ABSTRACT
In psychiatry, many teams are worried about having to complete questionnaires when they need to work rapidly. The push for results prevents the team from establishing a personal dialogue with each patient. This is one of the major concerns in psychiatry. A young “psychotic” adult has a pathological functioning and at the same time he has “normal” functioning. It is important because psychiatric patients are still often neglected. Everyone working in the field of mental health and wishing to maintain a vibrant clinical practice can combine psychiatry and psychoanalysis. It is an interesting and important challenge, as much for psychiatry as for psychoanalysis. One could call psychiatry “the art of meeting”. It is therefore clear that an analyst can very usefully work in psychiatry and can collaborate with all the other care providers. Psychiatry and psychoanalysis were connected in a way that seemed totally natural to us.
