Working as a clinical psychologist in Réunion: A practical and theoretical career spanning thirty-five years - 2022.


47

After an account of my career as a clinical psychologist in Réunion, including commentaries of a sociological and anthropological nature, I discuss the most important activity for every psychiatric care provider, the psychiatric interview, which is however hampered by institutional changes and “social” policies. I describe the ordeal of the encounter with the patient and its mystery in an active conception with various references.
