She developed the symbolic realization method for treating psychotic patients, with an approach rooted in psychoanalytic and existential theory.
Born Marguerite Burdet on September 27, 1887 in Switzerland, she was raised in a Protestant family. She studied at the University of Geneva, where she attended lectures by Ferdinand de Saussure on linguistics. Between 1906 and 1911, her notes from these lectures assisted Charles Bally and her husband, Albert Sechehaye, to develop Course in General Linguistics, published in 1916, three years after Saussure’s death. The book is generally regarded as the starting point of structural linguistics, an approach to linguistics that flourished in Europe and the United States in the first half of the 20th century.
After graduating, Sechehaye studied at the Rousseau Institute, where she worked as the assistant of Édouard Claparède, and later went on to establish her own practice based on the encouragement of Raymond de Saussure.
Sechehaye’s other published works are Symbolic Realization; A New Method of Psychotherapy Applied to a Case of Schizophrenia (1951) and A New Psychotherapy in Schizophrenia; Relief of Frustrations by Symbolic Realization (1956).
She died in Geneva on June 1, 1964, aged 76.
