Abstract

Following my view of the couple, this paper retraces the course taken by suffering couples who finally decide to consult a specialist, a couple's psychoanalyst. I shall describe its principal phases, from the circumstances of the first consultation to the objectives and benefits expected of psychoanalytic work with couples, including technical aspects I introduced in this field of practice. Then, I offer readers a clinical illustration choosing the problems surrounding contemporary extraconjugality with Alice and Jean, and I formulate a personal view on this issue.
