To write about psychoanalysis, whatever the direction taken, always presents difficulties. As we well know, discourse never succeeds in capturing the thing is aiming at; the impossible indicates the spot of a flaw in our discourse. However, from Freud’s initial preoccupations up to the present ones – those that stimulate us psychoanalysts to carry on thinking – a huge amount of ink has flowed onto paper: Psychoanalysts who think about the theme in question, taking training this way and that; Psychoanalysts who offer, through the experience gained, new representations to carry on reflecting.
