Psychoanalyst Marc Hebbrecht discusses how analysts grapple with personal loss and aging, including the loss of illusions. He explores the impact on their professional work, ethical dilemmas, and challenges faced. Using a film as an example, he delves into mourning, trauma, and the changing role of psychoanalysis. He also addresses working with psychotic and borderline patients, navigating disillusionment in long-term analysis, and the importance of questioning diagnoses.
