"Despite the revolution it does, Freud continues to depend on European intellectual tools? And do not you leave in the shade certain aspects of the analytical practice that the theory could not explore? And how can you realize it, if he is not coming out of Europe?

I propose five concepts, abstracted from Chinese thinking, in which what happens in the cure could be reflected and maybe better explicit. Each one performs a phase out: the availability with respect to the attention of the psychoanalyst; the allusiveness with respect to saying the analysis; the bias with respect to the ambition of the method; the de-fixation with respect to the very bet of the cure; Silent transformation, finally, with respect to the requirement of action and its result. Further approximations showing psychoanalysis from an oblique perspective, revealing an unthinkable character. But that impendant character is not also that of European thought revealed in its prejudices? Therefore, it is pertinent to introduce Chinese thought from which these notions come from, transferred to the field of psychoanalysis, are put back to work again. "
