In this article we will point out the differences between the psychiatric diagnosis of biological thinking and psychoanalytic diagnosis. To do so, some aspects of classical psychiatry and biological psychiatry will be presented, considering the influence psychopathology in defining the diagnostic manuals and hence the diagnostics currently used in psychiatric clinic. We will discuss the purpose of the structural diagnosis under transfer to point the direction of the treatment in psychoanalysis and to point the possibilities of approximation between diagnoses, considering the phenomenon and the structure. Lastly, we will use the study of a clinical case with diagnostic appointments from both sides.

Keywords : psychiatry; psychoanalysis; diagnosis; direction of treatment.
