Delicacy, present in the depths of my being as a therapist, helps me to accompany the distress and even the violence sometimes expressed by my patients. Depending on the context, delicacy can be welcoming, benevolent, patient or restraining, but it can also be confrontational. Through a few cases chosen to illustrate each of these qualifiers, the author attempts to show how delicacy enables creative adjustment and the co-construction of newness for both patient and therapist: the admirable energy of persistance in gentleness.
