SUMMARY:

The present study seeks to investigate the notion of the unrepresentable articulated to the psychoanalytic clinic in contemporary times. This is a
theoretical-clinical study based on the psychoanalytic method that uses authors of classical and contemporary psychoanalysis, together with the exposition of
some clinical excerpts with the aim of making the concepts and theorizations presented in the work more vividly circulate. The history of psychoanalysis, more
specifically, in its foundations, is marked by the notion of dividing the psychic apparatus through repression. This metapsychological basis articulates the
symptom, dreams, jokes and other productions of the unconscious with what was named by Freud as the return of the repressed. In the evolution of his
investigations, Freud came across other psychic configurations, which appeared as challenges to the psychoanalytic clinic, as initially thought. In this course,
we can mention the current neuroses, the traumatic neuroses, the war neuroses, the narcissistic neuroses and the psychotic conditions. These were conditions
that presented themselves as walls against the classical analytical technique. Freud then lays the foundations for what could be thought and developed by
Ferenczi, Melanie Klein, Winnicott, Bion, Lacan and by contemporary psychoanalysis, based on extremely challenging cases for the clinic. These cases have
been named as difficult cases, narcissistic conditions, borderline pathologies, among others. Under this banner would be severe depressive conditions,
psychosomatic illnesses, eating disorders, so-called panic syndromes, various forms of compulsion and acts of violence, such as violence and selfextermination. Finally, an enormous number of cases that appear in the current psychoanalytic clinic and that call us to think beyond the classic psychic
structures neurosis, psychosis and perversion. Authors of contemporary psychoanalysis such as André Green, Thomas Ogden, Howard Levine, René
Roussillon, Botella and Botella, among others, have focused on the study of conditions and forms of psychic functioning that are quite fragile in their processes
of representation and symbolization. From the approximation with these forms of suffering in the clinic, the notion of the unrepresentable arises as something
that invites one to enter the processes of psychic representation and symbolization in articulation with the psychic constitution of the subject, since it is related
to what could not be represent in the psyche, remaining below the symbolic structures and the associative chain. Thus, unlike a clinic based on the notion of
representation, repression and the symptom as a return of the repressed; we would be dealing with that which has not even been represented and which,
therefore, has not been repressed. These unrepresentable contents would remain in isolation, incommunicable, split zones, demanding no longer a work of
disconnecting/linking unconscious and conscious representations, but a work that enables the creation of representations and the expansion of the patient's
symbolic and associative functions. In this way, the trauma from Freud to Ferenczi, also passing through contemporary authors, emerges as an articulator in the
work to think about the notion of the unrepresentable in association with what appears in the clinic from the designations of difficult cases. Analytical work in
the face of the patient's unthinkable anguish, in the face of the unrepresentable trauma and archaic processes of the psyche, demands from the analyst a different
place, very different from the work that takes place in classic transference neuroses. It is not about interpreting or even deciphering the repressed unconscious,
but building symbolic possibilities for what was previously unrepresentable.
