From the work of transference to the transference to work

The paper responds to questions on the transmission of psychoanalysis that were raised after the crisis in the World Association of Psychoanalysis (AMP) in 1988-1989. The focus is on the notion of work in psychoanalysis as a means of addressing Jacques Lacan's 'politics of the treatment'. It makes a significant distinction in the nature of work, namely in analysis and at the end of analysis. This distinction is termed a move from a work of transference in the treatment to transference to work in transmission
