Serge Tisseron is a notable psychiatrist and doctor of psychology, renowned for his innovative contributions to understanding human behavior and empathy. An esteemed member of the Académie des technologies, Tisseron first made headlines with his pioneering thesis presented in comic form in 1975. His unique insights into communication have led to the creation of initiatives such as the “3-6-9-12” framework aimed at guiding children's engagement with screens, and the “Jeu des Trois Figures,” a theatrical project designed to foster empathy among students.

Tisseron's work extends beyond the classroom; he founded the Institut pour l’Histoire et la Mémoire des Catastrophes (IHMEC) and the Institut pour l’Etude des Relations Homme-Robots (IERHR), showcasing his commitment to both historical memory and the evolving relationship between humans and technology. His extensive body of work also includes directing a short film, "Tisseron en quête de Serge," and maintaining a comprehensive archive at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. This multifaceted approach illustrates Tisseron’s dedication to advancing empathy and understanding in various facets of society.
