摘要

The perspective of literature formulations allows us to think of the Clinical Diary as an artistic product of Ferenczi’s unfolding experience of primary relatedness with his patients.The open and poetic style of his writing supports such an interpretation.Ferenczi’s own anxiety on surrendering to the experiment of mutual analysis was quite visible.Ferenczi undertook in intensive,genuinely interpersonal therapy:patient and analyst become both artist(writer)and medium.He was in fact the father of the post-Freudian approach to what he called the“traumatogenic”environing psychology of his patients.On a personal level,in his direct and forthright discussion of Freud and his work,he deeply influenced the creative unfolding of major psychoanalytic perspectives on theory and practice.The Clinical Diary is a personal novel of searching boundaries in psychoanalytical technical questions and also searching boundaries in human relations and in metapsychology of the conscious and unconscious processes.There are three storytellers:Ferenczi,his patients and Freud.Their storylines are mixed in special ways focusing on the secret questions of the analytical method.
