<br/><br/> This article aims to show how our practices as clinical psychologists within a hospital service were seriously challenged during the pandemic of Covid-19 and led to the creation of a psychological assistance service. Drawing on two clinical vignettes, we will analyse the effects of the emergency and of the risk of contamination for our therapeutic posture. Through a work of co-construction based on a group approach, we proposed an offer of care for patients, families and hospital teams. This approach involved a work of demarcation and internal reorganizations to create a sufficient gap that is indispensable for listening, for mobilizing the group as a space for depositing, diffracting and transforming lethal anxieties, and for opening up a process of transitionality.
