Clinic of Disability: Psychoanalytical Approaches

The publication of The Clinic of Disability: Psychoanalytical Approaches affords English speaking readers access to what we refer to as “French disability studies”, which are relatively unknown outside France. Our aim is to promote French psychoanalytical thinking in English speaking countries and pave the way for dialogue with our counterparts internationally.

Simone Korff Sausse is a psychologist and psychoanalyst, a member of the Société Psychanalytique de Paris, and emeritus lecturer at the Psychoanalytical Studies Faculty at the University Denis Diderot, Paris. She has conducted studies into the psychoanalytical approach in care for disabled children and their families, and into the creative process in artists. She is a founding member of Séminaire Universitaire International sur la Clinique du Handicap.

Régine Scelles is Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology at the Paris West University Nanterre La Défense. She works in a department providing early help to disabled children and has considerable experience working in disabled people’s own domestic environments. She has published works on the family and multiple disabilities and is a founding member of Séminaire Universitaire International sur la Clinique du Handicap.

These clinicians share a common belief that psychoanalysis can be applied to disability and that children and adults with disabilities can benefit from psychoanalytic treatment.
