This article works possibilities of interventions with patients taken as intellectually disabled. After introducing the clinical case, we present the notion of intellectual disability, its history and place in the therapeutic field. We then highlight psychoanalytical contributions to the subject, to comprehend the psychic processes involved in the situation, from the intellectual inhibition to the unspoken family matters and the traumatic intergenerational transmission. Finally, the theory is articulated with aspects of the case. We conclude about the importance for psychotherapists and treatment teams to be familiar with the subject, considering the importance of psychic and relational aspects on symptomatic productions related to learning. Regarding institutional treatment contexts, we emphasize the flexibility of the clinical settings, allowing individual, group and familiar interventions according to the treatment moment.
