Through the clinical case of a couple psychoanalysis, the paper shows the complexity of the relationship between jealousy and the primary relationship experienced by each partner. The author shows how jealousy with its enigmatic aspects tends to mask pragmatic infan-tile dimensions connected to emotion and affect regulation (Atlas, 2023) and embodies a re-actualization of the aesthetic conflict theorised by Meltzer (1981). The focus is on the dynam-ics of recognition in the couple and in the transference with the analyst: jealousy leads the partners not to recognize each other and not to recognize themselves; the analytical work opens for them a freer and deeper path of knowledge capable of tolerating ambivalence and com-plexity, towards shared thinkability.
Keywords: jealousy, aesthetic conflict, recognition, primary relationship, knowledge.
