son académie ? Un père divorcé peut-il encore manifester de la tendresse à son enfant sans se voir suspecté d'être un abuseur potentiel ? Tout indique que notre société, bouleversée par quelques affaires particulièrement atroces, est entrée dans l'ère du soupçon. En matière de protection de l'enfant, l'heure est à l'obsession de la maltraitance sexuelle et aux amalgames expéditifs. La réflexion a cédé le pas à l'émotion et aux fantasmes. Loin de nier la réalité de la violence sexuelle sur mineurs et forts d'une longue expérience clinique et judiciaire, un expert psychiatre et une avocate dénoncent ici ces multiples dérives. Fondée sur l'analyse de cas réels, La Dictature de l'émotion est un précieux outil de réflexion qui affronte courageusement les idées reçues et propose une vision nouvelle et percutante d'un sujet d'une brûlante actualité." -- 4e de couvLove in the lead: the miracle of the seeing eye dog
