Some remarks about the mechanisms of symbolisation

Journal Title: Psychoterapia - Year 2014, Vol 170, Issue 3

Abstract

The development of psychoanalytic theory was also reflected in clinical practice, which creatively uses the conceptual symbols in the process of therapy. Initially, the understanding of the symbol as work done once and for all, evolved up to the point where we understand now, thanks to the work of Bion, that the creation of symbols is a process of continuous communication (derived from continuous projective identification), on which the life and mental health rely.
