SAPISOCHIN, Gabriel. Listening to regression in the analytic process.Translated byClaudia Berliner. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2012, vol.46, n.3, pp. 90-105. ISSN 0486-641X.

Supposing that the notion of libidinal regression belongs to a model of static psychism, ending at the link with the other and organized in an invariable way, the author considers that the presentation of the archaic in the analytic session implies a model of psychism as a Functional Organization with different levels of functioning and of symbolic representation. The idea of an archaic psychism is suggested, conceptualized as a non-repressed unconscious which results from the projective-traumatic characteristics of the parental unconscious, and which seeks to represent and express itself through the placing in action in the different contexts in which psychic reality is processed. The author considers that the idea of a psychism, which manifests itself through what is repeated from the placing in dramatic action, is the consequence of a psychism open to the generation of emotional meaning in the encounter with the other of the intersubjective space, whom is no longer a contingent object. It is observed that the Freudian notion of Agieren assumes an implicit change in the theory of psychoanalytic listening, given that transference no longer is merely the dislocation of the intrapsychic representation and becomes an intersubjective phenomenon inextricably linked to countertransference. Finally, it is claimed that the instrumental use of the introduction of the archaic in the analytic process implies that the frame, by containing the scenic representation of a certain archaic intrapsychic configuration of the analysand registered as psychic-gestures-not-verbally-thought, creates the conditions for a new form of representation which is compatible with the verbal logic of the ego, far from action repetition and susceptible to being infinitely resignified.
