Psychoanalysis Today Between the Claustrum of the Session and the Agora Effect of the Maison Verte

Abstract

The creation of the Maison Verte, far from being simply a prophylactic application of psychoanalysis, as it is usually thought to be, marked rather a historical passage for the latter: a passage from the nineteenth century bourgeois private rituals enclosed in posh consulting rooms to the people in the street and their children, the wider world en suffrance. This displacement of psychoanalysis into the public space brings about a great change in the very position of the psychoanalyst. Once past the threshold of the Maison Verte, having left behind the dialogue of the intimacy of private sessions, which still retain their original hypnotic root, the psychoanalyst enters a space that is both familiar and foreign; a reflection of the unconscious that palpitates in a place that welcomes the free unfolding of primary relationships, both within and away from the mother-child claustrum as well as from the analyst-analysand cloister.
