In externalizing their wishes about the scope of psychoanalysis beyond the limits of the private practice, Freud was calling our attention to direct our gaze to the subject and his suffering, no matter the places or conditions he could be found. At the time, Freud was already indicating a possible link between psychoanalysis and the institution. As the analytical device is one that is not restricted to the office, but that applies to any analytic setting, the present work is a result of issues articulated in the research group "Psychoanalysis, symptom and institution" and aims to discuss the doing of psychoanalysis as an expertise that provides a place for the subject, regardless of where it operates. Therefore, we believe that in health facilities it does not happen in a different way, because even though the context is different, the psychoanalytic ethics is the same. Else, if the subject tends to be excluded when in an institution governed by medical knowledge, the psychoanalytic discourse, in turn, includes the subject, as far as it favors the well-saying of desire, a discourse which refers to the unconscious. In addition, to make a few observations about this issue, we refer to a curious expression by Lacan: "a discourse without words". With it, we can think of psychoanalysis as a discursive place, that have a different doing which allows the pronouncement of the subject of the unconscious through the word, offering the listening and thus allowing the rise of the subjectivity, providing a place to the subject, on and by the discourse.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; subject; discursive place; medical knowledge; health institution.
