| Modes of transmission are always
present in the unconscious
desires of psychoanalytic communities and in those of
analysts themselves,
intermingled with the desires of the group to which
each analyst belongs. It
is propounded that analysts should never stop questioning
their own
defense-centered unconscious motives.
The ambiguous relationship established between the analyst
and the
institutional psychoanalytic group, which structures
and, at the same time,
limits the analyst’s identity, is prone to be
reactivated and trigger splitting,
projections and idealizations with the aim of safeguarding
a bit of the original
illusion in a corner of the unconscious.
While the desire to transmit relates to the institution
locus, its early
foundations are in the subject’s own self and
are linked to the death drive.
