Event and change are two interrelated notions referring to an enigma: how can discontinuity be born from continuity? Taking this question into consideration, the analysis of the event - which can be anything that suddenly bursts into a group or an individual life, brings surprise and confusion and sort of a certain light. We can mention three examples of a nature variety: the case so called DSK (Dominique Strauss-Kahn), a discovery revealing the tensions in a team of care and the creation of Israel, which has been in a contradictory ways by the Palestinians and the Israelis. These three events only make sense and become a source of change, when their psychological and social consequences are the subject of an elaboration work by the involved people

Keywords : Micro-event; change; discontinuity; clinic, experience.
