ABSTRACT
I would like to refer to the Grid as an instrument designed to help us in the development of our thought. Even though it is based on theories, it is not a theory itself. Indeed, it would be better described as a set of rules when working on something written. It is nothing else but a useful tool. Nevertheless, as I have drawn it, the Grid is incomplete, and if somebody found it useful they should try to enhance its usefulness on the basis of their own specific clinical experience. Yet, I find it important to highlight that, in the course of your work, you must never let thoughts of the Grid draw you from your task. To my mind, it is more useful before or after fulfilling a task, like, for example, on this occasion, because it can help us shed light on our own ideas. Indeed, I feel it is especially useful when an analyst is working on his own, without anybody to make critical remarks on his work, so that he is thus forced to be his own supervisor.
