It can happen that a law incurs the wrath of the very people it set
out to protect. This is what happened in France at the end of 2003
with the Accoyer Amendment, a Bill that intended to regulate the
exercise of psychotherapies even at the cost of the disappearance
of psychoanalysis itself. The public that this law was supposed to
protect thus ran the risk of finding themselves stripped of certain
freedoms that democracy usually guarantees. How had it become
possible to reach such a point? This is what this book sets out to
examine. Evaluation and cognitive-behavioural scientism, which have
been progressively infiltrating different forms of knowledge with
destructive effect, undoubtedly played a major role. And then, the
International Psychoanalytical Association, despite having been
founded by Freud to protect his invention, started to endorse the
forced cognitivisation of psychoanalysis. Meanwhile, psychiatry
slid back into its nineteenth century hygienic obscurantism and its
new recruit, epidemiology, began playing host to racialist
discourses.
