From the psychosomatic phenomenon to the symptom: the adherence. This work aims to discuss the psychoanalytic practice applied to subjects that present psychosomatic phenomena, by means of two different analytical experiments: one of them taking place in a training clinic, and the other one in a medical institution for motor rehabilitation. The cases presented here enabled a reflection over the possibilities of repositioning of the subject in the relation with her/his own body, as they highlight the transition from a subjective position, marked by an adherence to the medical diagnosis, to another one in which the subject recognizes herself/himself by means of the formation of a symptom in the analytical sense.
