Notes
These two concepts, the depressive position and the genital stage, however, when studied closely, are not all that far from each other, partly because of Freud's and Klein's agreements about some kind of oedipal situation in internal life, and maturing capabilities of accessing preferably higher and less desirably lower levels of psychic integration (but for a good, detailed consideration, see Ellman 2010).
Mini-lecture: “Dr Juliet Mitchell on Siblings and Hysteria,” UCL, May 26, 2010.
Transferentially here, I was moving back and forth in the roles of each sister, as well as occupying maternal space (where the “Law of the Mother” fits in).
