The present study's aim is to demonstrate the importance of transitivism as a clinical conceptual device and its application in psychoanalysis. The authors introduce Bergès & Balbo's concept of the 'transitivist operation' and a clinical case previously discussed by J.-D. Nasio (which presented aspects of the treatment of psychosomatic disorders) as the starting point of this study.
