LA PSYCHANALYSE DE LA TRANSITIONALITÉ AUJOURD'HUI - LA CRÉATIVITÉ, LA DESTRUCTIVITÉ ET LA SURVIVANCE DE L'OBJET.

In this paper, the author proposes an illustration of the psychoanalytic theories on transitionality - from D. W. Winnicott to Didier Anzieu and René Roussillon, and especially on the importance of arranging the analytic frame when working with difficult patients (non-neurotic), according to "the principles of transitional analysis". Transitionality first implies a form of psychic functioning and inner reorganization - external to the world of the subject by interiorizing/internalizing the subjective experience and the drive movements that determine it. The existence of transitional phenolmena and processes, as well as the creation of a transitional space entail the acceptance of psychic paradoxes, the capacity to perform separation, mourning and melancholy work, they entail adequate relations to the object and the external reality, the development of the symbolization function, the readjustment of psychic representations [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
