Abstract

This article explores the intersection between psychoanalysis and translation, emphasizing their shared quest for meaning. In a transdisciplinary perspective, the study analyzes how translation informs psychoanalytic theory and care practices. The concept of translation extends beyond language, encompassing unconscious processes and care dynamics, touches the deeply sensory-engraved experiences. The support from clinical experience and case studies helps to shed light on how translation crosses various levels of care, from an individual level to group or even collective dynamics. By analyzing how language bridges the personal and collective dimensions, the authors describe translation as a fluctuating process in therapeutic relationships, revealing the intricate power structures and transformative potential inherent in the act of interpretation. The article proposes a model that combines psychoanalysis and translation, highlighting the plurality of psychic spaces and their influence on care practices.
