This brief essay focuses on Adrienne Harris's consideration of the analyst's vocation, both as work and as a calling. Harris identifies a psychoanalytic vocation as one that is "unsettled," leaving analysts to examine countertransference by attending not only to their own affect states, but through the exhumation of generational transfers that are informed by social histories and constructions. Harris's generative pedagogy, rooted in her capacious comparative scholarship, stands as exemplary of the analytic vocation.
