By means of problematics and clinical illustrations I will try to position this excellent relational paper in the wider context of relational theory, in accordance with Georgiana Dobrescu's request.
The paper is structured around extremely current interrogations on the contemporary dynamics of psychoanalysis. I'm referring to the question to what extent is the analyst's countertransference influenced by the data of his personal psychology, as reflected in the professional training and in the choices of his personal history.
Our whole process of training, personal analysis, supervision, imbibing in clinic various theoretical approaches bears the mark of our unique psychology. Even now I remember that this is how I understood and used the Sponsoring Committee's professional supervisions and evaluations. It is highly important to me that the committee's entire activity should allow us to find and express the personal voice which corresponds to our personal psychology. The essay in which I spoke of personal analysis and the way in which we could use it in our life fits perfectly in the present discussion. It is about the way in which the psychoanalytic relationship and our psychoanalyst's countertransference are used in order to progress and overcome the patterns of our personal pathology.
