Le décès subit et non préparé d'un analyste soulève des questions sur le devenir du travail analytique engagé avec son analysant. L'auteur questionne la nature et l'impact de la perte encourue, et propose des considérations sur le transfert et sur le travail de deuil, à la lumière des concepts d'utilisation de l'objet (Winnicott) et de séduction (Laplanche). Le travail de deuil se révèle un travail de l'altérité qui s'impose ici dramatiquement. Une revue de la littérature psychanalytique sur le sujet et deux exemples cliniques mettent en relief le caractère potentiellement traumatique d'un tel décès et l'importance des enjeux contre-transférentiels.
The sudden and unprepared death of an analyst brings up many questions about the fate of the psychoanalytical work done with his patients. The nature and the impact of such loss are addressed by the author who proposes some reflections on transference and the work of mourning within the perspective of Winnicott's use of an object and Laplanche's seduction theory. Mourning reveals here a dramatic confrontation with otherness. A review of the psychoanalytical literature on the topic emphasizes the traumatic potential of such loss and the importance of counter-transferential issues. The first year of resumed analysis of two women who had experienced the sudden death of their former analyst illustrates the theoretical considerations as the new analyst comes to be treated in fantasy as being dead.
