The aim of this paper is to show the group perspectives of the Children Laboratory of the Asociación Psicoanalítica del Uruguay (APU) supported on a clinical vignette that starts with a girl’s act, the transgressive character
of which prompts different responses from the analyst (gesture, act, silence, words, drawing, etc.). Interpretation, act, acting, regression, transference – countertransference and the analyst as a real person, are some of the ideas that the vignette lends itself to consider. Concerning the value of interpretation in child Psychoanalysis, the paper indicates the importance of providing words that can account for what has been played, felt, experienced and its inscription in a shared story, a starting point for new processes of working through for both members of the analytic couple. The authors also underline the vital importance of the activity of playing itself, with its possibilities for working through. Finally, in a new approach to the vignette, the group works on the role of child sexuality and its role in transference and counter-transference.
