Abstract

AUGUSTO D'ABREU, Aloysio. Training analysis: an unsolved issue?. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.3, pp. 41-50. ISSN 0486-641X.

Initially there is an attempt to characterize psychoanalysis, defined and presented with different goals, which are coherent and up to an extent, complementary. The hazard of these being solely taken is pointed out. Training analysis’ peculiar aspects are discussed, such as: its regulation, the analyst’s relationship in the society he belongs to and its training function. Motivations that might lead to the seeking of training analysis are also at the core of considerations. A division into two different psychoanalysis is discussed- a special one, for candidates, and a normal one, for patients-, as well as the division between two classes of analysts. The existence of a group of analysts considered as an elite enables them the right to dictate rules and regulations, excluding the institution’s democratic participation as a whole. The author concludes by stating that, if the analysis of those who wish to become psychoanalysts is an essential part of their training, there is no way of escaping an analysis whether it is named as training analysis or not. However it is necessary to reformulate the criteria involving candidates’ analysis.
