The book Psychoanalysis and Severe Handicap: The Hand in the Cap
introduces an original look at handicap, a look aiming at capturing
the subjectivity, no matter how weak or uncertain it may be, of the
ill Other. In this light the work of operators can become an
invaluable support to the creation of the self, a crucial help to
self-narration, and a valid contribution to making one's way
through the entangled intricacies of language. The text falls into
six chapters, which elegantly and accurately lead us into the core
of the problem tackled. Focusing on the difficulties implied by the
recognition of the ill Other and the acceptance of the otherness,
the author attacks those cultural policies which set autonomy and
integration as absolute objectives to be achieved in the work on
handicap. Instead, the author highlights the need of a path aiming
at the structuring of the individuality of the disabled and at the
molding of their subjectivity, starting from the subject's
peculiarities.
