This article adresses the bond of frienship between a man and a woman as a booster of individuation of both. Through a symbolic reading of the correspondence between the brazilian writers Clarice Lispector and Fernando Sabino the author dives on the individuation booster by such a friendship, which lasted for more than thirty years. Reflections are made about the archetypes of anima and animus.
