What is the point of view of a link psychoanalyst in respect of the parent-child link? What gives this perspective its specific nature? What makes it distinctive from other discourses, from other clinical approaches? Psychoanalysis states hypotheses explaining how human psyche, the inner world of an individual, is built. From the intersubjectivity, the question is about the unforeseeable that brings about the presence of another individual. The parent-child link is thus defined as a link of hospitality. “Hospitality belongs originally neither to the host nor to the guest, but to the gesture through which they welcome each other.” We reflect about this link without emphasizing the places and functions of the kinship, but from the new experience that the meeting proposes.
