COVID-19 : aux frontières de la folie

Disorganizations due to the current coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that have required a national quarantine from the 17th of march to the 11 of May 2020, mangle and question. In view of the situation's extreme traumatic character and of the pathological consequences observed, we are going to try to give meaning to an almost chaotic situation. Our shared production, coming out of two psychologists – one being in quarantine and the other one not – crossed diary trying to put the theory in favor of the clinic, has for aim to build a support structuring thought. In fact, the breaking of COVID-19's death anxiety creates hysterical looking defense mechanisms within the entire society. When the extreme and sudden situation that we are describing can be understood as a paradoxical injunction as much as a denial of the split, we will focus our analyzes on both societal and hospital realities, that seems to jeopardize humanity, dignity, solidarity, equity, justice and autonomy principles. Describing, trying to put into words and analyzing all movements concerning the current situation, could lead to giving meaning to a situation which seems already deprived.
