Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to investigate the action scope extension of the psychoanalytic method from the exploration of narcissism as a field of research. To do so, a retreat will be made to the beginnings of the constitution of subjectivity, precisely the fase of child development that precedes the establishment of self-unity status. This backward investigation broadens the listening possibilities of the unconscious material, opening the space for the quality of the analyst's presence in the process of associativity.
