Pour une psychologie du bout de la vie

The psychology of the end of the life is this part of the psychology, which studies operations of the subject during old age, last period of the life. Death is the major element of this phase. It can be regarded as an event, which stops the life, but also as a process of transformation, which defines the life itself. In this space, which remains to live the psychic activity and more particularly anticipation, constitutes a resource. In his practice the psychologist fights against the negative effects of ageing and also works to accompany the old subject by integrating the context in which he lives.
