Abstract

HERRMANN, Fabio. Training analysis: a history made of criticism. J. psicanal. [online]. 2008, vol.41, n.74, pp. 71-111. ISSN 0103-5835.

We usually regard our theories, clinical practice and institutions as mainly or exclusively being brought up by discoveries or abstract considerations. Nevertheless, as far as the training requirements - but also dominant theories and clinical practice - are concerned, they are determined by the political interplay between psychoanalytical groups as well. Regulations concerning training analysis are particularly the conjunctural effect of complex historical trends in our international movement, rather than the sensible result of worldwide discussions on this topic. This is probably why most of the relevant papers published on this matter have an unmistakably critical tone. In this paper, the author tries to follow the main streams of this history and criticism. Within this historical framework, he tries to evaluate the central ambiguity involved in the issue of training-analysis regulations: when practical matters are discussed on an idealistic ethical basis, we usually end up by doing precisely what we criticize the most.

Keywords : Training analysis; Psychoanalytic training; Psychoanalytic movement; Transference.
