KLAUTAU, Perla  and  WINOGRAD, Monah. Psychoanalytic approach to neurological illness experience: the work of construction on countertransference. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.1, pp.57-71. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2012v18n1p57.

The psychoanalytic treatment of neurological patients presents specific techniques with regard to the procedures and types of intervention. Due to the cognitive impairments of these patients, one of the major tasks of the analyst is to construct, with the patient, a transferencial-countertransferencial field that privileges the affective communication as a clinical tool, allowing the updating of previous questions and the addressing of others emerging with and after the illness. Our goal is to investigate the importance of the construction work carried out from the countertransference. To do so, after investigating the concepts of construction and countertransference, we will use parts of a clinical case in order to make considerations about the ways in which the analyst´s presence is required in this kind of clinical practice

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Neurological patients; Counter transference; Constructions in analysis.
