Objective: To analyze how the predominance of pathological mechanisms of projective identification of primary objects, i.e. morbid identification, present in transgenerational and intergenerational transmission, is traumatizing in the emotional development of the individual. This concept is articulated with the historicity of the subject and the influence of the environment in the constitution of the psyche. The discovery of this unconscious communication, transforming and revealing a historical dimension of the human being, is enriching for the understanding of psychic suffering, since it allows the integration of its secret, hidden, enigmatic or psychically unrepresentable aspects in the mental life of patients. Methodology: presentation of two clinical vignettes in which the presence of morbid identifications, as a transgenerational phenomenon that revealed itself in the transference situation, overflowing the intrapsychic field, prevented the development of a psychism of its own. Results and conclusions: Morbid identification, which can inhabit or parasitize the self, requires psychoanalytic intervention to lead the subject to disidentify, so that play and dream can take its place.

Objectives: To develop, through the construction of a narrative of the analytic experience, the vicissitudes of the analyst-analysand. Development: Exposing the analytical process that took place, the transference and countertransference and the importance of neutrality and abstinence even in handling difficult cases considered for the psychoanalytic method and technique. Conclusions: The analyst must be able to protect and take care of the analytical process, to allow this to be an experience for analyzing, copper meaning a link that looks creative and hopeful psychic change.

Objectives: To establish areas of agreement or disagreement on some fundamental theoretical concepts, tools and techniques in psychoanalysis recommendations within the group of local colleagues. Development: By means of a survey, whose results are processed statistically and are discussed, we will seek to clarify the common elements of local analysts. Results and Conclusions: The common ground is established around the technical elements, particularly, the use of transference, counter-transference and the analytical setting. Narcissism, as an element of the theory, is another binding factor. Acceptance of the various theoretical models, it is consensual and therefore not configured as a common ground.

Objective: This paper is a reflexion about the difference between past and history, highlighted by Lacan. Development: Through reading some of Freud's basic texts about technique and analysing a clinical situation, the author reflects on the notions of symptom, interpretation and transference. Results and Conclusions: The symptom, for example, as a representative of the repressed, is shown here as an indispensable guide, because it contains the remains of the language that can link the missing history, and therefore, using the transfer may find ways for reconstruction. The concept of transference is explained by questioning its pathological vision. Finally, the paper ends considering the dynamics of transference, finding many interesting sequences on the way the psychoanalytic cure operates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To show, how in a family group, the emptiness (negative) is the element common all members of the family that leads to deny the other's existence. The negative or that which cannot be represented, it's manifested as the uncanny. Development: Through clinical vignettes is illustrated as in the counter transference, the analyst discovers the uncanny to hide the negative. The use of denial and the splits manifests themselves as bizarre. The presence of the analyst allows the recovery and processing of split-off aspects of each family member so they can recognize and be recognized as subjects of that group. Results and Conclusions: The use of counter contratransference is essential to ensure the registration of the negative at different levels: in the preverbal, verbal language, and defense mechanisms.

Objective: This paper states that those factors traditionally used by psychiatry for the assessment of suicidal risk are insufficient and not conclusive since they appear outside the clinical experience. Development: The author shows how clinical interview, which is not included among those factors, is the most sensitive and determinating element, since it gives direct evidence of their presence or absence. Results and conclusions:The patient's ability to receive and utilize the therapist's contributions is related to his or her capability to establish emotional links. When K link is achieved, the unconscious factors that underlie the suicidal act can be known and elaborated, which in its turn runs inversely proportional to suicidal risk. The role of the interview, besides its possible therapeutic function, is to assess these aspects in the patient. Clinic cases are presented, it is discuss the role played by ethics in the counter transference of this situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This work begins as a meditation on the passage of the repressed to consciousness, which takes place during the analytic treatment. It draws primarily on "Rememberance, Repeating and Development" (1914), incredibly rich theoretical work in which Freud made, perhaps for the first time, a theory of healing, and specifically in terms of analytical and full metapsychology. . . . . Development: During the course of this investigation, it was revealing the transference as a phenomenon in itself of great importance because it has the ability to upgrade - to stage-never expressed the unconscious rather than the symptoms, to the way of working and modifications. Conclusions: The transferance represents a shift in the unconscious structure, which opens the process of healing. It is then necessarily the question of the role of analyst. What to do with the unconscious deployment date? What is the point in the interpretation? What really make the unconscious,conscious? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The author discusses the controversial and exciting theme of countertransference, In this paper, he emphasizes the need of the analyst's presence during the time of the session and, in opposition to the cut, proposes the need to re-launch it in the direction of what the development of transference-countertransference provokes, promoted by this presence of the other and delineated by the rule of abstinence. Development: He begins on the basis that a-temporality and a-spatiality play a preponderant part in the achievement of both the patient's free association as well as the analyst's evenly suspended attention, which promotes the shaping of "transference facts" which gradually force successive insights. The analyst's advanced presence, his emotion and thoughts, origins of the incomparable influence of psychoanalysis in the development of the culture of the last century, expose him to affects and emotions provoked by the patient which are very difficult to work through. The magnitude of the anxiety reigning in today's world is extreme, and it seems that it is the task of psychoanalysis to perceive and anticipate what is to come and help it to be born. Conclusions: The author postulates the use of countertransference as one of the facets that differentiates psychoanalysis from the broad field of the psychotherapies. He mentions that the tendency to avoid it by important schools of thought in the contemporary practice of psychoanalysis places it in a controversial position, since it alludes tangentially to the relation that its exclusion may have to the tendency these days to "save" time, no matter what the cost.

Objective: The present paper will try to summarize the history of Latin-American psychoanalysis, which through many decades promoted, and in a certain way established, developments and conceptualizations that were recognized “officially” in Anglo-Saxon and European psychoanalysis only the past years. Or only known but not ever recognized, as such contributions permit a trough convergence between the “new” and the “older” founds. Development: The development of the paper is sustained in clinical labor, particularly themes which makes through the importance of the counter-transference in psychoanalytic session and psychoanalytic processes. Those were extensible worked from authors like Racker, the Barangers, and E. Pichón Riviere, and the river-plate psychoanalysis in general. In other words, these are conceptualizations, in between the finding of a through own subjectivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Establish a critical reading of the text Models for thinking, Models for implementing, text written by Eduardo Laverde Rubio. Methods: Through the commentary methodology the author (Guillermo Sánchez Medina) contrasts his ideas with those of the reference text, the author then presents his views. Results and Conclusions: The author suggests the concept of complementary models, in this notion he take the contributions of the theory of complexity. The author criticizes the one-dimensional views. The investigation of the mind, of which psychoanalysis is an example, involves multiple models approach, the critical attitude and the presence of uncertainty. Finally, the author addresses the issue of technical, focusing on the analysis of the process transference-countertransference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To study the “transference neurosis” concept in Freud´s work. Development: Between 1905 and 1917, Freud differentiated transference as a phenomenon immanent of the transference neurosis as an entity circumscriptive to the treatment. In this lapse of time he thought psychoanalytic treatment as a solitary battle waged between the analyst and the resistance by the transference neurosis. The transference neurosis concept liberated psychoanalytic treatment from the idea of suggestive therapy and gave it scientific status positioning. In Beyond the pleasure principle the original field on which treatment takes action was extended. In the same way, transference and compulsion to repeat were transformed in the resisted and the ego was to exert resistance. The analyst found an ally in the patient that observed and participated in the process of cure. The fight between analyst and illness was replaced by a combat within the patient between the ego and the compulsion to repeat. In The Question of Lay Analysis, although not explicitly, Freud included counter-transference as an inherent problem of the transference. In Analysis Terminable and Interminable and in An Outline of Psychoanalysis, (1940 [1938]) it is not found a re-definition of the transference neurosis to adapt it to the new idea of illness.
