Episode 6 – TransferenceWhat is transference, really? Is it a bond, a projection, a repetition — or something more structural?In this episode, Neil Gorman and Isolda Alvarez explore transference from a Lacanian orientation: the analyst as function rather than person, the subject supposed to know, unconscious certainty, and the role of jouissance in shaping how we relate to others. Through clinical examples — including fighting as a mode of relating and the “test” of the analyst — they discuss how repetition encounters something new in analysis, creating the possibility for change.They also begin circling a provocative question to be taken up next time: Is being a psychoanalyst actually easier than people think?Watch out for that certainty.---The Article Neil referred to, about each analyst being the product of their own cure was: The Rhinoceros and the Desire of the Analyst, by Bruno de Halleux, in Psychoanalytical Notebooks 36.---Table of Contents: 00:25 Podcast Kickoff  01:18 Why Talk Transference  01:54 Defining Transference Lacanian  03:48 Engine and Obstacle  05:04 Analyst Function Not Person  05:44 Bond Versus Transference  09:03 Unconscious and Supposed Know  11:05 Jouissance Gaze and Voice  14:04 Reading the Analyst Role  18:26 Case Example Fighting  22:12 Repetition Meets New Response  23:13 Unthought Knowns  26:01 Certainty Becomes Suffering  27:06 Finding the Hidden Knowledge  27:47 Transference Reveals the Script  29:17 Analyst Desire and Curiosity  30:27 Patients Testing the Analyst  33:14 Analyst as Enigma Function  34:33 Weed Case and Nonjudgment  37:56 Analyst Subjectivity and Cure  41:48 Questioning Certainties and Jouissance  44:36 Next Episode and Closing
