I read the article with great interest, especially the patient's experience of the alliance as "artificial" while the therapists described the patient as intolerant of emotional closeness with them.
I had absolutely no idea what this means though ( the no-body part??).

The more therapy meant to her, and the more I meant to her, the worse, the more dangerous the therapy became for her and the more she needed to turn me into a no-body. During that time I was functioning pretty much as an extension of the furniture in the room, I was part of the fitting-up, so to say, I was not a living person.
