Based on the clinical activity of a psychiatric team for adults in an associative apartment, this article shows how the plurality of the spaces-times and of the treatment functions makes this setting a therapeutic lever involving the mediation of the most practical aspects of daily life, while navigating towards the progressive revelation of defence mechanisms and the identificatory constellation of these patients. The therapeutic axis is deployed around a double process of weaving – group and individual – through which the question of the transition from “our apartment” to “my apartment” and that of the way in which each person can appropriate and “inhabit” his own psychic space in its current dimension and in association with his infantile history are jointly articulated.
