title: [The sexual " acting-in " between therapists and clients or the breakaway of words : on the subject of lost words and frantic bodies.].
abstract: The topic of sexual relationships between patients and therapists is taboo between the persons involved. This article deals with the sexual acting-in from a psycho-analytical point of view based on clinical hypotheses gathered from meetings with women involved in such acting in and from a theoretical reflexion. What seems evident for those women, is, behind an oedipal coloration, the basic question of the connexion with the need and therefore a difficulty with the symbolisation process: the relationship with the therapist becomes a hand to hand fighting without the possibility of an opening for the expression of the word which is one of the therapy's main objective. This article, while leaving open the question of the therapist's desire, deals with the avoidance, on both sides, of the transfer's elaboration which remains at the core of the sexual acting-in.
