The final stage of the dying process.

The final stage of the dying process is seen as beginning when the split of mental-self and body-self has taken place in the mind of the dying person. Successfully carried out mourning work gives the dying the final experience of giving up his body and of merging into the fantasy world which becomes highly cathected. When dying, the person creates a new combination of his life's experiences which is more truly representative of the reality in face of impending death. The creative outcome in the analysis of the dying person is a unique relationship of communication. In that communication the fear of death on the most regressive level of the dying process, as fear of losing contact with own fantasies as the last link to life, can get a meaningful resolution by offering the possibility of communicating these fantasies to another person in transference.

The inner space of the body image.

In a review of the psychoanalytic literature the authors show that throughout life the ego structure and identity of an individual are founded to a significant degree on the sensations and awareness of the body. It is suggested that psychic processes processes primarily evolve from cathecting biological events, of which the quality of rhythm seems to be most important. Each of the erogenous zones has its own inner space which is integrated into the body image and the body self as the child grows. The authors introduce the idea of the inner space of speech, voice, and respiration developing concurrently with the erogenous inner spaces. The most highly developed form is the adult genital inner space and its sublimated derivatives which form the basis for the biological creativity of begetting offspring and the psychic creativity of begetting original ideas.
