Psychoanalysis is a theory of the human mind, a therapy for mental distress, an instrument of research, and a profession—a complex intellectual, medical and sociological phenomenon. Psychoanalysis privileges the ethics of unconscious desire and the desire of the analyst in the experience of analysis. It, therefore, seeks to involve the individual's singularity in relation to their wish. It is an invitation to leave the morals of customs and ideals of adaptation to reality, to enter another scene, to the logic of the unconscious. Psychoanalysis is a practice that allows human beings to include in their life the unbearable without transforming them into suffering. Keeps the invitation to risk alive and bet on keeping the wish alive. It is the best treatment for anguish, as it withdraws its paralysing character and turns it into an engine, making it invent creative and unique responses. This is the treatment of the strength of each person, the treatment with his unconscious “which causes by being talkative to be held accountable for the invention of his unique style to enjoy his body and life” (Forbes, 2010, p. 11). Psychoanalysis is based on the recognition of a particular trauma, which is one of each, and is a means of producing recognition and, then, a sense.
