Starting from her working practice in patients’ homes, the author (a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst) proposes a clinical reflection on such quite specific encounters and what this can teach us, especially as regards the transference issues at stake. She introduces the work of drawing up/building a process for mother-child therapy to take place in the home.In so doing, she shows how the home environment becomes a key element of the overall setting and, at the same time, a paradoxical element due to the dimension of privacy and its exclusive control by the mother. Is this specificity at the root of the cannibalistic type of representations/sensations experienced by the therapist, that of being swallowed and ingested? This perspective, hinging on the notions of intrusion and curiosity, may shed light on the question of interference: in order to intervene must one first accept being assimilated?
