Abstract

PEREIRA, Priscila Frehse. Enduring hatred, enduring self-hatred: negative transference and the limits of Ferenczi's clinic approach. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.1, pp. 63-77. ISSN 0486-641X.

This article invites questioning the relationships between negative transference, limit situations, and the analyst's implication in the transference field. Beginning with a broad description of negative transference in the psychoanalytic field, the article delineates a path through Ferenczi's work, with an emphasis on the clinical issues that led him to formulate his theory of trauma and identification with the aggressor, as well as to his proposition of elasticity in the psychoanalytic technique. To illustrate the close relationship existing between theoretical construction and clinical investigation and to address the analyst's implication in the difficult task of enduring terror and hatred in transference, the case of RN (Elisabeth Severn), from Ferenczi's Clinical Journal, is revisited.

Keywords : negative transference; hatred; trauma; limit; S. Ferenczi (1873-1933); psychoanalysis.
