ABSTRACT
Psychoanalytic practice is based on the bringing to awareness of the constant work of a Death force: the one that consists in killing the wonderful child who, from generation to generation, brings testimony to his parents' dreams and desires; there is life only at the price of murdering the strange, primary image into which the birth of each person is inscribed. Each person can act because he is, without his knowing, the victim of an illusion. Whether he is prisoner, or even victim of this illusion, or whether he is complaisant towards it, this illusion orientates his judgement and his discernment while sometimes bringing to him energy for action. A myth is a discourse organized in the same fashion as a fictional account. In other words, it can give reality an increase in meaning and new opportunities for interpreting it.
