[Sigmund Freud in supervision].
Hilda Doolittle's memories of her analysis with Sigmund Freud in the years 1933/34 motivated the author to act playfully as a posthumous supervisor of Freud. It becomes obvious that a transference/countertransference configuration which manifested itself in the very first hour could not be analyzed. The reason was found in an unsolvable contradiction between Freud's countertransference feelings of disappointment and rage and his wishes as an old man threatened by death to be loved by a young woman and to assure posthumous fame. Both the countertransference feelings and the wishes of Freud were not analyzed but acted out. In this process the favorite dog of Freud, Jofi, had an important part as a mediator and transitional object. It was Jofi which protected the working alliance against the conflicting non-analyzed feelings of Freud.
