« If you can't heal, caress »: Some psychoanalytical reflections on long-term care
This article reflects on long-term care and chronicity within a psychoanalytic frame of reference and how these involve essential anthropological elements of humanity. From these reflections conclusions are drawn for a type of care tailored to the individual and the implication for caregiving in a humane way. If « nothing more can be done », then there is still a lot to be done psychoanalytically speaking; especially to be present, to speak and, last but not least, to listen.
