The present article proposes to investigate the psychosomatic phenomenon in the psychoanalytic clinic from the Freudo-Lacanian propositions. First, we will differentiate the converting symptom in the hysteria of the bodily affection in psychosomatic, presenting the distance between a symptom and a clinical phenomenon. We understand that psychosomatics differently from the symptom does not carry a message that can be interpreted, it is rather an effect of a writing that cannot be read. A writing that, without the proper ascent to the symbolic, remains crystallized in the field of jouissance, therefore, without psychic representation. In order to undertake this discussion, we will bring the notion of letter in Lacan and, finally, we will problematize the possibilities of psychoanalysis in the cases of psychosomatics.

Keywords : Psychosomatics; Symptom; Hysteria; Writing; Letter.
