Through the clinical narrative of a psychiatric patient in long term care, the article examines the rehabilitation process in adult psychiatry. After a brief presentation of the reception unit (post-cure follow-up for psychotic patients) and its focal areas of work, we present the progressive birth of multi-disciplinary care including nursing, individual psychiatric care and psychoanalytical group sessions. Finally, by exploring the group's three-year history, we follow the patient's evolution and propose certain hypotheses on the link between external habitat (institutional space) and internal habitat (intra- psychic space).

This article researches about the psychic and ethical constitution of the real ego in front of the real world, on the basis of the live subjectivity and the organic individuality going towards the personality and the subject known as being moral. On the basis of sensitivity related to the deep ego, supporting the statics of the personality in order to realize its dynamics, the language is the vortex of all the movement around the body. Body and language return one to the other and interfere at the point of meeting with the other, by which the source of the ethical concern is evident.

AbstractThe transcultural consultation service at the Avicenne hospital is often a setting where patients with long, painful trajectory tainted with trauma and break-ups and teams of professionals overwhelmed by the complexity of certain situations both converge. Confusion and feelings of deadlock are doubly experienced with a reinforced risk of therapeutic wandering, lack of comprehension and misunderstanding if not reject. The transcultural mechanism that mediates the interaction between patient and therapist allows the elaboration of a compromise preserving the position of the therapist while being coherent with the patient's cultural representations.

A musical expression activity is offered at the Centre de réadaptation Lucie-Bruneau (CRLB) for people with multiple sclerosis and their loved ones. This activity uses the creative and emotional qualities of music to facilitate contact and develop an awareness of personal potential for those involved. The activity is intended to make the family aware of the many bio-psycho-social changes that occur as a result of multiple sclerosis and improve the authentic expression of the participants' feelings and needs. Finally, the objective of the workshop is to facilitate the emergence of action strategies for reacting to the disease. After a brief presentation of the clientele, the facility and the activity, the authors attempt to provide a summary of the major psycho-social issues of offering such a service.
