The author proposes an expanded notion of the concept of Agieren, introduced by Freud in his theory of transference, and to this effect discusses three metapsychological articulations. Firstly, the idea of the psyche is proposed containing different co-existing modalities of representing emotional experience. One is a verbal inscription governed by the logic of the dynamically repressed, and another is the registration of a mode of being, in the form of sequences of psychic gestures that the subject exchanges with his objects. The author proposes that the psychic gesture is the ideopictographic representation for certain emotional states never verbally thought and, consequently, its metapsychological status is unconscious but not repressed. Secondly, these unconscious registers contain specific modalities of processing reality, created by the projective attribution of the parental unconscious. Finally, by conceiving this model of unconscious, ideopictographically represented as psychic gestures, the author proposes that a patient's emotional state, becoming a psychic gesture of the analytic pair, is enacted within the analytic stage. His proposal departs from the frequent view of enactment as a result of the non-represented aspects of the psyche. It is assumed that what is played out by the analytic pair pertains to the unconscious imaginary represented.
The author begins his paper with a historical review of the concept of the difference between generations, which is in his opinion a metaphorical transformation that underpins the three-dimensional functioning of the psychic apparatus by introducing a differentiating intergenerational space between subject and object. He postulates that at the point of intersection between the intersubjective and the intrapsychic the subject clings to the specific fragments of his parents' history that are consistent with a belief about himself and the oedipal couple in which intergenerational links are severed and infantile incestuous wishes are seen as fulfilled. Disavowal of this generation gap is considered to lead to failure of post-oedipal secondary identifications, resulting in disturbance of the triangular structuring of the mind and consequent impairment of the genesis of thought processes. These ideas are compared with related conceptions of other authors and illustrated, with an account of the associated transference/countertransference vicissitudes, by a clinical example of the constellation the author calls 'My heart belongs to daddy', which he sees as a way station in the negotiation of the female Oedipus complex.
Partendo dalla supposizione secondo la quale la nozione di regressione libidica appartiene a un modello di psichismo statico, chiuso al legame con l'altro e organizzato in maniera invariante, l'Autore considera che la comparsa dell'arcaico nella seduta psicoanalitica implichi un modello di psichismo inteso come un'Organizzazione Funzionale con differenti livelli di funzionamento e di rappresentazione simbolica. Propone l'idea di uno psichismo arcaico, concepito come inconscio non rimosso, risultato delle attribuzioni proiettive trau- matiche dell'inconscio genitoriale, che cerca espressione e rappresentazione attraverso l'agire nei diversi contesti nei quali si elabora la realtŕ psichica. L'Autore ritiene che l'idea di uno psichismo che si esprime e rappresenta attraverso la ripetizione messa in atto č la conseguenza logica di un modello di soggetto psichico aperto alla generazione di senso nel rapporto con l'altro dello spazio intersoggettivo, che ha cessato di essere un oggetto contingente. Pensa che la nozione freudiana di agieren implichi un cambiamento nella teoria dell'ascolto psicoanalitico, dato che il transfert cessa di essere soltanto lo spostamento delle rappresentazioni intrapsichiche per costituirsi come un fenomeno inter-soggettivo indissolubilmente legato al controtransfert. Č per questo che egli ritiene che il transfert, ormai legato alla posizione controtransferale inconscia, superi il modello della prima teoria delle pulsioni e della prima topica freudiana. Riflette sull'uso strumentale della regressione nel processo analitico, sostenendo che essa, accogliendo la rappresentazione scenica di una particolare configurazione arcaica intrasoggettiva dell'analizzando, iscrittasi come gesto psichico non pensato verbalmente, crei le condizioni per una nuova forma di rappresentazione, conciliabile con il pensiero verbale dell'Io, distante dalla ripetizione messa in atto e suscettibile di risignificazione infinita.
