Soins psychiques et somatiques des sujets en grande précarité : une épreuve de corps

The clinical study of precariousness shows that the psyche and the somatic are no longer mediatized by the discourse of the Other. This absence of otherness projects the subjects that experience it in an unassimilable real. Unable to identify themselves with their body and their image, they cannot feel their physical degradation and their pathology. This leads to the assumption that a divided body is the object of a negation delirium. Nowadays, new medical technologies and mainly medical imaging divide the patient's body in separate units, blocking the access to the fantasized body. Through the socially excluded, this article poses the question of the impact of an increasing objectivization of the medical profession.
