The author aims to propose some considerations on the psychoanalytical process, particularly with regard to the start of the process and its conditions for starting. By examining Freudian texts - specifically the so-called 1914 technical papers - he suggests that this process begins with a non-conscious seductive relationship started by the analyst/therapist, and even from the analytical situation itself. On the part of the patient, the author proposes the idea of a transference project, something constructed by the patient, consisting of specters on one hand, and by purposive ideas on the other, wherein the analyst/therapist has a designated role. If the analyst/therapist refuses to participate in the project, analysis/psychotherapy does not truly begin.
