Recourse to primary sensorimotor identification seems to favor the development of processes of transference that pertain to a system of traces that cannot be mobilized in the intrapsychic, but only in the intersubjective domain. It is a question here of non-represented, non-affected traces, of a narcissistic braiding of object and subject in which the psychoanalyst would become a protagonist of this mark. In this processual dynamic, the analyst senses in his counter-transference a certain emptiness, which he may interpret as the patient’s failure to represent.
