1 - The Analyst’s Transference on the Psychoanalytic Theory and Institution / Savca Victor

Abstract: In this paper I will try to underline some peculiar situations that the candidate, in his so called ‘Training Analysis’, has to handle, when he meets some difficulties that analysands, with no training projects, usually do not meet. I will further point out some other difficulties that also trained analysts have to face in their psychoanalytic (this term, from here on in the text, will be replaced by the Greek symbol ø) activity. I would like to investigate how these situations, peculiar and problematic both for the candidates and the analysts, are strictly connected with the particular ‘status’ of the ø theory and of the training system, as well as with the relationship that they, candidates and analysts, may develop towards such ‘status’.

2 - The Work Of Clifford Yorke / Savca Victor

Abstract: Clifford York was one of the leading Freudians of his generation. As Anna Freud’s close colleague, he was also one of the last remaining links to the theoretical and clinical tradition set by her father, Sigmund Freud. Clifford Yorke was a prolific writer and played a very active role in the scientific life of both the British Society of Psychoanalysis and the Anna Freud Centre. The Anna Freud Centre was the foremost international centre for training to work psychoanalytically with children in the Freudian tradition. Clifford Yorke belonged to the tradition not just by training but by temperament. To be a psychoanalyst, as Freud saw it, required more than a knowledge of science. Unless the psychoanalyst is at home with literature, the arts and mythology, for example, he or she will not be able to make sense of much that patients bring to their analyses. He was a leading psychoanalyst and close associate of Anna Freud. I would like to comment mostly on three aspects of his work: his knowledge and use of Anna Freud’s Diagnostic profile, his work with alcoholics and drug addicts, and his use of metapsychology.

3 - New perspectives in Psychoanalysis / Savca Victor

Abstract: Not all news is good news, as not always no news means good news. At least, not in science, not in arts and not in psychoanalysis. However,what is new, when it does not frighten too much, has the potential to arisethe interest. This is, perhaps, because it activates our exploring, risk-taking behaviors, which, as we all know, represent something radicallyopposed to conservative, security seeking attitudes.
