Abstract
The term countertransference had its moment some years ago, although this does not mean that it is not still discussed today. In this term, the history of psychoanalysis and its incidence in practice intersect.
At the beginning of his seminar on “Transference”, Jacques Lacan announces that he will speak of its “subjective disparity”. When referring to countertransference, he does so on the basis of texts from the Kleinian circle, in which it is possible to determine that, at that level, what is at stake is “subjective parity”.
If, in countertransference, one must take into account “the feelings experienced by the psychoanalyst, determined by their relations with the analysand”, Lacan situates it as “an irreducible effect of the situation of transference as such”, one that directly concerns the position of the analyst in the direction of the cure.
