ABSTRACT
This article follows almost chronologically the COVID crisis between March and May 2020 during what is called, at least in Europe, the "first wave". Each 'Act' of our internal and external theatre is therefore a moment with a specific date, with the questions that were then pertinent. These 'Acts' were First was the setting up of remote sessions under health pressures and the recommendations of our psychoanalytic institutions. This change in the frame and its consequences will be presented from various technical points of view, which have ostensibly raised some original metapsychological hypotheses.Then, concerning our profession, its very status as either essential or inessential has been discussed by public authorities, and inevitably by our patients, who will après-coup have to give meaning to our reactions during this crisis.We will next study the effects of remote sessions, particularly from its psychoanalytic 'economic' perspective, and as a kind of 'credit for in-presence' in the early stages of quarantine.We will then be looking at the hypothesis of a maternal element in the sessions, imperceptible in normal times, but suddenly palpable in the context of the absence of physical bodies.Finally, we will propose developments through workshops as an option in order to find a response to this unexpected event at the global scale.
