Have you ever thought about consulting “someone”? While mental health has become a major public health issue since the Covid pandemic, the effectiveness of “talk therapy”, psychoanalysis, is now being questioned. Misunderstood discipline or outdated practice? This is what we seek to determine in this series of four episodes.
While the practice has become marginal in most countries, psychoanalysis remains well established in France. Where does this French exception come from? The answer in this first episode with Victor Garcia, journalist in the Science and Health department, and Etienne Girard, editor-in-chief of the Society department.
Freud, Lacan, Dolto… In this second episode, we explore the flaws in the theories of the founding fathers with Jacques Van Rillaer, a former psychoanalyst who became a critic of the discipline.
Psychoanalysis has thousands of practitioners in France. However, training is almost non-existent and regulation is insufficient. In this third episode, we review the excesses of the discipline with Stéphanie Benz, deputy editor-in-chief of Sciences et Santé, and journalist Alexis Da Silva who regularly collaborates with L’Express.
Scientific studies leave no room for doubt. In this latest episode, Victor Garcia, a journalist in the Science and Health department, explains to us that the discipline is unsuitable for treating neurodevelopmental disorders.
