Το πιο σημαντικό για εμάς είναι η δημιουργία ενός χώρου συνάντησης χωρίς προκαθορισμένες απαντήσεις, μακριά από παγιωμένες πεποιθήσεις. Είναι η αποδοχή της ιδιαιτερότητας του υποκειμένου που θα μας επισκεφτεί. Η από κοινού δημιουργία ενός πλαισίου ασφάλειας και εμπιστοσύνης, όπου θα αναπνεύσει και θα εκφραστεί το προσωπικό αίτημα, μέσα από έναν τρόπο ενικό.

Διανοίγουμε έτσι την προοπτική ρήξης με το πεπρωμένο, τον εξαναγκασμό της επανάληψης, την οδύνη του συμπτώματος, την δυσφορία που αναστέλλει τη ζωή.

Έτσι, κάνοντας τομές στις προκαταλήψεις (φύλου, ηλικίας, θρησκευτικών και πάσης φύσεως κοινωνικών επιταγών) διεκδικούμε σταδιακά τον ορίζοντα της προσωπικής επιθυμίας, μέσα από διαφορετικές επιλογές.

Το πρόγραμμα του Κέντρου Ψυχαναλυτικών Ερευνών είναι εμπνευσμένο από το έργο της Section Clinique, της κλινικής διδασκαλίας η οποία ξεκίνησε την δεκαετία του ’70 στο Τμήμα Ψυχανάλυσης που ίδρυσε ο Jacques Lacan στο Πανεπιστήμιο Paris VIII.

Το θεωρητικό του υπόβαθρο περιλαμβάνει όλες τις θεμελιωμένες ψυχοδυναμικές προσεγγίσεις, αλλά η κλινική του προσέγγιση είναι λακανικού προσανατολισμού. Ο άνθρωπος που θα αποφασίσει να μπει σε ανάλυση, θα μπει σε διαπραγματεύσεις με το ασυνείδητό του, την απόλαυσή του, το σύμπτωμα και την ασυνείδητη επιθυμία του.
