The notions of containment and transformation find their origin in and bear witness to a mutation of the representation of psychic care. They address subjects such as caregiving and parenting and have led to the emerging development of the notion of psychic envelope (or skin ego.) They presuppose the work of projective identification and the concept of an inner world. The author provides a historic overview of these ideas and highlights the notion of shared feelings as a condition for the elaboration of containment and transformation, which necessitates centering the clinical work on intersubjectivity. All of these notions come to define a caring internal parental position relying on psychic bisexuality, the primary forms of which are called bi-sensuality. Internal parentality takes the form of a psychic bi-parentality, integrating maternal and paternal aspects of the self. Caring parentality also presupposes a harmonious articulation of adult and childlike aspects of the self, forming a psychic bi-generationality. All of these qualities or characteristics apply to the parent, to the caregiver, and to the group or the institution providing care, which each express (or fail to express) caring parentality.
