Observations on the utility of couples therapy conducted by a psychoanalyst--transference and countertransference in resistance to analysis.

This paper explores the premise that conviction concerning the therapeutic efficacy of psychoanalysis combined with a flexible attitude toward the structure of the analytic situation and the parameters of its techniques facilitates the acceptance of psychoanalysis in suitable cases as the treatment of choice. Clinical data from therapy with couples are presented in support of this premise.

Transference and countertransference implications of psychotherapy conducted in a foreign language.

Psychotherapy possesses distinct characteristics when it is conducted in the patient's native language if this language is not also the therapist's mother tongue, a fairly common situation with immigrant patients. The choice of a native therapist, who speaks the foreign patient's mother tongue but lacks perfect command of that language, involves some specific implications, including conflicts around issues of control, regression, and separation-individuation. The author presents several clinical vignettes to demonstrate these conflicts as they are manifested in the therapeutic encounter, especially in various transferential and countertransferential phenomena. He suggests that the therapist-patient relationship in such cases has significant positive therapeutic implications that can facilitate rather than complicate treatment.

Beyond transference, countertransference, the silences and the opinion.

The author examines several works of an intersubjectivist trend, as well as writings by Hanly, Cavell and Bion, defending many of the named psychoanalysts' viewpoints. These viewpoints are expressed in the search and the struggle for truth, recognizing, like Popper, that truth exists but that we cannot know with certainty whether and when we touch upon it, only that this endless effort merits a lifetime's work because it is the attempt at an encounter with ourselves--the true encounter. The author explains the criticisms by Green of Jacobs, and defends the maintenance of 'a certain possible neutrality' (Eizirik). He poses some questions with regard to Ogden's 'third subject', considering it, among other aspects, from the supervisory point of view, which may demonstrate the existence of 'a certain possible objectivity' of the emotional conflict. He develops some criticisms concerning silence as an interpretative action by Ogden, and summarizes two case histories. Both were unconsciously attempting to manipulate the analyst intensely--one of them to get the analyst to intervene in his love life, and the other to interrupt acting out.

The autistic object: its relationship with narcissism in the transference and countertransference of neurotic and borderline patients.

In this paper we examine the relationship of the autistic object concept to narcissism, and we attempt to delimit its chronological location. Then we refer to transferential and countertransferential relationships that appear when the autistic object arises within the analysis of nonpsychotic patients. We also discuss some clinical phenomena described in other ways by different authors, with characteristics very similar to those that we have termed autistic objects. We report the case of a patient whose analysis is arrested upon the appearance of the clinical phenomenon under study. The emergence of the austistic object demanded unusual manoeuvres for its removal and subsequent resumption of the process. Analyst and patient had shared--in transferential and countertransferential ways--the autistic object put forward by the patient. The verbal discourse precluded communication instead of making it possible. We used the model of the mental kaleidoscope to explain some of the clinical phenomena described.
