[The affective experience of homelessness: from break-up to obsession.]
Abstract:
The qualitative analysis of 60 interviews of young homeless adults on the relational dimension of their experience allows a conceptualization of the construction of itineraries that takes into account two contradictory sides closely interrelated within the affective experience of homelessness: on one side, the break-up considered as essential to survival, on the other side, the obsessive preoccupation with relations denounced as ill-fated yet indispensable. One can see these two sides as the dynamic forces of a chain where refusal underlies the journeys of quest and erring.
