TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Haunted by parents--a literary example of change meaning loss: Edna St. Vincent Millay JO - Psychoanalytic quarterly A1 - Shengold, Leonard L. SP - 717 EP - 735 VL - 73 IS - 3 N2 - The author uses the life and personal history of the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, as revealed through her diaries and letters and in biographies, to illustrate a particular type of psychoanalytic patient. Such patients are resistant to change, particularly when it involves letting go of the internalization of early parental figures. Although some of these patients fail to achieve successful analytic outcomes, Millay is an example of someone with similar circumstances who nevertheless made significant creative contributions.
