Psychoanalysis has traditionally had a complicated relationship with ethics. Determined to give psychoanalysis the status of an objective science, Freud had ambivalent ideas about the role of ethics in the analyst's practice. If, on the one hand, he stressed the ethical neutrality of psychoanalysis, on the other hand, he was aware of the ethical implications of psychoanalytic treatment. Today, the issue of the role of ethics in psychoanalysis is far from being solved for two reasons. First, clinical psychoanalysis is increasingly confronted with the complexity of the contemporary clinic, arising often ethical dilemmas and conflicts. Second, a body of abstract ethical principles has developed over time, reflecting the theoretical frameworks of philosophers, lawyers, and social scientists that have paid little attention to the ways in which health professionals actually think and act. These problems have generated a sort of disconnection between theoretical and clinical contexts, thus often making it difficult for clinical psychoanalysis and ethics to meet each other. This paper's aim is to address the issue by providing a broad overview of its many features and exploring if it is possible to harmonically bridge clinical psychoanalysis and ethics in the terrain of interdisciplinarity.
