Abstract

Objectives

This research focuses on the work of Arthur Conan Doyle and his famous detective Sherlock Holmes, considered a true secular myth. His worldwide fame is exceptional. The detective plays with the boundary between reality and fiction to establish himself deeply and durably in individual and collective psychic surreality. Paradoxically, the Scottish physician Arthur Conan Doyle had very little literary regard for his famous hero, and much preferred his other novels: “My lowest works cast into the shadows that of which I am most proud.” In 1893, he murdered his creation in issue 36 of The Strand Magazine, where he published “The Final Problem.” Doyle received countless letters from outraged readers insulting him and demanding the rebirth of the hero.

Method

As part of a clinical psychopathological reflection on Doyle's creative work, this paradox is explored here through an analysis of the links between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.

Result

The strategic role of the inseparable chronicler-narrator John Watson in this detective fiction is seen both as a mirror of Doyle's creative anaclitism and as a constant support for Sherlock Holmes’ deployment of his observational skills and the mastery of his indexical logic. The consulting detective's iconoclastic method is seen as characteristic of anaclitic creativity.

Discussion

This picture of an intersubjective framework between the detective and Watson's “presence-support,” conducive to crisis resolution, does not leave the psychoanalytically-oriented clinician unmoved.

Conclusion

In literature, the “body of work” is not always where the author consciously wishes it to be! Doyle's unwitting self-writing is a source of inspiration for the clinician.

柯南道尔笔下的侦探小说:无厘头创作?
本研究侧重于阿瑟-柯南-道尔的作品和他的名侦探夏洛克-福尔摩斯,夏洛克-福尔摩斯被视为真正的世俗神话。夏洛克-福尔摩斯被视为真正的世俗神话,他在全世界享有非凡的声誉。这位侦探玩弄了现实与虚构之间的界限,在个人和集体的超现实心理中深深地、持久地确立了自己的地位。令人不解的是,苏格兰医生阿瑟-柯南-道尔对他笔下的著名主人公却不屑一顾,反而更喜欢他的其他小说:"我最低劣的作品将我最引以为豪的作品置于阴影之下"。1893 年,他在第 36 期《斯特兰德杂志》上发表了 "最后的问题",谋杀了自己的创作。方法作为对道尔创作的临床精神病理学反思的一部分,本文通过分析夏洛克-福尔摩斯和约翰-华生之间的联系来探讨这一悖论。结果在这部侦探小说中,不可分割的编年史叙述者约翰-华生所扮演的战略角色既是道尔创作上的 "非文学性 "的一面镜子,也是夏洛克-福尔摩斯运用其观察技能和掌握其索引逻辑的持续支持。讨论这幅侦探与华生的 "在场支持 "之间的主体间框架图有利于危机的解决,并不会让以精神分析为导向的临床医生无动于衷!多伊尔不知不觉中的自我写作是临床医生的灵感源泉。
