This essay is dedicated to poetics in clinical psychoanalysis, understood as the possibility of pain elaborating and the emerging of creative processes from the hearing, by the Psychoanalyst, of the testimonial of someone who is in pain. Referring to a quite heterogeneous group of authors, from Sándor Ferenczi to Jacques Derrida, from Nicolas Abraham to Emmanuel Lévinas and Paul Celan, this essay points out the threads that weave the ethics of caring, category that lies among the frontiers of psychoanalysis, philosophy and literature, that inspires the conception of “two person psychoanalysis”.
