The empty core
Psychoanalytical experience suggests that there is an empty core at the heart of desire and the object world. Such a void is often taken to be the result of loss, deprivation or faulty development. Without denying this possibility, it is argued that the sense of a void is also part of our mental make-up. Through a metapsychological reading of a theme developed by Lacan in his 7th seminar, the theme of an empty core is elaborated theoretically as …
The enigmatic “nature of the subject
Freud once placed psychoanalysis in a “middle position between medicine and philosophy”. Yet, the meaning of that position has never been sufficiently clarified. The author suggests that the essence of the psychoanalytic experience is defined by the fact that its clinical practice operates within a basically relational or intersubjective frame containing the analysand's self-interpreting reflection, which here is identified as ethical in nature. …

Narrative as a hermeneutical relationship to the unconscious
In this article, what seems to have been two central tenets in contemporary psychoanalytic narrative theory are challenged. The one—propounded by Roy Schafer—is that the goal of psychoanalytic work is to furnish the analysand with an alternative narrative. The other—propounded by Donald Spence—is that any story will do, if only it is coherent, consistent, persuasive and encompasses the known “facts”. Basing his critique of the mentioned standpoin…
From knowledge to competence
In this paper, the author maintains that the language of the clinical situation is and should be that of common-sense psychology. The author argues that the languages of clinical theory and metapsychology are at a distinctive distance from clinical language. In fact, no theory could be produced, should this distance not be upheld. The function of clinical theory is to act as a corrective to the tendency of common-sense psychology to fall back int…
Reflecting Psychoanalysis
A contribution to the interpretation of unconscious fantasy
The status of the concept of unconscious fantasy is ambiguous in Freud's writings and to this day still debatable within the psychoanalytic community. Taking Freud's article of 1919—“A child is being beaten”—as his starting point, the author develops a tripartite theoretical model on the basis of Freud's analysis of a masochistic fantasy. In a second stage, this model is applied back onto some central points in that same text. Departing from Freu…

Freud's narrative. from case history to life story
Reeder J. Freud's Narrative. From Case History to Life Story. Int Forum Psychoanal 1992;l:Sl-60. Stockholm. ISSN 0803-706X In awareness of the recent interest in the narrative activity of the psychoanalytic experience, the present paper attempts to delineate the place and function of narrativity in Freud's writings. It is argued that he lacked an understanding of the meaning of the life history of the patient for the alleviation of the latter's s…
