| Résumé : | Introduction: This article discusses our experience of fairy tale mediation in an adult psychiatry ward that treats eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa. Our clinical observations of failure in the separation-individuation process in these specific pathologies have led us to the hypothesis that Winnicott's double “illusion-destructiveness” movement has not found the proper conditions for its realization. Hypotheses and methods: Fairy tales recreate a transitional space between the internal scenes of therapists and those of patients, thus allowing the illusion to unfold without risking it feeling deadly, since it is shared. It would then become a space where destructive tendencies could be played out within the secure boundaries of the narrative. Results: There are many ways to use fairy tales in our ward: individual storytelling “at the bed of the patient,” several group workshops, including one conducted by the night team of our full-time hospitalization ward, and a video debate workshop that regularly uses Disney movies. A clinical case will illustrate our practice. |
