This paper seeks to account for the ethics that is at stake in the psychoanalytic clinic and shows that this is an ethics of desire and not of duty; i.e., an ethics that involves the subject's singularity. It is, therefore, a case-by-case clinic instead of a generalized clinic. To this end, it develops the articulation between desire and the subject's putting-it-well, with which it is established that the basis of psychoanalysis is the ethics that subscribes the particularity of the subject's desire. This is possible because desire is instituted in the signifier articulation, from the subject's relationship with the Other; thereby, the subject makes evident his/her desire and yields his/her singularity by means of speech, of putting-it-well.
