From the clinical experience held in a rehabilitation center, this paper discusses the psychoanalytic treatment of psychosomatic patients in an institutional environment oriented by a medical-scientific and pedagogical discourse. It considers the hypothesis that such patients put themselves as the object of knowledge of clinical specialties that do not favor the invention of the unconsciousness, which would allow the revelation of the specific enjoyment that they are attached to. To address this issue, the study makes use of the Lacanian theory of the discourses, particularly the university and the analytical ones.
