PSYKOANALYSENS OVERFØRING: BEVÆGELSEN MOD ET DIALOGISK PARADIGME

Abstract

Already Freud was attentive to the interpersonal dynamics of psychoanalysis - that treatment takes place on an actual scene and in an actual relationship. He was attentive too to the narrative dimensions of psychoanalysis, although in another shape than the one we can meet in Donald P. Spence. But where freudian psychoanalysis was concerned
especially about the repressed story of the past, modern psychoanalysis works increasingly with object relations in a present context: in the actual dialogic relationship between analysand and analyst. Therefore also the understanding of transference has changed. In modern psychoanalysis transference is primarly valuable because it can effect a reorganization of the intrapsychic and interpersonel conditions of the analysand. Later psychoanalysis (Hans W. Loewald and André Green, and more lately Merton M. Gill), can be seen as a development of an insight that Freud himself did not make much use of. Loewald and Green make use of D.W. Winnicott in an extended understanding of Freud’s notion of transference as a »Zwischenreich« and points to a dialogic paradigm that seems to correspond to Arnold Coopers modernistic view on transference.
