Abstract
Objective
Public hospitals are necessary for patients with the most severe psychological suffering. Within an institution, the symptoms of some have an impact on the way the group functions, with counter-attitudes, scissionary projections, and so on. Ever since Jean-Étienne Esquirol, we have known that hospitals can be healing in themselves, if they are staffed by “skilled” caregivers. At a time when public hospitals are being restructured, can tools from the field of institutional psychotherapy help to “heal the hospital so that it can heal”, in Hermann Simon's aphorism? We articulate psychopathological knowledge with institutional concepts, in order to reflect on how to care for singularities through collective work.
Method
We present a theoretical-clinical elaboration based on clinical vignettes that attempt to capture the day-to-day practice of a public psychiatric department oriented towards institutional psychotherapy, and the psychotherapeutic care possible, in an institution, for psychotic subjects.
Results
Concepts derived from institutional psychotherapy are based on psychoanalytical and phenomenological psychopathologies that are tested in clinical practice: in particular, questions of space, atmosphere, and transference, at the heart of psychopathology. These concepts can be discussed and refined in the light of current research and practice, and support creative care approaches based on the logic of geographical sectors.
Discussion
Institutional tools seem to support caregiving teams in their response to psychological suffering. If they are not the subject of dogmatic positioning, they encourage a therapeutic alliance that is as close as possible to the subjectivity of the players involved, and enable a performative theorization of daily practice.
Conclusion
Joint attention to psychopathology and institutional clinical practice helps to provide individualized care and support for the singularity and subjectivity of the most fragile patients and the teams who work with them.
