Abstract

MION, Carmen C.. Some reflections on the clinical practice and the analytical education. J. psicanal. [online]. 2014, vol.47, n.86, pp. 103-111. ISSN 0103-5835.

The author reflects on psychoanalysis' vocation to contain paradoxes since its origin as a transitional area of knowledge between science and art, and the consequences and repercussions of it on analytic training. The "impossible function" proposed by the Institutes is to support an education able to transit between a knowledge referring to the field of science, meaning that it can be objectively evaluated and presents well-defined and communicable methods and theories; and another knowledge referring to the field of arts, which involves creativity, psychoanalytic insight, a personal transformation that transcends theory and technique, an aesthetic experience. Considering the complexity of this task, some questions that inevitably pervade our Institutes, year after year, regardless of the rules and guidelines contained in our three models, are raised.

Keywords : analytical education; transmission of knowledge; passion; training analysis.
