| description | This article highlights the institutional, professional and clinical dynamics surrounding the implementation, in the mid-1970s, of an American-style sex therapy in the capital of the canton of Vaud, in French-speaking Switzerland. We suggest that we analyze these dynamics from the perspective of a critical history of Americanism as an “engine of discovery” of modern sexology. We situate the birth of a clinic for sexual disorders within the wider history of sexology and psychotherapy in order to discuss the invention of an American sexology made in Switzerland. We also demonstrate what the so-called new American methods in Lausanne, and more generally out of America, owed to this Americanism: the stamp of scientificity and modernity, but also their very Americanness. |
