T1 - The Analyst's Participation in the Process JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Oslo (Scandinavian University Press) Vol. 11 (No. . 4, December 2002), pp. 279-285. N2 - Using a clinical vignette, in which self-disclosure appears as a starting point, the authors investigate the connection between method and techniques. As the recent literature on the subject generally maintains, the classical analysts' neutral position can no longer be accepted. Analysts are always fully engaged in the intersubjective relationship and pass their values on to their patients through their professional roles – which can be understood as self-disclosure in a wider meaning. However, self-disclosure, and in more general terms the analyst's participation in the process, need technical criteria of reference. By deepening the relationship between method and techniques, established by Rapaport, the authors maintain that method is determined by theory and in turn gives meaning to techniques. As a consequence, techniques play a minor role with regard to theory and method. The opening of psychoanalysis to the relational perspective is bringing about the decrease of technique as an absolute value in favour of a greater self-awareness of the analyst who, following the method related to his/her theory will be able to better cope with techniques. Y1 - 2002 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Tricoli, M. L. T1 - A Contribution to the Settlement of the Historical Antinomy between Conflict and Defects in the Self JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Oslo (Scandinavian University Press) Vol. 8 (No. 1, April 1999), pp. 33-40. N2 - Inquiring about the origin of mental distress from a relational point of view, the author focuses on the debate between conflict and structural defects, in order to overcome the dichotomy between the two different perspectives. According to the doctrine of defects in the self, which is based on certain Object Relations Theories, pathology is caused by faulty or inadequate caregivers. The doctrine seems too simplistic, because the child is thought of as completely passive. According to the relational viewpoint in psychoanalysis, the development of the subject takes place in a mutual conditioning process between the subject and the environment, which has to be better conceptualised. Defects in the interactive relationships with the primary caregivers, viewed as a failure in the relationship, create in the child a decompensation, which makes it withdraw from the relationship. In order to open itself to the relationship again, as a primal objectual need, the child builds up a pattern of response, which allows it to negotiate it again. Making use of the research on the first phases of development of R. Emde (psychoanalytic trend), C. Trevarthen (interactive-cognitive trend) and K. Kaye (child psychology), the author argues that the adherence to the structured response pattern leads to a conflict between the structured self image and any other potential different way of seeing oneself. Through a clinical vignette the author will demonstrate how this may lead to a non-cohesiveness of the self, viewed as an inactivation of the subject's developmental possibilities.
