The virus of totalitarianism
For Ariane Bilheran, clinical psychologist, author of Psychopathologie de la paranoïa (Psychopathology of Paranoia) and Psychopathologie de l'autorité (Psychopathology of Authority) (Dunod), our societies are sinking into totalitarianism.

Interview "the collapse of society: is a crash inevitable?"
"The first chimeric man-ape embryos have been created", announces Le Monde on April 15, 2021. Far from being concerned, the political-media system celebrates the monstrosities of transhumanism. Progress that advances and Novelty that innovates are now free. All moral barriers seem to fall almost systematically accused of referring to the "world of before" or to reaction. Is the collapse of society then the only way out to prevent "homo deus" from doing his worst?

"Our ability to think is being robbed", interview of Ariane Bilheran about totalitarianism
A specialist in the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, Ariane Bilheran helps us understand the idea of "comfort health" through an observation she makes about the crisis we are experiencing today: "so many people agree to give up their freedom under the cover of a lie, without having a knife to their throat, far from it. Quite simply because many of them aspire to the preservation of their comfort and their privileges, and because they have been chained to them little by little.

"Naming Evil" with Ariane Bilheran - about totalitarianism
Privileges to travel, to go to restaurants... so many privileges granted to "good citizens" that can be abolished at the Princes' whim, but of this, the "good citizen" is not yet aware... When the basis of the social contract is no longer the equality of citizens in law, but an inequality of rights in principle, based on who is obedient and who is not, there is no longer any civil liberty. The social contract is therefore null and void, and with the loss of civil liberty, cit

Chronicles of Totalitarianism 7 - Charity
Traditionally, and throughout humanity, there have been places where everyone could take refuge in a "neutral" zone of conflict, in protection, sheltered. With or without papers, with or without money, innocent or criminal, destitute, beggar, handicapped, old, whoever you are, whatever you have done, you could be welcomed and safe there.

Chronicles of Totalitarianism 4 - The Paranoiac Apogee
In the delusional hypochondria of paranoia, illness is everywhere, experienced as dangerous, mortal, the enemy of the living. The sick are opposed to the healthy, as the impure to the pure: the order is given to eliminate (and before that, to "evict" to use the words of Jean-Michel Blanquer, Minister of National Education in France, concerning unvaccinated children) the part of the social body designated as impure.

Chronicles of Totalitarianism 6 - The Witness by Destiny
No great crime, no human tragedy has remained without witnesses. It is as if destiny, or the collective unconscious, assigns this role to certain privileged individuals, and grants them providential protection to accomplish their mission. This is true as much for the "great History" as for the intimate dramas of families and communities.

The paranoiac moment (the totalitarian surge) in the face of the dialectic of master and slave
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.

Health totalitarianism: “It’s for your own good”... Radical evil
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?

The harassment audit
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.

Letter of Ariane Bilheran (PhD) to Pr. Judith Reisman, July, 18 2018
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.

Terrorism: Youth, Ideals and Paranoia
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

Relationship between a paranoiac parent and his children
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

Phenomenology of Paranoia. Time, Space, Other
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

Interview with Ariane Bilheran on harassment at work
"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?
