Abstract
A method for working through the mourning of the parent in psychoanalytic therapy is described. The method permits focusing on the patient’s relationship to the imago as it manifests itself during the mourning. The internal shifting that results permits a reorganization of personality with far-reaching implications for adaptationa change.Keywords
