Abstract: (1041 Views)

Unconscious phantasy is one of the central concepts in the field of theory and application of psychoanalysis. The importance of this concept, both clinically and theoretically, has led all schools of psychoanalysis to offer their own definition of unconscious phantasy. Given the theoretical multiplicity of this concept, it is not surprising to encounter a large number of definitions: from the classical definition, which is considered an imaginative activity representing the psychological aspect of drives, to other definitions, which it calls "the no-I experience", as we observe between the patient and the therapist. The purpose of this study is a theoretical review of the concept of phantasy in order to further clarify this concept and also investigate its role in treatment techniques. It is hoped that further clarification of this central concept will facilitate a better understanding and treatment of mental disorders.

Keywords: unconscious phantasy, psychoanalytic theories, Freud, Klein.
