A session with Lucia
The clinical material concerns a session with a patient undergoing re-analysis six years after the end of the previous treatment period: analyst and patient are the same persons, but both find themselves profoundly changed after the first experience. For the patient, what is at stake is the deepening and greater articulation of internal contact with self and other, together with the recovery of a greater sense of continuity and cohesion in the se…
Brève histoire de la Società Psicoanalitica Italiana (SPI) dans le contexte international
L’histoire de la SPI est caractérisée par les grandes difficultés rencontrées au début de son existence. En effet, à cause du fascisme, de l’opposition de l’Église catholique, du courant philosophique idéaliste à l’université et de la psychiatrie organiciste dans le domaine médical, le développement de la psychanalyse a été fortement contrarié. Au niveau international, la méconnaissance des langues a pénalisé la présence des analystes italiens à …
L’analyste et son rapport avec les théories
Cet article explore certaines relations intrapsychiques complexes des psychanalystes avec leurs théories privées sélectionnées, ainsi que les expressions et variations tout aussi complexes de ces théories dans la communauté et la littérature psychanalytiques. Elles ont accompagné la formation souvent conflictuelle de groupes, d’écoles et d’orientations technico-conceptuelles, au fil des décennies. Plus spécifiquement, l’article met en évidence la…
The Interpsychic, the Interpersonal, and the Intersubjective: Response to Steven H. Goldberg’s Discussion
From What to How: A Conversation with Stefano Bolognini on Emotional Attunement
Enchantements et désenchantements dans la formation et utilisation des théories psychanalytiques sur la réalité psychique
Cette réflexion explore la complexité des relations intrapsychiques des analystes avec leurs théories d'élection et leur déclinaison complexe dans le cadre plus général de la communauté et de la littérature psychanalytiques, à travers les vicissitudes historiques réitérées ayant accompagné la formation des groupes, des écoles et les orientations technico-conceptuelles, souvent conflictuelles, au cours des décennies. L'auteur souligne en particuli…
Ce qui peut naître entre un psychanalyste et son chien
L'auteur relate ici sa relation « atypique » avec les chiens : une peur ancienne mêlée d'attirance, puis le plaisir éprouvé dans un lien unique avec Lajos, son terrier Airedale . Cette expérience lui permet de découvrir - en tant qu'humain et psychanalyste - la richesse de l'interaction et de la communication de la rencontre inter-espèces. Cette expérience transformatrice et émouvante vient enrichir sa clinique psychanalytique par l'apprentissage…
Opening address by the IPA president to the conference on Parent–Infant Disturbance, Paris, November 13–14, 2015
In his opening video address, Dr. Stefano Bolognini elaborates on “the social function of psychoanalysis in the field of psychic suffering in childhood and in adolescence.”
Plaisir, maîtrise et légitimation narcissique, points cardinaux de la perversion
Au-delà du concept de perversion entendu comme une forme strictement sexuelle au sens concret, on préfère aujourd'hui en étendre le sens à l'aire relationnelle interne et externe tout entière, une aire qui maintient une continuité de sens et de fonction (« perversion relationnelle ») avec la sexualité. Sont ici présentés les concepts de maîtrise/savoir-faire, fonction légitimante, prestige secret et de surexcitation érotisante, dans un cadre soci…

The Analyst’s Awkward Gift: Balancing Recognition of Sexuality with Parental Protectiveness
The author describes the many roles that the analyst is called upon to fulfill in the transference during the course of an analysis. The loving transference is distinguished from the erotic transference and the erotized transference. Repetition is discussed, as is narcissism, especially in the light of clinical situations in which oedipal issues take center stage. Four brief clinical examples are presented
Secret Passages: The Theory and Technique of Interpsychic Relations
Attualità del transfert [The Transference Today]
Reconsidering narcissism from a contemporary, complex psychoanalytic view
In this paper, the author articulates a contemporary perspective on the narcissistic dimension in its complexity in the light of two clinical cases. Such a perspective takes into consideration and makes use of both the developments brought about by the French Freudian tradition of Green, Grunberger, and Chasseguet-Smirgel and the contributions of Kohut and self-psychology. In order to find the best strategies for treatment, it has today become of…
Le bar dans le désert, symétrie et asymétrie dans le traitement d'adolescents difficiles
L’auteur considère que les moments alternés spécifiques de la relation symétrique-asymétrique facilitent le travail analytique et permettent des interprétations avec un analysant qui d’habitude a peur de la dépendance, qui est hostile envers les représentants du surmoi, et qui a besoin d’une contenance non déclarée et d’une contribution à la cohérence du soi, comme le patient adolescent. Le récit clinique illustre cette manière spécifique de trav…

The profession of ferryman: Considerations on the analyst's internal attitude in consultation and in referral
Psychoanalytic consultation is an interview with a patient who will not be taken in treatment by the consultant analyst, but who will be sent to another, perhaps specifically chosen, colleague after one or more assessment sessions. This practice is becoming increasingly important since, besides traditional private relationships between consultant and patient, it is now common in many specialized centres affiliated to official psychoanalytical ins…
Punkabbestia: Une consultation fatigante
L’auteur retranscrit l’unique rencontre avec un adolescent « punkabbestia », qui consulte à la demande de ses parents et pour une éventuelle orientation. L’analyse du contre-transfert du thérapeute est ici minutieusement développée
Intrapsychic‐Interpsychic
The ‘interpsychic’ is an extended psychic dimension, regarding the joint functioning and reciprocal influences of two minds. The concepts of ‘subjectivity’ and ‘person’ can be included in the ‘interpsychic’. They can also overlap with each other, and sometimes all three can overlap together, but they do not necessarily coincide. In the different contemporary perspectives, how can we modify the intrapsychic ‘through’ (and ‘with’ and ‘by’) the inte…

The Analyst at Work: Two Sessions With Alba
In this paper, the author presents clinical material that relates to two sessions with a patient called Alba. This analytic work, being of a somewhat unusual character, lends itself to discussion, the author feels, since the technical choices made are undoubtedly very personal and he believes many colleagues might have done things differently. The author endeavours to enrich the account of the sessions with his concomitant thoughts, so as to supp…
Empathy and The Unconscious
The author examines the complex relationship between the concepts of empathy and unconscious, including exploration of topical, structural, and dynamic aspects; and the risk of oversimplification of empathy is discussed. Two clinical examples are then presented to demonstrate some of the complex factors that may contribute to or hinder the development and utilization of empathy by the analyst, many of which lie outside the analyst's conscious awa…
