Berouti discusses the place of anxiety in psychoanalytic sessions. His hypothesis is that anxiety is an archaic mode of thought, a mode of perceiving and sensing. It takes on a communicative force from the resonance of affect which it raises in the analyst from a primordial identification with his patient. These mnemic traces of primary cathexes in the experience with the primary object underlie and maintain for the patient and for the analyst the identifications and fantasies of the primal scene. Berouti thus views anxiety as a singular mode of psychic liaison.
