The present paper discusses the use of the psychoanalytical technique in individual psychotherapy treatment in school-clinics, focusing the change of therapists that may occur during the process. The change happens when the term of the therapist at the institution is over or even for other reasons that require the change of the professional. The items to reflect and discuss over this text are: the probable differences among patients in the process of changing therapists and the setting of new transferences, mainly the psychotics or borderlines. It could be painful for these patients to be apart from one therapist and rely on another one. This suffering may raise doubts about the excellence of such treatments. Another item to be taken into account is the attention given by the institutions to these patients, as well as the remaining time of both professionals and patients in the institution.
