This article analyzes the evolutions of the forms of support within the care institution for homeless people. This population activates archaic fears and anxieties, which may induce defenses such as splitting among caregivers. What expression of psychic conflict can such an encounter provoke? Does this justify a specific attitude? In reference to psychoanalytic psychopathology, this article based on existential action- research (EA-R) studies countertransference among caregivers, and more specifically how to relate to the unaffiliated other and how to tolerate his or her drives and affects, which mirror their own.
