Using a case study involving the analysis of a patient's artistic productions, the psychic processes facilitated by this type of therapy were highlighted. Determining inclusion in the group, clinical progress was assessed using Traumaq, which provides a comprehensive evaluation of clinical aspects related to trauma, such as anxiety, depression, memory disorders, and difficulties regaining a sense of security. Administered at the beginning, midway, and at the end of treatment, the PCL-5 Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist aimed at identifying different trauma characteristics, allowing for a quantitative assessment of the patient's clinical evolution.

This was one of the first research projects of its kind in France. Until then, only a Parisian team, led by Jean Delay, had published similar essays. Yet Henri Ey's team never published their results. Only an internal report was written, then lost – or destroyed during the period when studies on psychedelics were halted – by the institution where it had been filed. After months of research, an older part of this report was found in an archive.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>Despite the fact that the document is not complete (in particular, the self-experiments carried out by the medical team are missing), it is a unique source for understanding the French context of psychedelic research in the 1950s–1960s. The archive presents 19 cases of female patients, aged between 17 and 59, all with a low level of education. The dose was usually 100 to 150<!--> <!-->μg and was mainly injected. Each case report describes the patient's characteristics, medical history and, in some cases, biographical details. Next comes the course of the session (which is unique, except for one patient who receives LSD twice), sometimes minute by minute, with a few comments from the doctors and transcriptions of some of the patient's words. Each report concludes with a brief analysis by the medical team of the session and its aftermath.

The concepts of set and setting, which were being developed at the time, were not adopted by the French teams, who remained within the framework of shock therapy. Patients were given no information concerning the expected effects, no support to reassure them during the experience, and their requests for contact were systematically interpreted in erotic terms. Despite their panic (which could go as far as vomiting), some were left alone. Doctors also sought to refine what they knew about reactions to LSD, and did not hesitate to test their patients to observe their behavior, for example by trying to make them believe that the injection they had received did not actually contain any substance. Under these conditions, session reports were mostly tinged with anguish and even terror. Although the team reported one case of recovery and 4 cases of “slight improvement,” the majority of patients experienced a worsening of their condition as a result of the experience.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>This exceptional archive gives","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":"89 2","pages":"Pages 377-398"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140084008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas contemporary discourses tend to emphasize the role of lived events in the emergence of a psychopathological picture, we aim to demonstrate how psychoanalysis operates a shift in perspective vis-à-vis deterministic and linear explanatory models. Focusing on the case of a psychotic patient in his fifties who had lost his sight following a gunshot wound, we demonstrate how psychoanalysis invites us not to place the emphasis intrinsically on a past event. Rather, it suggests looking at the singular and unpredictable response of the subject as an individual, in a diachronic perspective that takes into account the importance of temporality and hindsight. In this way, I was able to study how this patient gradually integrated the traumatic event into a singular subjective construct. In turn, this allowed me to understand the stabilizing mechanisms of this construct, through the prism of the Freudian hypothesis of delusion as an “attempt at healing”.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>The method I adopted is that of the single case study. This approach was chosen as it is the only one that can illustrate the singularity of the subject's response in its diachronic character. In particular, I deliberately chose the style of an analytical case study. This differs from the ideal of scientific objectivity insofar as the psychoanalytic technique is characterized by the importance given to the transferential dimension in the cure, and thus calls upon the subjectivity of the therapist. Thus, I endeavored to reconstruct the history of this patient in its diachronic unfolding, by recounting the biographical and anamnestic elements as they appeared during the clinical encounter. To support this further, I integrated elements from the archival consultation of medical records. I then studied the evolution of the patient's subjective position through the prism of Freudian and Lacanian theories on psychosis.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>A psychoanalytic approach made it possible to demonstrate that in this patient, his position as the object of an injury predated the occurrence of his wounding by firearm. This later event was thus initially reintegrated, by him, within the framework of the logic of the delusion of persecution that predated it. Nevertheless, the social recognition of his position as a victim may have induced in him a pacifying effect. He was able to reinterpret the event in the aftermath, based on the construct of a position of exception. In that position, he assumed the figure of the ‘seer’ who played the role of naming, leading to a significant appeasement of the persecution anxieties.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>Here I propose a discussion of the possible similarities between the position of exception constructed by this patient, and the cases of President Schreber and the writer","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":"89 2","pages":"Pages 323-355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141095202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Canguilhem, then a young philosopher, medical student, and member of the French Resistance, defends the self-determination of the living individual, capable of judging what is normal or pathological – categories subsequently adopted by medicine and physiology – as well as a conception of the medical practice tailored to the singular situation. His argumentation is largely based on the theories of psychiatrists, yet excludes psychopathology from its scope.

Canguilhem responds to the latter by proposing the concept of vital normativity, which follows on from earlier work on psychology, presented in high school courses in the 1930s and in a <em>Traité de psychologie</em>, never published, which already promoted a subject able to value, to commit, and thus to escape from the determinism of his environment and organism. Regarding the relationship between science and technology, which Canguilhem began to conceptualize at the very end of the 1930s, in his <em>Essai</em>, he proposes a path that reverses that of positivism, moving from clinical practice to science, in which the former is clarified by the latter; however, scientific psychology cannot play a role equivalent to physiology in psychological care. Indeed, Canguilhem considers psychology's claim to objectivity incompatible with the respect for subjectivity that his <em>psychologie réflexive</em>, on the contrary, defends. To conclude, I examine Canguilhem's few writings on psychotherapy, as well as those on psychopharmacology.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>I discuss the clinical consequences of the inability of scientific psychology to play a role in psychotherapy similar to that of physiology in medicine.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Canguilhem's conception of psychological care is essentially a defense of human dignity, based on a philosophical, not a scientific, theory of the individual.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":"89 2","pages":"Pages 357-376"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139877713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
