In keeping the spirit of the postmodern, the author suggests that psychoanalysis should be wary of subscribing to a set of rules and/or a proper method for the conduct of psychoanalysis. He puts forward instead the suggestion that some patients do well with certain rules and not with others, and offers a brief report concerning a group of patients who were unable to "live by the rules" to support such a viewpoint. He suggests that a corollary of this perspective is one that links the analyst's own capacity to live within or outside of rules to his or her effectiveness with these particular patients. From this unique illustrative group, the general conclusion is offered that only the singular goal of understanding in depth in the proper guiding rule of psychoanalysis.

The analytic method relies on the mental capacity to produce an associative sequence, and afterwards, to discern its unconscious logic; within the social practice of the analytic cure, the method presents itself as the mastered enactment of the condition through which free association is proven to be possible, interpretable and beneficial. There is a contradiction between the necessity of relying on a formerheorization and that of willingly suspending some knowledge that might serve the authenticity of the experience. The author reminds us of the structural links between the fundamental rule and the defined situations within which the analytic process of transformative investigation can take place. He raises the problems that are suggested to arise through the initial objectivation method by acknowledging the transference as the created found object of interpretation. He shows how the transformation of a patient into an analysand implies the functional introjection of the various elements contained by the analytic site. The meaning given to the expression "analyzing situation" is made explicit. The crucial value of the process of enunciation is illustrated by a brief example.

The author demonstrates that is important to establish that Freud, when laying the foundation of what he denominated floating attention in Interpretation of Dreams, was suggesting that analysts "dream the patient's dream, with the minimum censorship possible, at each fraction of the dream", this process being similar to the conceptions on the reverie function described by Bion. Such conceptions have currently provoked changes in the technique of interpretation of dreams.
Such modification, according to the great majority of authors who have studied the subject, has increased the capacity to think, influencing therefore the evolution and the development of the clinical cases described as shown by the author in this paper.

The author sets out from a myth conception considered as a human artifact expressing the endless world of dreams, oneiric imagery, a reality-fantasy compound, a unity/opposition synthesis, tension between the individual and something beyond him, that seals the passage from animality to humanity marked by a constituent and constitutive manner. By establishing a barrier in respect to some instinctive functions and the discrimination between conscious and unconscious, the myth allows for the emergence of substitutive cultural artifacts among which the author outlines the Oedipus Constellation.
The author utilizes Max Muller's theories by relating myth to language and thought and the myth's origin to a great number of possible meanings that are unable to fully and totally express reality, yet human being's disharmony and uncompletedness and his relations with the world.
Therefore, myths reveal expressive potentialities and through them, the human being's sense of "religiosity" is originated, by a peculiar expression.
Also, the author points to relations between myth and ritual and the hazard of rituals of chronicfication through idealization and ideology involving intolerance in relation to oneself and others.

This paper proposes a reflection about the capacity of performing the paternal function. It brings hypothesis of some factors which should make that performance become more difficult, besides emphasizing the father's possibility of becoming an unique presence on the child's conformation and a reference, distinct and complementary from the mother's one. Clinical material is described, in order to exemplify the fundamental importance of an effective paternal presence.

This article examines the analyst-analysand relationship, commonly known as transference-counter transference in the light of the concept of transience. The author basis himself on the supposition that we are born with patterns, in the form of pre-conceptions, to be fulfilled during all of our human experience. In this light, the analytic experience is one among many others that help human beings to know themselves a little better. The author emphasizes that the experience lived out in an analytic session, like so many others, is necessarily transient. It changes at every instant and never repeats itself!
The author maintains the position that Bion's concept of pre-conceptions, when applied to the analytic relationship, leads to the conclusion that the concept of transference-counter transference must be re-thought and broadened. The author also posits that, for both analysand and analyst, the analytic relationship lends itself to bringing about experiences that do not represent repetition of patterns from the past, according to the classical concepts of transference-counter transference.
Clinical material taken from three different sessions of the author's patients is brought to exemplify the discussed concepts.

In this paper the author intends to examine the interpretation concept's evolution and its development by reviewing the psychoanalyst's stand and role in the psychoanalytic field. Matters regarding subjectivity and inter subjectivity in the psychoanalytical relationship are raised and the "creative construction" idea is proposed at the side of a more classical notion of the interpretation concept.
In a second moment, W. Bion's related ideas to the theme are raised; notions of rêverie and evolution, ideas of "caesura" and of emotional inter subjective relations are considered to truly confer the interpretation task to the analytic pair. Finally, the author proposes a model that allows for a new approach to the theme.

Based on a text by Freud on Leonardo da Vinci and using the metaphor of an imaginary return to his office in Vienna, the author attempts to place on scene the points of view of different analysts regarding objectives and outreaches of psychoanalytic constructions and interpretations applied to a work of art. He describes two basic positions, realistic and subjective, also finding authors who could be placed between the two, in a third position, although this would not constitute an eclectic accommodation. He formulates a hypothesis relating the conditions of mental representation of reality to the characteristically Oedipal constitution of the psychic subject.
