Today I would like to share my experience as a clinician in a so-called "emergency and residential" children's home, welcoming children and adolescents until they come of age. It was only in the aftermath that I was able to question the state of sadness, even distress, which invaded me and which came to seal the moment to conclude this experience. Because it is from this feeling that a reflection on this clinic for children and adolescents (dis) placed has been possible. Isn't this one of the clinician's most precious tools as he witnesses the subject's clinical experience, here his encounter with the Social Other?
