Abstract

LABAKI, Maria Elisa Pessoa. Hypocrisy and trauma: elaborations for a metapsychology of Ferenczi's technique. J. psicanal. [online]. 2014, vol.47, n.87, pp.179-194. ISSN 0103-5835.

This article compares Freud's and Ferenczi's approach to the technique, questioning the concept of trauma and the nature of the analyst's relationship with the patient. The author's hypothesis is that the clinical method based on the theory of repressed sexuality has disarticulated from the framing of the object. This disarticulation has caused in France and its satellites the repression of countertransferential elements and the live presence of the psychoanalyst (as well as his own body); a denial of the relational dimension of the analytic process, which was circumscribed to an exclusive experience of the patient's interiority; and a conception of transference reduced to the dimension of the repetition. The article shows how Ferenczi restored the need to observe the analyst's presence and his countertransference as constituting elements of the psychoanalytic process committed to favouring more transferences inducing transformations than repetitions.

Keywords : Ferenczi; Freud; trauma; repetition; transformation.
