From Francoise Dolto to Trousseau, the model of open consultation that one encounters in the transmission of child psychoanalysis is based on inventiveness. The author was trained through Enfance en jeu’s open consultation and hopes to show that child psychoanalysis is linked with adult psychoanalysis. In child psychoanalysis, drawing and the analyst’s listening play a similar role to that of dreams and their interpretation in adult psychoanalysis. By way of a clinical case of a young boy, the author illustrates certain particularities of analysis with children: the place of the parents; the transference effects between the child, the parents, and the analyst; and the inventiveness produced.
