Freud occupe une place centrale dans l'oeuvre de Sartre, non seulement parce que les textes sartriens sont parsemés de références à Freud depuis 1936 jusqu'aux textes les plus tardifs, mais en plus parce que Sartre théorisa et mis en pratique une psychanalyse existentielle. Toutefois, plus qu'un débat sur l'inconscient, la lecture sartrienne de Fre...

Figlio argues that there is a masculinity of concern for the object of its love: ‘depressive’ in Kleinian terms, hopeful in its fertility and devastated by the dread of infertility. It is a ‘seminal masculinity’, displaced by the more familiar ‘phallic masculinity’, which defends against it. The extreme phallic defence of toxic masculinity has tapp...

Book review. Subject: Cross-cultural couple and family psychoanalytic interpretations

Virginia Woolf often crosses the boundaries between literature and painting in her writing, masterfully combining these two realms.

The structure of the unconscious and the circuit of) drive both indicate that the symbolic and imaginary dimensions merge in the direction of a real referent - that, even in the best formalizations, keeps its singularity - and, at the end of an analysis, may allow the emergence of the “analyst’s desire”. For their optimal understanding, I used the...

While family work is acknowledged as relevant in the care of eating disorders (EDs), not much literature has explored it in the period of transition from adolescence to young adulthood (16–18 to 30 y.o.).

The term 'Gaze' finds its roots in psychoanalysis, serving to depict the uneasy sensation accompanying the awareness of being observed.

In the process of psychical transmission from one generation to the next, who asks what of whom?
