Particular emphasis is given to Pasche's view on the specific verticality in the relation between the ego and superego, and on its evolution. Pasche conceptualises the transformation of this relation from primary admiration and idealization towards an impersonal superego, which he describes as <i>apophatic</i> - defined by what it is not. In doing so, Pasche outlines an ethical horizon that is central to his conception of psychoanalysis, and more specifically of the analyst's inner stance. These ideas are discussed more precisely in reference to some of his other papers. Beyond Pasche's concepts, further reflection is given to the relationship between the ego and the superego and to the way it evolves, notably through processes of de-identification.</p>","PeriodicalId":48022,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychoanalysis","volume":"106 6","pages":"1211-1219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146107945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the digital age, where clinical material circulates widely and remains permanently accessible, this tension has become more acute. We argue that anonymisation should not be reduced to the concealment of details regarding our patients but understood as a transformation process akin to mentalisation: a way of reshaping raw experience into a narrative that can be shared without falsifying the therapeutic encounter. Preserving clinical truth requires placing the therapeutic alliance and the patient's trust at the centre of the writing process. Yet we must also remember that anonymisation is never neutral. For patients belonging to minoritised communities, such as LGBTQIA+ individuals, alterations intended to protect privacy may risk reproducing forms of misrecognition, thereby committing epistemic injustice. We propose that case-writing must be guided by a relational ethic: cultivating humility, openness, and disciplined curiosity to sustain trust and safeguard the therapeutic alliance, while distributing responsibility for confidentiality across the psychotherapeutic community as a whole.</p>","PeriodicalId":48022,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychoanalysis","volume":"106 6","pages":"1180-1187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146108003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
