Life

Born in Tunisia, she moved to the suburb of Vincennes with her parents as a toddler . Her father was a gastroenterologist and communist, her mother was a lawyer. She had a sister (Beatrice) and a brother (Frederik).

Elsa Cayat was considered by Paris Match to be one of the best psychoanalysts of the Lacanian school in Paris. At the age of 22, at the end of her medical studies, she achieved the status of an internal member of the Hopitaux de Paris (Parisian hospital association). The Paris Internes form the top of France's medical elite; access is regulated by an extremely demanding academic selection (concours).

In addition to her psychological and psychiatric work in her own practice, she also worked as an author and columnist. She published the regular bi-weekly column "Charlie Divan" (based on the couch of the psychoanalyst) in the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo , in which she dealt with current problems of education, gender relations, French society in general and the emergence of the Holocaust . In doing so, she regularly referred to experiences in her psychiatric and psychoanalytic practice. In the summer of 2014, she went to Peru with Stéphane Charbonnier to try out the active ingredient in the peyote cactus . She last lived on Avenue Mozart .

Elsa Cayat was killed along with nine other people in the terrorist attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo during an editorial conference. Cayat's niece, Sophie Bramly, said Cayat had received death threats months earlier if she continued to work at Charlie Hebdo; she was insulted as a “dirty Jew”. She was buried on the Cimetière Montparnasse .

Elsa Cayat was married and has a 20-year-old daughter.
