Pourquoi la psychanalyse ?

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.45
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Pourquoi consacrer tant de temps à la cure par la parole quand les médicaments, parce qu'ils agissent directement sur les symptômes des maladies nerveuses et mentales, donnent des résultats plus rapides ? Les théoriciens du cerveau-machine n'ont-ils pas en outre réduit en cendre les chimériques constructions freudiennes ? Dans ces conditions, la psychanalyse a-t-elle un avenir ? C'est à ces trois questions qu'Elisabeth Roudinesco répond dans cet essai combatif, informé, résolument critique des prétentions contemporaines à convertir la science en religion et à regarder l'homme comme un automate. Les médicaments ? Chacun sait que la France fait grande consommation de psychotropes pour soigner l'angoisse, la dépression, la folie, les névroses, et on ne saurait nier leur efficacité. Faut-il pour autant réduire la pensée à un neurone et confondre le désir avec une sécrétion chimique ?
