ABSTRACT

The countless techniques of re-memonzation that have been developed during the history of mankind are evidence of the attempt not so much to understand the unconscious but, rather, to overcome this difficulty using a technique, without paying attention to the unconscious. The psychoanalytic method of free associations is constructed with the aim of trying to put the activities of the conscious system to the side as much as possible and to allow this system to tolerate the observation of what and how something is stimulated. Today, the accent is frequently placed on the difficulties of transference, which are certainly important rather than on the difficulty of understanding the unconscious. Transference is much more difficult to tolerate precisely because it is a form of unconscious being. It is only within this form of being that unconscious conflicts can be reproduced in their current form, and which have to be questioned without being sent to the underworld because we would be afraid.
