| Riassunto: | In specialized care facilities, the teams, most of whom are women, are confronted on a daily basis with the dehumanizing mechanisms of the archaic disorders of the residents. The author draws on her experience as an institutional clinical psychologist to discuss the professional practices and institutional place of these women. Feminist research into the ethics of care can open up new paths of clinical understanding of the specific dynamics of specialized care facilities. As such, the sociological concept of dirty work is linked both to institutional history and to the liminality of this extreme clinical practice. We examine the notion of “therapeutic mothering,” which initially shaped the practices of daily life in care facilities for subjects with archaic pathologies. The early use of this term, now replaced by “nursing care,” is closely linked to the gendering of these professions. The rise of the concept of containment, linked to the notion of the psychic envelope, is an opportunity to modify our representations, but above all to revalue the daily gestures of these teams by deepening their meaning. |
