Countertransference and treatment in the face of psychotic-like symptoms in the clinic of adult psychoses - Reception and therapeutic proposal -

When I was a teenager I used to use what was then called a transfer (transfer paper) which allowed you to print a pattern, text or image on paper that you then wanted to transfer onto a garment. Depending on the fabrics used, the ink, the application time, etc. the result was not always the same. In addition, you had to think about the text, if there was any, because by printing it in a way that could be read, it would end up upside down on the final support. The technique to use was then to use mirror printing so that the text could be found on the support while still being readable. Where would the counter-transference be located in this situation? Could it be the mirrored pattern on the transfer paper? Perhaps in the example I cite, it is the pictorial representation in the psyche of the subject who comes to use the transferential material that represents the transfer. That is to say the transfer paper which will then be applied to the garment. If I use this example it is because in my singularity it is one of the memories which comes to mind when evoking the transfer in psychoanalysis. For the rest of this presentation I will use the term analyst to speak of the psychologist referred to the analyst. It seems to me that this is the position which I try to occupy despite the fact that my personal analysis is only at its beginning. I will thus use the term analysand to speak of the patient, of the one who comes to consult the psychologist with a desire to analyze what is happening to him. When one is in a situation of psychotherapy referred to psychoanalysis, the analyst will himself be subjected to movements which emerge from the very transfer of the analysand onto the analyst. Failing this the analyst will create representations in relation to what the subject comes to present to him as material. It is therefore with his singularity, his experience that he will make links with what the subject brings in therapy. For Rolland it is: "the operation by which the subject reflects himself in the Nebenmensch, thus acquiring the faculty of discovering himself (or reading himself) in this reflection, and by which the differentiation of a substance of the self is inaugurated, from the substance of the other." If it is a reflection of the subject in the psyche of a Nebenmensch, the man next door, can we speak of the discourse of one unconscious to the other? In the situation of analysis, the notion of transference comes to state that, in the encounter with the analyst, the analysand transfers his first object relationship, onto the relationship that he will establish with the analyst. The notion of counter-transference then comes to be signaled in the analyst in echo to the transference experienced by the analysand. Several theories have been posed on these notions of countertransference. By using the term Nebenmensch and by describing the transference situation as the reflection of the subject in the psychic space of the other that is offered to him. I try to link this situation of analysis to that where the baby recognizes himself in the reflection of what he observes in his mother. This first experience will allow, for the subject in the making, both to unify his body image and to differentiate it from that of his first Other, the mother. The issue of transference then seems to me to be posed in terms of a possible regression for the analysand by means of a reflection that he would observe in the analyst in the situation of analysis. What about the analyst's capacity to support his own countertransference movements induced by the patient's transference? Some authors seem to say that the analyst must be as neutral as possible and that he must try to control his countertransference. This is also the idea I shared at the beginning of my psychology studies, thinking that it would be easier to work in analysis. In fact, with the few interviews I was able to conduct, as well as the beginning of an analysis, I
