Abstract:
This article raises the question of the relations between Catholicism and psychoanalysis by proposing to explore the contribution of André Lussier to the journal Cité libre . In a few striking essays published at the turn of the 1960s, this former student of Anna Freud and pioneer of psychoanalysis in Montreal observes the malaise afflicting Quebec Catholicism. The severe diagnosis he makes concerning Catholic culture highlights two significant pathologies: a neurotic clergy-layperson relationship in the form of a parent-child dynamic, and an unbalanced economy of gender relations. The radical nature of their content makes the writings of André Lussier harbingers of the disintegration, in Quebec cultural ideology, of the Catholic reformist movement.
