PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND THEORETICAL CONTRIBUTIONS A lecture by Dr. Sapisochin was held: "The Psychoanalytic Process: phenomenology and metapsychology of analytic listening". In this work the speaker began with the question: How and why do we listen to what we listen In order to answer this, Sapisochin suggests that states prior to the to? interpretation exist within the analyst. States related to the activation of the analyst’s emotionality, and that are only reached in the encounter with the patient. Where, as analysts, we depend only and entirely on ourselves, that is, on our psyche. Our psyche is activated in two levels during the process of analytic listening: a) from an affective/empathic dimension one that could be aligned with what – Freud called evenly-suspended attention; where external experience (the patient’s) becomes internal experience (in the analyst). Similar to visual images in the analyst’s psyche, or something like daydreaming. And b) from a countertransference process where a series of transformations – while listening occur, and a more passive attitude from the analyst is required so that Freud’s model of dreaming can operate. After the conference there was an exchange with the public, with numerous contributions and doubts clearly explained by the Doctor. Later that day, an analyst, member of the Guadalajara Association, presented the case of a patient, which enabled a productive supervision and the opportunity to understand more deeply the Doctor’s theoretical–clinical position regarding analytic listening in clinical work. The dynamic was as follows: first, the presentation of a brief clinical history and afterwards, two analytic sessions of the mentioned patient. Throughout this dynamic, Dr. Sapisochin shared his points of view, along with the public’s input and questions. A second paper was presented: "The metapsychology of analytic listening in clinical work". The central questions to be answered were: How does the transformation work in the analyst take place? How to go from To answer this, Dr. Sapisochin states that analytic listening to interpretation? we part from an intuitive/empathic listening, functioning through images to later be put in words.
