| Résumé : |
This article is a contribution to the understanding of the phenomenon of abuse in geriatric practice. Our thesis is that the institutional idealisation of the possibilities of action, that is the denial of limits, favours the appearance of abuse to oneself and to the patients.
We will begin with a clinical grasp of the situation of staff in contact with the patients and by listening to their own analysis of the dynamics which lead to acts of abuse. For them, abuse arises when they feel that they “are not up to the task”, or when they have got caught up in professional “routine”. These two subjective situations are frequent in an institution which, by idealising its possibilities of action implicitly formulates a prescription of omnipotence for its staff: they must be “up to” an ideal. Either they subscribe to this prescription – and we shall see how they can believe and subscribe –, or they protect themselves from it. The former case seems to lead to abuse through a feeling of helplessness (not being up to the task), the latter to abuse by negligence (being in a routine). |
