L'habitat et ses liens avec le psychisme : aspects psychopathologiques et cliniques de l'attachement à l'habitat

The dynamic of the habitat's appropriation highlights the complex knots between the dimensions of the individual's internal world and those of the habitat. Regarding the outside world, like the individual who observes and listens to its subjectivity, the habitat as an extension of the intimate, and in view of the analogies with the skin ego, symbolizes an interface of the individual with the world. The individual builds a home, which becomes a base from which to draw a mesh of links with the world. The housing is to some extent, a reflection of the web of this meshing, but which also allows this web to be kept under tension so it does not fray. This singularity of attachment to the habitat seems important particularly with regard to trauma. Indeed, what about the traumatic experience of victims of natural disasters (floods, tornadoes, etc.), fire, burglary, etc.? It would be interesting to carry out work on this topic.
