In this presentation, I will be considering the question of how the patient transmits his or her unrepresented mind to the analyst. I will do this by using three different concepts: projective identification, reverie, and psychic figurability. I will elaborate the links between these concepts, and I suggest that they reflect different stages in the process of representation. I will also show how, with the help of these concepts, I came to better understand an anxious female patient of mine, my own mind as an analyst, and what happened between us. This almost same article has been published in Finnish in 6/2024 in Psykoanalyyttinen Psykoterapia journal.
