Inspired and chaired by Theodore Jacobs, the IPA panel entitled "The Analyst's Pain" aimed t investigate the analytic situation in which we are subject to periods of extremely intense "pain" during the course of our day-to-day work as analysts.  For this panel the analysts;s "pain" referred to extremely powerful positive or negative affects, such as rage, terror, hatred, impotence, heart-wrenching sorrow and sexual arousal.  Often these affects are evoked by a trying patient who acts out,  for example, in a manipulative, provocative, hostile and seductive ways within the transference.
