Transferências produtivas e consultas terapêuticas: afeto e intensidade na experiência psicanalítica

Abstract

This paper seeks to examine the psychoanalytic experience through Winnicott s therapeutic consultations, taking into consideration their being held in Brazilian public health institutions, and aiming at a non-orthodox interpretation of the construction of the psychoanalytic device. To that effect, it firstly proposes the study of the issue of affection and intensity in the analytic experience, in light of the initial theorization about transference in Freud s work. Secondly, Ferenczi s contribution regarding the notion of touch and the intensity characteristic of his clinical conduct are discussed, giving priority to the final stages of his work, when his focus was most sharply directed to issues related to the analyst s place, to countertransferential feelings, and to the elasticity of the technique. Thirdly, a study is proposed of Winnicott s ideas about the handling and use of the object and their implications in the theorization about transference. In the end, we intend to consider the field of affectation which occurs in the psychoanalytic clinic, in light of Ferenczi s introjection concepts, the development of the senses of self and vitality affects in Stern s theory, and the relation of those concepts to some of Winnicott s postulates, in order to substantiate the possibility of productive transferences in therapeutic consultations.
