ALTMAN, Miriam. Ivy: creating an internal support. J. psicanal. [online]. 2017, vol.50, n.93, pp. 135-148. ISSN 0103-5835.

In a theatrical format, this paper presents a patient who has had almost no recognition nor appreciation since her childhood. Significant issues in the narcissistic area and consequent defenses have arisen from this situation. The author's purpose is to show, through a clinical vignette, the psychoanalytic path towards achieving integration and continence. The analyst notices, when she listens to the patient talk about her dreams, a lack of connection between the person who tells the dream and the person who dreams the dream. This person is unable to experience her emotions, despite the oneiric richness of her dreams. The author is intrigued by this other self which emerges from these stunning, night dreams. This paper reveals the importance of psychoanalytic listening for a less symbolic language and therefore lack of representation. Based on authors such as Freud, Bion, Ogden, and Winnicott, the author deals with the concept of the "unrepresentable".

Palavras-chave : dream; narcissism; continence; sadistic super ego; the unrepresentable.
