From Freudian paradigm to Lacanian paradigm. The purpose of this paper is to underline the transformation of the paradigm present in the psychoanalytic thought when we shift from the Freudian to the Lacanian discourse that occurs by the questioning on the economy of the metaphor in that discourse, which do not work in the same way. Thus they point to the existence of the discontinuity in the psychoanalytic language when it shifts from Freud to Lacan. Yet that discontinuity is written in a background of continuity as a result of the theoretical demand inaugurated by psychoanalysis in the sense that it is dissolved to reconnect it to the demand which is inherent in it.
