Abstract EN:

The ideal of wholeness and genital harmony is the point aimed at in a certain conception of psychoanalysis, specially amongst the so-called post-freudians analysts, who have thus turned away from the foundations of freud's theory. It is always particularly difficult to have the obsessional neurotic fit into this narrow frame, because his phallic requirements do not allow such a strategy pointing toward wholeness. Such as it is, efforts to solve this difficulty call on reality and the so-called active techniques, in order to draw the obsessional back to norm. The concepts jacques lacan introduces aim at the rectification of such deviations, focusing on the elements of the obsessive structure : problems such as phallicism, the father, the debt and relations to time and death. Through the support of these extensive categories, we propose to examine the work of freud and of certain post-freudians in in order to establish what is to be considered as the correct strategy for the direction of the treatment in the cure of the obsessional neurotic.

Abstract FR:

L'ideal de la totalite et de l'harmonie genitale est l'horizon d'une certaine conception de la psychanalyse, notamment chez les analystes dits post-freudiens, qui se sont ainsi ecartes des fondements de la theorie de freud. Le sujet obsessionnel est particulierement difficile a cadrer dans ces conceptions etroites, car le phallicisme de son monde ne se prete pas a cette strategie de la totalite. Ainsi, les tentatives de resolution de cette difficulte font appel a la realite et aux techniques dites actives pour ramener l'obsessionnel a la norme. Les idees de jacques lacan interviennent pour rectifier ces deviations, a travers la mise en valeur des elements de la structure obsessionnelle : le phallicisme, la question du pere et de la dette, la jouissance. Le rapport au temps et a la mort. Nous proposons, a l'aide de ces grandes categories, un examen de l'oeuvre de freud et de certains post-freudiens, pour degager ce que nous considerons comme la strategie correcte de la direction de la cure de l'obsessionnel.
