Revue Française de Psychanalyse is a French scholarly periodical dedicated to psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice. The journal has functioned as a venue for debates among prominent figures and institutions in European psychoanalytic movements, engaging with debates across Parisian, Viennese, London, New York, and Buenos Aires circles. It has published work that intersects with major personalities and organizations in twentieth‑ and twenty‑first‑century psychoanalysis.
Founded in the interwar period, the journal emerged amid controversies involving Sigmund Freud, Sándor Ferenczi, Carl Jung, Melanie Klein, Anna Freud, and institutions such as the International Psychoanalytical Association, the British Psychoanalytical Society, and the Société Psychanalytique de Paris. Early issues responded to debates triggered by the Freudian corpus, exchanges with the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society, and reactions to figures like Wilfred Bion, Jacques Lacan, Heinz Hartmann, and Erik Erikson. During and after World War II the journal's pages reflected tensions connected to émigré analysts from Vienna, Berlin, Prague, and Budapest and dialogues with clinics in London, New York City, and Buenos Aires. Postwar periods feature contributions engaging with movements led by Donald Winnicott, John Bowlby, Françoise Dolto, Élisabeth Roudinesco, and Jean Laplanche. Later decades included exchanges involving Jacques-Alain Miller, André Green, Julian Jaynes, Julia Kristeva, Cornelius Castoriadis, Pierre Janet, and interlocutors from Columbia University, Université Paris VIII, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, and the Université de Paris. The journal's trajectory intersects with events such as the May 1968 events in France, professional reorganizations like the formation of the Association Psychanalytique de France, and international congresses of the International Psychoanalytical Association.
The editorial board historically has included members associated with institutions such as the Société Psychanalytique de Paris, the Association Psychanalytique de France, the École Freudienne de Paris, and university departments at Université Paris Descartes, Université Paris Diderot, Sorbonne University, King's College London, Columbia University, and New York University. Editors and board members have included analysts and scholars linked to names like Jacques Lacan, Françoise Dolto, André Green, Jean Bergeret, Jean Laplanche, Élisabeth Roudinesco, Philippe Lacadée, and Serge Leclaire. Publishing frequency and format evolved in dialogue with publishers connected to Parisian presses and international distributors serving collections alongside journals such as International Journal of Psychoanalysis and The International Journal of Psychoanalysis. The journal's print and later digital editions adhere to peer review practices shared with journals housed at institutions like Éditions Payot, Presses Universitaires de France, and university presses affiliated with Harvard University, Yale University, and Oxford University.
Content spans clinical case studies echoing traditions from Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud, and Melanie Klein to theoretical essays engaging with Jacques Lacan, Wilfred Bion, Melanie Kleinans, and contemporary analysts such as André Green and Françoise Dolto. The journal publishes debates on infant observation influenced by Donald Winnicott and attachment research linked to John Bowlby, psychoanalytic readings of literature referencing Marcel Proust, Victor Hugo, Charles Baudelaire, and Stendhal, and cross‑disciplinary work that dialogues with philosophers and theorists like Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Julia Kristeva, Slavoj Žižek, Cornelius Castoriadis, and Paul Ricœur. It has featured historical studies concerning Pierre Janet, archival research involving correspondence with Sigmund Freud and Sándor Ferenczi, and methodological discussions connecting to institutions such as Maison des Sciences de l'Homme and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. The journal also addresses clinical ethics debated in contexts such as the World Health Organization conferences and European professional bodies like the European Federation of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapies.
The journal has shaped French and international psychoanalytic practice and scholarship, informing training at centers like the Société Psychanalytique de Paris, Association Psychanalytique de France, École Freudienne de Paris, and university programs at Université Paris VIII and Sorbonne University. Citations and controversies in the pages influenced public debates involving intellectuals such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, and Raymond Aron. Reviews and responses have appeared in comparative venues like International Journal of Psychoanalysis, American Journal of Psychiatry, British Journal of Psychiatry, The Lancet Psychiatry, and European Journal of Psychoanalysis. Its reception sometimes intersected with legal and institutional disputes involving the Cour de cassation (France) and professional associations in France and Belgium. Conferences and symposia referencing the journal have been hosted at institutions such as Collège de France, École Normale Supérieure, Maison Française d'Oxford, New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and Buenos Aires Psychoanalytic Association.
