The author to observe that the recurrence in the clinic is the valorization centered on the execution, the doing, the content (♂), which is proper to the male function, to the detriment of the continent (♀) that shelters it, damaging the possible creative encounter between both. She noted in Bion this concern (as she thus apprehended), when he pointed out that “in psychoanalytical setting, before ♀♂ can work, we must find the continent (♀)”. (Bion, W., 1963/2004, p. 53).

Through clinical material, she develops her thinking, contemplating that “finding it” may be the feminine work to be done, to discover and / or constitute the continent (♀), the internal space - proper to the feminine - with all the difficulties that such a movement seeks, always dynamic and renewable, for the eternal becoming. The author also suggests that the continent (♀) lived through the maternal internal and external holding, psychically inscribes elements of support / helplessness, lack / dependence, underlying the experience, in conjunction with the feminine inscribed in us.
