Kaës's book is a plea for the recognition of the sibling complex. What makes such recognition possible? It is the perspective from which he approaches it: a group perspective. The group perspective is a methodological paradigm that makes possible the analysis of intersubjective groups and the emergence of specific unconscious psychic formations and processes that would otherwise be inaccessible. This perspective remains strictly Freudian. Indeed, René Kaës has shown, on the basis of three of Freud's seminal texts, how the opposition between individual and group is transcended in Freud. In Totem and Taboo, Freud puts forward the hypothesis of a group psyche. In On Narcissism: An Introduction, he shows that the subject is not only divided internally, but “carr[ies] on a double existence: one designed to serve his own purposes and another as a link in a ‘chain’ in which he serves” (Kaës, 2007, p. 211). The narcissism of the infans, he also notes, is based on that of the preceding generation, which transmits to him or her the dreams of unrealized desires of the parents. “Freud is speaking not only of the individual in his or her corporeal and biological roots, but of the subject insofar as he or she is subjected to an intersubjective order that constitutes him or her: that of the unconscious desires of those who came before,” Kaës comments in Un singulier pluriel (2007, p. 11; translation). Finally, in the introduction to Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, Freud states, “In the individual's mental life someone else is invariably involved, as a model, as an object, as a helper, as an opponent; and so from the very first individual psychology, in this extended but entirely justifiable sense of the words, is at the same time social psychology
