Summary:

Objectives: in the psychological accompaniment of those living in precarious conditions, we are faced with a world without landscape and without any form of dreaming. After clarifying these difficulties, we propose here a form of cartographic psychotherapy in this clinic that evolves out-of-language. Procedures: a clinical experience with migrants inspired by Deligny’s attempt to question the transferential organisation installed in a space situated upstream of the register of the imaginary in this psychotherapy which cannot be based on speech. Conclusions: the contingency of movement, which imposes itself as a necessity on those paralysed by the contingencies of life in a situation of exclusion, is inscribed through cartographic and sensory landmarks that give access to an imaginary organisation, a landscape and a possible re-humanisation.
