Psychodiagnostics is a brief assessment, based on a set of instruments, which can help obtain various forms of understanding, depending on the orientation of the epistemological and theoretical work. The aim of this investigation is to understand the psychodynamics of the symptom carrier in a family during the psychodiagnostic process. It consists in two case studies, based on a document analysis of psychodiagnostic processes, interpreted in the light of the theory of Psychoanalysis of bond configurations. The results suggest that the symptom carrier also plays an intermediary role between the indicated patient and the family, producing a therapeutic effect and creating the demand for the most appropriate treatment. Likewise, it was possible to observe that the indicated patient also play an intermediate role among the different dimensions of subjectivity of the family.

Keywords : psychodiagnostics; intersubjectivity; psychoanalysis.
