ABSTRACT

Two members of the Argentine Psychoanalytic Society (SAP), Dr Adela Leibovich de Duarte, and Liliana Fudin de Winograd, who are familiar with the three-level model for observing patient transformations, thought it would be useful to conduct a workshop. SAP’s psychoanalytic training project states that psychoanalytic training must take into account the general difficulties posed by any training process as well as some that are specific to psychoanalytic training. “Referenced clinical practice” constitutes a critical aspect of candidates’ training. Referenced clinical practice constitutes the focal point that articulates most of SAP’s training seminars. The basic idea is to promote and solidify an itinerary that goes from clinical practice to theory. Clinical materials discussed with candidates come from different sources. They are drawn from classic cases, or taken from SAP’s clinical discussion sessions or scientific presentations. The goal of this work is to analyse the observational and narrative dimensions, the inference process, the analyst’s interventions, and the explanatory and contextual dimensions.
