<br/><br/> Beyond deontological anonymisation, how does the work of transcriptionwhich begins the analysis of the collected discourse displace the other one encountered on another stage as the subject-object of the research? Identifications and transferential movements which are active in the researcher and made visible by the clinical writing, would be perceptible in the creation of characters staged and taken as object-support of the theorisation in the analysis. This raises the question of the place of fiction in clinical writing through the use of characters and a narrative to share the ‘clinical experience’. By entertwining the concepts of ‘narrative identity’ (Ricœur) and ‘historization of the I’ (Aulagnier) to think about the narcissistic investments in the act of writing that sometimes underlie the work of analysing clinical interviews, we can measure how a fictionalization of the self can be a way of ‘doing science’ by taking subjectivity into account.
