“…Se, em termos temporais, o debate sobre a contratransferência ocorreu quase que de forma simultânea entre os países de língua inglesa, o mesmo não ocorreu em solo francês. Na França, de acordo com Duparc (2001), as publicações acerca da contratransferência só começaram a aparecer a partir da década de 70, provavelmente como efeito do pensamento lacaniano. Lacan, em 1951, em seus Escritos, se posiciona de uma forma bastante veemente em relação à contratransferência.…”

“…Nesse texto, o autor utiliza-se da releitura de um importante caso clínico de Freud (o caso Dora) para destacar que a contratransferência foi responsável pelos erros técnicos efetuados por Freud na condução do tratamento de sua paciente, considerando-a um prejuízo, um constrangimento e um caso de confusão. Duparc (2001) destaca que, posteriormente em toda sua obra, Lacan se refere à contratransferência apenas de maneira irônica, usando o vocábulo em inglês The countertransference para indicar que, para ele, a contratransferência é uma invenção inglesa estranha à linguagem original da psicanálise (DUPARC, 2001).…”

“…Concernente à teoria lacaniana, Duparc (2001) aponta os principais elementos teóricos que fundamentam a decisão de Lacan em rejeitar o uso da contratransferência como instrumento clínico. Em primeiro lugar ele considera o termo contratransferência demasiado simétrico à transferência, sugerindo um vínculo imaginário entre paciente e analista e, destaca Duparc (2001), Lacan via no imaginário o protótipo de alienação do Eu. O termo contratransferência, nesse sentido, parecia encorajar um relacionamento dual entre analistas e analisantes em detrimento de um relacionamento triangular mediado pela linguagem (DUPARC, 2001).…”

A partir de um atendimento clínico no qual a contratransferência pareceu demonstrar uma faceta contraditória, levantou-se a seguinte questão: para além de resistência do analista, poderíamos compreendê-la como instrumento clínico? O artigo perfaz uma trajetória histórico-conceitual no sentido de verificar como os autores tradicionais da psicanálise trabalharam com o tema. Inicialmente, as ideias de Freud e de alguns de seus contemporâneos são apresentadas. Depreende-se que a obra freudiana permite uma dupla interpretação: como resistência, a contratransferência deve ser dominada como veículo de comunicação inconsciente e deve ser aproveitada. Ferenczi e Stern, seus contemporâneos, destacaram a existência dessas duas facetas e a possibilidade de manejos clínicos específicos. Em um segundo momento, o artigo apresenta as considerações efetuadas pela segunda geração de psicanalistas. Entre esses, pode-se verificar que autores como Reich e Lacan exacerbam o caráter negativo da contratransferência, entendendo-a exclusivamente como resistência do analista. Por seu turno, autores como Heimann e Winnicott defendem a ideia sobre a possibilidade da contratransferência ser utilizada como via de acesso ao inconsciente de seus pacientes. O presente artigo sugere que Winnicott seja o autor que sustenta a contradição presente na contratransferência de forma mais intensa e mais original. Conclui que, dada a complexidade e a importância do tema, deve-se pesquisar, futuramente, como os autores atuais estão tematizando o assunto, em termos de proposta de entendimento conceitual e de alternativas de manejo clínico.

“…In parallel to the remarks I have made so far and the emphasis I have placed on the question of the silence of French psychoanalysis with regard to projective identification, we can now consider the further question of the silence of French psychoanalysis in respect of the countertransference. F. Duparc () has published a very well‐documented historical study on this theme. He emphasizes Lacan's influence on this relative neglect: “For him silence was not a frustration but a manifestation of the psychoanalyst's presence, of his participation in a non‐verbal relationship…”.…”

“…He emphasizes Lacan's influence on this relative neglect: “For him silence was not a frustration but a manifestation of the psychoanalyst's presence, of his participation in a non‐verbal relationship…”. And he adds: “This attitude no doubt has to do with the brevity of Lacan's own analysis and his difficulty, for which there is substantial evidence, in tolerating more than a modicum of transference from his patients – a trait incidentally that he shared with Sacha Nacht” (Duparc, , p. 153).…”

Burial and resurgence of projective identification in French psychoanalysis

Curiously enough, the concept of projective identification was ignored, and even rejected in France for at least two decades after the publication of the founding texts of Melanie Klein and Herbert Rosenfeld. This rejection was due to a critique from child psychoanalysts close to Anna Freud and also from the teaching of Lacan: the first took the real mother-child relation extensively into account, while the latter only saw the internal object as a signifier. The fact that during this period the countertransference was a concept reduced to its negative content no doubt explains this deliberate ignorance. With the dissemination of a broader and more positive conception of the countertransference, a renewal of interest could be observed in the 1980s with references to empathic listening and to the effects of thought-induction.

Moved to tears: Technical considerations and dilemmas encountered in working with a 13-year-old boy with acquired quadriplegia 1

This paper is about therapeutic work with David, a 13-year-old boy who, at the age of 5, was the victim of a hit-and-run road traffic accident resulting in quadriplegia. The circumstances leading to the accident and its sequelae reveal a particularly complex picture, which combines early emotional deprivation and trauma. Although cognitively intact and able to speak, David could not move. Yet he created movement in others through a desperate necessity, by communicating via the employment of extreme projective forces. The highly complex presentation of emotional, psychic and bodily damage in the child, and in particular, David's physical paralysis, has had a profound impact upon what I have come to think of as the 'mindbody' of the therapist. Winnicott has talked of the infant's 'psyche/soma'. Here I want to extend the notion and consider the bodily impact of projections in particular and how these have a powerful emotional and physical resonance on the 'mindbody' of the therapist, especially in therapy with a young person whose body is damaged. In this paper, I consider technical challenges and dilemmas encountered in the work, including the complex interplay of transference/countertransference phenomena. This unusual presentation of a boy in extraordinary circumstances led to considerations of psychoanalytic method and interpretative activity, which may be viewed as being inspired by 'emotional truthfulness '. 2 David, now aged 13, was the victim of a hit-and-run road traffic accident at the age of 5, and was left with permanent spinal cord injury. Since then he has become wheelchair bound and his head is supported by a chin rest, with which he operates the chair. His breathing and speech are aided by a tracheostomy (an air vent in his neck) and as a result, he often requires suction. The procedure involves a transparent tube being inserted into the vent in his neck so that the mucus and saliva that have collected are sucked out. David's speech is slow and often extremely difficult to decipher. A pacemaker regulates his heart and he is catheterised, has a colostomy and is often attached to a ventilator. David's physical survival is therefore dependent upon this life-support equipment. At the JOURNAL OF CHILD PSYCHOTHERAPY time of referral, David was also being fed through a naso-gastric tube as he had been refusing to eat, determined that he wanted to die. David's refusal to eat had continued for 6 months and he was receiving medication for depression. The child psychiatrist who had been working with David for a number of years had become increasingly concerned about his state of mind and referred him for psychotherapy.Before the initial assessment session, I had been given very little information about David's history, but I was told that he had been in a road traffic accident, which had left him paralysed from the neck down. As a direct result of this and other concerns about the parents' capacity to care for and protect their children, David and his siblings were received into care where they have remained...
