Les souffrances psychologiques des malades du cancer : Comment les reconnaître, comment les traiter? = The psychological suffering of cancer patients : How to recognize them, how to treat them?
This book thus proposes, reconnecting with the most clinical and frankly psychodynamic vein, to bear witness to the encounter with the reality of cancerous disease and with all the imagination that it arouses. It is also a tribute to the sick - but just as much to their loved ones and their caregivers - who then engage in these territories of the crash, the unpredictable, where everything leads to think and do.
Life Conduct in Modern Times : Karl Jaspers and Psychoanalysis
This award-winning book investigates the critique of psychoanalysis formulated by the psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) over a period of five decades. His arguments against Freud and his followers are examined from systematic perspectives. The study traces the medico-historical roots of Jasper’s criticism of psychoanalysis and then places it within the framework of scientific theory before devoting itself extensively to medico-ethical aspects of the controversy, which are ultimately treated in terms of a history of mentalities. According to this view, Jasper’s student Hannah Arendt saw to it that the philosopher be made aware of the socio-cultural impact which psychoanalysis was beginning to have in the U.S.A.
