Transference in Play - Play in Transference (The Lacan/UK Open Seminar)

Transference in Play - Play in Transference

In conversation: Dr Leonardo Leibson & Tamara Dellutri

It was Freud who, in his Papers on Technique noticed the “highly explosive” character of transference love which he defines as a “playground” for the patient to unravel the erotic reality of the unconscious.

In this context it could be said that “the analyst is at least two": the one who allows himself to be caught up in the game and the one who can read what the play is about. As Transference implies the enactment (in play) of the sexual reality of the unconscious, this play will have moments of pause that signal a need for reading, for interpretation. In that moment of pause, something points to the obstacle that, transferentially, shows the point where the analyst will become the support of the act.

If there is no awakening of the transferential play, there is no void that launches the act. And, in turn, "there is no analyst except in the act."

This conversation will explore the ludic aspect of transference-love as quintaessential component of the analytical experience.
