ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on to the theoretical and clinical model of the dynamic field of psychoanalysis, created by Madeleine Baranger and Willy Baranger in 1961–62. It also focuses on the concept of unconscious which derives from model and which differs from the traditional model. In 1969, W. Baranger published “Contradictions between the analytical theory and technique” where he substantially modified the definition of the dynamic field by introducing a new dimension. The dynamic field tends towards mobility and diversity; this explains why discourse changes provide the most tangible evaluation of the effects of analysis. Thus, the dynamic field keeps spreading in time and space. The chapter considers the concept of the dynamic field of psychoanalysis presented by M. and W. Baranger in 1962 a turning point in the theories of the unconscious because they conceived that the unconscious of the field is neither the patient’s nor the analyst’s but the session’s which includes both.
