Jean-Baptiste Dethieux is the father of a child with a disability that makes her at times small and helpless, and at other times large and strong, so strong that she seems to embrace the world in its entirety, to be amused by it or to rejoice in it with a disarming innocence. She is then not only this child suffering from a handicap, but also the incarnation of a simple joy and a radiant life force.

But Jean-Baptiste is also a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst of children and adolescents and, as such, receives children in pain and sometimes also carrying a handicap.
