Then we will turn to considerations of two quite different moments
of psychoanalytic transmission via the study of a case:
these are testimonies of the pass; and the presentation of a case
made by an analyst to their supervisor.
How is the “case” represented in these different moments of transmission?
How is the case made, how is it written and read?
How is the case spoken and heard?
