Abstract

This article presents interspersed fragments of a clinical case and a brief history of technical and conceptual modifications related to intersubjective phenomena in psychoanalysis. Countertransference, reverie, and the analyst’s own psychic functioning are highlighted, understanding them as important events for communication in psychoanalytical practice. To this end, the ideas of André Green, Thomas Ogden, Michel De M’Uzan and Giuseppe Civitarese are discussed, among other authors of contemporary psychoanalysis. The intrapsychic and intersubjective aspects of care connect and give voice to the psychological chimera (M’Uzan, 1978 and 1994), the analytic third (Ogden, 1994), the somatic reverie (Civitarese, 2016), and the corporeal effects of verbal and nonverbal communication (Civitarese, 2010, 2016 and Coelho Junior, 2010). The essay also seeks to understand and conceptualize the psychic paths (including the corporeal, imagery, affective, protosymbolic and symbolic levels) of the work of “digestion” and comprehension of this experience. The essay follows the complex elaboration – conscious and unconscious, verbal and nonverbal – that results in the transformation of the reverie into symbolic elements and their communication to the analysand.
