Alain de Mijolla

Alain de Mijolla (15 May 1933, in Paris – 24 January 2019) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. Mijolla was analyzed by Conrad Stein and Denise Braunschweig. He became a psychoanalyst in the Societe psychanalytique de Paris in 1968, and was by 2001 a training analyst there.[1]

He also created and chaired the International Association of History of the Psychoanalysis (AIHP),[2] and received the Mary S. Sigourney Award in 2004.[3] He died on 24 January 2019, aged 85.[4]

Writings

De Mijolla wrote numerous articles and works; he also edited psychoanalytical collections at several publishers, including the three volumes of the International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis.[5]

In a 1987 paper on identification in the family, he highlighted how Sigmund Freud's creativity can be linked with his identification with the prestige of his grandfather.[6]

His article "Freud and the Psychoanalytic Situation on the Screen" stressed the difficulties of representing the psychoanalytic setting in cinematic terms.[7]
