Since the beginning of this "pandemic", I had only written a brief article on "health totalitarianism", needing myself to see it clearly enough with hindsight to make a decision. Nevertheless, we can recognize, at a global level, with some nuances depending on the country, the mark of a delusional paranoiac contagion which shows its odious face more and more every day.

We could also say "the project is to save humanity, by killing humanity". Concretely, where I am in Colombia, the forced quarantine since the end of March is causing real hunger. No welfare, no income, no retirement, no social security, no unemployment. People are starving. Animals too. Really, is it the health of the people that we are concerned about?

Not only is bullying the masterpiece of the paranoiac, but the delusional contagion acting under its impulse degrades the mental health of all members of the bullying group.

Paranoiac delusion has the particularity of being contagious... In this context, the psychological mechanisms at work are notably the collusion between the melancholic core of the paranoiac and the traces of unresolved pathological mourning in the "paranoee". One of the most essential mysteries to be solved in the field of the human psyche lies in the delusional contagion of paranoia. In fact, the only delusion capable of operating by contagion is paranoiac delusion...

Harassment in the workplace is a delicate subject to deal with. Moreover, company management and, more generally, all the social actors concerned, seem helpless when accusations of harassment emerge. Most often, it is panic, giving rise to inertia or, on the contrary, to escalation.

This letter is a response to the American Professor Judith Reisman who asked me some questions in relation to the very common beliefs in USA supposedly based on Freud about the “psychosexual development” of the child and justifying the precocious sexualization of the child.

The fanaticization of adolescents and young adults raises the question of what, in the psychic processes at work at the heart of our Western societies, incites them to this. Adolescence is a key initiatory moment, the one where the individual learns autonomy, that is to say the capacity to internalize universal moral laws within himself to make them his own, in order to free himself from the grip of his impulses. It is important to clarify that these moral laws are not relati

Faced with psychological suffering such that it causes intense distress, the person will try to resolve this conflict of loyalty, and this resolution can occur in two ways: a conflict of loyalty with a neurotic type of resolution, and a regressive conflict of loyalty, with a psychotic type of resolution.

It will be a question here of deepening the consequences of paranoia on the protective parent of the child, the risks incurred by the latter and the children themself, in particular, in case of disagreement on the guarding of the child.

Paranoiac delusion is very difficult to detect, because of its apparent normality and its "reasoning" dimension, it is nonetheless very dangerous for children who are exposed to it. The prognosis of a cure of the paranoiac is almost none-existent, this pathology continuing to increase with time, the rigidity of the psychic structure and the rejection of any psychiatric follow-up by the person (who, according to his delirium, thinks himself invested with a mission, thinks that

It is about making familiar the phenomenon which is perceived as strange, therefore suspicious. Not only is "natural evidence" no more, but worse. What was obvious becomes the object of very clear suspicions; the obvious becomes persecutory. The report of experience is biased by intuition itself, by an excess of intuition. The paranoiac intuits, behind the slightest sign, or the slightest absence of sign, persecution. His conscience is "superintuitive", it intuits, everywher

Paranoia is "a place of quiet horror" that is one that nobody wants to listen to. Only a few professionals are brave enough to call it by its name: paranoia.

It took me a while to write this short piece; its complexity led me back to the subtle, sophisticated, paranoiac distortion of language and to the biblical episode of "The Tower of Babel": believing they speak the same language, humans no longer understand each other, and divide. And the more I delve into my reflections, the more I realize that it is primarily language that paranoiac psychosis destroys in order to dissociate humans and lead them to kill each other.

Paranoia infiltrates religions to create mystical illusions that will serve its own materialistic and imperialistic interests.

Today, there is a trend, a divide, an ideology: that of "conspiracy theorists" and "anti-conspiracy theorists". Conspiracy theorists are "those who see conspiracies everywhere", and anti-conspiracy theorists are those who denounce conspiracy theorists. This is yet another way to shut down all debate and, above all, to prevent people from thinking about the obvious.

In these somewhat troubled times in France, I propose a philosophical reflection on the notion of Reason of State, before the next brief which will deal with "the psychiatrist and the politician" (can the psychiatrist, even if he wished to, abstract himself from the political field?).

Work psychopathology allows us to broaden the perspective of traditional psychopathology, by introducing a reflection on pathogenic work organizations and the psychological and somatic impacts on individuals, without however ruling out an analysis of the collusions between personal history and experience in the company.

we need to distinguish between two concepts: the influence you're talking about and manipulation. Obviously, in social life, in business, we try to get others to do things they wouldn't do spontaneously. To do this, we use influence, we try to convince, we share our vision, we engage in dialogue. The fundamental difference between the two is respect for the other. The manipulator acts as if the other doesn't exist, while the influencer gives the other free will.

"The taboo of harassment in the workplace is gradually beginning to be lifted among the general public. We talk about it, we suffer from it, but without always knowing what it is. When can we really talk about harassment? Does it necessarily include a hierarchical relationship? To what extent is the company responsible?

First, we need to improve the training of people who are faced with cases of complaints of moral harassment, such as human resources. Because France is lagging behind. These cases are handled much too late, with an unfortunate tendency to hush up the cases, which end up taking on sordid proportions, which could have been avoided.
