Traumatic intrusion often starts when the individual or groupal psychic apparatus is overwhelmed, in which case it is in a state of great distress and fear and cannot follow the regular process… From the breach to the overflow of the invasion, from the protective shield’s intrusion to its extinction, when psyche and soma are ununified and broken into, how can the Institution and its heroes cope? What destiny for the suspended time that cannot fall back in place? What should be thought of this specific moment that can no longer pursue its course? How can this be contained when it overwhelms all thinking processes and care disposals? Through their various clinical experiences in different institutions, the authors of this issue discuss this notion and present a practice where it is generally a matter of accompanying individual and institution into developing their personal story after a brutal stop due to this intrusion.
