56th Annual Education Conference
The role of social class in the analytic encounter has been given little attention in our psychoanalytic literature and training institutes. This dimension of the treatment relationship tends to remain invisible most of the time. However, when the analyst raises the fee, it can become a catalyst for bringing social class concerns of both the patient and analyst into the treatment room. A fee increase often evokes shame, envy, and guilt for both if raised in a working-class home. The author considers unconscious dynamics informing psychoanalytic work between patients and analysts who outwardly appear to have no conflict about their social class origins but privately harbor much shame and anger about where they come from.
