ALVIM, António. To dare or not to dare dreaming: Questions about terror in the psychoanalytical field. Reverso [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.72, pp.15-22. ISSN 0102-7395.
From a field’s perspective in psychoanalysis, the presence of terror in the analytical encounter should be faced as a product of both parties’ interaction on a stage in which their mutual projective identifications interplay in such a way that it is difficult to say precisely who the terrorist is and who is the terrorized. At different levels of experience and by different ways of expression, both patient and analyst will be facing the unknown of terrifying emotional experiences about their potentially catastrophic encounter; both having to decide either to evade it, giving way to terror, or daring to transform it telling the story. A clinical vignette will be presented as an illustration of the process of working through his position in the field both as terrorized and as a terrorist, enabling the field’s capacity to transform terrifying experiences in useful narratives for thinking.
