Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytical Field: the experience of alterity
Abstract
Freud postulated that going through “an experience of the unconscious” is the only possible way of becoming an analyst.
Psychoanalysis is a method, an asymmetric device that carries in its core the seed of the interplay of relationships of which this experience consists. It is a novel form of social link that promotes tan experience of radical alterity.
The countertransference and the topic of the person and the presence of the analyst are discussed together with the notion of position in the device and the “desire of the analyst” as en engine for the cure .
An interpretation is accurate when it produces effects , has con-sequences , re-launches the process.
The experience is extreme and interior, can not be authorized by any previous knowledge since all knowledge has been questioned , and becomes primordial , its creator. The result that arises from this is that the analyst is only authorized by him/herself , that is: because of the experience of alterity in which he /she is constituted as such.
