Paul Sollier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Sollier (born August 31, 1861 in Bléré , Département Indre-et-Loire , † June 8, 1933 in Paris ) was a French neurologist and psychologist. He worked on neurological syndromes, hysteria , memory , emotions and idiotism . While his scientific work has largely been forgotten, he is best known today as the doctor in charge of the writer Marcel Proust (1871–1922).

Life

Sollier studied medicine with Désiré-Magloire Bourneville at the Bicêtre and Jean-Martin Charcot at the Hôpital Salpêtrière . Along with Joseph Babinski, he was considered Charcot's most gifted student. In 1890 Sollier received his doctorate with a thesis on the psychology of idiot ( Psychologie de l'idiot et de l'imbéciler ; German 1891: The Idiot and the Imbecille ). In 1897 he was appointed to the sanatorium of Boulogne-Billancourt . A year later he began to give regular lectures at the Université nouvelle de Bruxelles . During the First World War, from 1914 to 1917, he headed a military center for neurology in Lyon .

On December 6, 1905, Marcel Proust went to Boulogne-Billancourt for six weeks on the recommendation of his doctor Édouard Brissaud for the treatment of his " neurasthenia ". Sollier treated him there with isolation and “involuntary memories”. On the subject of “memory”, Sollier had already published Les Troubles de la Mémoire in 1892 and Le Problème de la Mémoire in 1900 . In the latter work in particular, he analyzed in detail the phenomenon of “involuntary memories”, which he worked out into a therapeutic approach. While Proust later reported little and nothing good about his therapy, Sollier's influence on Proust's novel In Search of Lost Time has recently been highlighted.
