Reviews and Endorsements

‘In the small book The Republic of False Selves, Pierre Delion masterfully analyzed the historical conditions behind today’s deleterious public health situation before it took hold. Freedom of movement, of speech, of thought – in institutions, the minds of citizens, and in society as a whole – requires a democratic system. That these freedoms could be at risk is a shock to some. The concept that a human and – psychoanalytically thought – transferential psychiatric, teaching, and care system define the contours of democracy is the subject of Delion’s ongoing struggle and life’s work.’
Mileen Janssens, psychoanalyst in private practice, Ghent, Belgium
