| Izvleček: | In his book Devenirs trans de l’analyste [Trans Becomings of the Analyst], Nicolas Evzonas traces the history of relationships between gender, transidentity, and psychoanalysis, taking examples from Freud (Dora), Winnicott (the patient from Nothing at the Centre) and from his own clinical practice (surgical transition). Drawing on the enigmatic gender messages theorized by Laplanche, which are fueled by a mytho-symbolism specific to a given era, Evzonas shows that gender is indeed a narrative identity. The analyst must listen to transgender patients without theoretical preconceptions that might distort the clinical countertransference. In a changing society, the analyst must dare to “become trans.” This crossing, while challenging in the event of hormonal or surgical transition (like in Evzonas' clinical context), is equally difficult in cases of “simple” social transition. In this review of Evzonas's book, Emmanuèle Sandron completes her analysis with examples from her own clinical practice. She considers transidentity as an enigmatic message addressed to the other, and sees the psychoanalyst as an ever-evolving narrative identity. |
