PETRY, Paulo Padilla. The psychoanalyst's position: impasses and alternatives. Estilos clin. [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.25, pp. 210-231. ISSN 1415-7128.

Without being reduced to a technique but not excluding it, the analyst's work is based upon his unconscious and his position towards the patients' conflicts doesn't involve the lack of desire. Aiming at investigating the clinical psychologist's discourses about their own work and considering the Freudian and Lacanian theories about the analyst's desire and position, three case studies were done with three clinical psychologists that work within a psychoanalytical framework. The results show the possibility of admitting conflicts with the patients and problems to define their own work. It seems that the analyst should be disconnected from theoretical ideals.

Palavras-chave : psychoanalyst's position; psychoanalytic technique; psychoanalyst's desire.
