According to the Author, focusing on the subtle transactions that take place between patient and analyst is the starting point for understanding the interactive structure of the analytical process. Already Winnicott had emphasized the value and importance of the analyst’s explicit affective responses. In full attunment with him, the author stresses that it is necessary that analysts prove their engagement in the process and in the relation, even when the patients’ behaviours induce distressing responses. In this kind of interactive process, our aim cannot be that of remaining outside dangerous areas and protecting ourselves from destructive dynamics or simply surviving them, but it must be to identify them and find a way for getting inside them and deconstruct them, demystifying subtle interactions and defusing time bombs before they explode. For these patients the new experience of the analyst trying to do his best to remain in contact even when the situation becomes difficult and risky can be truly meaningful.
