In the past, for a psychoanalyst everything was "easier": precise concepts, defined systems of therapeutic technique, a structured and little questionable theoretical universe. The Freudian effort to give order to the unconscious clashed with a range of successive innovations that not only overcame the notion of drive as a pivotal element of the psyche, but introduced models and processes of patient change no longer necessarily linked to interpretative technique. Will psychoanalysis succeed in meeting the challenge of the times? This posthumous writing of our dear departed colleague is an encouragement to all of us who are still here to fight, a gift and a spiritual testament.
