The objective of the present paper is to highlight
what I have decided to define as "the masks of the end
of the analysis", which correspond more to interruptions
or "impasses" occurring in the course of many analytical
processes rather than to a legitimate ending. As from
Ferenczi's observations, it cannot be denied that the
analytical practice entails the active participation
of the analyst's psychic processes and his subjectivity
in the direction of the cure. Thus, when going over
some of Ferenczi's contributions, it is relevant to
be aware of current and related subjects, such as: 1)
The value of countertransference both as resistance
and instrument, 2) The relationship between empathy
and countertransference control, 3) The technical modifications
and their effect upon the process, 4) The end of the
analysis - between the ideal and the possible cure.
Going through the unconscious fantasy moves the subject
on his identificatory narcissistic and oedipal foundations.
It is then that fiction gives way to the truth. When
this point of the analysis is reached, the mask of "being
for the other" falls down and the subject becomes himself.
Key words: cure - psychoanalysis - transference
- countertransference - end of analysis - trauma - character
This paper is about the discontent at the clinical
practice taking into account converging aspects - the
patient's demand and the analyst's place. Special importance
is given to the incidence of subject-transcending determinants
which affect both the analyst and the patient and belong
to the sociocultural context and the power policy of
a certain time. The scientific, technological and cultural
paradigms which would have incidence in the subjectivity
construction are analized. New times of life and death:
in-vitro fertilization, transplants, genetic manipulation.
The immediacy and zapping of both information and image
constitute an attack to the skill of thinking. Hopes
are placed on a critical, metapsychological and psychopathological
review to account for each case in situ. It is emphasized
that all this requires the ethical questioning and commitment
of the analyst at his practice.
Key words: discontent - clinical practice -
subjective construction - demand - analyst's position
- sociocultural context - present practice - ethics
This is an attempt to describe metapsychologically
the access to the unconscious, through some freudian
concepts like the dreams. It is useful in order to
describe this an interesting clinical vignette, related

The post-modernity is the period where the cult of
science dominates, in this way, the truth of the subject
is passed over and is substituted by the knowledge about
the object. This phenomenon provokes that the
subjectivity becomes the target of that it could be call
"pervert annulment". This fact originates that
the violence reproduces itself because the subjects
break the social threads that keep them alive.
Psychoanalysis proposes itself as the device that allows
the subject realize his own ex-sistence, in this manner,
the bases to a desire not related with the master that
gives orders to work for the consumption, the efficiency
and the individualism, could be built.
