This article aims to return its countenance to silence from its first intrauterine origin to the boundaries it institutes in the psychological maturation of the subject. This will permit us to situate its evolution from the symbiotic to the symbolic, highlighting the way in which it participates paradoxically in naming the subject. We aim to illustrate, through the case of a patient, the way in which the rejection of silence blocks the path of subjectivation, and we will also see how the analytical clinical can help to ensure that the silence of absence may emerge in a place of subjectivation.
