This article presents a reflection and argumentation about the nature of silence in a new era of distance therapies. The existence of a voracious silence is conceptualized that in no way reflects the contemplative silence that could be experienced in the traditional (in-person) setting. Additionally, the presence of factors that cannot be present due to the nature of this new non-present therapeutic modality is discussed. These factors are, in turn, crucial for the normal progress of a psychoanalysis. Through this exhibition we aim to think about the future and fate of the psychoanalytic method, taking into account the preposition that silence is an essential/crucial phenomenon for psychoanalysis and also for the progress of the subjective world itself.
