Clinique de l'humanisation à l'épreuve des traumatismes extrêmes cumulés à l'exil : de la torture déshumanisante à une psychanalyse de la réhumanisation

Based on an intensive clinical experience of more than ten years, the author explores how the absence of encounter between a traumatized person on the run from the horror in his/her country and the people who are supposed to take care of him/her, can maintain, or even reinforce the process of disconnection and alienation from oneself, the others and the world, process that started in the country of origin and the almost always long and very dangerous journey on the run. These developments will open to a metapsychology of intersubjectivity based on the responsibility towards the Other and the recognition of Otherness. As will be shown in the last chapter, this metapsychological proposition is not without consequences, neither for the clinical theory and practice nor for the way of thinking about and practicing the reception in our country of the subjects on the run, in trauma and in exile.
