Synopsis
This chapter shows how a clinical psychologist’s training was enhanced by being centred essentially on an open psychoanalysis very influenced by phenomenology, and within a radical project of a psychosocial clinic accessible to the most disadvantaged.
Indeed, in the end of the 60s the reality of psychiatry, with regard to the protection of young people, was to relegate rather than to take care of the people. Major changes were imperative.
This was achieved by the installation of a crisis pilot centre in a disadvantaged district of Brussels whose orientation was the systemic approach, new in Belgium at that time.
Family therapies, networking practices, systemic readings of institutional and inter-institutional logics as well as the creation of specific tools like the landscape genogram were developed there.
What was developed yesterday remains crucial today where the return of excessive specialisation starts again to create forms of exclusion.
