The Third Scene
Munari, Franca
The Third Scene - 2007.
52
— Freud’s metaphor of a « Construction in analysis » of the two psychic scenes (Schauplätzen) of the patient and analyst considered as separate has prompted me to conceive of the reality that is at stake in the treatment of a child as a « third scene » on which the phantasy either acts or is hidden. A child’s play effectively implies that imagined objects and situations are supported by visible and tangible objects from the real world. The analyst is thus not only an object of transference for the child but a means of support. The analyst is consequently obliged to turn his attention away from his psychic scene in order to see, touch and also actively participate in this play.
