The Child as Object of Care. What Kind of Cure Are We Talking About?

The Child as Object of Care. What Kind of Cure Are We Talking About? - 2007.

Today, the progress of medicine more and more often results in children coming into the world in particular conditions, sometimes even “without sexuality and without filiation”. Are such babies the “subjects” or the “objects” of medicine and science? What role can a psychoanalyst play in such instances? What can he do for a premature baby in an “intensive care unit”? Is it possible in such cases to speak of a “cure”? And if so, what kind of “cure” is it?
