Abstract
Reflecting on the role of care in psychic constitution, this article discusses the fundamental aspects to think about the psychoanalytic treatment of children, marked by an ethical exercise. The clinical style of Winnicott and Ferenczi, taken as reference, favors the proposition that the intersubjective dimension shows up as a central element to the ethics of care in psychoanalysis, which may help to put the practices of care in childhood in motion.
