AbstractExternal supervision of teams is increasingly part of mechanisms put in place both in public networks and community organizations to contribute in supporting professional mental health workers in developing their abilities and improving their clinical practices. It also plays a role in the analysis of ethical questions and in the prevention of deontological errors. The supervision of teams also includes its share of challenges, notably with regards to group dynamics and mechanisms to favour in order for supervision to rightly adjust to the needs and levels of participating professionals. Finally, the supervisor must also consider his own ethical responsibilities towards those supervised and towards their clients.

AbstractWork of the mentally ill in France. A story of a side-stepped social usefulness The concept of "mental alienation" in a etymological and philosophical sense means "a subjective process by which an individual becomes stranger to himself". Alienation covers the feeling of powerlessness (being unable to influence the course of events), the absence of recognition of social norms leading to mental and social isolation, finally, lack of significance (not understanding the world in which we live). Following Engels and Marx, the modern worker, like the mentally ill, is also touched by a kind of alienation, this time objective. Like mental illness, work renders the individual a stranger to himself and leads to multiple forms of enslavement, by the absence of power on his conduct, by the blind obedience to social norms, and by the reification of the alienated product of labour of its human essence leading to the loss of meaning (Rosner, 1967).

The Skin Ego theory demonstrates that containment, continuity and integration are priorities when working with children and vulnerable patients, in order to maintain a secure experience of the skin ego, which is the primary condition to feel alive and to thrive. Dyadic therapy helps to provide intervention at intrasubjective and interpersonal levels. The analyst's role is to help parents create a transitional space. Playing is essential to give parents access to play with their baby, who then can experience new relations with internal objects.

How can we operate the transmission of psychoanalytic thinking while training students and professionals to parent-infant psychotherapy? How can some classical Freudian concepts be applied to help the analyst working with dyads, such as defense, transference, infantile sexuality, the role of body ego and super ego in the first year of life? The importance of libidinal pleasure in relation with the mother, the notion of defense towards primitive anxiety and the role of the unconscious maternal functioning are helpful to help the child as well as the parents to regulate their interactions.

Les gains spontanés sont des améliorations importantes des symptômes d’une personne souffrant d’un trouble psychologique entre deux séances de psychothérapies consécutives (Tang & DeRubeis, 1999b). La présence des gains spontanés prédirait une meilleure efficacité thérapeutique à court et à long terme dans le traitement de la dépression (e.g., Tang & DeRubeis, 1999b; Wucherpfennig et al., 2017). Pour le traitement du trouble d’anxiété généralisée (TAG), des études ont fait état du phénomène des gains spontanés chez au moins 20% des personnes (Deschênes & Dugas, 2013; Flückiger et al., 2021; Present et al., 2008). Or, leurs résultats concernant l’impact des gains spontanés sur le changement thérapeutique sont plutôt mitigés. De plus, les études sur le TAG n’ont pas évalué l’impact des gains spontanés sur l’évolution des symptômes …
