«La question de l'analyse profane» is Sigmund Freud's essay on psychoanalysis, published by Folio in paperback (208 pages, in French).
Freud wrote this essay in 1926, following the complaint against Theodor Reik, a member of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society, accused of practising medicine without a degree. In a dialogue with an «impartial interlocutor», he argues that the analyst's legitimacy derives from psychoanalysis itself, not from the medical profession.
The work was published in German as Die Frage der Laienanalyse; this French edition includes a preface by J.-B. Pontalis, a 1927 postface and a dossier by Michel Schneider (Folio Essais collection).
For readers interested in psychoanalysis, in Freud's work and in the debate on the training and legitimacy of therapists.
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for evaluating and treating pathologies arising from conflicts in the psyche through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst, and the distinctive theory of mind and human agency derived from it.
