Memories, or attempts to dream undreamt traumas? Souvenirs dormants (Sleeping memories) by Patrick Modiano, under the gaze of Thomas Ogden
In “Sleeping memories”(2017), French writer Patrick Modiano confronts the past and his memories in a different way compared with his previous novels, as he keeps trying to revisit and repro
Truths, Reveries, Internal Moments of Meeting
Conceptualizing intersecting psychical dynamics taking place within the analytic relationship, the concept of truth is considered as an integral element of the patient's unrepresented, subjective self-experiences, particularly in respect to traumatic aspects. Truth is also conceptualized as a process of exploration of traumatic elements emerging dynamically in the context of transference.During such processes, it is possible that the patient's tr…
The intrapsychic and the intersubjective in contemporary psychoanalysis
Object-related and intersubjective processes in psychoanalysis
The author follows Bion's, Ogden's and the Barangers' formulations on the intersubjective field of analysis and begins with the hypothesis that, if the analytic situation aspires to mental growth and not just to insight, the new relationship becomes of particular importance. He presents the clinical case of a patient whose archaic relationship was experienced as a rather depriving one. The initial phase of analysis had periods of incomprehension …
The Intrapsychic and the Intersubjective in Contemporary Psychoanalysis
On a Soma-Psychotic Part of the Personality
Inspired by Bion, the concept of a soma-psychotic part of the personality is suggested. The authors present four clinical vignettes to illustrate certain clinical phenomena in which the body played a key role in the patient's personal history, during the analytic process, or both. Certain aspects of analytic technique with these severely disturbed patients are briefly referred to, including the analyst's reverie and transformational capacity, and…

Keeping the analytic relationship alive
In this paper, the author explores moments of incoherence and confusion in the analysand; moments when the analyst is unable to understand, feels alienated and may even slip into lethargy. The clinical material is taken from the analysis of a female patient. The period presented is dominated by incoherence, confusion, unfinished sentences on the part of the patient. The interpretations dealt with her tendency to create a relationship devoid of al…
Projective identification, containment and sojourn in the psyche
This paper suggests that the interplay between transference and countertransference is considered to be a valuable channel of communication. The author puts an emphasis on the containing function of the analyst. The patient strives for an experience of an object (analyst) that tolerates and copes with the patient's projections. There are some moments when analysts feel themselves to be invaded, controlled or abused by their patient's products. As…
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Severely Disturbed Borderline Patients
On the Psychoanalytic Treatment of the Depressive Personality
In order to discuss the depressive personality we have first to distinguish between this clinical entity and other types of depressive psychopathology that might also be chronic. The character traits and psychodynamics of the depressive personality confirm that there is a special group of patients, who belong to a depressive disorder continuum. The particular technical problems that depressive personality present are: (1) the inability to enjoy a…
On the Therapist’s Reverie and Containing Function
Containment and interpretation are two inseparable aspects of the psychoanalytic technique. This is better understood by Bion's clinical metaphors of "container-contained" relationship and the capacity for reverie. Bion, continuing and expanding Klein's concept of projective identification, has transposed this from what happens to an infant to what happens in the link between mother and infant; until now he laid emphasis on the mother's (or thera…
On the process of the psychoanalytic psychotherapy with the borderline depressive patient
A certain subgroup of borderline patients often presents depressive symptomatology (either chronic or periodic) and an underlying borderline personality organization. In this article, the effort is directed at elucidating the psychoanalytic psychotherapeutic process of these borderline depressives by presenting clinical fragments of several psychotherapeutic cases. The process goes through periods of activation of the patient's depressive or prim…
