OLIVEIRA, Santina Rodrigues de. Failure and death in the analytical process. Junguiana [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.2, pp.177-186.  Epub 06-Dez-2024. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v41i2.47.

This article is about the constellation of the failure complex intertwined with the archetypal theme of death in the analytical process. Through a clinical case, this article deals with some difficulties found in the transference process in psychotherapy with a borderline patient - especially the countertransference feelings of frustration, abandonment and anger related to the impotence of the analyst at the end of the session (analysis). Based on James Hillman and Rafael López-Pedraza, the author searches for elements to discuss the failure-success dyad within the epistemological grounds of psychology, so that it allows to review the limits given to such categories at the psychotherapy field and enlarge some possible meanings to the analytical failure experiences.

Palavras-chave : failure; death; transference; countertransference; borderline.
