Abstract

“En terapia” (In treatment), the program shown on public broadcasting television, adapting the original Israeli series Be Tipul, tells of the ups and downs of an analyst during his treatment sessions with his patients. Taking into account that good doctrine indicates that in the analytical mechanism, there is only on subject -namely the patient- the perspective of the drama makes the conflict between the place of the analyst and the person who represents the character, inevitable. This article analyses the vicissitudes of this tension in the theoretical plane, establishing the differences between psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and discussing the model and treatment of the transference at play.

Key words: Psychoanalysis | Psychotherapy | Analyst’s position | Transference
