The title refers to “lost objects” in a double sense: both that of the loss of concrete things, and relational ones, in which people are lost or never found. These are all phenomena that must be included in the general framework of separation, of the related processes of loss and mourning. Along this line, the way in which one acts or fears the loss of things or people can give us interesting information on the current level of intrapsychic processes of separation between self and non-self, on the defensive organizations that operate in the various circumstances in which one loses or becomes lost; on the dynamics between internal objects; and on missed experiences at the origin of the processes of representation and introjection.

Keywords: representation, introjection, separation loss, attentional intermittencies.
