Abstract

GHELLER, Julio Hirschhorn. Psychoanalyst's dilemmas. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.3, pp. 45-59. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author writes about some impactive situations, by using clinical vignettes that happened throughout a long period of time. In the early examples, the psychoanalyst found difficulties in upholding his psychoanalytic position because some narcissistic aspects had not been explored enough in his own analysis. As time has gone by and those narcissistic traits have been elaborated, the analyst has developed tolerance and repairing ability, which have enabled him to receive patients' anguishes and projections, so that he has been working as a container that processes emotions.

Keywords : container-contents; narcissistic injury; narcissistic rage; repair; tolerance.
