Botella, Ogden, Green, Ferro, Bion
Comment to César Botella’s interview]
Elias Mallet da Rocha Barros
Abstract: The author discusses the articulation of concepts in C. Botella’s articles with other developments operated by W. Bion, T. Ogden, R. Britton, E. R. Barros and A. Ferro suggesting that through such intertwined dialogues one is able to observe an intense psychoanalytical thought being developed. Articulation occurs around the concept of representation and/or absence of representation. The author also suggests that Latin America, in its peculiar way of grasping new concepts in a new context, is the ideal space to observe such articulation being accomplished. The matter of symbols’ development processes and its internal logic is also examined.
Keywords: representation; absence of representation; irrepresentable; symbol; affective pictogram.

Thinking with Botella
Comment to César Botella’s interview]
Fernanda Marinho e Ney Marinho
Abstract: The interview was considered as an invitation to reflect upon Psychoanalysis in post-scholastic times. We outline the presence of a fertile couple as a background. We try to utilize familiar notions – Bion’s theory of transformations-in order to understand Botella’s proposal, without trying to reduce it to what is already known. We utilize the notion of language games (Wittgenstein) in order to comprehend the clinical situation presented. We also suggest that the notion of hospitality (Derrida) is thought upon the analytical relationship. We agree with Botella as to the importance of Capsa and present some suggestions for the interchange development.
Keywords: Botella; figurability; Bion; transformations; Wittgenstein; language games; Derrida; hospitality; Capsa.

Notes on Brusset’s Report
Ana Maria Brias Silveira
Abstract: Bernard Brusset, in his report at the 66th French Language Psychoanalysts’ Conference, proposed that the study of metapsychology of bonding and of limits of the self, taking as a starting point the Freudian metapsychology enriched with the contribution of authors such as Bion, Winnicott and A. Green, could lead to the creation of a third topic. This would be a “primitive topic”, prior to the two others, which would also allow for a more thorough examination of non-neurotic pathology cases, characterized by the fragility of the narcissistic envelope, as well as the work with these in the analytical situation - play area, metaphorization and sense ownership between both partners: analyst and analysand.
Keywords: psychic apparatus; drive; object relation; bonds; topic.

Brusset: clinical illustration
Magda Guimarães Khouri
Abstract: This text summarizes a clinical illustration related in Bernard Brusset’s paper “Metapsychology of Linkage and the ‘Third Topic’?”, presented in the 66th Congress of French Speaking Psychoanalysts, in 2006.
Christine, 35 years old, was hospitalized due to severe depression with psychotic disorganization. The patient’s process of ten years of analytic therapy was reported emphasizing Brusset’s conceptual articulation of the relation between psychic spaces and linkage and discussing the spaces of primary indiscrimination and the limits of the self, as well as a notion of processes, notably projection/introjection.
Keywords: introjection; narcissism; projection; transference; delusions.

Originary landmark and transformations of bonding, from Freud to Winnicott
André Green

A third topic?
Ana Maria Andrade de Azevedo
Abstract: The author’s attempt is to examine Brusset’s paper presented in the 66th Congress of French Speaking Psychoanalysts, in Lisbon, trying to clarify, within possibilities, the proposal for a third topic. Due to the extension and complexity of the text, only some of the aspects mentioned by the author are outlined aiming to expand the question of the intra psychic, inter subjective, subjectivity, analytical object and non-representation. Some of the ideas by D. W. Winnicott, M. Klein, W. Bion, A. Green and C. Botella are mentioned since they were utilized by Brusset in order to build his third topic hypothesis. The idea of exteriority experience, which is fundamental for Brusset’s thesis is presented with some references to the consequences of this functioning in the clinic.
Keywords: analytical relationship; psychic space; potential space; analytical object; intersubjectivity; intrapsychic; exteriority experience; clinic of psychical emptiness; third topic.

The line of juxtaposition of the neurotic and psychotic limits in borderline patients
Josette Czerny
Abstract: In the study of boderline patients we observe that they present a narcissism primary deficiency that afterwards suffer an intense traumatism that lead them to a modification of their existencial and relational life. Our hypothesis is that occurs a sinking of the preconscious space, with functional deficiencies, with an approach of the extreme limits of the non-psychotic and psychotic functions. The result is a virtual line, with high turbulence. The patients remain immobilized on this virtual line, with preconscious and ego deficiency. They present impoverishment of their internal and external objectal links.
Keywords: virtual line; juxtaposition; narcissism; limits; preconscious.

The somatic and body experiences
Admar Horn
Abstract: The author exposes a synthesized vision of the report presented by B. Brusset in the 66th French Language Psychoanalysts’ Conference (CPLF), which happened on May 2006 in Lisbon. The main theme is metapsychology of bonding, questioning the need for a “third topic”. Next, he describes how all this is viewed under the perspective of psychosomatic psychoanalysis, practiced in the Paris Institute of Psychosomatics (Ipso) by putting the sensorial psychoanalytical clinic in evidence.
Keywords: psychosomatic clinic; third topic; metapsychology of bonding; sensorial; psychosomatic psychotherapist maternal function.

Notes on B. Brusset’s “Metapsychology of bonding and ‘third topic’?”
Luciane Falcão
Abstract: The author gives some theorical contributions setting out from Bernard Brusset’s “Metapsychology of Bonding and ‘Third Topic’?” which launches questioning over the need – or not – for a third topic in order to get a hold of certain aspects of the contemporary clinic and of connecting it with its corresponding theory of practice. Despite recognizing Brusset’s proposals as essential for reflection and deepening of metapsychology of bonding, the author reminds us that the notion of psychic bond is ancient in psychoanalysis and doesn’t consider the need of naming a third topic or even creating new theories in order to reflect upon the metapsychology of bonding. A discussion is initiated based on a trail that allows a pathway in comprehending that bond formation would already have been contained in the first and second Freudian topics. Reflections are mainly based in S. Freud’s and A. Green’s ideas.
Keywords: metapsychology of bonding; topics; limit structures; object.

Between rememberance and destiny: repetition
Norberto Carlos Marucco
Abstract: Repetitions (agieren), the representable, the non-representable and the irrepresentable. The concepts of instinctive embryo and buried (verschuttet) have constituted an “other unconscious” which is expressed through repetition as a destiny. In order to approach it, the analyst will operate from his “mind” thorugh his true singularity, his capacity for rêverie, his “non analysed” unconscious, unprecedented and the historical construction-conjecture.
Keywords: destiny; representable; non-representable; irrepresentable; “pusional embryo”; archaic; the buried (verschuttet); countertransference; capacity for rêverie; mind of the analyst.

Working through the end of civilization
Jonathan Lear
Abstract: This is an account of how a civilization works through the problems it faces when it is threatened with destruction. Psychoanalytic ideas play a crucial role in explaining how a creative response is possible. Conversely, by focusing on this threat psychoanalysis can discover new challenges for its own conceptual development.
Keywords: conceptual development; work through; culture; civilization; imagination; loss of identity.

Rememberance, trauma and collective memory: the struggle for rememberance in psychoanalysis
Werner Bohleber
Abstract: Through the growing importance of analysising the therapeutic relationship’s “here and now”, rememberance and reconstruction of the past have lost their central place as they had for Freud. Traumatic experiences and memories are settled for this development. The specificity of the dynamics of such rememberance and the importance of reconstruction are presented.
Keywords: trauma; rememberance; reconstruction; current emotional experience; historicization; memory; collective rememberance and Holocausto.
