IFPS-Is there a Difference?
(1999)
This paper tries to answer a question about the difference between IFPS and other psychoanalytical institutions. The author states that there is a linkage between the ethics of psychoanalysis and the ethics of the institution. The ethics can not be represented by rules or standards of prerequisites, but by creating a space where the unconscious as desire, singularity and difference takes place. The bureaucratic organization and the hierarchy in the categories of members of IPA institutions goes straight against the transgressor experience of the unconscious. The training analysis under such conditions leads to an identification process with the training analyst, giving as final result standardized, homogeneous, obedient analysts. The author describes a new experience in the training of analysts in his institution without any kind of interference from IFPS. Finally, he concludes that differences exists between the two institutions and that they are mainly due to the identification process typical for IPA and the process of ''choice'' in IFPS.
Intelligenza emotiva e cervello emotivo: punti di convergenza e implicazioni per la psicoanalisi
(1999)
The author looks into the issue of interpretation and traces its evolution both from mere opinion, and from the point of view of the historical development of hermeneutics. In supervision interpretive dissonance may occur at several levels starting with the patient himself as well as his >gatekeepers<, and going up to the supervisor. The relationship between interpretation and supervision is examined in this context, taking into consideration the subjective and intersubjective levels of scientific inquiry. Supervision enhances the complexity of interpretation by introducing yet a third subjectivity that questions the supervisee's interpretation. This has advantages and shortcomings, as supervisors are not always aware that it is ultimately in the supervisee-patient situation where hypotheses are tested and confirmed. Theory alone cannot supersede the intersubjective situation. It is pointed out that psychoanalytic curricula should be reexamined in order to include semiotic science and its application to interpretation and supervision.

Since its formulation by Bleuler in 1911, the generalisation of the term >autism<, mainly due to its use by Kanner in 1943 and its remake by authors of Kleinian inspiration, implies problems which mislead us, blurring our perception and understanding of clinical realities. Our psychoanalytical possibilities can be enlarged by a clear knowledge of the history of psychoanalysis, a dynamic approach to psychiatric classification and to problems related to our conception of the setting. On the basis of a case history the author shows how a child and its family worked through major autistic symptoms and proposes new approaches to some psychoanalytical concepts.
This article, which analyses a crime that took place in the city of Brasilia in 1997, is based on two separate and correlated hypotheses. Firstly, this crime reveals a fact about psychic structure: the >real< dimension irrupts through acts. Therefore, psychoanalytical practice must contemplate the >real< dimension. Secondly, we would like to pose two questions. Is it necessary for today's psychoanalysts to be aware of and involved with contemporary events? If the analyst ignores modern dialectics, what kind of symbolic involvement can he establish with the lives of the people he analyzes? Being committed to contemporary symbolic culture signifies that we must relinquish the comfortable division between good and evil. Acts of violence, performed by human beings, necessarily indicate both >enjoyment< and >truth<. In the symbolic dimension, we understand and comprehend; in the symbolic dimension, we are reasonable. But, not all acts fall within this pacifying register. If we consider these two aspects: on one hand, the analyst's responsibility to the patient, in regard to symbolic commitment and, on the other hand, the irruption of violent and senseless acts, this would mean that as analysts, we find ourselves lacking a certain neutrality, contrary to the position defended by some analysts.
