Letter 31 Hallucination as a defence and Claude Lanzmann’s triple knowledge

Dear friend, I am glad that you bring up the question of madness as a means to escape hell,

as we have seen in Françoise Davoine and Jean-Max Gaudillière’s work. You probably remember that in 1988 I edited Le Psychanalyste sous la terreur

(The Psychoanalyst under Terror) (published by Matrice-Rocinante), a book in which Latin-American analysts describe their experiences under terrorist regimes.
