Elisabeth Roudinesco reports that Lacan never stopped trying to make his thesis disappear, even going so far as to steal it from his analysands' homes when it was in their libraries. From psychiatry to psychoanalysis: a founding essay. Doctoral thesis defended at the Faculty of Medicine of Paris on September 7, 1932 by Jacques Lacan (1901-1981), famous French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. The author studies the systematic delusion of persecution through the case of Aimée, alias Marguerite Anzieu (1892-1981), interned at the Sainte-Anne Hospital for having attempted to murder an actress in April 1931. She was entrusted to Jacques Lacan "who made of her a case of erotomania and paranoia of self-punishment. Between the psychiatrist and Marguerite, there was never the slightest agreement. She did not seek treatment or care, and he did not try to convince her to look at herself as a patient. For he was only interested in this woman to illustrate his doctrine of paranoia" (Élisabeth Roudinesco, Lacan, envers et contre tout, 2011).
