Abstract

Seven years after the interruption of his analysis, Norbert comes back to see his analyst. He tells him what happened during the seven years before asking him a question. Having heard this account of wandering and of the discovery of a certain equilibrium, the analyst remembers certain "moments" of the analysis of Norbert, the transferential activity, the family structure. He has a beginning perception, through associations, of new theoretical perspectives on the question of time in psychoanalysis, on that of the father in the psychoses, the cystic-like growth of the psychotic process. Finally he questions himself on his place in relation to the question of the "father's name" when Norbert asks him, in ending, if he will still be there when he will want to take up his analytic journey again.
