The denial of dependence and interdependence often characterises the end of the analysis, both in classical literature and in many analyses currently carried out. This depends, to a large extent, on the dominant cultural context in the United States, marked by a masculine attitude of subjectivity, based on the negation of relationality, that is, on a form of defensive autonomy that the author connects with "maternal resistance". With the help of a particularly suitable clinical case (the development of self-esteem and access to affective and sentimental relationships in a gay man), she highlights all the difficulties that at the end of the analysis hinder the elaboration of these issues, which are decisive for the conquest of true autonomy.
