La psychanalyse impliquee ou De la rencontre entre interpregte-psychanalyste et interprete-musicien. / "Involved psychoanalysis": or An encounter between a psychoanalyst interpreter and a musician interpreter

Journal/Book: Psychanalyse a l'Universite. 1991; 16: 111-121.

Abstract: Explores a topic to which Freud neglected to apply psychoanalytic inquiry, namely music and musical interpretation. Freud's motivation for this exclusion may be his idealization of his mother and his desire to distance himself from the highly cathexed sound of the maternal voice. Yet, the human voice is the favorite instrument of the "talking cure." The author's perspective is that of a psychoanalyst involved with music and deeply interested in the psychodynamics of musical interpretation. Psychoanalysis and music share the need for interpretation, and repetition is a concept always associated both with musical interpretation and psychoanalytic production. The author wonders whether music, transformed into "musicanalysis," may interpret its own interpreter. (English & Spanish abstracts)

Note: analogy of processes of musical & psychoanalytic interpretation
