Summary. Adler never deepened the concepts of Transference and Countertransference in his works. Today we often meet these concepts in the individual-psychological language and these words have a wider meaning of relation than the driving model of Psychoanalysis. The Individual Psychology considers both Transference and Countertransference as intense expressions of life style determined by the emotiveness bursting out during the therapeutic situation. The analytical experience is an encounter and a clash between two life styles, the patient’s one and the analyst’s one, and their affective and emotional dynamics in the hic et nunc of the setting weave a new and original “story” which follows an unique and unrepeatable itinerary, orientated towards an aim, during which the couple evolves. The analyst, by the encouragement process, tries “to share” the private logic of the patient who “corrupts” the private logic of the analyst in a game of “reciprocal contamination”. With the interactive game of the “as if”, the patient teaches the analyst to consider him and to understand him as he is and he obliges the analyst to suffer his own deficit of Self and his own wounds. The prepared and courageous analyst, who has dismantled the “reinforced fiction” of the need of continuous narcissistic gratification towards the professional self-representation, can afford himself the risky adventure to plunge in a dual relation which involves inevitable dynamics of Transference and Countertransference.

Summary. In the presence of changes in the school and uneasiness in Teachers and in students are describe some experiences of clinical training which try to understand and follow psycho-dynamic aspects of teaching and of learning. Fundamental is the institution of training moments for school operators which utilize methodologies and instruments imported from the psychotherapeutic setting, so it is possible to have supervision meetings which contain the emotional aspects noticed by teachers during the clinical pedagogic settings established in classroom with their students. The instrument utilized to realize the meetings with the students is constituted by narrative pieces which spur evocations, projections and identifications. The management way and the observance of the rules of groups promote a real development of the social feeling whether in the trainig of teachers or in the moments of institution of clinical-pedagogic settings with students.

Summary. The adaptation of the child Mozart to his father’s need of realization, the resulting affective lacks and the heavy activity of musician he has to assume from his childhood, contribute to radicate a deep doubt to be loved simply as a man. The feeling to be undervalued, the resulting state of doubt and inferiority, originate the wish to rise to reach that compensation and perfection witnessed by his music and which manifest themselves though the ability to sublimate from his sufferings producing a music of joy.
