The theoretical aim of this text is tied to the conservatory psychic function that the preliminary clinical meetings, underlain by the setting offered for receiving patients and its physico-psychic envelope character, effect more or less silently in the patient. A clinical example illustrates the unconscious temporality mobilised/immobilized in a female patient during these initial encounters and the primary mnesic condensations inscribed in the associated transferential support that the double setting of the centre of psychoanalytic treatment represented for that patient.
