Abstract: In all this time, I had a diffuse impression that I was waiting for somethingto happen. That elusive something was to make possible a «true»analytic therapy, comparable to what comes up with other patients: somefree associations, some memories, some insights, some working-throughof transferences, all accompanied by some affective halo. These terms suggesta minimum, to express the “analytic lack” of this therapy.
While Miss L was talking, I thought: “What a pity that such a beautiful,lively woman had no lover”. It was the thought of another womanthat would have wished to share her patient’s enjoyment of life and, at thesame time, it was the thought of the virtual man with whom she couldhave lived together.

Abstract: Research Subject: Emil Cioran’s name is often linked to such words as „philosopher” and„(a)moralist”. As moralist activities — i.e., interpreting ethical acts in theirpractical dimension — are obviously sub-species of philosophical activities,it is not hard to equate this man from Răşinari with a person whoundeniably belongs to the realm of philosophical reflection. What matters— especially in the light of this paper — is to identify what kind of philosopherCioran was and which were the assumptions for taking „philosophy”as Object-Choice. Any critical and hermeneutical approach ofCioran’s works and biography is obviously difficult, given their hugehuman and theoretical complexity. Being willing to take risks, I think thatblindly „psychoanalyzing” the author of Fall into Time is a scientificallyhonourable endeavour, and the results of such endeavour can only help toa better understanding of the man and of his reflective vision.

Abstract: One of the pillars of Freud’s thought was surely his view of dreams (Freud1911, 1916-17). Dreams as the royal road to the unconscious and as theguardian of sleep are among the most widely shared concepts in psychoanalyticthought. Yet the approach to the interpretation of dreams has changedgreatly, so that many — for example, Meltzer, in Dream Life (1984) —regard them no longer as puzzles to be decrypted, but instead as entitieswith which to enter into resonance so as to see what they arouse in us.

Abstract: IntroductionThe present paper aims to cast light on what I consider to be one of thefundamental aspects of Sigmund Freud’s work: the style of his writings. The discussion will focus on specific characteristics of his figurative language:the way he employs similitudes and metaphors, the uses to whichhe puts them, and the stylistic effects of this resort to analogy.
It could, with some justification, be asked what interest a study of thiskind might have for present-day psychoanalysis. However, the truth isthat, even some seven decades after his death at the age of 83, Freud’s writingsremain much more than the initial phase in the elaboration of anarea of scientific study; for many psychoanalysts, they have never beentruly surpassed and must therefore be returned to constantly. The actualreasons for this return can be a cause of disagreement. Some claim that,given the flourishing development of analysis since Freud, such a returnis nothing but a ritual reverence for the past. Others put forward the mostvaried arguments to show that Freud is still a scientifically vital presencein their discipline; the contemporary relevance of his thought, they argue,is such that to dismiss it would seriously undermine the development ofpsychoanalysis.
