Philippe Bouret is a psychoanalyst in Brive-la-Gaillarde and the author of some twenty books (essays and poetry). He is a member of the SGDL (Société des Gens De Lettres – Society of Men of Letters). He is particularly interested in the links between psychoanalysis and art. His work in the Freudian field has led him to study courtly poetry in pre-Islamic and Arab-Andalusian cultures in light of the teachings of Jacques Lacan, the work of Sigmund Freud, and the teachings of Jacques-Alain Miller. He has studied Arabic language and calligraphy. For many years, based on his experience of encounters with artists, he has been articulating what he calls "psychoanalysis in expansion," and thus defines what the position of the psychoanalyst in 21st-century society means to him: "Artists take existence seriously." They explore the unease, the enigma, and sometimes the joy of the creative process, allowing themselves to be surprised by the words, colors, and sounds that impose themselves upon them, and making use of misunderstanding as a hallmark of the speaking being. “For the psychoanalyst who approaches the artist, the one-on-one encounter awakens and expands desire. It guides engagement and sometimes reveals hidden gems. We call this knowledge. The survival of the use of living, embodied language depends on it; freedom depends on it.” Philippe Bouret has written numerous prefaces; he also draws and sculpts. He published a series of his "Encres" (Ephemerides, Ephemmeros, Women-Edge and Women-Fold) in Romania, accompanied by bilingual texts by Muriel Augry (Poet, writer and Director of the French Institute in Iasi) under the title "Encres lacérées – Cerneruli lacerate." He has also published several poetry collections and contributed to national and international anthologies. A member of the École de la Cause freudienne (School of the Freudian Cause) and the World Association of Psychoanalysis, he was the ECF's delegate to the ACF cartels in the Massif Central region and a member of the ECF Cartels Commission from 2013 to 2015. Having been involved for many years in the work of the Franco-Algerian Group of the Freudian Field, he was co-creator and co-editor-in-chief of the journal "La Fibule" (Franco-Algerian Group of the Freudian Field). He was appointed a Member of the French PEN Club in 2017 on the recommendation of Sylvestre Clancier, Honorary President and President of the Mallarmé Academy. In 2018, he joined the PEN Club's board of directors as Vice-President of the Writers for Peace Committee and co-head of social media with President Emmanuel Pierrat.
