SILVA, Mariangela Carvalho Canellas. Developing a psychoanalytic listening. J. psicanal. [online]. 2016, vol.49, n.91, pp. 145-155. ISSN 0103-5835.

Using a clinical vignette, the author attempts to demonstrate the importance of developing a psychoanalytic listening, which is the most important part of the psychoanalytic training and enables the analyst to build clinical reasoning. It is the lack of an attuned listening what prevents listening to the unconscious in a receptive way. However, when this listening is hindered, it may often lead to ruptures in the psychoanalytic process. It is not enough for the analyst to be just a content who doesn't discern what the patient tells him, what makes the patient a hostage, what is being transferred and "put in motion" by the patient in the analytic scene. That is, the complexity of this path demands an analyst's sensitivity to recognize places he was invested with by the patient in order to enable the transference to be elaborated. Nonetheless, the psychoanalytic process (and result) will also depend on analysand's resources when considering analyst's interpretations. Psychoanalytic training is the development of listening that happens by spreading a theory during the personal analysis of the psychoanalyst, his work of analyzing, and in the supervision aid.
