WOMEN IN PRISON AND PROJECTIVE TOOLS
The article presents the specificity of the psychological care of imprisoned women. Apart from medico-legal considerations, it is a question of understanding how prison constraint weighs specifically on the relationship to the body in women. In this perspective, it is a question of taking up from a psychological point of view how the primary exchanges with the environment, in its first modalities of meeting and tuning with the subject, weave the emotional, affective and instinctual foundations. Also, incarceration, due to the high level of constraint and dependence that it mobilizes, inevitably summons painful and/or traumatic experiences which are added to the context of the acts committed. It is from a clinical case, based on projective tests (Rorschach and T.A.T), that the affective and sensory issues of this clinic will be addressed in terms of fascination and cruelty.
