ABSTRACT
The Uruguayan Psychoanalytical Association and its training institute were founded in 1955. In 2003 the Uruguayan Ministry of Education officially recognised the Institute as a Graduate Institute, its curriculum as equivalent to that of a Master’s programme in psychoanalysis, and the Associate Member Paper as tantamount to a Master’s thesis. The selection of the clinical material for their papers gave rise to questions and concerns among participants. Concerns referred mainly to changes achieved in the analysis, the nature of these changes, and whether or not this process could be considered psychoanalysis. Consequently, narcissistic aspects of institutional belonging and psychoanalytic identity shifted to the background. The chapter reviews an experience of partial application of the three-level model in the field of psychoanalytic training. The three levels are the phenomenological level of the session, the level of dimensions of change, and the level of explanatory hypotheses.
