A patient recounts her analytical experience with Sigmund Freud.

In this extraordinary text, in a few dazzling pages, Freud takes his cue from the analytical situation in its lived concreteness to show us the very roots of psychic and human nature.

Una paziente racconta la propria esperienza analitica con Sigmund Freud. La sua testimonianza sul senso e sul !ne ultimo di tale esperienza diventa l’occasione per interrogarsi sulla ricezione freudiana di Nietzsche ma soprattutto sulla !gura del superuomo. Freud si mostra perplesso di fronte al pensiero di Nietzsche ma allo stesso tempo ne è attratto: le sue esitazioni consce e inconsce, rilette attraverso gli strumenti interpretativi che Freud stesso offre, diventano il punto di partenza di un percorso che si snoda attraverso alcuni passaggi delle sue opere a partire da La negazione (1925). In questo straordinario testo, in poche, folgoranti pagine, Freud prende spunto dalla situazione analitica nella sua concretezza vissuta per mostrarci le radici stesse dello psichico e della natura umana. Da questo e da altri testi presi in esame, emerge la natura autosperimentale di una pratica che mette costantemente in gioco in prima persona dal punto di vista etico chi decide di seguirla e che si rivela, nella sua essenza, per questa ragione, molto vicina alla sensibilità e alla esperienza nietzschiana.

Abstract
A patient recounts her analytical experience with Sigmund Freud. Her testimony about the meaning and ultimate purpose of this experience becomes an opportunity to question Freud’s reception of Nietzsche, especially the Superman !gure. Freud is puzzled by Nietzsche’s thought but simultaneously attracted to it: his conscious and, above all, unconscious hesitations, reread through the interpretative tools that Freud offers, become the starting point of a path that winds its way through speci!c passages of his works, starting with Negation (1925). In this extraordinary text, in a few dazzling pages, Freud takes his cue from the analytical situation in its lived concreteness to show us the very roots of psychic and human nature. From this and other texts examined, what emerges above all is the self-experimental nature of a practice that constantly puts the person who decides to follow it at stake in the !rst person from an ethical point of view, and that reveals itself in its essence, for this reason, very close to Nietzschean sensitivity and experience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
