Any institution, says the author, is based on a collective
that is
instituted, organized and legislated in the field of
social relationships. To
reflect upon the complexity of institutional spaces
and the trajectories of
psychical objects, there are three useful perspectives.
The first concerns the
assembly and transferences, within the institution,
of the many levels of a
relatively heterogeneous reality. A second one relates
to the institution’s
primary task. Finally, the complexity of its psychical
reality must be explored.
The author’s theoretical developments are exemplified
through a clinical
case derived from fieldwork in an actual institution.
