We are constantly told about the anxiety that the pandemic arouses, in particular in our children, and, if I believe Freud, the appearance of anxiety would be the unmistakable sign of a pathology.

"disintegration of the personality"
, in other words by the fragmentation of the different components ("it, me and superego") of our psychic life.
The goal of the analysis would be to return as much as possible to the subject who suffers the control of the conflicts which tear him apart in order to find the solutions allowing him to restore him in a state of
"enjoying and acting"
, to use the famous word with which Freud tried to define a semblance of normality.
