Ajouter foi a la folie
Monique Durand-Wood - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
'Ajouter foi à la folie' is a magnificent attempt to give meaning to a pastoral practice alongside and with the mentally ill. It is in fact a theological and spiritual reflection which, in language that is simple and often poetic, tackles those basic questions that arise when life has become 'chaos'. Madness has its own places of treatment it is a language with its own surprises, impasses and meaning. The human beings we glimpse there have been rent asunder, for a considerable period of time. Yet they emerge here with force, even in their weakened state. Monique Durand-Wood knows how to guide us along those paths strewn with paradox. The contribution of social science is invaluable it provides references for a faith-oriented approach. But in this book, theory is always rooted in practice! The clinical vignettes are extremely evocative. The approach to madness, subtle and well documented, avoids the well-known pitfalls of a naive spiritualisation of psychic phenomena. 'Ajouter foi à la folie' - Add Faith to Madness - the title becomes clear. It is indeed a question of embracing, at the heart of the other's madness, a faith in search of itself. It is indeed a question of pastoral practice. It is also, and especially, a matter of believing that, at the very heart of the other's madness, radical and vertiginous 'questions about humanity' are being asked. [Jean-Daniel Hubert, Benedictine and psychoanalyst]
