This article provides an interdisciplinary dialogue between psychoanalysis and gender studies. From discourse analysis with a psychoanalytic approach, it addresses the opacities and tensions that underlie the relationship between psychotherapist and patient in gender-sensitive (G-S) and feminist psychotherapies, considering interviews with 8 therapists and 8 patients. Currently, these psychotherapeutic spaces have gained ground by being presented in the social imaginary as devices exempt from patriarchal judgments. As they are usually occupied by women, they assume an understanding of shared gender discontents, which would lead to the feminist aspiration to reduce intersubjective asymmetry. This would generate an illusion of horizontality that would contribute to annulling the therapist-consultant difference. Consequently, they propose non-neutrality as a clinical-political interventional tool that would generate psychotherapeutic effects by recognizing the cultural suffering of the subject. However, this leads to the psychoanalytic question of how to situate singularity in this reading. Therefore, this paper offers a reading of feminist and G-S psychotherapies that proposes to transcend the imaginary aspect of the transference around which they are articulated; at the same time considering their valuable contribution of gender as a lens to analyze gendered histories.
