This work aims to reflect on the field and the formation of psychoanalysis. Under the grasp of capitalism, psychic suffering is alarming in various social spaces, representing panoramas of misery, violence, and illness. Humanity needs transitional environments marked by a language that enables healthy relationships in communicative action and fosters the concept of eco-psychoanalysis. The current scenario, filled with environmental catastrophes, precarious conditions, totalitarian regimes, and severe intolerances, profoundly transforms the clinical practice. What can be done? Can another world be possible? Isn’t this what psychoanalysis aspires to? That people may exercise the politics of their desires, preserve the environment, take better care of themselves, and be happier? Freud in his work, presented himself as a revolutionary researcher, laying the foundation for a word-based clinical practice and discovering its praxis. For whom and for what do we work? Our formation is material: it flows, constantly moving and transforming. Episteme never stops or ceases its motion. Psychoanalysis dialogues with other theories horizontally. Dialectical materialism identifies contradictions in difficult times. From its social perspective, psychoanalysis acts by listening to human experiences in their diversity: it co-participates and interacts with the psychosocial care model grounded in the concept of comprehensive health, focusing on mental health promotion and prevention. Seeking treatment is an action of self-discovery, a step that already fosters hope. The feeling of emptiness signals dehumanization, a detachment from life, experienced as panic and anguish. There is always a beginning: a collective and democratic renewal.
