Le surmoi: il faut, je dois ((Les mots de la psychanalyse).)
Par Saverio Tomasella. 2009
Organe critique, siège du jugement, tribunal intime de tous nos procès, il est nommé surmoi par la psychanalyse. Trop sévère…
chez certains, laxiste chez d'autres, il nous empêche souvent de vivre. D'où vient-il ? Comment se forme-t-il ? Comment agit-il ? Ce petit guide vous invite à découvrir, sur les traces de Freud, Ferenczi et Melanie Klein, ce concept crucial de la psychanalyse.

Par J. P Boutinet. 1995
C'est (vraiment ?) moi qui décide
Par Dan Ariely, Christophe Rosson. 2008
"Pourquoi la période des soldes nous pousse-t-elle à acheter des choses dont nous n'avons aucun besoin ? Pourquoi sommes-nous persuadés…
qu'une aspirine à 50 centimes nous guérit plus sûrement qu'un cachet à 5 centimes ? Pourquoi cessons-nous à midi le régime que nous avons décidé le matin ? Pourquoi, en d'autres termes, des gens intelligents comme vous et moi prennent régulièrement des décisions absurdes ? Parce que, nous répond Dan Ariely, spécialiste d'économie comportementale, nous ne sommes pas aussi rationnels que nous voudrions, et cette irrationalité se traduit par une multitude de "mauvais" choix qui touchent tant à notre quotidien qu'à des décisions plus engageantes, telles le fait d'acquérir une maison, de changer de travail ou de nous lancer dans une relation amoureuse. Conçu à partir d'expériences aussi variées qu'instructives, ce livre a pour but de nous aider à mieux déjouer les pièges de notre irrationalité [...]. Au terme de cet amusant périple nous attend une heureuse découverte : comme elle est quasi-systématique, notre irrationnalité est, en quelque sorte, prévisible ! Nous faisons et nous répétons sans cesse les mêmes erreurs de jugement. Il se pourrait bien alors que, si nous avons appris à les identifier, nous nous donnions des chances d'acquérir une meilleure capacité de décision..." -- 4e de couv. Titre uniforme: Predictably irrational, the hidden forces that shape our decisions.La méthode Coué: histoire d'une pratique de guérison au XXe siècle ((L'univers historique).)
Par Hervé Guillemain. 2010
Tous les jours, à tous points de vue, je vais de mieux en mieux. C'est ainsi qu'Émile Coué (1857-1926), pharmacien…
de son état, préconisait à chacun de s'adresser à lui-même pour commencer la journée [...]. Avant de faire son entrée dans le langage courant, victime de discrédit, la méthode Coué connut des heures de gloire entre la Première et la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La réputation internationale de Coué (véritable vedette aux États-Unis), l'attrait exercé par sa méthode auprès des anciens combattants, des milieux évangéliques et du public féminin, le regard plutôt bienveillant que porte sur elle la médecine : autant de réalités qui ne laissent pas a posteriori de surprendre, tout autant que l'accueil que lui réserve la psychanalyse naissante, ou les liens tissés avec des figures et des organisations du nationalisme conservateur français. En s'appuyant sur une confrontation de la méthode Coué avec l'histoire sociale, politique, religieuse et médicale, en la resituant dans un moment clé de l'histoire des psychothérapies, Hervé Guillemain analyse les ressorts d'un succès et les raisons d'un déclin. -- 4e de couv.Restless genius: the story of Virginia Woolf (World writers)
