Montage in Cinema and in the Analytic Session
Albert Brok
Abstract
This article considers similarities between montage in film and the functions of of a psychoanalyst in the therapeutic session. Similar to a cinema director, who creates montage in a film, a psychoanalyst is involved through his interventions (and non interventions), as to what is to be emphasized and what scene is to be created during the continuous stream of the patient’s associative process. It is also stressed, that the patient unlike a cinema audience, has his own montage, which influences the scene that is to be created. Clinical examples are give to illustrate this process as well as the complex factors, such as ‘play space’ availability in film and on the analytic couch.
