This book provides a psychoanalytic reading of works of literature,
enhancing the illuminating effect of both fields. The first of two
volumes, Madness and the Social Link: The Jean-Max Gaudilliere
Seminars 1985-2000 contains seven of the "Madness and the Social
Link" seminars given by psychoanalyst Jean-Max Gaudilliere at the
Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris
between 1985 and 2000, transcribed by Francoise Davoine from her
notes. Each year, the seminar was dedicated to an author who
explored madness in his depiction of the catastrophes of history.
Surprising the reader at every turn, the seminars speak of the
close intertwining of personal lives and catastrophic historical
events, and of the possibility of repairing injury to the psyche,
the mind, and the body in their wake. These volumes expose the
usefulness of literature as a tool for healing, for all those
working in therapeutic fields, and will allow lovers of literature
to discover a way of reading that gives access to more subtle
perspectives and unsuspected interrelations.
