Abstract

PEREIRA, Douglas Rodrigo  and  JUNIOR, Nelson Ernesto Coelho. An account of an uncanny experience: the emergence of hatred in the analyst. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.1, pp.49-62. ISSN 0486-641X.

A clinical situation is presented in which the analyst experienced hatred as an uncanny (Unheimliche) occurrence. We discuss how the analyst's hatred was related to a need for narcissistic protection against the danger of undifferentiation between Self and other. We conjecture that a disruption of the boundaries of Self and a feeling of automatism were the principal factors leading the analyst to experience hatred as an uncanny phenomenon.

Keywords : the uncanny (Unheimliche); hatred; narcissism; transference-countertransference.
