Abstract
This article deals with the psychological work required from professionals working in the sphere of care and social work in order to be able to commit themselves to the different patients they work with on a daily basis. This psychological work which, in the wake of the works of Nathalie Zaltzman (1998, 2007), is based on a transformational group process, with reference to Freud (1932) is called ‘Kulturarbeit’. We propose that this process operates specifically within self-reflective spaces for which Professional Practice Analysis (PPA) serves as a paradigm. A clinical situation will help us to discuss the effectiveness and the validity of this approach.
