Autism, psychosis and existence
Opening Remarks:
This day is under the sign of the "existence": "does not give the organization's requirements on the primacy of the transcendent and question the meaning of life" under the "disorder existential " posed psychosis and autism.
In reading the argument, I had a thought for our friend Roger Gentis, a kind of wink sent to a neighbor of Tours, who had already written 30 years ago in his book on schizophrenics : "Schizophrenia is a problem that fascinate more and more researchers because it can lead us to explore and understand what is most intimate and mysterious in human life" ... although one wonders if researchers are currently looking at the right end of the telescope when looking into the origin in the organic.
Another resonance, just as nature is the work of Ludwig Binswanger when he reminds us in Existential Analysis and Psychotherapy that "what has to psychiatry and psychotherapy as a science is, as we know, man, not the first man psychéiquement sick, but man " that is to say, he continues " total texture of being present as being in the world." In Analysis and existential psychiatry he once recalled that the very foundation of psychiatry is " care of man, and not just something about him or from him."
What are we seeing today?
Conversely.
Former Secretary of State for Justice, Jean Marie Bockel, presented this fall to the President of the Republic a report on the prevention of juvenile delinquency. It advocates, again, early detection of disorders of the child. Remember the starting point : a report of INSERM in September 2005 offering a variety of devices to enable the detection and management from an early age "those who show behavioral ; '. Children of thirty six months with symptoms of "disobedience, hétéroagressivité, low emotional control, impulsivity, low index of morality" must be subjected to a battery of tests, developed based on behavioral theories of neuropsychology, which will identify any deviation from the norm.
The report aroused many reactions grouped under the collective Zero for Conduct. He brought to our friend Pierre Delion to dedicate a book whose title was a direct response: Any not played before 3 years . "It must be said loudly and vehemently he wrote in his foreword, all is not played three years or even seven years, the famous age of reason. We thought it was something heard. Alas, the echoes of the news tend to say that we would be so determined by our genes and our early years, spent the fateful age of thirty six months, the fate of a child would be drawn. "
The thing is, obviously, not heard since resurfaced with this report, in the prologue, this quote from Socrates confirming the adage that everything is contained in the opening about: " our young like luxury, have bad manners, scoff at authority and have no respect for age. In this age, children are tyrants. " From such a base should not be surprised by the analysis and proposals which form the basis of this report.
At the same time, moreover, a strong mobilization of the deaf community was formed with demonstration outside the National Assembly to protest against the screening at birth for hearing loss leading to a policy implants to make them "normal" these babies, but they claim their deafness as a "mode of existence" with a full real language is Sign Language. Members are also awarded. Disturbingly, moreover, the rumor that Bernard Accoyer, president of the National Assembly, may have an interest in hearing implant industry which is one of the inventors.
What answer from these prevention policies?
that is too provide you kill time, and at the same time it kills any chance that something happens.
The texture of the existing total is its integration in time: the time by denying his alleged mastery is not only killing, but also kill the subject disappears this strategy carefully.
Bill to care without consent replaces the term "hospital" by "care" at the same time it removes the care of a whole part of the course of patient care by replacing it with the judge or the prefect. Some were glad to be freed of a part of their function thinking it would gain in purity. We think the sentence imposed on Kant: "Kant has clean hands but he has no hands."
How can one imagine that this "cut" of psychosis among some concern that his social disorder and one that concerns the pathology may be a way forward? It falls into the new clinic multiple personalities across the Atlantic.
How function even care Could be split into divisions between a blind psychiatrist who would win in virginity focusing solely on its function as a therapist (but wakes up quickly in one costume expert s' it does not take more care in fool's bargain that he was offered) and a nurse or a social worker turned into agents of public order or informers, they will be responsible for monitoring tomorrow's home care forced to his care?
At a Such cleavage is a common view on the subject now reduces psychological distress to a cut in slices of life health, social and security.
Confirming the premium there is to affirm the continuity of being the world through the discontinuities of life and relationships.
Basically, all this boils down to questions about the very status of the disposition.
Either you think it is a deficit of an individual that we try despite any social class,
it is a hopeless person setting the limits of humanity in prison or asylum new force,
it represents one less potential productivity Only in a society geared towards positioning utility of its members,
is believed to be constitutive of man as taught us both Ey as Jacques Lacan, and many others Is not it Jean Oury? Already Pascal wrote: "Men are so necessarily mad that it would be crazy, for another round of madness, not being mad."
We must continue to remember that alienation, not only is humanity to be, but it is its freedom. That's what contains the paradox of the sentence John Paul Sartre in that sentence that looks like a provocation: "we have never been as free as under the occupation."
Let's stop with this company, under the guise of protecting us all the uncertainties of life (sex, disease, genes ... even death becomes a disease that one wants to heal us), we simply prevents live, we love, we meet ... and care.
This is the action of alertness and intelligence that has endeavored for nearly 60 years the Federation to Help Mental Health.
Thanks to the organizers of this day, the dynamism of Michel Lecarpentier and Regional Centre, thank you for the work they and we propose, on behalf of our President Bernard Durand I represent: "welcome to everyone!

L geographies are the fragmentation and metamorphosis: a choreography of trajectories caregivers in institutions and the city
several years work monitoring took place between psychiatric services CHRU TOURS and the National Choreographic Centre of Tours, whose director is Bernardo Montet. ;
A real meeting took place made the discovery of each other, without a-priori, but with the exchange'intuition rewarding for some and for others in the perspective of patient care and discovery of human potential for all unsuspected. It was with people with disabilities psychotic that our expectations were more uncertain, imbued with the fear of destabilizing the fragile relationship to body image. A true team has to go, it seems to us later in the task, coming up together, caregivers, knotting new areas of the world, access to a greater freedom of subjectivity stereotypical constraints.
This work is part of a common ap-proach (already a term referring to a step ...) institutional, underpinned by a certain conception of the subject, psychosis, care, collective caregiver.
work with dancers, we first discovered through chance Friendly, that is welcomed. For example, the establishment of a cultural association in a department of University Hospital since 1993, seeking an underlying reference to a questioning of what constitutes culture, open to all fields of practice humans: invited sociologists, psychoanalysts, educators, winemaker, singer, handymen exchange of knowledge and musicians. These meetings alternated with more directly clinical aspects. But what appeared was always finally close the worries of humans, the other in different geographies.
Undoubtedly there it was all preparatory work for the receipt of this opportunity by a sustained interest in the place of the body in health care, the introduction of training, practice and supervision of packing with juliette Planckaert, which itself had worked with Drs Gentis and Drought. It is in these programs of the cultural association, at a propitious moment and probably based on a program of institutional psychotherapy in conjunction with meetings cross the region's marine center, the establishment of a club, in short a concern for collective work, including Jean Oury reminded repeatedly of the importance that we have met some dancers from the National Choreographic Center of Touraine including Dimitri Tsiapkinis and Bernardo Montet.
It seems that immediately we were them and us in a surprising similarity of views on the meeting of another.
The first is that the meeting is movement, suspension, posture, gestures discovery. Sounds, words and create a surround atmosphere, an ambiance, a musical where the rhythms, repetitions, interruptions involve evocations, those of other meetings, other pathways.
The experience of care is fundamentally an experience of another in an authenticity that makes support, support for the presence, existence. This is a departure from it of course, the pretense, the effects of imposing imaginary, or playing it then.
There are probably some things that do not lie, that accompany the journey from reluctant and into the unknown.
semiological readings in a half-saying, ie without blinding revelation of their meaning, rather in the mid shade, seem necessary, like echoes of a rich polyphony between actors from the stage of care. Metaphors, reflecting a heightened esthesia, are supports to reveal new aspects, creative, unexpected exchange polysemous between doctor and patient, engaging everyone in a singularity implying.
choreographic metaphor might apply across the board to place our work area, like a big stage or play a whole body ballet in a huge set: lanes where one stops, where short, hurried on, slows down, where we greet where you meet people busy with their gestures wielding the mop, or machinery while that we deviate more or less skillfully. Offices with a ceremonial route in the waiting room before, rubbing, or after the patient gestures of opening a door, deductibles, sliding chairs, comfort gestures, looks, objects handled. Choreographies that are tied or untied in vehicles sectors, cmp, day hospitals, as patients' homes. Stereotypies which jingles, in each, ritualized moments where slip variations, modulations, unexpected changes of tempo or precedence. Scenes seem more conducive to these changes as therapeutic workshops, some groups of words, therapeutic stays.
The analysis assumes a phenomenological epoche, suspension of conventional syntheses of daily life. Sensitivity to the choreography institutions can illuminate areas of trade known. The choreographic experience such as that conducted with the CCNT can move new shadows too forgotten in the blinding light of the nosology of the Statute, the rules of the institution.
Benoit Lesage "dancing in the therapeutic process. Issues, tools and clinical dance therapy "(edit eres 2001) suggests some forms which express the meaning.
Thus, schematics extension / retraction and the extension for translating a patient with autism propulsion off oneself. The alternation of positions in a ball of the group, or starfish which represents the level of a collective who seeks the same approach of individual phenomena. The portion of the vertical ground often very difficult in autism. The experience of space that can be very scary. The importance of the presence of caregivers and choreographers, such as presence building space: The space of meeting space that structures the possibility of meeting up with the look. The device allows you to ask to settle and to be listens to itself even in difficult moments of suspension of wandering, of the action. Being in a remote temporary In itself, disengaging herself in the middle of the experience of other potentially invasive in the presence of the other group. Will play movements constituting a non-persecutory possibility of "being with". Away and closer are forms of reconciling breath listening to her body. The movements are experiences that affirm the effects of hard tissue and soft tissue: the bone that supports and shows the spatial directions, which highlight the most deformable tissue fusion adhesive potentially eroticized.
The Temporal and spatial dimensions are played in sequences specified by the choreographer or a participant who, ballet master, gives the signal a beginning and an end to guidance trajectory for the group or part of it it. So the game stops, leading to stop a statue is an experience for the subject of a form of extinction for the world as playing dead, referring to a partial catatonia whose reference is not enclosed in the topic but alliance with like. The paradox of such a suspension may be precisely to exist on the subject in mimicking her disappearance. Games Echo is one attempt to move away from the fascination of the mirror, they are on repetition of experiments that can be exercised but not as deadly as the possibility of the emergence of new, unexpected, openness .
The issue of rhythm, since it is more stereotypically, raises the indication of a transpossibilité to be there, to be where others find themselves, in their emergence out of oiling the psychotic, in a joyous awakening movement in the world that is truly the sign of ek-sist.
In a dance movement in the proposal of the body of another and another, which stories are given the carer and cared who takes the other in his arms and says to the person who supports, completely. The internship, weekly, as less frequent but much anticipated, multi-day stay in the mode of therapy, play paddle gestures from the incarnation of the daily meal shared, to the most critical events of humanity those who sign separations, expectations of desire, love, hate, life, death.
Among the prerequisites
probably necessary on the part of dancers that accompany this work, there is a stance of openness to the fault, failure, difficulty in addressing its own dizzying archaisms.
Bernardo Montet in a conversation with Jennifer Vincent about the creation of "Men" it is a text of Jean Genet "the prison", evokes marginality, the effect can be of any community, even marginal itself.
"This question, says he obsesses because at any time any individual can become bestial, barbaric. This issue is much discussed in the work of Jean Genet: evil. ... Is it a necessary evil which must be negotiated with, or is it a evil that must be locked as a monstrous beast? Or should he tame and ride it and go in prohibited areas? I think each of us can create this monster there. For me, it's how each of the players will be able to invent this animal, this beast, this monster and how it is going to invent a term. That's what interests me. Perhaps the world of Art on this point is a world that can be outlet and can afford to express his monstrosity. "
Artists such as Jean Genet and Pierre Guyotat push the issue of beauty so much so that the horror can be beautiful ... These are people who have gone so far in them, in this "pit" in the dark ... Very few of us are able, because it moves funds humanity, funds archaism, and that's where we'll try to go. For me, this is archaic but deeply human dimension that interests me. "
The project of a medical team found themselves well in such an interest in archaic and it is indeed very interesting links are forged between the treatment plan and choreographic project. If only attending performances, performances by the CCNT, experienced as pieces of speech research, elements of conversation and questions as we receive addresses from those that have animated the sessions with the team. To witness a work in creation, the risks taken by the dancer, by the same man who accompanied us is any indication, an encouragement to dare our freedom. It also discuss the risks of care, which are those that every person living psychotic processes meet, when tries to leave evidence of the neo-delusional reality that serves as its shell, to avoid dislocation. These risks assumed they appear in the formatting of the archaic attempts dancer in her choreography.
In our geography of care, new places have appeared, were grafted onto the device sector, including the room the school where physicians, patients and dancers gather every week, but the dance center and its stage, where performances are presented. These places then probably cause effects of attractors on other places and routes of our work, such as choir or the circus, for example helping to intersectorality recent valuable, opening up for carers as for treatment.
This ability to work with actors of contemporary art is also a possibility to fulfill this requirement risk and personal commitment to each individual of care. It is an opportunity to be with those artists, are often valuable enunciators new forms taken by human destinies in their social, psychological, historical, ontological. It is also a way to locate us in this commitment, in the multitude of approaches that makes the CCNT, towards different audiences on different continents. It is important that we have all been treated and caregivers affected by difficulties in its operation CCNT threatened, challenged for this commitment at odds with profitability of business.
could make a parallel with this commitment in the complexity of the city, by the gesture, which is reflected in the work of placarding poster-art that carries the street-Ernest Pignon-Ernest.
Ernest Pignon-Ernest, with a reminder of the plague in Naples, the quiet presence of Raimbaud on the walls of abandoned buildings, the faces of immigrants or body of homeless on the telephone booths, seeks to arouse the attention on those who risk being forgotten, or that we do want to see. It encourages them to be sensitive to the condition of the other abused, defaced, abused, in pain.
This ability to cross the suffering of abandonment, of the terrible challenges of our time, Marie Christine Hiebel evokes between Plague and brown plague, with great sensitivity in his tale "The waters vivid lagoon "
" Clara came out of chaos. The mist of dawn Venice binding himself to the colors of a bubble obscured. Emergence of muted gray, white with soft reflections arise from the achromatic opacity. Transparency born of the dark background of the thickness of the night. The stars light up blue and red die. The purple shadow wet from light pink in the morning becoming light and tender. Grew lighter burden of painful abyss of emptiness, Clara progressed to the eternal wisdom and lonely. She borrowed the narrow channel out of the emptiness of the world in mourning, contained in thick gray, and reaching for the light-colored end of the day ... round clear lights.
It seemed to us that the journey undertaken with the CCNT allowed us access to new shares in existence.
