Money defines the individuality

When we pay with money we are making, confirming, corroborating our radical separation (no connection), who charges us.

Who gets what I produce, they have to pay me or work with me so I can keep producing?

When psychoanalysis works as a therapeutic procedure, requires that the fees paid analysand to the analyst.

Why have to pay?

A superficial answer would say, (and rightly so), you have to pay because the analyst is someone who has personal and family expenses, like anyone else.

A more elaborate, more inaccessible ... but why not more valuable, you can say that the money goes to the patient's hands to the hands of the analyst has the symbolic power as well so you are both clear on who are the psychological difficulties that are being analyzed.

In other words: when the patient out of pocket money to pay professional fees, being aware that psychological problems are yours, only yours and nobody else's.

Meanwhile, when the analyst is receiving that money is being aware that psychological problems are not yours, is being aware that you should not get involved in the situation of the analysand, even eager to help you feel like a brother.

Repeat the initial question: "Who gets what I produce, they have to pay me or work with me so I can continue to produce?"

As we saw in the analytical treatment, money separates people: the limited each to its strict individuality.

When a man pays a prostitute is becoming clear that he does not love her and when she takes the money is becoming clear that she does not love.

Very different would be if she had sex with his friend because both enjoy indulging each other.
