Στόχος της είναι η ανάδειξη της ενικότητας του συμπτώματος και της μοναδικότητας (της επιθυμίας) του κάθε υποκειμένου. Αντιμετωπίζει περιστατικά κατάθλιψης, τραυματικές εμπειρίες, κρίσεις πανικού και φοβίες, πένθος, αγχώδεις διαταραχές, προβλήματα διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων, θεραπεία ζεύγους, συμβουλευτική γονέων και παιδιών, παιδικό αυτισμό, αντιμετώπιση εθισμών και εξαρτήσεων.
