ABSTRACT
In the intimacy that develops between friends and between collaborators, they try to unravel mysteries of the mind. One of them, perhaps the greatest, is that of the development of the personality, and within that mystery, another: that of intimacy. Intimacy is a strange encounter with the other, which astonishes and challenges, moves and resists, and makes us long for it, which we often seek but do not find, and which we suddenly find, like a flower on the road, without having foreseen it. Emotional and intimate relationships become a fundamental theme of psychoanalytic thought because they are the ones that make it possible to unveil the process of the construction of the object and the constitution of the subject based on the group and family model of the mind. Boundaries and distance are fundamental conditions for intimate relationships.
