Henri Ey fut, entre les années 1950 et 1970, une des figures les plus marquantes de la psychiatrie française. Au cours de sa vie il reçut de nombreux hommages et plusieurs distinctions. Ce travail traite de la commémoration d’un homme dont la réputation avait donc déjà été largement construite avant sa disparition. Après une période de relatif silence, la politique de commémoration d’Henri Ey s’est affirmée en particulier à l’occasion du vingtième anniversaire de sa mort. Deux explications sont proposées : d’une part célébrer Henri Ey est une manière de célébrer la voie singulière de la psychiatrie française. D’autre part, en rappelant l’héritage moral et intellectuel d’Henri Ey, cela permet de souligner l’importance d’une éthique du rapport à la maladie mentale et la nécessité d’une connaissance de l’homme qui aille au-delà de sa dimension organique et cérébrale. Enfin commémorer cet homme de dimension internationale n’est pas dénué d’une certaine nostalgie face à une psychiatrie française qui n’a plus la centralité d’hier. This article is on Henri Ey, who was one of the most noteworthy figures of French psychiatry between 1950 and 1970. He received many tributes and distinctions during his lifetime, such that his reputation was already well established before his death. A period of relative silence then set in, and it was not until the 20th anniversary of his death that the politics of commemorating Ey’s work began to emerge. We put forward two explanations for this. First, commemorating Henri Ey is a way of celebrating the singular path taken by French psychiatry. Second, the moral and intellectual heritage of Henry Ey stresses the importance of the ethics of the relation to mental illness and the need to have a knowledge of human beings which goes beyond their organic and cerebral nature. And lastly, commemoration of this man of international stature generates a certain nostalgia, in the light of the lost centrality of French psychiatry.
