- Abstract
In the commentary by Jutta Gutwinski-Jeggle, the intuitive imagination of psychoanalyst Johannes Picht is discussed, who noticed a striking coincidence between his idea and a patient's narrative about a serious car accident. The author raises the question of how this coincidence fits with Freud's statement about transference and countertransference. She suggests that the story of the accident could be a cover memory that conceals an earlier, unconscious trauma. The joint work on defense mechanisms leads to a deeper relationship between the patient and the analyst. However, the psychoanalytic framework can be experienced as unbearable and attacked. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of accepting the decisions of the patients. The text discusses various concepts and approaches in psychoanalysis, particularly in relation to truth and the representation of unrepresented states. It is emphasized that truth is constructed in the psychoanalytic process and depends on the relationship between analyst and patient. The text refers to various authors such as Picht, von Uexküll, and Winnicott to explain these concepts. It is also noted that interpretations and hypotheses in psychoanalysis should not be considered as historical truth, but as attempts to create meaning and continue living.
