Descripción:This text explores the connection between art and psychoanalysis through the question: What role does creation play in psychoanalytic technique? It proposes that creation is not opposed to technique, but rather traverses and sustains it. The discussion centers on how both art and analysis allow access to subjectivity through what is irreducible and unspeakable. It is argued that psychoanalytic technique is not a set of fixed rules, but a flexible structure that transforms according to each case, and therefore requires invention. A triad is proposed—transference, a particular trait, and uprising—as key elements that articulate psychoanalysis as a creative practice. The main conclusion asserts that there is no psychoanalysis without creation: the analyst’s invention in action is a necessary condition for the subject to re-signify their internal world. In this way, psychoanalysis affirms itself not as a closed doctrine, but as a living practice.
