Le clinicien ne peut que s'incliner devant la réalité contraignante de la destructivité. Intrapsychique ou intersubjective, s'exprimant somatiquement ou psychiquement, souvent énigmatique, elle questionne et fait théoriser nous laissant dans de nombreuses incertitudes. La névrose traumatique et son syndrome central : la compulsion de répétition. Les résistances dans les cures sans fin et l'observation d'un enfant qui joue en mettant en scène la disparition de sa mère constituent les hypothèses cliniques qui vont permettre à Freud d'introduire en 1920 le concept de pulsion de mort qu'il nomme d'emblée pulsion de destruction. Tout au long de son travail, il insistera de plus en plus sur l'importance de cette pulsion. Ainsi écrit-il dans « Le malaise dans la culture » ; « Je ne peux pas comprendre comment nous avons pu négliger l'universalité de l'agression non érotique et de la destruction». La pulsion de mort est alors définie comme une manifestation de la tendance à la réduction absolue des tensions, au retour vers l'état inorganique, vers la mort et rend compte de la compulsion de répétition dans la vie psychique qui se place « au-delà du principe de plaisir ». Elle représente ce qu'il y a en nous de plus originaire, d'élémentaire et de pulsionnel. Elle pousse à la déliaison, à la séparation. Elle sera aussi considérée par Freud comme pulsion d'emprise et volonté de puissance. Partant de cette conceptualisation, des cliniciens, pour la plupart psychanalystes, s'interrogent sur la destructivité psychique. Serait-elle un représentant de la pulsion de mort, un signe de désintrication pulsionnelle , une marque de l'agressivité primaire ? Les auteurs de cet ouvrage (Dominique Arnoux, Maurizio Balsamo, Dominique Cupa, Bernard Golse, Sylvain Missonnier, Denys Ribas, Jean-François Saucier, Claude Smadja) proposent différentes réponses et en tirent les conséquences pour leur pratique.

In this comprehensive handbook, Charles Corr and David Balk improve our understanding of the challenges faced by adolescents when coping with death, dying, and bereavement. The volume is organized into three parts. Part I addresses specific issues involved in confrontations with death. Part II focuses on the role of bereavement. Part III explains specific therapeutic interventions for caregivers. The authors introduce us to adolescence as a special time in the human life cycle, a period quite separate from childhood and adulthood. They establish normative adolescents, and explain developmental

"Death inhabits our collective imaginary, even though sometimes, like a squatter, it hides discretely in order to avoid conflicts. It is undoubtedly a multi-faceted subject of study, which requires consideration from an interdisciplinary perspective. This book deals with this phenomenon, and more specifically with the discourses that surround -and construct our perspectives and understanding of- death and dying. Of course, the present volume does not attempt to be exhaustive, and considers the subject from several standpoints, including linguistics, anthropology, history of medicine, and importantly, literary studies. It combines various points of view and different methodologies of knowledge, in the hope that they come together to constitute a written dialogue -or more precisely, a polylogue. The ordering of the texts in this volume provides readers with an itinerary that begins with more general approaches, such as a historical presentation of the medicalisation of death and an in-depth reflection on the best way to die, and ends with studies of specific literary works from different periods. The itinerary that this book provides is framed by a discourse analysis-based overview that explores how different approaches to death and dying intersect and complement each other in an interdisciplinary endeavour. This analysis focuses on literary and non-literary genres in order to shed some new light on a topic that is inexhaustible because of its sociocultural relevance"--

Dozens of books, articles, television shows, and films relating ""near-death"" experiences have appeared in the past decade. People who have survived a close brush with death reveal their extraordinary visions and ecstatic feelings at the moment they died, describing journeys through a tunnel to a realm of light, visual reviews of their past deeds, encounters with a benevolent spirit, and permanent transformation after returning to life. Carol Zaleski's Otherworld Journeys offers the most comprehensive treatment to date of the evidence surrounding near-death experiences. The first to pla

Simultaneously real and unreal, the dead are people, yet they are not. The society of medieval Europe developed a rich set of imaginative traditions about death and the afterlife, using the dead as a point of entry for thinking about the self, regeneration, and loss. These macabre preoccupations are evident in the widespread popularity of stories about the returned dead, who interacted with the living both as disembodied spirits and as living corpses or revenants. In Afterlives, Nancy Mandeville Caciola explores this extraordinary phenomenon of the living's relationship with the dead in Europe during the five hundred years after the year 1000.Caciola considers both Christian and pagan beliefs, showing how certain traditions survived and evolved over time, and how attitudes both diverged and overlapped through different contexts and social strata. As she shows, the intersection of Christian eschatology with various pagan afterlife imaginings-from the classical paganisms of the Mediterranean to the Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and Scandinavian paganisms indigenous to northern Europe-brought new cultural values about the dead into the Christian fold as Christianity spread across Europe. Indeed, the Church proved surprisingly open to these influences, absorbing new images of death and afterlife in unpredictable fashion. Over time, however, the persistence of regional cultures and beliefs would be counterbalanced by the effects of an increasingly centralized Church hierarchy. Through it all, one thing remained constant: the deep desire in medieval people to bring together the living and the dead into a single community enduring across the generations.
