Abstract

Dreher writes: “The psychoanalytic perception without adequate psychoanalytic concepts is blind, the psychoanalytic concepts without a reference to relevant psychoanalytic phenomena are empty”. He also explains that the conceptual and empirical dimensions are intertwined in psychoanalytic conceptual research. This paper addresses the question of analyzability by refining the specificity of psychoanalysis in relation to psychotherapy and by considering that the boundaries of the treatable and of psychoanalysis recede in harmony with the analyst's superegoic ideals.
