FIGUEIREDO, Luís Claudio. The analyzing situation and the contemporary clinical variety. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2011, vol.45, n.1, pp. 137-149. ISSN 0486-641X.

This paper is about the practice of psychoanalysis in its manifold forms. The first part is about the analyzing situation and the analytic setting: their structure and dynamism are dealt with in a panoramic and historic view. The point here is to show that the main task of the analyst should always be to establish and to maintain the analyzing situation in its most lively and dynamic form. The second part is about specific aspects of the analyzing situation under different conditions of the psychoanalytic practice, and aims to show that the managing (or holding) of the analyzing situation is, in all cases, the basic and most important aspect of all the other activities that can be used; in fact it is good managing of the analyzing situation that best reveals its therapeutic efficacy.

Keywords : analyzing situation; therapeutic action; clinical varieties.
