Speech is one of the main tools of psychotherapy. This represent an obstacle to the treatment of congenital deaf patients who do not use the oral language. Here we aim to analyze processes of psychic construction in deaf patients who use sign language, its relationship with the linguistic modality and indicate possible considerations for psychotherapy whit this population. We carried out a mutiple case study through a psychotherapy program, planned to attend three congenital deaf subjects fron the deal community of São José do Rio Preto –SP, selected by lot, from a private clinical record. The program was structured in 26 sessions, developed by a psychoanalyst versed in the Brazilian Sign Language. The sessions tool place an individual and systematic basis, aiming to observe the patterns in the development of mental processes, held once a week, lasting 50 minutes. For data analysis we used Spink’s Association Maps and Trees (2010). The results indicate that differences in the semiotic system of language in congenital deaf people determine adaptations in the psychic development of these patients due the psychotherapeutic treatment for deaf people must take place in their own semiotic system, symbolic organization and culture.
