Abstract
In this article we propose to discuss different forms of communication existing in the psychoanalytical clinic, beyond verbal language, based on primary symbolization processes and the importance of amplifying the analyst’s listening. Based on the writings of René Roussillon, we enter the field of intersubjectivity to reflect on a differentiated listening that will be required by the analyst for enabling the reception of different forms of communication. In these cases, something beyond the word becomes audible, revealing faults concerning the work of representation, so that more archaic symbolization processes emerge endowed with other voices, as an attempt to theoretically expand the scope of symbolization and representation.
