Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing, or BARF.

"The analyst, by freeing himself from the 'enchainment to past and future',
casts off the arbitrary pattern and waits for new aesthetic form to emerge,
which will (it is hoped) transform the content of the analytic encounter."
— From Psychoanalytic Aesthetics: The British School ,
by Nicola Glover, Chapter 4
