Psychoalytic consultation is an interview with a patient who will not be taken for treatment by the analyst consultant, but who will be addressed to another college, may be specifically chosen after one or more evaluation sessions. This practice is increasingly taking place since, or, apart from the traditional case of the existence of private relations between consultants and patients, it is common in a number of affiliated specialist centres with official psychanalytic institutions. Some fundamental aspects of this situation and the internal attitude of the interviewee are explained in this article: motivation to learn, Ecoute’s “concave” attitude, responsibility for proposing technical choices that are adequate and to know to another specialist, empathy and partial identification, the balance between genuine experience in consultation and the risk of seating, internal links within the colleges community, and the technique to send a patient. The author gives a specific clinical example of the analyst’s internal attitude and the necessary work that makes it difficult for a patient to start psychanalytic work.
