Writings
De Mijolla has written numerous articles and works, and has also edited psychoanalytical collections at several publishers, including the three volumes of the International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis.[4]
In a 1987 paper on identification in the family, he highlighted how Sigmund Freud's creativity can be linked with his identification with the prestige of his grandfather.[5]
His article "Freud and the Psychoanalytic Situation on the Screen" stressed the difficulties of representing the psychoanalytic setting in cinematic terms.[6]
