The clinical revolution of the ‘wise baby’

Pages 14-19 | Published online: 05 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

In an historical context focused on a close examination of the complex relationship between Freud and Ferenczi, the author shows Ferenczi's contribution to the evolution of psychoanalysis. He describes how his ideas and his therapeutic sensitivity anticipated modern clinical thought (for example, Winnicott and Bion), especially the understanding of borderline and narcissistic pathology. The paper considers the following topics: transference and countertransference; early affectivity; the different psychic trauma; phenomena connected with dissociation; the healing factor of the analysis.

Acknowledgements

For Judith Vida, Katherine Schwarzenbach, Nancy Smith and the Ferenczi Studies Group in Los Angeles, the author wants to express his gratitude for their always generous hospitality and exciting exchanges.
