Authors
The authors aim to present in the form of a dialogue between two psychoanalysts, Psi1 and Psi2, some theoretical and practical controversies encountered in Relational Psychoanalysis and, more generally, in the field of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The two clinicians discuss in depth the concept of ‘configuration’ in relational psychoanalysis, questioning its meaning and clinical application, and highlighting the complexity of the method. The debate begins with the concept of trauma and where it stands in relation to the configuration of the I-Subject. Psi1 highlights the unsaturated nature of meta-criteria, warning of theoretical self-referentiality, while Psi2 focuses on the importance of clinical practice and understanding the specificity of the patient. Through this comparison, the authors offer an open and flexible view of the clinical perspective, aiming to respect the uniqueness of each individual.
