(2002). La fin du divan? [The end of the couch?] Paris: Editions Odile Jacob. Pp. 258.
The author shows how, in the present socio-cultural context, and given the frequency of narcissistic pathologies, the psychoanalytic face-to-face situation has become, in its own right, another way of doing analysis in which the role of countertransference as an internal setting proves to be a decisive factor in accommodating and transforming the patient's productions.
(2003). Féminin mélancholique [Melancholic femininity]. Paris: Presses Universitaires de France. Pp. 184.
This little book, with a provocative title, brings together several articles in which Chabert turns her attention to the ‘hollow dimension’ of the feminine which shelters the child, the infantile and passivity, constituting the point of chrystallisation of bisexuality and identifications in both sexes on the condition that one frees oneself from the fetters of melancholy.
(2002). Des enfants sans langage [Children without language]. Paris: Editions Odile Jacob. Pp. 284.
The author asks the question: how it is that, while most children can speak at the age of 2 or 3, there are some who are unable to speak? Why speak and what do we want from speaking to each other? To these questions he brings the theoretical and clinical responses of a psychoanalyst who is also a teacher of linguistics.
(2003). Freud: Fragments d'une histoire [Freud: Fragments of a history]. Paris: Presses Universitaires de France. Pp. 379.
The man Freud still remains to be understood. The author explores and draws on paths other than those taken by monumental biographies in search of less well-known aspects of Freud's life such as the way he is represented in the cinema, his analytic practice or his taste for research—the taste for an ever-elusive truth.
