It may not be clear to the person what he [or she] has discovered but the picturing inside the mind of some person or event has the integrity of memory rather than the fracture of hallucination,” notes Bollas about the condition in The Shadow of the Object: Psychoanalysis of the Unthought Known (New York: Columbia University Press, 1987): 271.
