MENEZES, Luís Carlos. The times of the après-coup. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2009, vol.32, n.49, pp.165-169. ISSN 0101-3106.

Based on the reports of J. André and B. Chervet discussed at the 69^th Congress of French-Speaking Psychoanalysts, the author argues - both at the clinical and the metapsychological levels - in favor of the convenience of maintaining a metapsychological flexibility when considering borderline cases, so as not to overemphasize the differences between the clinical approach to such cases and the so-called classical approach for neurotic patients. He points to conditions of neurotic patients in which situations overlap and are dealt with based on the secondary repression theory and severe destructuration situations, even if occasional, which come close to a borderline functioning. The analysis of such a kind of functioning includes ambiguous transferential moments involving primitive ego difficulties and Oedipian pulsion manifestations.
