In the contribution, starting from the framing of the element of hope as a peculiar aspect of the intimate relationship between analyst and patient, through the analysis of a clinical case, the author reflects on the link between repetition, hope and repair in the psychoanalytic pro-cess. It describes how hope is linked to the phenomenon of transfer-ence, the latter, initially considered at the service of resistance, in the evolution of psychoanalytic theory and technique becomes a founding pillar of the therapeutic process and a crucial aspect for achieving the cure. The author highlights the need to build an internal and relational position with respect to particularly complex clinical situations, such as the one described, highlighting constant work on the transference-countertransference dialectic. The analysis of one’s own countertrans-ference is a fundamental aspect to grasp the patient’s positionings, to guide the analyst to position himself in such a way as to distinguish himself from the ancient scenes proposed by the patient, reedited in the present, and to offer an experience of understanding and of care that is incisively transformative.
Keywords: hope and repair in the psychoanalytic process, transfor-mation, transference, countertransference.
