Résumé
--
Chaplain to mental health patients, Frédéric Le Gal investigates the possible links between psychiatry, psychoanalysis and spirituality. In 2003, La Folie saine et sauve , published by Editions du Cerf, revealed the ‘spiritual’ dimension of madness according to Antique tradition— both Greek and Biblical—as well as in the Christian religion. This new take on madness, rooted in a spiritual perspective, is described in the context of daily clinical practice. Spiritual heir of Father Marc-François Lacan, brother of Jacques Lacan, Frédéric Le Gal tries to identify what the visions of the cleric and the psychoanalyst have in common. Délires et sérénité focuses especially on the extraordinary case of a young woman, Louise de Bellère du Tronchay, who, in the 17th century, prayed for the grace of madness in order to bear witness to her love for God. This presents an exemplary challenge to differentiate and distinguish what results from paranoia —pathological madness— from what would be metanoia — a radical and total conversion of the self to the Other. With the story of Louise du Néant, we focus on the ‘subject’ the ‘status of the subject’ and its possible metamorphosis. This spiritual reading of the remarkable life of ‘Louise la Folle’, who bore the stigmata of madness and saintliness, aims to pay homage to all men and women who, suffering from mental illness, experience a spiritual élan towards the God of hope.
