title: [Psychological approach to Céline's obscenity].
abstract: The aim of the psycho-analytical approach the author attempts is the obscene character of Céline's dependent of the writer's whole personality. The obscenity of the celinian language proceeds from several causes. It can be explained by the lucid and the phallic-narcistical features of Céline's personality in relation with psycho-sociological factors. Obscenity is lecherous and sullen in regard to women and virulent towards men: it may then be interpreted as a mean of struggle against the anxiety of death. It is also used to translate the celinian contempt of the human being.
