ABSTRACT
The attempt to try to extirpate vertex or the other would develop a mental disturbance and an impossibility of the development and creative growth, just like the account of actress Fernanda Montenegro puts in evidence. The interviewer comments that there seems to be a large duality between Arlete – Montenegro’s given name which seems to exist only inside her dwelling practically unknown and inaccessible to the public – and Fernanda, her stage name and that of her public figure. In “Attention and Interpretation”, Wilfred Bion writes: Receptiveness achieved by denudation of memory and desire is essential to the operation of psycho-analysis and other scientific proceedings. It is essential for experiencing hallucination or the state of hallucinosis. The contact with the unknown and with the experience of hallucinosis affects the analyst with intense emotional shocks, which he needs to be able to assimilate and transform into knowledge he can communicate.
