The text offers a panorama of the movement of the psychoanalytic treatment by comparing it with the construction of a work of art, art occupying an intermediate sector between material reality and psychic reality. It is the transference that has this place in analysis. The first part of analysis aims to consolidate the development of “the other scene” through the progressive experience of the three aspects of psychic reality: as thought-reality, as unconscious, and as structure of the psychical apparatus. These aspects are developed in the transference through the prism of certain transference formations which appear in the middle period, such as the session dream and the transference symptom. These two formations are like concretions of the intermediate sector, posited as indicators of the increasing depth of the analysis. Although these formations have been identified for a long time now, aspects of them which have been overlooked are discussed, particularly in the appreciation of elements of reality in oneiric representation and in acting out as a cathexis of the analytic setting. The transference neurosis, as a neo-reality, is compared in a geometrical metaphor with an angle trisection, that of the functioning of the psyche navigating between material reality and psychic reality, somewhat like the place of art in life, art being in contact with these two realities.
