AboutAbout the lab
Studying psychopathology and psychoanalysis
The Psychopathology and Psychoanalysis Lab studies psychopathology, psychoanalysis (especially the French Lacanian school), pathography, the history of psychiatry, and contemporary French thought.
Students in the Faculty of Integrated Human Studies can write their graduation thesis in this lab.
During the semester, the lab holds a lab seminar every week, and volunteers also run reading groups for German and French texts.
The lab is open to people building their experience in clinical settings, such as physicians and psychologists, and it also offers study sessions for clinicians.

ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies psychopathology, psychoanalysis (especially the French Lacanian school), pathography, the history of psychiatry, and contemporary French thought. Associate Professor Nicolas Tajan has published the book Génération Hikikomori and a paper on the structure of the Japanese language and psychoanalysis.
History of psychoanalytic concepts and pathography
Graduation theses mainly examine the concepts and history of Freud and Lacan (or of psychopathology), pathographic studies of artists and eminent figures, and other topics related to mental health.
History of psychiatry in Japan and France
The history of psychiatry is also one of the lab's research areas. The lab has published a paper describing how Japan's second generation of psychopathologists, such as Takeo Doi, Bin Kimura, and Hisao Nakai, were involved in the psychiatric reform movement, and a paper comparing "primary mental confusion" in late-19th-century French psychiatry with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
