In her book "Tales of Love", Julia Kristeva states that "first among the moderns, Sigmund Freud, a post-Romanticist, thought of turning the act of love into a cure". In the late part of the 19th century, Freud began a life long work of developing the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Presented with all kind of mental suffering, inexplicable physical symptoms and relational miseries, Freud decided to listen, to listen in a very particular way to what his patients said.
