Abstract: How is it that in Europe, in countries where neither geographical distances nor a lack of analysts would justify remote practices, a significant number of psychoanalysts have turned to these methods? This article aims to examine the clinical reasons behind this phenomenon, which has only expanded since the 2020 pandemic, through the lens of phobia, whether it manifests in the patient or the analyst. Are remote practices an anti-phobic solution to a situation that is most often poorly identified and unacknowledged?
