Paul Cololian (1869–1956) : membre de la Société Médico-Psychologique (1902) et fondateur de l’Union des Médecins Arméniens de Paris (1920) et de la Croix-Rouge Arménienne de Paris (1922) (Partie II)

Abstract

In the early 1920s, many Armenian went into exile fleeing persecutions. In Paris, Cololian created the Union of Armenian Doctors in Paris (1920). Two years later, he founded the Armenian Red Cross of Paris (1922). Under the auspices of the latter and with the help of the French Armenian colony, he opened a dispensary for free consultations for Armenian refugees on Rue Jean Goujon in Paris (1923). Cololian published various articles or analyzes on studies based on morbid psychological constitutions from characters in literature, plays, movies or politics (Emma Bovary, Marie Lafarge, Hitler…). In the same way as the other psychopathic constitutions classified and cataloged by E. Dupré and his students, Cololian added the splenetic psychopathic constitution. Also, the horophobia felt in the psychopathic constitutions of character. Among the mythomania, he defined the political mythomania, the greedy mythomania and the betrothal mythomania. He tended to prove that nations and peoples had hereditary and inexorable psychic and psychopathological constitutions, just like individuals. Lover of music, literature and nature, Paul Cololian was both deeply French and part of those Armenian intellectuals musicians, painters or poets who were always thinking about the lost homeland: The Armenia.
