A supervising experience within an institution
Abstract
A experience of supervision in a former asylum, transformed about a decade ago into an R.S.D., a residence for the disabled integrating basic assistance and sanitary care. The search for a unified interpretation of the institutional field, its great founders and its implicit rules, as a path to reduce the anxiety and the subsequent block on the vital energy needed in order to change. This energy had been a long time catalyzed by defensive mechanisms indispensable to those who work within the guidelines of the ‘relationship of helping’ in the residential context.
