The present work proposes to approximate the fundamental rule of the psychoanalytic method and the concept standpoint of speech, developed by Brazilian philosopher Djamila Ribeiro, aiming to question whether the fundamental rule of the psychoanalytic clinic (“Speak what comes to mind”) may characterize such a clinic as a standpoint of speech for your patient.

The research considers the working conditions of the psychoanalytic clinic, as well as the new proposals for psychological clinical reception, sometimes called “Psy Safe” (France). “Psy safe” are psychologists who sustain the efficiency of their clinical approach whereas there is identification from the patient to the same standpoint of speech as their psychologist's, and by such identification, there would be the possibility of a “safe” place for their patient to speak.

The approximation of the rule to a concept forged outside the psychoanalytic field pursues with ambition the possibility of answering what we question, but it demanded dialogue and dedication to bibliographies outside the psychoanalytic area, precisely, in the fields of Philosophy and Communication.
