Abstract
The authors describe the clinical course toward death of two patients who, with their physician, became "partners in dying." The emphasis is on the equilibrium that these patients established through an appreciation of their special needs, including the object relationships required. The authors maintain that the management of each dying patient requires a careful assessment of the specific object relationships that will promote equilibrium.Abstract Teaser
