Authoritativeness and Responsibility in the Analytic Exploratory Process Discussion of Elisa’s Case

, Ph.D.
Pages 87-90 | Published online: 17 Feb 2016
 

Abstract

Following the clinical exploratory process of Francesca Colzani’s case, this discussion emphasizes how the authoritativeness of the analysts’ contribution has to do with her/his responsibility for a self-reflexive attitude. We do not speak of power as much as of the possibility for and openness to change, which is stimulated by both of the subjectivities that are brought into play. The paper underlines the dialogue between poetic meaning and analytic meaning suggesting an innovative bidirectionality: from poetic language to the analytic process, but also from the analytic process to poetic language.
