This article intends to discuss the articulation between psychoanalysis and literature, starting from the premise that both have the field of word and language as a foundation, keeping the due particularities from each of these fields. Based on the Freudian indications, contained in two letters sent to the also Viennese doctor Arthur Schnitzler, his contemporary, to discuss what approaches (and, also disjoint) the poet-writer (Dichter) from the psychoanalyst. By naming Schnitzler as his double (Doppelgänger), Freud points out the strange familiarity between the psychoanalytical and literary procedures. In order to frame the question, a brief incursion will be made into the German notion of Kultur, as it characterizes the common ground of both Freud and Schnitzler. However, Freud distances himself from the perspective contained in the idea of self-cultivation (Bildung), integrating part of Kultur, as he introduces within the civilization, an irreducible discomfort.
