Many prisoners are in a situation of great social insecurity, compounded by a breakdown in their support network. This alters not only their relationship with society, but also with others, with themselves and with their own sense of existence. So how should we approach the psychological support of prisoners? Hypnosis would appear to be an invaluable tool for such patients. The hypnotic device, co-constructed with the person in line with his or her needs, encourages the development of a sense of internal continuity and self-existence. We'll take a closer look at the therapeutic work with Florent to illustrate this process.

Modern medicine's field of action has generally been defined as the modification of the space of the body itself, though it has been broadened to include social space, in which the body is disciplined. Current forms of medicalisation, which are based on an unprecedented temporal inscription of the body represent a paradigm shift. Concurrently, the regulation of bodies generally operates through the internalisation of a temporal norm (recourse to drugs). This article show how the current medicalisation of the social is shifting from a disciplinary logic (spatial investment of the body) to a transformation of its temporal structure.

AbstractThis paper reviews a post hoc research dealing with the results of a four year toy manipulation workshop. These results show that intelligence quotient, mental age, and sex did not have statistically significant effects on the frequency of use of any one toy in particular. Only for those toys which require a type of "assembly line" activity was the decrease in use over the four years statistically significant. Toys which required one or more partners seemed to be the most attractive to both male and female intellectually handicapped (moderate level) adolescents.

SUMMARYThis article describes the history, objectives and functioning of the St. Jacques Clinic. This clinic was founded twelve years ago in order to meet the health needs of a lower socioeconomic population. Having for its purpose to serve the people, it seeks to offer, free of charge, all medical care possible and is involved in the fight to improve the living conditions of the workers. The clinic is a cooperative and the services are all free except for dental and psychological care for which the members pay by a selection system. In mental health care, the services are no different than anywhere else but the priorities are. Also, it is to be noted that the therapists are of lacanian analytic orientation.
