ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that the conceptual struggle arises because of all writers are still trapped in the implicit contradictions of the classical psychoanalytic metapsychology, while explicitly they may reject this framework. Freud's formulation of two distinct systems of thought within the psychical apparatus, including a system of thought outside the verbal categorical domain, was certainly one of his most profound insights. In the context of the cognitive science of, subsymbolic processes are understood as organized, systematic, rational forms of thought that continue to develop in complexity and scope throughout life. Beginning with uncertainty and risk, analysts can try to increase the zone of the symbolic and the predictable, without losing the richness of the treatment situation. In psychoanalysis, as in tango, the subsymbolic exploration and the connection to the symbolic domain within the relationship, as well as within each participant's autobiographical memory are necessary for participants.
