Alain de Mijolla (born 15 May 1933, Paris) is a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. Mijolla was analyzed by Conrad Stein and Denise Braunschweig; became a psychoanalyst in the Societe psychanalytique de Paris in 1968; and was by 2001 a training analyst there.[1]

He also created and chaired the International Association of History of the Psychoanalysis (AIHP),[2] and received the Mary S. Sigourney Award in 2004.[3]

Writings

De Mijolla has written numerous articles and works, and has also edited psychoanalytical collections at several publishers, including the three volumes of the International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis.[4]

In a 1987 paper on identification in the family, he highlighted how Sigmund Freud's creativity can be linked with his identification with the prestige of his grandfather.[5]

His article "Freud and the Psychoanalytic Situation on the Screen" stressed the difficulties of representing the psychoanalytic setting in cinematic terms.[6]
