[Care, a place of affectivity and emotions]

Abstract

Joy, fear, disgust, anger, sadness, surprise, emotions are fleeting and natural affects that catch us off guard. Care, as a face-to-face encounter with others, in a sometimes difficult context of serious or chronic pathologies, can become a place of affectivity, all the more so as care crosses the barriers of bodily intimacy. What to do with one's emotions in care?

Keywords: care; care relationship; caregiver; emotion; patient; proche; relation de soin; relative; soignant; soin; émotion.
