This text is a contribution to the history of psychoanalysis in Tunisia through the creation of the AFPEC (Association of Psychoanalysis and Clinical Exchanges), founded in 2011 in the aftermath of the Tunisian revolution, the starting point of the “Arab Spring”. It is a reflection on the dissemination of psychoanalysis, and the pitfalls and difficulties encountered during these pioneering experiments, which nevertheless remain, due to their imperfections and sometimes thanks to them, indispensable milestones in the transmission of psychoanalysis. This text also looks at the effects of politics on the dissemination of psychoanalysis. Tunisia has experienced major political upheavals in recent years: a revolution that put an end to more than fifty years of dictatorship, followed by a decade of democracy. How has psychoanalysis been affected? What is the impact of the political dimension on the psychic reality of the patient and the analyst?
