Alain de Mijolla

Alain de Mijolla (15 May 1933 – 24 January 2019) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist, born in Paris. Mijolla was analyzed by Conrad Stein and Denise Braunschweig. He became a psychoanalyst in the Societe psychanalytique de Paris in 1968, and was by 2001 a training analyst there.[1]

He also created and chaired the International Association of History of the Psychoanalysis (AIHP),[2] and received the Mary S. Sigourney Award in 2004.[3]

He died in 2019 in Paris, aged 85.[4]

Writings

De Mijolla wrote numerous articles and works. In a 1987 paper on identification in the family, he highlighted how Sigmund Freud's creativity can be linked with his identification with the prestige of his grandfather.[5]

His 1999 article "Freud and the Psychoanalytic Situation on the Screen" stressed the difficulties of representing the psychoanalytic setting in cinematic terms.[6]

He also edited psychoanalytical collections at several publishers, including the three volumes of the International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis (2005).[7]
