DESTINY OF THE FOREIGNER TO BE
Our psychotherapeutic experience in handling immigrant patients tends to bring us to this following conclusion- In most cases, those patients already were seen as «foreigners» in their own countries. We would then have to go back to what we consider being «the place of a foreigner,» here in our country.
According to us, migration is an actual socio-economic phenomenon, which consists of possibly crossing least one border (...) - 5. Publications and on-line available texts

From Freudian Symptom to Lacanian Sinthom

Translation from French By Mosito LELIMO
From Freudian Symptoms to Lacanian Sinthom
What is a psycho-analytical symptom?
What do we mean by psycho-analytical symptom or symptom in a psychoanalytical sense? To try to answer this question I followed a considerable number of criteria, the criteria which are usually ascribed to symptoms or the ones used to draw the distinction between symptoms in a psycho-analytical sense and, for example, the symptoms in medical or social sense. Our objective (...) - 5. Publications and on-line available texts

"It would be impossible that those moments leave no deep marks in our minds. They may be remaining, hiding in our brains just like a roll of film. And one day in real life, if we manage to live, they will begin unrolling, unrolling to madness.” Julius Fucik June 9th, 1943, (Czech patriot, imprisoned and tortured in Ravensbrück, shot down in Berlin by the Gestapo September 8th, 1943.)

Stranger on earth, by jean Servier

Jean SERVIER — 2009-06-18T21:19:51Z

I AM A STRANGER ON EARTH... (Psalm 119:19)
DO NOT CONCEAL YOUR COMMANDMENTS
Jean Servier
I chose this verse as a title for many reasons: stranger outside of a socially constructed group; stranger in this world; stranger within one's physical body. Words of this psalmist underline the ambiguousness of a term we will try to redefine. This task would be easier for an ethnologist who, for long periods, spent part of his life living with populations and observing them without (...) - 5. Publications and on-line available texts

Ordinary trauma, by Alain Bihr

Ordinary trauma
by Alain Bihr
INTRODUCTION
I suppose most of you are intrigued by the theme of my conference, which is literally paradoxical. I will then introduce the title and justify it. « Ordinary trauma» is a combination of words, or it seems like it. In fact, trauma inevitably evokes the idea that of an event or an abnormal situation: serious accident, exceptional situations (death of a loved one), indeed experiences such as imprisonment, war, torture etc), all things that notably (...) - 5.

Intervention during the third meeting of the European Association of Psychoanalysis in Strasbourg, on 28 November 2003: THE NEW ISSUES OF PSYCHOANALYSIS IN EUROPE.
INTRODUCTION
A psychoanalytic institution has been created in Morocco in December 2001: the Moroccan Psychoanalytic Society (MPS). It came from a wish of foundation and a repetitive request for training from practitioners working in both psychiatric and psychological fields.
Many factors made this passing on possible: they (...) - 5. Publications and on-line available texts

IS INTERPRETER-MEDIATED PSYCHOTHERAPY POSSIBLE? by Bertrand PIRET

Dr Bertrand Piret — 2007-09-24T21:45:56Z

PRESENTATION
The system we set up in order to receive patients from abroad is based on the involvement of an interpreter. How does this trio, made up of the western therapist, the interpreter and the patient, work? The interpreter's function is not reduced merely to “translation”; neither can it be described just as “mediation”, albeit intercultural. We will try to define the limits and ambiguities of such positions, in the light of the following two facts: the (...) - 5.

Language transition and speech mediation, by Martine Chessari-Porée du Breil

Martine CHESSARI POREE DU BREIL — 2007-09-24T21:45:30Z

A few months ago, when Bertrand Piret asked me for a title for the preparation of these days, I suggested “language transition and speech mediation”. I make no secret of the fact that it took me a long time before I found something to say about it. So it is a good example of how difficult it is to loosen a speech; actually, this is what I felt. Then, I started my work, the one I lead for 3 months with asylum seekers, and, from this experience, I could start developing some (...) - 5.
