Abstract

on the topic of psychoanalyst’s unconsciousness, published in the professional psychoanalytic journals from the Scopus list during the first half of 2017. According to them, out of 447 articles in 22 journals, 17 papers were discovered that contain the results of empirical research on the phenomenology of the functioning and manifestation of psychoanalyst’s unconsciousness. As a result, mostly the empirical part of them is based on clinical cases and interviews with psychoanalysts, training analysts and supervisors. In them, in particular, we discovered three general groups of key concepts that are the most relevant subjects of study during the specified period: countertransference, reverie and unconscious communication. A brief overview of the introduced categories in each group is described, for example: transference-countertransference matrix, narcissistic needs of the psychoanalyst, analytic eroticism, experiences regarding to the end of psychoanalysis, silence and numbness of psychoanalysts, unconscious fantasy and unconscious intersubjectivity. The conclusions generalize that the psychoanalyst’s unconsciousness and phenomenology of its manifestation in analytical work remains in the constant focus of research carried out in various psychoanalytic approaches, covering not only direct clinical practice (including those with specific categories of analyzers), but also training analysis and supervisor's assessment. The classical and lacanian schools are more focused on the study of countertransference, the British school – the reveries and unconscious imagination, the intersubjectivists are interested in the study on the ability of the psychoanalyst to use his or her unconsciousness in creating a special intersubjective reality between him or her and the analyst. Unity in the views of a psychoanalyst’s unconsciousness is noted in the ideas about its sensitivity, the diagnostic value of the experiences arising in the sessions, as well as the danger of neglecting the influence of his own unconscious on the psychoanalytic process.
