These are patients who are preoccupied with maintaining proper physical distance from their objects, in order to regulate anxieties about isolation on the one hand, and identity-annihilating closeness on the other. Since they believe the activity of looking to be intrusive and devouring, hence dangerous, transparent screens are interposed between self and other, and serve as protective barriers. These screens function intrapsychically as well, to split off or hide those aspects of the self felt to be unacceptable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The analyst may witness the failure of the screen in several ways: it may create too great a distance, isolating the individual and keeping him from life; it may become contaminated by projections and turn into a persecutor, or trap the individual, a state of intolerable claustrophobia; most dramatically, it may suddenly shatter. The latter is associated with psychosis and death, and its appearance may be a harbinger of suicide.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000306518803600202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,16]],"date-time":"2009-06-16T19:27:52Z","timestamp":1245180472000},"page":"295-317","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Transparent Screens"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Richard J.","family":"Rosenthal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"435 North Roxbury Drive Beverly Hilk, CA 90210"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1988,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Separation-individuation: Essays in Honor of Margaret S.
