Henri Ey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henri Ey , sometimes also Henry Ey , (born August 10, 1900 in Banyuls-dels-Aspres , Département Pyrénées-Orientales ; † November 8, 1977 ibid) was a French psychiatrist .

Life

Henri Ey worked as a doctor for neurology and psychiatry at the Paris clinic Center hospitalier Sainte-Anne in the 14th arrondissement of Paris , where he was a student of Henri Claude (1869–1945) and a colleague of Jacques Lacan (1901–1981) in the 1930s . Henri Ey took over the conception of psychodynamism from his teacher Claude. As for the attitude in France towards Freud and psychoanalysis , he took a position comparable to Jacques Lacan. He also dealt with the work of Eugen Bleuler . He took over the management of the Bonneval psychiatric hospital in the Beauce . There he held colloquia at which psychoanalysts , psychiatrists and thinkers from various currents gathered.

Services

Henri Ey developed the organodynamic theory in 1936 and advocated the combination of neurology and psychiatry, i. H. for the synopsis of organic and psychological points of view. Psychoanalysis should only take over the legacy of psychiatry in this way, since he saw it as a branch of a dynamic psychiatry , as it had already developed in France independently of Freud, see French vitalism and the Montpellier school .

From 1945 he was editor of the magazine L'évolution psychiatrique , in which he expressed his views on a humanistic psychiatry. In 1950 he founded the Association mondiale de psychiatrie . Contrary to his intention, however, this continued as a typical US-American organization of the World Psychiatric Association and preferred a behavioral description for the classification of psychiatric diseases, dispensing with dynamic aspects.

Stavros Mentzos also regrets this tendency to develop under the influence of American psychiatric organizations . He emphasizes the importance of the psychodynamic point of view with regard to triggering pathogenetic elements of illness by presenting, with reference to Henri Ey, the discussion of opposing views on the various concepts of defense versus defect .
