Every day during the therapeutic relationship we have to deal with the violence of the life of the psyche, the violence of drives and that between psychic agencies, the violence of oneiric representations, of defences etc. The therapeutic setting has realised a set of technical devices - transference, free Association, the rule of abstinence and so on - to prevent the analysis of psychic reality from being distracted, taken off course, by the events of the outer world and from losing the specificity of its own basic area of research. But the violence of History, of the Political State, of the Economic Order bursts frequently into the subject' life, and a violent fracture dissolves the gap between the psychic world and external reality. In these cases other points of view and problematic levels go alongside the dialectic concept of the complexity of the psyche, of it proceeding in a non linear way, with the metamorphosis between internal and external, actual and non actual, present and past. Psychoanalysis inscribes the formation of psychic reality in the conflict between drives and psychic agencies and with the ties of the subject' family relationships.
