Description:
This review of the concept of sadism will emphasize its role as a way of preserving a relationship to an important object. We will then consider the thesis that "sublimated" sadism is a necessary component of most of what we identify as therapeutic technique. Clinical examples will be used to distinguish two different but complementary affective positions -- loosely, technical and empathic -- taken by the therapist in the course of treatment, in order to locate the constructive role played by the therapist's sadism.
