Freud understood psychoanalysis as a linguistic phenomenon and emphasized the significance of words as essential tools in the treatment of the soul. Danielle Quinodoz builds on this. Through clinical examples, she demonstrates how important it is to find a language that resonates with patients, words that touch them, and through which it is possible to engage imagination, intellect, feelings, and sensations, so that the dimension of the unconscious can be opened in the transference relationship between the analyst and their patient.
