In the latest issue of Psychotherapy my article has been published, encouraging readers to view supported housing as a space for an encounter between the container and the contained.
In the past, such housing served as an asylum that separated the individual from their surroundings. Today, it represents an attempt to provide care that goes beyond hospitalization itself. Supported housing can take various forms, drawing on different understandings of illness, the capacities of the person who is unwell, and the assumptions made about the aims of the care provided. In the article, I explore how supported housing can become a tool for working with group dynamics and transference–countertransference processes.
I encourage you to have a look!
