Par Jean-Charles Bouchoux. 2009

colère, nous avons tous fait l'expérience de ces débordements irrépressibles d'énergie. La psychanalyse parle de pulsions. Si un simple fou rire ne prête pas à conséquences, l'évacuation de nos pulsions peut prendre des chemins plus pernicieux : actes manqués, somatisation, transposition d'un sentiment d'amour en haine, etc. Qu'est-ce qu'une pulsion ? Quels sont ses mécanismes d'expression ? Sommes-nous tous égaux face à nos pulsions ? Ce petit guide fait le point sur la notion de pulsion en psychanalyse, en s'appuyant notamment sur les outils que Freud et ses successeurs nous ont légués. En prime, il nous invite à reconnaître et canaliser nos propres pulsions, pour les mettre au service de nos projets et de nos ambitions. -- 4e de couvRené Angélil: l'homme derrière Céline Dion
