| Summary: | The author's intention is to underline how the concept of enactment makes its appearance, first on a psychodynamic level and then on an official level, with Jacobs' 1986 article. The formalisation of the term is accompanied by the necessary distinction between enactment and mono-personal concepts such as acting out and projective identification. The enactment, stressing the interactive nature of the analytical dialogue, has forced psychoanalysts to rework the traditional theory of reference and to search for key points of representational sharing made possible by the APA panel in 1992. The theme of self-disclosure will be addressed in the light of the theoretical-clinical transformations introduced by the recognition of the relational nature of analytical therapy. Finally, the theme of enactment, will be treated in the light of the author's personal representation, taking into account the necessary distinction between enactment and interaction, the complexity and dialectical logic in which this dynamic is inscribed.
