Abstract

The article aims at clarifying Irene Nemirovsky’s attitude to psychoanalysis, issue neglected by the critics. The topic is dealt with starting from the novel Le Maître des âme, where the author stages a doctor who learns some rudiments of psychoanalysis to develop his own essay. Then we study the connection between psychoanalysis and the representation of family relationships, a recurring subject in her novels. These aspects make it possible to establish the writer’s position in the debates aroused by the spread of psychoanalysis in France.

L’article se propose d’éclaircir le rapport d’Irène Némirovsky avec la psychanalyse, question négligée par la critique. Le thème est abordé à partir du roman Le Maître des âmes, où l’auteur met en scène un médecin qui s’approprie quelques rudiments de la psychanalyse pour élaborer son propre traitement. Nous étudions ensuite le rapport entre la psychanalyse et la représentation des relations familiales, motif récurrent dans ses romans. Ces aspects permettent, pour finir, d’établir la position de l’écrivain dans les débats suscités en France par la diffusion de la psychanalyse.
