Abstract

The main contribution of this article, one of the works derived from our PhD Thesis, is to signal that the understanding of the concept “Urgency Clinic” implies the recognition of Urgency, in its organic or subjective dimension, as if bifurcating in several manifestations: 1) Urgency itself; 2) Organic-generalized urgency; 3) Installation of urgency; 4) Subjective urgency; 5) Urgency in neurosis; 6) Urgency in psychosis; 7) Urgency and its conclusions. The purpose of this text is to present the various expressions of the concept of Urgency, taking into account the device of Urgency Clinic. During the present production, we built reflections based on the multiple manifestations of Urgency in the experience of subjects in relation to their anguishes, demands and desires. Therefore, we exposed clinical vignettes of cases that we attended and that intertwine with the theorizations. We add that this is linked to the subjective style of each human being in his bond with the world, thus representing his singularity in contact with others around him.
