| Résumé : | In a society where speed and efficiency are paramount, what characterizes psychiatric emergency services? How does one deal with psychotic patients who consult repeatedly and who are sometimes violent towards themselves or towards teams? What kind of intervention can be provided when subjects are caught in a repetitive cycle that keeps taking them back to the position of a disposable object that they themselves feel to occupy? Ophelia is a young woman who is well known from psychiatric institutions. She presents herself at emergency services several times a week and is repeatedly placed under observation because of her suicidal tendencies. However, she quickly ends up being blacklisted by most closed psychiatric wards in Brussels. After one year, an anchor point finally emerges for her from one of the emergency services of the city: weekly follow-ups are set in place; her relationship to the body and to other people is somewhat appeased. Thus, in light of clinical practice, in the midst of psychiatric emergencies, repetition and acting out are not necessarily antagonist to the construction of anchor points. |
