What Is It About?
註釋The title of this book, What is it about, asks about the therapeutic factor of psychoanalysis. It is a question that calls into question the psychoanalytic clinical work and, therefore, why and how an analysis treatment “cures”. The reason for addressing this issue is based on the fact that the issue is still valid, despite the large number of conceptual developments that come from the different schools of psychoanalysis. That is why the subtitle of the book clearly indicates that the author's intention is to give a possible answer to the question. Thus, in the first part of the book, a graphic sequence is presented that offers a panoramic vision of psychic devices, just as the authors of the different schools have modeled them. In the second part, the book deals with specific clinical issues: how the material appears in an individual session, exemplifications of dreams and two clinical cases: the patients Leandro and Hernán. Then he dedicates himself to the couples clinic through two examples: Estela and Juan, and Jazmín and Roberto. In chapter 6, and based on what has already been exposed, the author gives a possible answer to the question. Part of postulating that, from his perspective, the session material rotates. Sometimes the analysts will embody the patient in session, and other times the significant others. A "doing different from the analyst", by embodying the patient in the transference scene, will allow promoting the disidentification of the significant other, who is part of the insistent scene and continues to maintain psychic validity. This disidentification will imply that the repetitive scene collapses, and with it that the psychic change comes. That is what it is about, for the author, "healing" with psychoanalysis.
