| Pierre Janet, head of Charcot’s psychological laboratory, developed and refined his medical psychology through the interplay of observation and hypothesis. This process can be traced through a sequence of descriptions and case histories concerning the religious ecstatic ‘Madeleine’ from 1897 to 1926. In subsequent theoretical writings (1932–1936) he described this process as the act of portraiture. Given the background of contemporary tensions between church and state, Janet notably refused to frame Madeleine’s visions either as revelations or pathological hallucinations. Instead he seized on his working relationship with her – he treated her from 1896 to 1904 – to develop a psychology of belief and feelings. In his paradigmatic and innovative case history ( “De l’angoisse à l’extase”. Vol. I, 1926), Janet not only presented his medical and psychiatric findings, but also Madeleine’s extensive self-observations, her paintings which also reflect her image of him, his conversations with her and his own disposition towards her. What emerges through Janet’s method is a case history that – like any good portrayal – is cut from a rich fabric fashioned from interwoven strands of history and individual relational narratives | |
