Abstract

KUPERMANN, Daniel. Ferenczi and the objectives of psychoanalytic treatment: authenticity, neocatharsis, childishness. Estilos clin. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp. 182-194. ISSN 1415-7128.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v24i2p182-194.

We start from Sándor Ferenczi's formulation that the end of the analysis would consist in overcoming the "lie" on the analyzand's part, indicating this is the symptomatic response to the "disavowal" (Verleugnung) suffered in the traumatic situation. In this sense, the path of an analysis would imply: overcoming the "identification with the aggressor" deriving from the traumatic experiences, providing the gesture inspired in its authenticity to the analyzand; the "neocatharsis" needed for the subject to work through the narcissistic cleavage, getting rid of the incorporated objects; and the "childishness", in the form of the rescue of the evocative word typical of children's affective language.

Keywords : Sándor Ferenczi, 1873-1933; psychic trauma; disavowal; neocatharsis; authenticit.
