L’assiomatica del pensiero di Sandor Ferenczi. Uno studio sul modello teorico-clinico di Sandor Ferenczi

The authors, via the application of Riolo’s axiomatic methodology,1 set themselves the objective of tracing the contributions of Sandor Ferenczi in his Clinical Diary with regard to the developments in contemporary psychoanalysis. The choice of the Clinical Diary was motivated both by the fact that this was Ferenczi’s last text, and because the journal form allows one to grasp the author’s nascent thinking on concepts that go on to have subsequent developments. The result was that of “extracting” the fundamental assumptions, which in theory constitute a seminal legacy, to allow for a more accurate understanding of Ferenczi’s theory and technique. We are hoping that our work may help guide and encourage further and innovative studies on this important Hungarian author’s thinking.
