title: [Two authors in search of persons. The relationship, the field, the history].
abstract: The story developing within the two-person field of the psychoanalytic situation is usually interpreted in terms of transference phenomena of body fantasies. Ferro, by contrast, elects a narratological approach. He traces the way in which micro-stories develop within the psychoanalytic field reflecting the unconscious psychic collaboration between the two participants. The point of analysis is creative narrative, not precise reconstruction. With reference to a number of actual cases, the author argues that in each psychoanalytic interview "persons" are created expressing the projective identifications taking place between the participants. The result is a story of the psychoanalytic couple in which sense impressions from early childhood assume a subsequent significance.
