Étude de la limite dans le dispositif de la présentation du cas

A study of the limit in the case presentation setting. The pedagogic setting of clinical presentation can be considered as a limit-practice since « Leçon clinique »'s birth, as well as from the reactions it raised up than from the theoretic mouvements it inspired (Charcot, Ribot, Freud, Lacan…) The formation and transmission aim is studied and valued according to the concept of limit, which allows to show its full implications, its efficiency and its risks, and therefore, conjointly, its strength and its fragility. At the junction of the unversity and the hospital, of general and individual psychopathology, it stands today at the cross-roads of psychiatry and psychoanalysis. It embodies the history of transition from showing to verbal relation, from scopic dimension to psychoanalytic listening. The inherent violence of unconscious and instinctive strengths which work through this clinical and pedagogic act, produces a particular interference on the three protagonists - clinician, patient, audience; by this way, pass over tracks are founded, offering to the future clinicians, through a shared work, the main tools of listening and analysis of a clinical situation.
