Abstract

MENEZES, Luis Carlos. Training analysis, and unending analysis?: un análisis interminable?. J. psicanal. [online]. 2008, vol.41, n.74, pp. 55-69. ISSN 0103-5835.

In this paper the author discusses the clinical problems involved in training analysis. They result from the fact that psychoanalysis, a process which implicates in one person in the analysand’s position and another in the analyst’s position, becomes complex in this situation by the fact that the patient is at the same time a student in the Institute and a postulant to become a member of the Society in which the analyst, as training analyst, occupies a well established hierarchical position. The author believes this may affect the analytic process negatively. Another factor is that at the end of analysis, they will meet each other for an undetermined space of time in the same institution - as opposed to what occurs in an analysis - and prolonged unanalyzed transferences may strongly contribute to the constitution of a network of power, marked by the abusive influence of the ex-analyst. Even if this system is maintained, the institution should interrogate itself constantly about these side effects and consider this modality of analysis in the perspective of the nature of the analytic process instead of a bureaucratic and not modulated application of regulations.

Keywords : Training analysis; Analytic education; Unending transference.
