    Patients unconsciously aim for an impasse to paralyze relational bonds, sometimes with analyst involvement. Resuming symbolic representation signals the end of this therapeutic deadlock.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychoanalysis

    Background:

    • Therapeutic impasses can arise from unconscious patient fantasies.
    • Analyst's unconscious participation can contribute to patient impasses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the concept of therapeutic impasse as a patient's objective.
    • To identify unconscious dynamics driving impasses and their resolution.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of manifest and unconscious representations in verbal material.
    • Distinguishing unconscious analyst participation from conscious diagnostic emotions.

    Main Results:

    • Impasse involves paralyzing the object's autonomy and the relational bond.
    • Diminished visual imagery and meaningless dialogue characterize impasse states.

  • Emergence of representations signifies the impasse resolution and process resumption.

    • Conclusions:

    • Therapeutic impasses are driven by unconscious fantasies aimed at disrupting autonomy.
    • Analyst's unconscious involvement can perpetuate impasses through non-symbolic dialogue.
    • The symbol-forming function remains intact despite the impasse.
