Authors

The Author, through clinical cartoons, describes the key points of his clinical model and traces his mental model: "thinking-feeling-dreaming". The concept of the analytical field, as a real place of emotional encounter and psychic transformation, as well as the oneiric thought of waking, are placed at the centre of the analytical work. According to the Author, the field welcomes and generates those proto-emotional turbulences that the alpha functions of the field continually alphabetize; the work of the field then allows the development of apparatuses for dreaming, feeling and thinking. In this perspective, a clinical narrative with a high degree of insaturity is essential to foster the multiplication of points of view, so that the analytical field can become a matrix of possible stories. In this way the "unthinkable" becomes a shared story, through a series of emotional passages that allow us to name what the patient could not represent until then.
