Henri Ey

Henry Ey (Banyüls Dels Aspres August 10th 1900 - Banyüls Dels Aspres November 8th 1977) is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst French, known to have sought to bring closer Psychiatrie and Psychanalyse.

Very fertile in its writings, in particular a treaty of psychiatry (Masson ED. 1980) and by its teaching of clinical cases to the Library of the Parisian hospital Holy-Anne, whereas it directs a CHS to Bonneval, in Eure-et-Loir.

Its design of psychiatry revolves around the organodynamism .

Ideology

Henri Ey endeavoured to underline at the same time the organic bases (Hérédité, Physiopathologie, Neuromédiateur S cerebral, etc) and the dynamic prospect, psychoanalytical with the listening of the Parole of the Sujet. Its approach is entitled the organodynamism .

The organodynamism tries a synthesis between the psychiatric symptoms and the neurophysiological data. It is based on the idea that the failure of a function can generate the excessive development of another until the jump in the pathological one.

Its historical and theoretical sources are to be sought in the current jacksonien and néo-jacksonien.

The history of the jacksonism in psychiatry is initially that of an exchange between the neurological clinical fact and the evolutionism.

In the Thirties appear certain works of John Hughlings Jackson: the model of Jackson is also applicable to psychiatry, for example one used it in the description of schizophrenia (distinction of the primary education symptoms and the secondary symptoms).

It defended (as from 1936 and enriched until its death) a médico-philosophical theory, Organodynamisme (OD) which is - but one “neo-jacksonnism is not only that”, because taking again with J.H. Jackson the opposition negative and positive phenomena, expressed by the phenomenon of dissolution (*) implying a body inscription of the deficit, a tendency to the maintenance or the restoration of meaning units (reference to Ganzeithéorie de Goldstein), hierarchy of the levels and an evolutionary normalcy of the organization (reference to Spencer and france Jacob); finally, an ontology laminated of the levels To be it (reference to Nicolaï Hartmann). All that is held according to a “dialectical” play bearing on oppositions inside dipoles which are the “7 concept-keys” crowning the Traité Hallucinations (1973): paradoxical couples which “can be defined each one only by its opposite, i.e. being excluded reciprocally, they bind” (paradigm of distinction-conjunction of Edgar Morin). It is:

  1. - the Subject and the

  2. Object - Ego and others
  3. - Cs and Ics
  4. - Symbolic system (enraciné in the body) and the abstract thought
  5. - Reality and Imaginary the
  6. - the Expression (of the desire) and Creation (of work)
  7. - Will and the Automatism.

The negative slope opens on a warning statement: it is neither careful, nor reasonable of inférer directly, the organic disorder to its matérialisation in and by the symptom (mecanicism). There is always a “variation organo-private clinic”. That implies that there is a process of reorganization in the process of disorganization and that there is always a psychic event in the psychopathological fact. For as much, if symptomatology is, in its demonstration, relatively independent of the negative disorder, it of it is always pathogéniquement dependant. The positive slope accommodates all the productions of artistic creation, the poetic inspiration, the “Madness” (the “lyric core” of humanity) and thus makes an important place with the psychoanalysis. Psychoanalyze whose Ey fights the imperialism (1970), but of which it uses the concepts; concerned not to reverse Freud but to supplement it. So much so that one could summarize his project - which, there either, could not be reduced to that with that of “the unification of psychiatry and the psychoanalysis” (R. Sarro, 1978).

Critical

There is in the organodynamism the idea that the opposition of Psyché and of Summoned, of psychogenesis (causality psychic) and of organogenesis is not heuristic. The human being, the “body psychic” is not duel, but bipolar. The body is prolonged historically by the spirit or, to speak like Aristote and Thomas d' Aquin, “the Spirit is the shape of the body”. Always refutable theory according to the principles Poppériens, synthesis ambitious but open (hospitality of this theory like that, legendary, of the man), especially tallies of quite useful work and even increasingly essential in the current epistemic distress, the parcelling out of the theories and the practices in psychiatric medicine (RM. Palem).

Ey and Japan

Doctor Henri Ey was always moved by the interest that the psychiatrists Japan board carried to its work (as it appears in his correspondence with Professor Hiroshi Ohashi de Kyoto and Osaka, in 1969, in connection with the translation of the Conscience ). But this interest had appeared since 1939, in well disturbed times (letter of O.Miyagi, of Tokyo, preserved at the Files), in connection with its design organo-dynamics.

More recently, in January 1995, on Internet, Doctor Fuyuhiko Furukawa (of Women' S Medical College of Tokyo), at the time of an exchange with North-American psychiatrists who had never heard of H.Ey, declared that “Henri Ey is one of the most known psychopathologists in Japan”. This North-American psychiatrist is since absent person of his “gaps” by learning that H. Ey had been translated into English, in 1978 with the Presses from Indiana ( Consciousness ) and was honorary doctor of the Université of Montreal.
