Treating patients suffering from neurocognitive disorders is a tough challenge for each clinician to cope with. Dementia shows a complex of variety of overlapping symptoms, ranging from neurology to psychiatry, making it difficult to categorize patients and their phenomenology through a rigid separation of medical branches. Its epidemiological expansion forces medics to reconsider the way they think, not just the demented subject, but the subject itself, caught within medical dispositif. Hence, here will be discussed 1) the status of subject, 2) a potential role of psychoanalysis in approaching neuro-psychiatric symptoms and 3) some issues on the therapeutic relationship, which represent obscure resistance points when facing neurocognitive disorder phenomenon. Aim of this article is to enlight these shadows through the lens of Lacanian psychoanalisys, as a precious instrument to prevent the inevitable practice of desubjectification.
Keywords: dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Neurocognitive Disorders, Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI), Behavioural and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD, psychoanalysis, Lacan, subject, subjectification, transfert, desubjectification.
