Searching for a Sensitive Way of Working Through.

Searching for a Sensitive Way of Working Through. Am J Psychoanal. 2017 Jul 24;: Authors: Kupermann D Abstract This work intends to present aspects of clinical work in which the Ferenczian proposition of neo-catharsis, as re-emergence of repressed affective experience in the transference and countertransference presents itself as a challenge to the analyst, since a standard, classical technical approach results in repetition of past trauma with the analyst as perpetrator. A deviation from standard technique-free association, the principle of abstinence in transference, and interpretation-involving empathic listening, and affective sharing contains the patient's suffering. The re-emergence of suffering and terror, which represents the repressed affect associated with the traumatic past, but with a sympathetic and sensitive analyst, sharing their experience, is crucial in working through and healing.
