Psychic Change and Enactment: some reflections - Ariel Liberman

"Psychic Change and Enactment: Some Reflections" is the work that Ariel Liberman offers us, to examine psychic change from a relational perspective, placing enactment as a central moment in the analytic process. Far from understanding it as a mere technical error, he presents it as a shared repetition (by patient and analyst) that, through insight and the analyst's disidentification with the embodied object, can become a transformative experience. In dialogue with the logic of the “deferred action”, how are these scenes resignified “après-coup”? How can the unthought in the analytic field open new possibilities for symbolization and change? Ariel Liberman holds a PhD in Psychology and is a member of the Madrid Psychoanalytic Association with training functions. He is currently the editor of the APM's Journal of Psychoanalysis and participates in the committee that organizes the biennial Spanish Language Meetings held by the APM. Over the years, he has held various positions of responsibility within the association, notably as Scientific Secretary of the APM Board. He is the author of several articles and has published two books: “An Introduction to the Work of D.W. Winnicott” (2011) and “Conversations on Psychoanalysis with Stephen A. Mitchell” (2022). He works in private practice in Madrid, Spain. This episode is presented in English and Spanish. Spanish You can download a copy of the paper here .
