SARTI, Renata. How to talk about our patients? Elaborations: written communication on our psychoanalytic experiences. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2012, vol.46, n.4, pp. 163-172. ISSN 0486-641X.

Among the various necessary practices for the constant training of a psychoanalyst, I present elaborations on how to talk about patients, especially through written language. Taking into account that written language is characterized by immobility, it implies many risks, such as rigidity, a classification of the experience, and a poor description of it. The importance of communicating our analytical experiences, of understanding archaic aspects and underlying dimensions of the mind, indicate complex limits in reaching such specificities of Psychoanalysis, without resorting, on one hand, to strict scientific language, and on the other hand, to the trivialization of language. Based on my experience in writing about an analytical relationship, I formulate questions and discuss ways to lessen the distance between what has been experienced and what has been described in writing. I believe psychoanalysts must develop their own unique and creative language at every moment of an analytical experience and the ways of communicating it, summed with the importance of theoretical supports.

Palabras clave : written communication; analytic experience; psychic dimensions.
