Should we be Afraid of Care Institutions?

Issue 18 : October, 2019
ISBN : 9782749265094

Care institutions are expected to be a perpetuation of the protective and containing aspects of parenthood: protective towards external threats, containing against the internal instincts and distress. But in order to ensure this function, to offer the stability and the necessary understanding for this role and to avoid the recurrence of failures and traumas, it is important to identify with what people are experiencing. This implies being able to hear and bear the more or less archaic or neurotic fears and anxieties that caregivers are led to experience in their counter-transference, often on the register of primary identification: fears of drive overflow, death and abandonment anxieties, fear and hate of others, nameless dread… Institutions can be echo chambers of fears and generate defences and splits within teams that are at least as marked and paralyzing as in the intra-psychic world of the patients. The risk can therefore be that the institution will sacrifice its nursing function to ensure its survival. How can we tolerate fear, talk about it freely, so that the institution does not become a mortifying and abusive place, a place where the defences are so rigid that any impulsive or empathetic movement freezes ?
