Abstract "This book provides a psychoanalytic reading of works of literature, enhancing the illuminating effect of both fields. The first of two volumes, the work contains 7 of the "Madness and the Social Link" seminars given by psychoanalyst Jean-Max Gaudilli©·re at the EHESS (©œcole des Hautes ©œtudes en Sciences Sociales) in Paris between 1985 and 2000, transcribed by Fran©ʹoise 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"-- Provided by publisher.
