In this article, the authors wish to offer the product of their reflections on the concept of coercive control, and share various findings from their day-to-day practice. The text should be read as an invitation to clinical reflection on the conceptualization of a specific form of abuse. Reflection on this approach, initially ignored by the authors, has enriched clinical thinking on certain care situations.
Keywords: abuse; adolescent; child; coercive control; contrôle coercitif; enfant; maltraitance; pediatrics; psychiatrie; psychiatry; pédiatrie.
