Psicoanalisi in forma e azione

The work presents a reflection based on the authors’ experiences in training in psychoanalysis. In recent years, the training course has become increasingly complex and requires training in the four fundamental pillars of any training course: theoretical seminars, supervision, personal analysis and internship. In this case, the authors examine their experience as interns, as well as the supervision aspects, and aim to present their critical appraisal of the training course and of its transformation. The section on internship explores the strenuous move from a ‘private’ psychoanalysis to a ‘public’ one, and focuses on the lived experience and the questions raised by the intern. The supervision is presented as a learning space and a space for re-elaboration of the student’s early analytical experiences during the internship. The contextual nature of the experiences makes the supervision an even more complex process in which it is necessary to combine the internal logic of formative learning with its applicability in the contexts.
