Édouard Pichon (24 June 1890 – 20 January 1940) was a French pediatrician, grammarian and psychoanalyst. He was born in Sarcelles and died in Paris.
A distinguished and innovative grammarian, [1] Pichon was analysed by Eugénie Sokolnicka, and became a founding member of the Paris Psychoanalytic Society in 1926. [2] A member of the royalist and reactionary Action Française, Pichon represented the jingoistic strand of French psychoanalysis, [3] with his belief in "the genuine culture and the true civilization of our country...this fundamental Frenchness". [4]
Through his mixture of linguistic and psychoanalytic thinking, Pichon was a powerful influence on Jacques Lacan (as well as a practical mentor). [5] In Écrits, Lacan paid tribute to "a divination that I can attribute only to his practise of semantics...that guided him in people's dark places". [6]
Among the psychoanalytic concepts introduced by what Élisabeth Roudinesco called Pichon's "fatalist genius", [7] were those of oblatory, scotomization, and foreclosure.
