Accompagner des mineur-e-s transgenres et leurs parents. Manifestations et clinique de l’angoisse

Abstract

How do psychoanalysis and psychiatry define anxiety and support patients and those close to them? Based on the case of the transition paths of transgender minors and their parents, the interview with Dr. Agnès Condat sheds light on the ways in which hospital services assist individuals in their transition process, but also support the institutions that socialize them – such as schools. Beyond that, the interview focuses on the work of identifying and assisting with the manifestations of anxiety in families and caregivers. Finally, the article underlines how psychoanalytical work can make headway in the social sciences, particularly on the question of gender.
