Based on the quantic formulas of sexuation, this article describes the contribution of psychoanalysis to the debate of gender issues related to the subject of parental alienation and, in general, to the impasses caused by the judicialization of family relationships. To this end, we perform a literature review of authors who show the relations and differences between the method and the discourse of psychoanalysis on the one hand and, on the other hand, family law. We conclude that psychoanalysis clarifies the tendency of law, governed by the universal of phallic jouissance, to repudiate alterity and singularity inscribed in the field of Other jouissance or feminine jouissance.
