Abstract
In spiritual care, demented people also present symptoms reminiscent of those often encountered during an analytical cure in certain psychoses and in neuroses involving narcissism or melancholia: that is, some psychic indifference toward the processes of credere and transfer, and love as such. Clinics devoted to the spiritual care of people with dementia question the role of the credere and love in their most crucial aspects for psychic health. How and why do these patients fall in love? A study of the clinical implications of these questions in relation with observations gathered among people suffering from severe dementia should allow us a better understanding of the meaning of soul, consciousness, and cognition.
