The Moroccan Association of Psychodynamic Psychiatry organizes on March 11 and 12 in Oujda, its inaugural colloquium, devoted to psychoanalysis, to the intersection of disciplines.
It is at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Oujda that the Moroccan Association of Psychodynamic Psychiatry has decided to hold its symposium, a conference dedicated to the influence of psychoanalysis and its interactions with other disciplines. Psychiatry, anthropology, philosophy, sociology, neurosciences… So many disciplinary fields to which psychoanalysis applies, responding to them in its practice.
This international meeting has chosen to devote itself to the interactions of psychoanalysis with sociology and philosophy, due to the place occupied by the psyche, for example, in the evolution or formation of a society. For Dr HachemTYAL, Moroccan psychiatrist and president of this meeting “In sociology, psychoanalysis is likely to enrich this discipline by bringing a look at the way in which the psyche of humans can influence the evolution or the formation of society. At the same time, psychoanalysis must refrain from giving answers where economic, technical and political readings provide other insights. »
As for psychiatry, specifies Dr. Hachem TYAL, “since Freud, its links with psychoanalysis have varied over the decades. It thus went from an impressive craze in the post-war period to a great discredit with the younger generations of psychiatrists. This results in placing psychiatry permanently in a purely descriptive and classificatory clinical perspective to the detriment of a psychopathological understanding of the individual”. At the same time, the differences which separate philosophy and psychoanalysis do not prevent them from being linked, the two disciplines not being able to conceive one without the other.
The opening lecture of the 1st Oujda symposium on psychoanalysis was given by Pr. Maria Amon who focused on “Dynamic Psychiatry, a concept of multidisciplinary treatment both theoretically and practically” and will be moderated Professor Khalid HAJJI.
The event was also an opportunity to meet the students, a meeting that came back to “Mental illness: Brain disease or psyche disease? », a subject that is more topical than ever. The conference counted the participation of HouriaAbdelouahed, Jalil Bennani, Michel Botbol, Rachid Alouane, Driss Moussaoui and was moderated by Hachem Tyal and Khalid Serraj.
Psychoanalysis between century-old theory and future practice, new demands for psychic care and post-modern clinics, the Cartesian cogito deconstructed by psychoanalytic theory, personal opinion and psychiatric opinion: What borders and Antidepressants and psychotherapy: A real antinomy? … So many questions posed by this colloquium, under the theme “Psychoanalysis, at the intersection of disciplines”, particularly in the particular context of the Arab-Muslim world facing a West in full effervescence.
