Nicole Calevoi, Solange Thiry  : the « workshop of envelopes »

We explore both practice and the relation between theory and clinical work in a mediation workshop in a day-center. Using the case of Maud, we present collaborative work between the artist and the various practitioners carrying out psychoanalytic work with several difficult patients. The procedural aspect of mediation work complements the verbal approach when dealing with these patients who lack a capacity for symbolization.
