Il caso clinico e le operazioni di sicurezza dell'analista

The aim of this text is to make an analysis of the clinical case. It is focused not on the content, but on the form, and in particular on the “form of content”, that includes the narrative structure, the role of the narrator and the focalization. If we observe not only what, but also how the author narrates, we can have interesting information about the thought of the psychoanalyst, his process of mentalization, his defense mechanisms and his resistances. We use Bion’s theory of thinking, integrated by the concept of “beta remains” theorised by the author. The observations focuses on Freud’s four most important clinical cases.
