Abstract

TANIS, Bernardo. Clinical thought and the contemporary analyst. J. psicanal. [online]. 2014, vol.47, n.87, pp.197-214. ISSN 0103-5835.

this work emerges from the realization in our discipline's field of the existence of a hiatus between the clinical and the theoretical. An attempt is made to characterise the idea of the clinical thought inspired by the work of André Green and other authors, as a binding thought between both. It is about creating bridges between the lived experience in the clinical and certain guiding parameters of the theoretical (or ad hoc theorizations) which do not turn an experience a mere technical application, but which on the other hand will not collapse in an idealization of the unthinking and/or acted idealization. The fertility of the notion of clinical thought in limit cases will be made explicit from a clinical account where notions such as framing, trauma, representation limit, affection-representation indiscrimination and narcissistic-identity trauma can be investigated and recognized.

Keywords : clinical thought; framing; representation limit; affection; narcissistic-identity trauma.
