It is intended with this project to create a treatment unit for school and social inclusion for children that show serious disturbances. In this treatment unit, two different directions are going to be developed. One of those, a clinical, psychotherapeutic, based on a new theorization held by Freud's, Lacan's, Allouch's, Léthier's psychoanalyticaI theories, and by the clinical experience researched and developed by us with shows efficiency by treating this kind of patient. The second treatment direction is going to be social-psycho-pedagogic, and aims to complete the psychotherapeutic treatment. This kind of work still has to be created in our country. It hasn't yet been instituted among us a way that shows itself able to produce social and scholar reinsertion of kids that present autism, deficiency, psychosis as a psychiatric diagnosis. TECER will use methods like the following to reach the social and scholar inclusion: sport games, music teaching, conviviality, scholar including by offering an internal teaching classroom and later working together with the school for a gradual migration, therapeutic workshops, offered not only for the matriculated children but also for their family, for our team members, and for the school team. In TECER the second work direction (described above) is interpreted as a complementary therapeutic element for our patients TECER will offer internship for graduation students in Psychology and is a research laboratory for post-graduation students working under our orientation.
