A French-language psychoanalytic study examining neuroses through the theories and clinical concerns of early twentieth-century psychoanalysis. The work addresses neurotic symptoms as expressions of psychic conflict, repression, and disturbances in emotional development, situating its discussion within the broader effort to understand mental distress through psychoanalytic interpretation. René Laforgue’s text reflects the period in which psychoanalysis was being developed, debated, and applied in medical and psychological contexts. It is written for readers interested in the history of psychoanalytic thought, clinical approaches to neurosis, and the intellectual foundations of modern mental health theory. The associated edition presents the work as a substantial nonfiction volume, making it relevant to collections focused on psychology, psychiatry, psychoanalytic literature, and the history of medicine.
