The protagonist of the contribution is the concept of implicit unconscious, a concept that means a more articulated and extended unconscious than that of classical and post-Freudian psychoanalysis. The resulting picture modifies the antithesis between the unconscious, which is the repository of dysfunctionality, and the conscious, which is the place of insight, and proposes a global space of mind that is in line with this theoretical set-up: the unconscious and the conscious are two different modes of ‘processing’ experiential data. In the field of clinical work, some hypotheses are proposed in order to read the patient’s unconscious work and identify a potential and evolutionary progressive space. The basic idea is that a conceptually transformed unconscious at the theoretical level, parallel to the clinical level, allows for a transformational and evolutionary unconscious in the patient.
