The third in mind.

Various aspects of the occult as they relate to psychoanalysis are discussed in this article. Drawing on both Freud's writings and Granoff and Rey's (1983) work on the occult in Freudian thought, the author considers the concept of co-thinking and its manifestations in clinical work. The psychoanalytic third is viewed in the context of the occult element known as thought transference, or thought transmission, and is also considered as it bears on psychoanalytic supervision.

[Motivation and psychoanalysis. A cross-road].

The concept of drive in psychoanalysis corresponds to the question of motivation. This is related to the psychoanalytical methodology that is founded up on a specific process of communication, the listening and the interpretation of subjectivity and its unconscious origins. This specificity explains why psychoanalytic psychology deals with attachment and aversion drive (on one side sexuality, broadly speaking, including infantile sexuality, and on the other side aggressivity and destructivity). In the unconscious part of the mind, these drives are materialized in fantasies, action representations, that impose themselves unconsciously upon the conscious mind and give rise to intrapsychic conflicts and to personality disorders that are treated by psychoanalysis.
