520 _aIn the work of Pichon-Rivière, differentiating the “task” from the “work” is not easy. Indeed, both these terms have a fundamental place in his theory. The task is the progress of a group or a subject towards a goal; it is a praxis or trajectory that can be characterized as multidimensional and dialectical. The work, like the task, is an activity that organizes individual and collective subjectivities, but there are important differences between them. The pretask is a form of subjectivity (thinking, feeling, and acting) opposed to the task: it expresses a resistance to change. Although frequently alienated and a replicator of social inequality, work often generates—paradoxically—a strengthening of identity, satisfaction of needs for recognition, and personal and social development. In this respect, it is similar to the task or the activity, which is healthy by definition.
