ABSTRACT
The ego that comes onto the stage of images, which enters into their drama, is the only one that has the responsibility to intervene in them: precisely because it is there and part of the imaginal scene. This differentiation of the ego complex, whether it is made manifest in the course of an active imagination or, on an everyday level, as ‘dream ego’, is not an artifact. The analysis can be regarded as an event, and at the same time as imagination of this event, as the crucible that permits a life to be turned into an account, a story. A process that leads to the opening of psychic space and permits imaginal action in its various moments; and in particular makes it possible to discern the configurations of transference, and thus fosters an emancipation from the innate compulsions to transference.
