Active psychoanalytic psicoteraphy

Abstract

It is a technique that takes the observations to Freud´s work, from Ferenczi, Sarkissoff until Llancán. It is
mainly based on both the therapist and the patient conduct. This conduct considers two aspects: the transference
relation and the conduct itself, of the relation between both of them. The therapist does not remain passive
while listening to his patient; the therapy is done in a corporal relation face to face. In many moments, the
patient needs to be supported corporally. In order to do it, the therapist holds him and supports him with his
body, accompanies him with the voice when the patients needs and wants to scream, cry, hit, when he needs a
hug with love, etc. The therapist facilitates his patient conduct in the externalization of his inner feelings both
conscious and unconscious. The technique considers body energy, the love bond since childhood, the handling
of affection in the present time, empathy, physical contact, insight, resistance and the mind.
