Abstract

ROUSSILLON, René. Intersubjectivity and the messenger function of the drive.Translated byClaudia Meireles Reis. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2011, vol.45, n.3, pp.159-166. ISSN 0486-641X.

In order to support the importance of the intersubjective dimension of psychic life - an idea which integrates the existence of an unconscious dimension of subjectivity and permeates the problem of drive and of sexuality - the authorproposes a reflection upon the unquestionable messenger dimension of the drive and of its forms of representation. The concrete consequences of such a conception, as well as the pondering of transference for analytic work, are exemplified through two clinical cases.

Keywords : drive; messenger drive; intersubjectivity; representation; transference.
