This article aims to highlight how Matte Blanco’s theorization of the unconscious as infinite sets, it has important clinical implication that the analytical com-munity does not yet seem to have picked up. Perhaps the formulation of the unconscious in logical terms, keeps most psycho-analysts, who seem more inclined to deal with psychological and non-logical concepts. This work aims to show how the logic introduced by Matte Blanco, is not a metaphorical mathematics, but rather, the heart of the functioning of the uncon-scious.
