In complete intimacy

In complete intimacy - 2020.

Taking an interest in the concept of the intimate in a long-term care institution seems to be a fool’s game. The community continually encounters singularity; the public confronts the private sphere. The author, underlining the containing, distinguishing, and protective functions of the intimate space in the development of subjectivity, proposes a reflection on the issues of a dilution of spaces in the relationship between the patient/resident and their close family, but also between the psychologist and the patient. Threat of encroachment, loss of subjectivity, and diffraction of intimacy are risks that should be taken into account when working with vulnerable persons admitted to institutions.
