La peur chronique des chiens chez les enfants

Abstract

In this article, the question of sharing the common social space by humans and dogs is raised. Phobia of dogs experienced by children and adolescents is the angle by which I propose to address this issue. I draw on an ethnographic fieldwork conducted in an association that helps these children with a phobia of dogs. The purpose of this survey is to describe the ways children live their daily encounters with dogs, as to relate how a therapeutic device that addresses the fear of dogs in terms of shared space problem was invented.
