ABSTRACT

The revelation of the Unconscious can not be measured by the affirmation or disaffirmation by the subject, that is, as it were, by a ‘judgement of the judgement’. Jacques Lacan criticized not so much the appearance of it in so-called ego-analysis but rather its promotion as the instrument to reach the final goal of the treatment: in the end, and with help of the ‘sane’ part of his own ego - whatever that may be - the patient had to identify himself with the ego of his analyst. However different the Unconscious might appear after the Lacanian elaboration with the help of modern linguistics, still it remains the case that throughout Anna Freud’s works, hints at the sense of that elaboration are manifold. The psychical act Freud is talking about can be nothing but the subjective judgement throughout the Other by which the subject of the Unconscious is actually revealed or even established, by which the nonrealised is symbolised.
