ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the evolution of analyst clinical approach of work. It discusses the mode in which analysts thought and worked clinically right after completing their training in the London Kleinian Group. The chapter discusses the commented presentation of two clinical materials, and a commentary about some of the clinical-theoretical topics that seem to analyst to permeate the main changes in their clinical approach. It suggests that there is a discontinuity in patient’s mind, a kind of fracture that interferes in her capacity to apprehend or construct symbols for certain kinds of experiences. The chapter focuses on to the broader reflections that complement and expand upon what they touched on. It also suggests that on formulating an interpretation based on the working through of the countertransference grasped by analysts' reverie, they operate, among other processes, what linguists call the transmutation of the symbolic bases.
