Biografisk notat
Michel de M'Uzan is a neuropsychiatrist and psychoanalyst. He is a former director of the Institut de Psychanalyse of the Paris Psychoanalytic Society (SPP), a founding member of the Paris Institute of Psychosomatics (IPSO), and co-director of the collection 'Le Fil Rouge' at the Presses Universitaires de France. He has published several books on psychoanalysis, including 'De l'art a la mort', 'La Bouche de l'inconscient', and 'Aux confins de l'identite', as well as several fictional works. He is also the author of the 'Anthologie du delire' (Rocher, 1956).'With the double, the paraphrenic twin, the spectrum of identities, the chimera, paradoxical thinking, the same and the identical, the economic scandal, the vital-identical programme, the work of dying, and other original contributions by de M'Uzan, you are entering the world of an analyst that harmoniously conjugates a refined description of the single analytic session with an encompassing view of the mind, or, more to the point, of the psyche-soma. Reading de M'Uzan offers a fresh outlook on clinical work and a refreshing perspective on the possibilities of psychoanalysis in various domains. Indeed, Michel de M'Uzan is a psychoanalyst who throughout his long career of more than fifty years has been able to build creatively on Freud's discoveries in many important domains: in psychoanalysis proper, of course, but also in psychosomatics, in his work with terminally ill patients, and in the field of artistic creation.'- Professor Dominique Scarfone, Professor at the Department of Psychology of the Universite de Montreal, and associate editor of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis
Through this invigorating recognition of the unconscious with the emergence, at the heart of analysis, of 'paradoxical thoughts'. Michel de M'Uzan leads us along a path that is in keeping with the purist tradition of Freudian thought, that of 'the uncanny' and its creative powers.
