What remains of a myth when the spotlights fade and the silence of the therapist's office sets in? In this singular work, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Guy Maruani opens the doors of his office to those who have burned their lives on the altar of rock. From Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix, the icons of the "27 Club" take turns lying on the couch for a final session. A former rocker, Guy Maruani combines here his intimate knowledge of the rock scene with clinical rigor drawn from his long career as a psychiatrist. He does not just tell lives; he investigates psyches. The structure of this book is as unsettling as it is elegant: while these encounters seem to spring from imagination, every confidence, every fact, every personality trait reported is scrupulously authentic. Drawing on extensive research, Guy Maruani restores exchanges so dense and so faithful to the biographical reality of the artists that the boundary between narrative fiction and unpublished archive fades away. "Rock Psychanalyse" is not just another biography, but a dive into the clinical intimacy of creation and suffering. Through the fictional clinical cases of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Amy Winehouse, and Johnny Hallyday, the author explores the psychology of idols, the weight of celebrity, the mechanisms of self-destruction, and the relentless quest for meaning behind the excess. A fascinating dialogue where the clinician's expertise gives a new voice to vanished legends, leaving a haunting suspense lingering: where does history end, and where does the session begin? This essay will delight rock music fans, readers of musician biographies, as well as those curious about applied psychology and psychoanalysis. A work that sheds light, with clinical accuracy, on the shadows of these giants of popular culture, analyzing the inseparable link between creative genius and narcissistic wounds.Guy Maruani is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Formerly a lecturer in medical psychology at the Bichat Faculty (Paris) and a supervisor at the European center Psy Pluriel (Brussels), he has dedicated his career to the study of the psyche and human interactions. A former singer in the rock band Classical M, he signs here a work where his musical culture and clinical expertise meet to illuminate the shadows of rock geniuses.
