Starting from the very roots of psychoanalysis and by using the image of a military aeronautics manoeuvre called “Pugačëv’s Cobra”, in this article the Author intends to explore and demonstrate the usefulness and efficacy of unexpected brief interventions in the foreign patient’s mother language. Drawing on clinical samples, the essay focuses on the strategic use of these ex-pressions and jargony filler words, as well as gestures, all with intense affective val-ue and, as such, that enable the therapist to approach both the patient’s affective area and the sense-of-self, despite the patient defending and protecting these inner spaces.
Keywords: foreigner patient, language, intervention, affective action, Pugachev’s Cobra, psychoanalysis.
