French university professor, psychologist & psychoanalyst
Juliet Favez-Boutonnier (1903 – 13 April 1994)[1] was a French academic, psychologist and psychoanalyst.
Career
After writing successive theses on ambivalence and angst,[2] Favez-Boutonnier became a member of the SFP in the tradition of Pierre Janet, working to have psychoanalysis accepted in academia as a form of psychology.[3]
Having backed Margaret Clark-Williams in her dispute with the medical profession over lay analysis, in 1953 she joined Daniel Lagache in splitting from the SFP in protest over what they saw as over-medicalised training procedures.[4] In 1964 she would return with him to the shelter of the IPA in the newly formed Association psychoanalytique de France.[5]
In the wake of the May 1968 events in France, her efforts to establish a clinical social sciences section within academia were finally crowned with success.[6]
