Trauma: open concept.

This paper presents and discusses two sets of theories concerning trauma. The first involves a contemporary social theory of "cultural trauma" and the second refers to psychoanalytic theories on psychic trauma. We argue that these two groups of theories have some relevant elements in common, despite social theorists' critique of psychoanalytic understanding on the matter. In our view, the most important meeting points between these groups of theories concern (a) the possibility to think that trauma is not welded to events but has a formation process, one of attribution of meaning, (b) that this process has a temporality of its own, and (c) that the environment (the objects, actors, and agents that compose it) has a fundamental and determinant role in trauma formation. Further, we suggest that trauma is still an open concept in psychoanalysis.

Ferenczi e a clínica psicanalítica contemporânea: uma revisão sobre suas contribuições ao papel do analista / Ferenczi and the contemporary psychoanalytic clinic: a review of his contributions to the role of the analyst / Ferenczi et la clinique psychanalytique contemporaine: une revue de ses contributions au rôle de l'analyste / Ferenczi y la clínica psicoanalítica contemporánea: Una revisión de sus contribuciones al papel del analista

Objetivou-se fazer uma revisão sistemática da produção científica nacional e internacional, no período de 2015 a 2020, sobre a obra de Sándor Ferenczi e suas contribuições à clínica psicanalítica na contemporaneidade, no que concerne ao papel do analista. Os seguintes descritores foram utilizados: "Ferenczi" "clínica psicanalítica" e "analista". As bases de dados pesquisadas foram: P@rthenon, SciELO e Pepsic. Foi utilizada a metodologia da Análise de Conteúdo. O processo de análise levou a leitura dos títulos, resumos e textos completos, e 52 artigos preencheram os critérios. A pesquisa compreendeu que a retomada dos trabalhos de Ferenczi quanto ao papel do analista evidenciam uma nova configuração de relação analítica baseada em uma ética do cuidado. O papel do analista apresenta-se como uma possibilidade de contorno e sustentação às experiências traumáticas, colaborando com o paciente, na produção de sentidos e elaborações dessas experiências

This is a systematic review of national and international scientific papers published between 2015 and 2020 on Sándor Ferenczi's work and his contributions to the contemporary psychoanalytic clinic, mainly regarding the role of the analyst. Search was conducted on the P@rthenon, Scielo and Pepsic databases using "Ferenczi," "psychoanalytic clinic" and "analyst" as search descriptors. After reading the titles, abstracts and full texts a total of 52 articles met the inclusion criteria. Resumption of Ferenczi's work on the role of the analyst reveals a new configuration of analytical relations based on an ethics of care. The analyst presents a possibility of shaping and underpinning traumatic experiences, collaborating with the patient to produce meanings and elaborations of these experiences

Il s'agit d'une revue systématique des articles scientifiques nationaux et internationaux publiés entre 2015 et 2020 sur l'œuvre de Sándor Ferenczi et ses contributions à la clinique psychanalytique contemporaine, notamment en ce qui concerne le rôle de l'analyste. La recherche a été effectuée sur les bases de données P@rthenon, Scielo et Pepsic en utilisant « Ferenczi ¼, « clinique psychanalytique ¼ et « analyste ¼ comme descripteurs. Après la lecture des titres, des résumés et des textes intégraux, 52 articles répondaient aux critères d'inclusion. La reprise des travaux de Ferenczi sur le rôle de l'analyste révèle une nouvelle configuration des relations analytiques fondées sur une éthique du soin. L'analyste offre la possibilité de concevoir et d'étayer les expériences traumatiques, en collaborant avec le patient pour produire de significations et d'élaborations de ces expériences

El objetivo fue realizar una revisión sistemática de la producción científica nacional e internacional, en forma de artículo científico, de 2015 a 2020, sobre la obra de Sándor Ferenczi y sus aportes a la clínica psicoanalítica en la contemporaneidad, en torno al papel del analista. Se utilizaron los siguientes descriptores: "Ferenczi", "clínica psicoanalítica" y "analista". Las bases de datos buscadas fueron: P@rthenon, Scielo y Pepsic. Se utilizó la metodología de Análisis de Contenido. El proceso de análisis condujo a la lectura de títulos, resúmenes y textos completos y 52 artículos cumplieron los criterios. La investigación entendió que la reanudación del trabajo de Ferenczi sobre el rol del analista revela una nueva configuración de relación analítica basada en una ética del cuidado. El rol del analista se presenta como una posibilidad de modelar y sostener experiencias traumáticas, colaborando con el paciente, en la producción de significados y elaboraciones de estas experiencias

Ferenczi e a mutualidade expressiva / Ferenczi and the expressive mutuality / Ferenczi et la mutualite expressive

O propósito deste artigo é apresentar uma nova "terminologia" que organize, torne inteligível e lance luz sobre algumas experiências clínicas empreendidas por Sándor Ferenczi quando do tratamento de sujeitos com histórico de trauma. Propomos designar, sob o termo "mutualidade expressiva", o gesto do analista de se permitir expressar o impacto dos afetos que lhe são provocados pelas expressões emocionais do analisando, produzindo repercussões profundas neste último. A mutualidade expressiva coloca em relevo três pontos trabalhados por Ferenczi, e que serão discutidos ao longo deste artigo: i) a construção da confiança e o remanejamento da dinâmica da clivagem; ii) o desenvolvimento do afeto que foi interrompido quando do desmentido; iii) a reconsideração crítica da postura técnica de neutralidade e indiferença do analista.

The purpose of this article is to present a new "terminology" that organizes, makes intelligible and sheds light on some clinical experiences undertaken by Sándor Ferenczi when treating individuals with a history of trauma. We propose to designate, under the term "expressive mutuality", the analyst's gesture of allowing himself to express the impact of the affects that are provoked by the patient's emotional expressions, producing profound repercussions in the latter. The expressive mutuality highlights three points worked on by Ferenczi, which will be discussed throughout this article: i) the construction of trust and the reorganization of the dynamics of the splitting; ii) the development of the affect that was interrupted when denied; iii) the critical reconsideration of the analyst's technical principle of neutrality.

Le but de cet article est de présenter une nouvelle «terminologie¼ qui organise, rend intelligible et met en lumière certaines expériences cliniques entreprises par Sándor Ferenczi lors du traitement de sujets ayant des antécédents de traumatisme. Nous proposons de désigner, sous le terme de «mutualité expressive¼, le geste de l'analyste de se permettre d'exprimer l'impact des affects provoquées par les expressions émotionnelles de l'analysant, produisant chez celui-ci de profondes répercussions. La mutualité expressive met en évidence trois points travaillés par Ferenczi, qui seront abordés tout au long de cet article: i) la construction de la confiance et la réorganisation de la dynamique du clivage; ii) le développement de l'affect qui a été interrompue lorsque refusée; iii) le réexamen critique de la position technique de neutralité et d'indifférence de l'analyste.

Friendship, Creativity and Dispute in the Freud-Fliess and Ferenczi-Groddeck Letters.

In this paper we examine the different transferential relationships that occurred between two sets of friends: Freud-Fliess and Ferenczi-Groddeck; consider the impact of these variables on their productivity, creativity, and friendship; and review historical literature to analyze how the nature of their bonds shaped very different personal destinies. Freud and Fliess greatly admired each other, and expressed reciprocal support, trust, and idealization but their underlying dispute over the paternity of certain ideas ultimately led to a bitter end. Essentially, their transference can be characterized as paternal-filial. The Ferenczi-Groddeck relationship, on the other hand, shared many of the same traits as the Freud-Fliess pair: a strong friendship, mutual admiration, even idealization, but their bond evolved into a more fraternal transference, which enabled their love, admiration, and respect to develop into a mutually-enriching relationship that endured for their entire lives.

Ferenczi's variations on the death drive.

This theoretical paper discusses three variations on the death drive, developed by Sándor Ferenczi. We present a brief history of the use of the term death drive among the first psychoanalysts and argue that, as early as 1913, the notion is used by Ferenczi and serves as a conceptual background for his thinking. During the 1920s, Ferenczi revisits part of this concept, focusing on what he identifies as a primacy of self-destruction. The destructive drive gains an adaptive character responsible for the mortification of parts of the individual, in exchange for the survival of the whole. In this variation, the tendency to regress also arises as the self-destruction drive and the acceptance of unpleasure involves a psychic "reckoning-machine." In the final variation, left unfinished, the death drive at times receives new names, like drive for "conciliation," and at others, the very idea of the death drive is criticized.

FERENCZI AND GENDER TROUBLE.

The paper analyzes Ferenczi's contributions to contemporary debates on gender. It does not strictly adhere to what he wrote about masculinity and femininity, where he reveals himself as a man of his time, with the some of the prejudices of his time. Instead, the paper highlights the utraquistic method and the pluralist monism of Ferenczi, whereby he appears as an analyst who remains in synch with current problems. Against the purity of dualisms, Ferenczi embraced multiplicity, mixtures, and the transit between different spaces, beyond divisive frontiers. In terms of method, it resonates with Judith Butler's proposals, with the ideas defended by Paul Preciado and by Queer theory.

Raised in the world of psychoanalysis: an interview with Judith Dupont.

This interview with Dr. Judith Dupont contains her reminiscences and thoughts about two topics of importance for the historiography of psychoanalysis. First, Dr. Dupont recalls her growing up among and meeting with pioneers, such as Vilma Kovács, Alice and Michael Balint, Melanie Klein, Imre Hermann and others. Second, Dr. Dupont reconstructs the chronicle of Ferenczi's manuscripts: how they were entrusted to Michael Balint by Ferenczi's widow, the complex reasons Balint could not publish them for more than 30 years, and finally, how Dr. Dupont succeeded in bringing the Clinical Diary to the public, and thus enriched contemporary psychoanalysis with the presence of Ferenczi after more than 50 years of silence and censorship.

Imperio: Imperialismo. Una dimensión humana / Império: Imperialismo. Uma dimensão humana / Empire: Impérialisme. Une dimension humaine

Multitudes de minorías, nos conduce a tratar de desentrañar, las profundidades de la constitución subjetiva y la concomitante vida en sociedad. Lo modelizaré desde Francisco Pizarro, conquistador del Perú y, de la película Macunaima, para pensar un Brasil profundo. Pensemos en F. Pizarro, que por condición de clase era analfabeto, pero había sido educado por el poder reinante, para devenir un conquistador desde una perspectiva imperialista, para esquilmar el oro y la plata de los pueblos originarios de América. En cuanto al segundo modelo que deseo desarrollar, me habré de apoyar en la película brasileña: Macunaima, es feo, no aceptado y condenado desde su origen traumático al sufrimiento, dado que es abandonado por su propia madre, por no cumplir con los cánones europeos que mesuran la belleza y el ideal de un humano perfecto. Ser blanco, de ojos azules, tener dinero y esquilmar a los obreros. El imperialismo, a priori, se basa en someter al diferente. Oprime pueblos y formas culturales de vivir, para ejercer un sometimiento por medio del poder de las armas y del capital para comprar adláteres. Son las minorías, las que habrán de tejer una trama, para luchar contra ese poder omnímodo y, vía una revolución en las ideas, instalar una forma más equitativa y humana, ligada a la horizontalidad y no a la verticalidad del poder absoluto del clásico imperialista.

Multidões de minorias, leva-nos a tentar desvendar as profundezas da constituição subjetiva e da concomitante vida em sociedade. Vou modelá-lo a partir de Francisco Pizarro, conquistador do Peru, e do filme Macunaíma, para pensar um Brasil profundo. Pensemos em F. Pizarro, que por condição de classe era analfabeto, mas havia sido educado pelo poder dominante, para se tornar um conquistador de uma perspectiva imperialista, para espoliar o ouro e a prata dos povos originários da América. Quanto ao segundo modelo que pretendo desenvolver, terei que contar com o filme brasileiro: Macunaíma, é feio, não aceito e condenado desde sua origem traumática ao sofrimento, visto que é abandonado pela própria mãe, por não cumprir Cânones europeus que medem a beleza e o ideal de um humano perfeito. Ser branco, de olhos azuis, ter dinheiro e espoliar os trabalhadores. O imperialismo, a priori, baseia-se na subjugação do diferente. Oprime povos e modos de vida culturais, para exercer a subjugação através do poder das armas e do capital para comprar lacaios. São as minorias, que terão que tecer uma trama, lutar contra esse poder onipotente e, por meio de uma revolução nas ideias, instalar uma forma mais equitativa e humana, ligada à horizontalidade e não à verticalidade do poder absoluto do imperialista clássico.

Multitudes de minorités, nous amène à essayer de démêler les profondeurs de la constitution subjective et de la vie concomitante en société.Je m'inspirerai de Francisco Pizarro, conquérant du Pérou, et du film Macunaima, pour penser un Brésil profond. Pensons à F. Pizarro, qui par condition de classe était analphabète, mais avait été éduqué par le pouvoir en place, pour devenir un conquérant dans une perspective impérialiste, pour escroquer l'or et l'argent des peuples originaires de l'Amérique. Concernant le deuxième modèle que je veux développer, je vais devoir m'appuyer sur le film brésilien: Macunaima, est moche, pas accepté et condamné depuis son origine traumatique à la souffrance, étant donné qu'il est abandonné par sa propre mère, pour ne pas avoir respecté Des canons européens qui mesurent la beauté et l'idéal d'un humain parfait. Être blanc, avoir les yeux bleus, avoir de l'argent et escroquer les ouvriers. L'impérialisme, a priori, repose sur l'assujettissement du différent. Il opprime les peuples et les modes de vie culturels, pour exercer l'assujettissement par le pouvoir des armes et du capital pour acheter des sbires. Ce sont les minorités qui devront tisser un complot, lutter contre ce pouvoir omnipotent et, via une révolution des idées, installer une forme plus équitable et plus humaine, liée à l'horizontalité et non à la verticalité du pouvoir absolu du impérialiste classique.

Considerações acerca da dimensão traumática no trabalho da Justiça Restaurativa: por um diálogo com Sándor Ferenczi / Considerations on the traumatic dimension in the work of Restorative Justice: towards a dialogue with Sándor Ferenczi / Consideraciones sobre la dimensión traumática en el trabajo de Justicia Restaurativa: hacia un diálogo con Sándor Ferenczi

Trata-se de trabalho teórico que busca aproximar a clínica do traumático de Ferenczi (psicanálise) das práticas de Justiça Restaurativa (JR). Através da exposição de algumas das proposições ferenczianas acerca da etiologia do trauma e de suas consequências para o psiquismo, pretendeu-se demonstrar que a condução dos círculos, conferências e encontros restaurativos podem levar a que os sujeitos (inclusive os facilitadores) tomem contato com experiências traumáticas que demandarão a construção de algum sentido e uma ética do cuidado que garanta ambiente hospitaleiro, evite retraumatismos e leve em conta a complexidade dos conflitos que se apresentam. Ao final, concluiu-se que o diálogo com a clínica do traumático de Ferenczi pode ser profícuo para aprimorar as metodologias restaurativas, sobretudo ao reclamar uma ética das intervenções de JR, apontar alguns limites e convocar outros saberes.

On this theoretical paper we seek to bring Ferenczi's clinic of trauma closer to Restorative Justice (JR) practices. Through the exposition of some Ferenczian propositions about the etiology of trauma and its consequences for the psychism, we intend to demonstrate that the conduction of so called circles, conferences and restorative meetings can lead the subjects (including facilitators) to get in touch with traumatic experiences. These experiences are in search for meaning and require an ethic of care. Such ethic aims at ensuring a hospitable environment, avoiding retraumatizations and taking into account the complexity of the conflicts that emerge. We concluded that the dialogue with Ferenczi's clinic of trauma can be fruitful to improve restorative methodologies (especially with regard to the ethics of JR interventions) point out some limits and summon other knowledges into the debate.

En este trabajo teórico, pretendemos acercar la clínica de lo traumático (psicoanálisis) de Ferenczi a la práctica de la Justicia Restaurativa (JR). A través de la exposición de algunas de las proposiciones ferenczianas sobre la etiología del trauma y sus consecuencias para el psiquismo, se pretendió demostrar que la conducción de círculos, conferencias y encuentros restaurativos puede llevar a los sujetos (incluyendo a los facilitadores) a entrar en contacto con experiencias traumáticas que exigirán la construcción de algún significado y una ética del cuidado que garantice un ambiente hospitalario, evite retraumatismos y tenga en cuenta la complejidad de los conflictos que se presentan. Al final, concluimos que el diálogo con la clínica del traumático de Ferenczi puede ser útil para el perfeccionamiento de las metodologías restaurativas, especialmente a la hora de reivindicar una ética de las intervenciones de JR, señalando algunos límites y convocando otros saberes.

"Call Me by Your Name": The Wrong Action: From Ferenczi to Enactment as a Process.

It is always hard for psychoanalysis to connect free associations and action. With Freud, action could be interpreted only when it referred to the transference; otherwise, action was a resistance to the possibility of free association. Unlike Freud, Ferenczi recognized the importance of the analyst's acting-out as the patient's unconscious request for experiences of trauma to be mobilized. By presenting a clinical case, the author offers the analyst's error as the mobilization of a traumatic block. The error activates a "Process of enactment," whereas if the error is not considered positively, it is simply a mistake, or the loss of a creative opportunity.

Social Trauma and Testimony: A Reading of Maryan S. Maryan's Notebooks Inspired by Sándor Ferenczi.

The purpose of this paper is to present the relational dimension of trauma according to Sándor Ferenczi, illustrating it by using the testimonial material produced during the analysis of Maryan S. Maryan, a visual artist, survivor of Auschwitz. Furthermore, a few formulations are proposed on being witness to traumatic experiences in psychoanalytic practice, as well as what can be considered as ethics and politics in psychoanalysis when facing situations of social trauma and violence.

The Freud-Ferenczi dialogue after the formulation of the Second Topic.

The author proposes to examine the scientific dialogue established by Freud and Ferenczi between 1920 and 1933 after Freud's formulation of the Second Topic, the Pleasure Principle. It is very informative to explore the closeness of some formulations of Freud with the more important clinical and metapsychological intuitions of Ferenczi. The role of repetition, the value of affects, the second theory of anxiety, the elasticity of the psychoanalytical technique and the problem of traumatism are some of aspects developed in this paper.

Ferenczian Elasticity in the Analysis of an Adolescent.

Psychoanalytic work with adolescents poses a challenge for analysts who adhere to standard analytic technique as many adolescents who need analytic intervention resist such a structured approach to analysis. The author finds that elasticity of technique is currently widely used by analysts when working with this difficult age group even though they may be unaware that this is, in fact, a Ferenczian technique. Clinical examples are presented to illustrate how frequently the technique is used in cases of resistant, troubled youth. The author outlines an approach that is sensitive to these resistances and makes compromises in technique based on the principle that engaging a troubled youth in a therapeutic venture is preferable to refusing treatment based on the patient's not being able to adhere to standard analytic technique. In this sense, Ferenczi was an early herald of the type of contemporary analytic work that is practiced currently especially with a difficult population of patients.

Ferenczi e a constituição das formas de expressão / Ferenczi and the constitution of the forms of expression / Ferenczi et la constitution des formes d'expression / Ferenczi y la constitución de las formas de expresión

Resumo Subsiste, ao longo de toda a obra de Sándor Ferenczi, uma preocupação com a dimensão do corpo na experiência psicanalítica, concebendo-o predominantemente sob o viés da expressão. Este artigo visa apresentar uma leitura, com base em sua teoria, sobre a constituição dos múltiplos modos de expressão. Para isso, são propostas seis ideias que se organizam em duas séries paralelas e complementares. A primeira envolve as noções de onipotência, catástrofe e regressão; a segunda agrupa as ideias de condição, adaptação e complexificação.

Abstract Throughout his work, Sándor Ferenczi concerns himself with the dimension of the body in the psychoanalytic experience, framing it predominantly from the point of view of expression. This paper presents a reading, based on his theory, on the constitution of multiple modes of expression. To do so, we propose six ideas organized in two parallel and complementary series: the first involves the notions of omnipotence, catastrophe, and regression; the second groups the ideas of condition, adaptation, and complexification.

Résumé Tout au long de son œuvre, Sándor Ferenczi s'intéresse à la dimension du corps dans l'expérience psychanalytique, en l'encadrant principalement du point de vue de l'expression. Cet article présente une lecture, basée sur sa théorie, de la constitution de multiples modes d'expression. Pour cela, nous proposons six idées organisées en deux séries parallèles et complémentaires : la première implique les notions d'omnipotence, de catastrophe et de régression ; la seconde regroupe les idées de condition, d'adaptation et de complexification.

Resumen A lo largo de su obra, Sándor Ferenczi trata de la dimensión del cuerpo en la experiencia psicoanalítica, concibiéndola predominantemente desde el punto de vista de la expresión. Este trabajo presenta una lectura, basada en su teoría, sobre la constitución de múltiples modos de expresión. Para ello, proponemos seis ideas organizadas en dos series paralelas y complementarias: la primera involucra las nociones de omnipotencia, catástrofe y regresión; la segunda agrupa las ideas de condición, adaptación y complejización.

Countertransference Madness: Supervision, Trans∗, and the Sexual.

Drawing on Ferenczi's "confusion of tongues" paradigm, the author argues that the internalization of the supervisor's superego has the potential not only to expand the supervisee's ego (introjection), but also to repress their idiosyncratic functions and attack their thinking activity (intropression). To illustrate this argument, the author recounts his own supervised treatment of a transgender patient during which the supervisor-supervisee transference lapsed into a sadomasochistic dialectic and a folie à deux, leading to the premature termination of both the therapy and the supervision. While the initial interpretation of this experience underscored the supervisor's transphobia, the après-coup of writing up the case has revealed more complex thinking. Accordingly, the countertransference madness to which the author succumbed with his supervisor can now be understood as the unbinding of repressed infantile sexuality and the reenactment of paradoxical scenarios that the patient experienced with his parents.

Experimentation and prudence in Sándor Ferenczi’s clinic / Experimentação e prudência na clínica de Sándor Ferenczi / Experimentación y prudencia en la clínica de Sándor Ferenczi

Known as the enfant terrible of psychoanalysis for the constant experimentations in his clinical work, Ferenczi did not fail to be rigorous in the creation of technical concepts that sought to improve and expand the therapeutic capacity of psychoanalytic interventions. Taking the concepts of experimentation and prudence in the light of the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari as a guiding reference, this article aims to show in what sense the daring of Ferenczi's clinic did not mean, at any time of its production, theoretical carelessness or irresponsible unconcern towards his patients. On the contrary, it was, above all, in his case, an immense creative capacity always placed at the service of reducing subjective suffering of those who sought him for analysis.

Conhecido como enfant terrible da psicanálise pelas constantes experimentações no seu trabalho clínico, Ferenczi nem por isso deixou de ser rigoroso na criação de conceitos técnicos que buscaram aperfeiçoar e ampliar a capacidade terapêutica das intervenções psicanalíticas. Tomando os conceitos de experimentação e prudência à luz da filosofia de Deleuze e Guattari como referência balizadora, o presente artigo objetiva mostrar em que sentido a ousadia da clínica ferencziana não significou, em nenhum momento de sua produção, descuido teórico ou despreocupação irresponsável para com seus pacientes. Muito pelo contrário, tratava-se, antes de tudo, em seu caso, de uma imensa capacidade criativa colocada sempre a serviço da redução do sofrimento subjetivo daqueles que o procuravam para uma análise.

Conocido como el enfant terrible del psicoanálisis por las constantes experimentaciones en su trabajo clínico, Ferenczi no ha desistido de ser riguroso en la creación de conceptos técnicos que buscaban mejorar y ampliar la capacidad terapéutica de las intervenciones psicoanalíticas. Tomando los conceptos de experimentación y prudencia a la luz de la filosofía de Deleuze y Guattari como referencia, este artículo pretende mostrar en qué sentido la osadía de la clínica ferencziana no significaba, en ningún momento de su producción, descuido teórico o despreocupación irresponsable hacia sus pacientes. Por el contrario, fue, sobre todo, en su caso, una inmensa capacidad creativa siempre puesta al servicio de reducir el sufrimiento subjetivo de quienes lo buscaban para un análisis.

"A Dress of Fire": Reading Sándor Ferenczi's Clinical Diary.

Ferenczi's Clinical Diary reveals an exceptional analyst who honestly and bravely documented radical clinical experiences and theoretical insights about the tragic impacts of trauma. The author follows Ferenczi's thinking from his falling out with Freud and his view of the classical psychoanalyst's objectivity and emotional detachment as triggers of the original trauma, through the use of the countertransference to lay bare trauma, eventually issuing in his radical experiment in mutual analysis. The Diary's fate in the history of psychoanalysis reflects that of its thinking on trauma: Beginning with Ferenczi's decades-long silencing and exclusion from the main psychoanalytic community, together with the silencing of actual trauma, this history evolved into the revival and dissemination of Ferenczi's thinking and the reappraisal of the role of actual trauma.

Ferenczi: Por uma multiplicidade de modos de expressão / Ferenczi: For a multiplicity of modes of expression / Ferenczi: Por una multiplicidad de modos de expresión

O psicanalista húngaro Sándor Ferenczi (1873-1933) desenvolveu, ao longo de sua obra, concepções originais sobre o corpo, e delas podemos inferir uma teoria da expressão. Este artigo pretende se debruçar sobre esse aspecto de sua teoria, trabalhando com dois pontos. Em primeiro lugar, descrever as diferentes formas de expressão concebidas por Ferenczi. Em segundo lugar, apresentar algumas características e consequências do seu modelo dos diferentes modos de expressão, notadamente, o respeito pela multiplicidade das formas de expressão, considerando cada uma em sua diferença e singularidade, não obstante entendendo-as como tendo uma origem comum, o corpo. Esse posicionamento leva a uma problematização do lugar hegemônico conferido à linguagem no discurso psicanalítico, bem como do espaço relegado ao corpo na experiência psicanalítica.

The Hungarian psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi (1873-1933) developed, throughout his work, original conceptions about the body, and from them we can infer a theory of expression. This article intends to address this aspect of his theory, working with two points. First, to describe the different forms or modes of expression conceived by Ferenczi. Secondly, to present some characteristics and consequences of his model of the different modes of expression, notably, his respect for the multiplicity of forms of expression, considering each one in its difference and uniqueness, despite understanding them as having a common origin, the body. This position leads to a problematization of the hegemonic place given to language in psychoanalytic discourse, as well as the space relegated to the body in psychoanalytic experience.

A falha básica: alguns aspectos sobre a teoria da técnica em Michael Balint / La falla básica: algunos aspectos de la teoría de la técnica en Michael Balint

O artigo aborda alguns pontos teóricos sobre a técnica, pontos estes relacionados aos pacientes que funcionam de forma ao nível da falha básica, como descreve o psicanalista Michael Balint. O objetivo é trazer reflexões para o atendimento dos pacientes que apresentam quadros regressivos, no sentido de permitir a vivência do novo começo. O texto discute algumas ideias da teoria balintiana sobre a questão da regressão em psicanálise (Au)

The article addresses some theoretical points about the technique related to patients who function more at the level of basic failure, as described by psychoanalyst Michael Balint. The objective is to bring reflections for the care of patients who present regressive conditions in order to allow the experience of the new beginning. The text discusses some ideas of the Balintian theory on the issue of regression in psychoanalysis.

El texto analiza algunas ideas de la teoría balintiana sobre el tema de la regresión en psicoanálisis

Trauma, subjectivity and subjectality.

Taking a critical stand on contemporary trends in psychoanalysis regarding trauma, the author addresses the problem of psychic trauma mainly in terms of how it affects the patient's status as a subject. After reexamining the notions of subject and subjectivity, the author illustrates the usefulness of the notion of "subjectality," defined as a critical moment of subjectivity, necessary for processing the consequences of trauma. A clinical illustration is provided.
