ABSTRACT In the text Constructions in Analysis, Freud (1937/2018) states that the task of the analyst involves a construction activity, originating from the "complementation" and "integration of surviving remains" of the analysand's history. The aim of this article is to argue that, besides this 1937 model, there are also other forms of constructions in analysis, conceived from the relationship between analyst-analysand and resulting from the transference-countertransference link - constructions that generate repercussions on primary symbolization and the elaboration of new narratives about the psychic void. It is proposed that, in cases of psychic emptiness, boredom and apathy, the analyst should engage in a constructive work to revitalize the analytic scene, providing a route of symbolization of the analysand's split material and contributing to the analysis functioning as a potential space for that purpose. Such management is exemplified with a clinical case of the so-called Resignation Syndrome.

Keywords : constructions; analysis; emptiness; resignation.
