Jean-Daniel CAUSSE
LA CURE PSYCHANALYTIQUE :
UN SALUT PROFANE ?
Résumé
Abstract
Can there be salvation without God and, if so, can psychoanalytic therapy be one of its expressions? Considering the case of the French psychoanalyst François Dolto, who was inclined to see psychoanalysis as a secularized sequel to Christian tradition, Jean-Daniel Causse distinguishes four topics around which Christian salvation and psychoanalytic therapy could possibly meet-the importance of belief, the function of the word, the openness to some grace, and the issue of self-acceptance-and evaluates the relevance of the Christian concept of salvation in the light of such classical themes as victory upon sin and death.
