conflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe la chope.this evening，as on every thursday night，psychologist maud lehanne is leading two of france's favorite pastimes，coffee drinking and the “talking cure”．here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings.it isn't always easy.the customers—some thirty parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session—are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect.“you are forbidden to say ‘one feels，’ or ‘people think’，”lehanne told them.“say ‘i think，’ ‘think me’．”
a cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? it couldn't seem more un-french.but lehanne's psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: it's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes.over the years，parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the french lifestyle—longer working hours，a fast-food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home.dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.cafes focused around psychology，history，and engineering are catching on，filling tables well into the evening.
the city's “psychology cafes”，which offer great comfort，are among the most popular places.middle-aged homemakers，retirees，and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love，anger，and dreams with a psychologist.and they come to lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel.“there's a strong need in paris for communication，”says maurice frisch，a cafe la chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church.“people have few real friends.and they need to open up.”lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over france.“if people had normal lives，these cafes wouldn't exist，”she says.“if life weren't a battle，people wouldn't need a special place just to speak.”but then，it wouldn't be france.
