ABSTRACT

Analysts are traditionally very attentive – and with good reason – to the always-impending risk of an actual anti-analytic drive discharge in the session, in the direction of ‘acting out,’ rather than producing thought and causing it to be produced, and transposing unelaborated elements into words and causing them to be thus transposed (‘Vorstellungen’ [representations], ‘beta-elements,’ ‘cosomi’ [clusters of beta-elements], etc.).
