Micropsychoanalysis

{{Short description|Psychotherapy method}}

Micropsychoanalysis is a psychotherapy method. A basic form of micropsychoanalysis was first conceived in the 1950s by Swiss psychiatrist Silvio FantiL'Humanitè (July 5th 1997). [https://www.humanite.fr/-/-/la-mort-de-silvio-fanti La mort de Silvio Fanti]Bibliothèque Laffont des grands thèmes (1975) Freud et la psychanalyse, Editions Grammont, Lausanne. pp. 139-140. {{ISBN|2827000172}}.

Micropsychoanalysis has the free association technique as its cornerstone. However, micropsychoanalysis changed the practice of psychoanalysis with new and other theoretical concepts.Illustratofiat (September, 1983). La micropsicoanalisi per battere le nevrosi. p.30 [https://www.flickr.com/photos/33540710@N05/4448048896/] The aim of micropsychoanalysis is the study of the psychic apparatus and the establishment of a better psychosomatic homeostasis.

The aim of these technical innovations is to facilitate the labour of free association and the establishment of a bridge with reality.Pierre Codoni (under supervision of) (2007) Micropsychanalyse. L’Esprit du Temps. pp. 85 y sigs. {{ISBN|978-2-84795-099-1}}. [http://www.rue-des-livres.com/livre/2847951210/]

A micropsychoanalysis can be completed in about one year if working uninterruptedly or in about three years if working in installments of 6–9 weeks every year.Veronique Caillat (04/2008) La micropsychanalyse en Nervure-Journal de Psychaiatrie. num 3- Volume XXI. pp. 14-17. {{ISSN|0988-4068}}.

In the theoretical aspect, Fanti introduced the concepts of energy and void.Silvio Fanti (1981) L’Homme en micropsychanalyse Denoël/Gonthier. Paris. D. L. nº ed. 849, nº impr. 2145. He also introduced the idea of the existence of different levels in the structure of the psyche put forward by Freud. For example, the unconscious and preconscious-conscious systems would comprise different levels of internal structure. According to the micropsychoanalytical model, instincts (trieb) surge from the energy, specifically from the tensional difference between energy and void.Daniel Lysek (1997) La notion d’inconscient chez Freud et en micropsychanalyse Rev. de la Société Internationale de Micropsychanalyse num. 2. Favre. {{ISBN|2-8289-0619-1}}.

Independence

Micropsychoanalysis is an independent movement of the IPA (International Psychoanalytical Association) or of the Lacanian movement nor of the International Association for Analytical Psychology.

Origin of micropsychoanalysis

A combination of coincidental events led Silvio Fanti to modify the methodology of Freudian psychoanalysis. Firstly, he increased the length and frequency of sessions. Later on, and gradually, Fanti introduced what he called the technical innovations and developed a practice and theory specifically micropsychoanalytical.

In 1973, Fanti moved definitively to Couvet (Switzerland) where, with the help of his collaborators Pierre Codoni, Pierre Evard, Daniel Lysek and Nicola Peluffo, he formulated the main tenets of micropsychoanalysis. On April 24, 1974, under his patronage, the Société Internationale de Micropsychanalyse (S.I.M.),Society registered in the Commercial Register of Switzerland (Handelsregister), under [http://www.moneyhouse.ch/u/societe_internationale_de_micropsychanalyse_CH-645.0.601.066-6.htm number CH-645.0.601.066-6] was constituted in Switzerland gathering the practitioners of the method discovered and developed by Silvio Fanti, denominated micropsychoanalysis.
