Abstract:
The patient-caregiver relationship is also a 'body-to-body' relationship. It brings into play sensory perceptions generating a cognitive and emotional interpretation. Maintaining the proper distance enables caregivers to remain professional while controlling the risk of 'symbolic contamination' and emotional overflow.
