she is now undergoing for the first time. The failures of the deficient environment prevented a meeting from happening at the earliest subjectivation stages. Nemirovsky compares edition to the creation of Winnicott’s subjective object. Based on a meeting with an object, a new object is created that had not been in the subject’s psyche until then. The created object is different from the object provided by the environment. The term edition refers to situations that appear for the first time, that are unprecedented, new (they are not repeated in the treatment but happen there for the first time). It can be clearly distinguished from re-edition or repetition (which Freud uses to describe the repetition of childhood history in neuroses or transference neuroses). In several papers, and especially in his latest book, “Lo disruptivo y lo traumático. Vivencias y experiencias” [The Disruptive and the Traumatic: Lived Experiences and Experiences], Moty Benyakar (2016) describes “interpretations based on lived experiences,” which aim to address each patient’s unique capacity to internally process their experiences. In this way, we could avoid resorting to general ‘causal interpretations’, which may be ineffective with certain types of patients. Interpretations based on lived experiences encompass three types, namely, “figurative interpretations,” “relational interpretations,” and “meaning interpretations”. Gustavo Lanza Castelli (2015) discusses the concept of mentalization, and defines it as a predominantly preconscious activity, often intuitive and emotional. This activity allows us to understand our own and others’ behavior in terms of mental states and processes. Guillermo Lancelle (1984, 1999) introduced Kohut’s work to Argentinian therapists, resulting in adoption of Kohut’s concepts by many intersubjectivist Latin American authors. Painceira (1997, 2002), Pelento (1992) and Valeros (1977), in turn, would introduce and thoroughly examine Winnicottian thought in Latin America, with similar results. Abel Fainstein has written extensively from a viewpoint, which is compatible with the intersubjective perspective. In “Lo repetido y lo nuevo: las intervenciones del analista” [The Repeated and The New: The analyst’s interventions], Fainstein (2007), raises interesting questions tied to contemporary psychoanalytic practice, proposing that allowing for occasional satisfaction during the treatment of resistant patients by way of calculated fluctuations in analytic neutrality may be of value sometimes greater than however brilliant interpretation (Fainstein, 2007). Also in Argentina, outside traditional psychoanalytic institutions, Ricardo Rodulfo (2010-2012, Oral Communication with Nemirovsky) has made significant contributions to intersubjectivity theory and clinical practice. His original perspective integrates theoretical and clinical propositions of Freud, Klein, Winnicott and their followers, as well as French theorists. He maintains a blog (http://www.ricardorodulfo.com), which is especially devoted to child psychoanalysis. Jeanette Dryzun (2017), based on Hugo Bleichmar, Daniel Stern, Bjon Killingmo, and Jessica Benjamin, among others, discusses the notion of intimacy within the conceptual field of contemporary psychoanalysis. She understands intimacy as a relational experience that expands the boundaries of the self and creates an emotional and mental mutuality among
