De ethische eenzaamheid van de analyticus
Julien Quackelbeen
This paper deals with the question of the meaning of technique in analytical treatment. With Freud, it is acknowledged that the term "technique" is all too often interpreted in terms of rules or instructions for the analyst in relation to good direction for the cure. In contrast, Freud underscored another dimension of technique: that of creativity, a dimension that contributes to the emergence of the subject as well as to the creation of additional degrees of freedom for its speaking; the one in which the analyst, having analysed his own freedom (or lack of it), creates the conditions wherein the subject comes to his own, truthful, speech. The tension between technique in the narrow sense, and technique in the sense of the creative manipulation of transference, is illustrated on the basis of a few clinical fragments.

In
this article das Ding is characterized as the structural a priori condition
for memory and, more broadly, for the subject and its desire. First, the
fundamentally conflicting nature of the psychical apparatus as outlined
by Freud in his Project for a scientific psychology (1950a [1895]) is
examined. The elaboration of the opposition between the primary processes
or the pleasure principle on the one hand and the secondary processes
or the reality principle on the other is of crucial importance. The ambiguity
that characterizes this opposition is related to the Freudian notion of
das Ding as the residue of the process of judgement through which a subject
tries to grasp the outside world and the Nebenmensch. Das Ding, as the
primordial outside of the subject, is then characterized, with Lacan,
as the centre around which the subjective world of the unconscious is
organised but from which it is nevertheless excluded. Finally, the implications
of this theory for the desiring subject on the one hand and for an articulation
of the ethics of psychoanalysis on the other are addressed.

Enkele bedenkingen over
urgentie, crisis en psychiatrie
Wim Galle
Some reflections on urgency, psychiatry and the position of the analyst are the main themes of this article. First of all he takes an historical detour via the figure of Giacomo Casanova. With his work Ma voisine, la postérité the author compares a medical emergency with the sort of crisis intervention inspired by psychoanalysis. In the second part of the article a crisis is viewed as a place of rime/rhyme – crisis as a frozen discourse of the subject, beyond the deceptive glitter. Concepts from Lacan's seminar on transference and from Winnicott are used to support this view. The goal of this article is to argue in favour of a place for the odd (anti-rhyme) in the work with subjects in crisis. This influences the position of the analyst.
Reflecties over de vorm en de finaliteit
van de psychoanalytische interpretaties
Samuel Markey
This article differentiates between two
forms of interpretation: symbolic and imaginary. It is argued that an
analytic interpretation always revisits a symbolic interpretation made
by the subject, resulting in the subject also making an imaginary interpretation.
Furthermore, a psychoanalytic interpretation can only be of service to
the analytic cure if the analyst makes a cut between the (revisiting of
the symbolic) interpretation made by the analyst and the imaginary interpretation
made by the analysand.
Freuds Entwurf – ein entwendeter
Brief
Mai Wegener
The present article, based on more detailed work by the author (Wegener, 2004) deals with Freud's Project of a Scientific Psychology. Taking into account the context in which the manuscript was written in 1895, namely, Freud's correspondence with Wilhelm Fließ, the Project is seen as a letter in the proper sense of the word and, therefore, is distinguished from writing intended for publication. Published posthumously and surreptitiously in 1950, it is read as a purloined letter. Lacan's revisiting of the Project and his interpretation of it as a Schreibspiel, as well as the genesis of Freud's letter, are studied. Here, the author focuses more specifically on the precarious position of the neurons in the Project and finally on the function of Fließ as addressee of the Project and as Freud's Other.
Symbole
et métaphore
Charles Sasse
The symbolic dimension occupies a central position in the constitution of the subject and of the social field. It is argued that the function of the symbol and its effects on the psychical apparatus and on clinical practise are elucidated by psychoanalytic theory. The author starts with a discussion of the parallel Freud draws between psychogenesis and sociogenesis., The symbol is pivotal in these processes and is characterised by its ability (i) to generate sense and (ii) to connect subject and other (social bond). Both characteristics equally define metaphor. With reference to psychopathology, the function of both symbol and metaphor is highlighted in the process of the coming-into-being of the subject.

This article deals with the formidable challenge of repetition for therapeutic or educational care. Two forms of repetition are differentiated: one driven by the Oedipal life drive, the other by the death drive. Through a close reading of the classic myth of Oedipus Rex, the encounter of these forms of repetition is demonstrated. This myth also offers three main perspectives from which this work may be grasped: good, truth and writing. Originating in a project for abandoned children in a school for special education (De Sassepoort), the possible benefits of assisting children through writing is supported.

The sixth colloquium of A.L.E.P.H. (11-12/12/2004) united psychoanalysts, art historians, philosophers and artists in the Fine Arts Museum of Tourcoing on the theme "Art and Psychoanalysis". In this article, three authors reflect on what touched them during this colloquium and on what resonated with them afterwards. Jean-Pierre Van Eeckhout was inspired by the detail in which the particular is expressed and he emphasizes the value of the "scene" in "body art". Sarah Willems saw this colloquium as an invitation to listen psychoanalytically to contemporary art and to comment on the psychoanalytical interpretation of an art work as a symptom. This idea particularly concerned Els Buytaert whose interest is in creative therapy. Each author offers some considerations from their particular field of activity and suggest that the encounter between art and psychoanalysis paves the way for an inspiring journey.
