Abstract

LUCCHINI, Olívia. The pregnant psychoanalyst and the transference paradox. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.3, pp. 139-154. ISSN 0486-641X.

Based on two clinical reports that go back to the time when the analyst was pregnant, this article deals with the paradox of transference: the requirement to use the analyst's unconscious and the need to maintain her abstinent position. Would the presence of her body be an obstacle to the setting or, on the contrary, would it open space to think about it as a live and creative act? Our hypothesis is that this experience reveals that the analyst, unable to walk away, could function as day´s residues for the patient's dream in session.

Keywords : pregnant analyst; transference; analyst's body; abstinence.
