A partir de un caso, se explorarán las nociones de riesgo cierto e inminente, acting-out y angustia del analista. Cuando Lacan dice que el analista es al menos dos (1974-75), podríamos decir que a esa dupla cada tanto se le agrega un tercero: el que se queda cavilando, dando vueltas, buscando claves de lectura de aquello que lo sorprendió. Lo podemos leer desde la coordenada de la angustia, no solo en tanto que afecto que no engaña, sino también de una reacción de mayor dificultad y movimiento. ¿Cómo, desde ahí, volver a intervenir? Palabras clave Angustia - Acting-out - Riesgo cierto e inminente - Psicoanálisis ABSTRACT THE UNCOMFORTABLE HAPPINESS: ABOUT CERTAIN AND IMMINENT RISK, ACTING-OUT AND THE ANALYST’S ANGST On the basis of a case, the notions of certain and imminent risk, acting-out and anguish of the analyst will be explored. When Lacan says that the analyst is at least two (1974-75), we could say that every now and then a third is added to this duo: the one who remains pondering, turning around, looking for clues to read that which surprised him. We can read it from the coordinate of anguish, not only as an affection that does not deceive, but also as a reaction of greater difficulty and movement. How, from there, to intervene again?
