MEDIATED VISIT AND PSYCHOSIS: A CLINICAL AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Supervised visits are a part of the tools used in French medico-social structures to allow contacts between different members of a family in the presence of a professional. This article intends to build a clinical and theoretical frame related to that specific tool. To do so, we will use a two-year clinical experience of supervised visits. It involved a father suffering from a psychosis that was not being treated but was adequately compensated, and his five-year-old child who had been the victim of aggravated violence inflicted since he was three months old. Our hypothesis states that working on the limits of the frame facilitates the support of the psychotic person in a context of supervised visits.
