Near-death experiences (NDE) are subjective experiences that some patients experience in real or perceived life-threatening contexts, especially when they wake up from a coma or following cardiac arrest. These experiences, situated at the borders of subjectivity, challenge our theoretical and clinical models. From this point of view, we propose in this paper to analyze the meeting of two clinical practices confronted with NDEs. The first concerns the practice of clinical psychologists in an intensive care unit. The second comes from a counseling service specialized in exceptional experiences. One observation emerges from these two clinical practices, namely that these experiences are not described in the same way within these two spaces. The authors attempt to make this observation intelligible in order to better understand the nature of NDEs in relation to their context of emergence. By way of conclusion, some recommendations are proposed on how these experiences should be received and considered both in the hospital setting and in the context of subsequent clinical consultations in other settings.
