This paper presents the results of a research on the clinic of learning disability from a psychoanalytic approach in a dialog with the clinic of mental anorexia. It highlights that, similar to anorexia, in which nothing is eaten, in some learning disabilities the problem is not the impossibility to learn, but the fact that nothing is learned. For this reason, we develop nothingness as a concept and address other notions important to psychoanalysis, such as desire, lack, love, and object a. Some cases are used as an illustration of this; the main of them is the one of Ernest Kris, commented by Lacan, “the man of the fresh brains”.
