Abstract

In certain difficult cases there reigns a feeling of instability. The constructions of both analyst and patient regularly break down. The author proposes to consider a process of this type in his psychoanalytic work with érica, undertaken the day after an attempt at suicide on her part. The crux of the transference revealed itself two years later in the presentification of a renewed passage to the act. The discussion attempts to clarify the role of repetition in so far as it is situated between remembering and action of a fatal nature. It evokes the "use" of an object-analyst in an essentially Winnicottian sense that allows for a disengagement and extrication from the impasse in question. © Presses Universitaires de France.
