This article is meant as a contribution to the theoretical underpinnings of clinical and political psychoanalytic practice. This ethical, political and epistemological field that addresses the specificities of subjects and the difficulties related to their processes in contexts of violence and exclusion are discussed. Based on experience with immigrants, migrants and refugees, the text describes the bases of work centered on the clinic of traumatic events, rather than on symptoms, and focuses especially on the particularities of psychoanalytic listening within these contexts. Collective interventions are also discussed.
