Georges-Alphonse Dumas, (March 6 1866 - February 12 1946), was a French physician and psychologist, a student of Ribot. Georges Bataille was very fond of his 1928 text La douleur et le plaisir. He is best known for Le Traité de psychologie (1923-1924) and Le Nouveau Traité de psychologie (1930-1949). In 1904, he co-founded the Journale de Psychologie Normale et Pathologique with fellow Sorbonne professor Pierre Janet.
His classes at Ste Anne were highly popular and those attending included Georges Poyer, André Ombredane, Jean Delay, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Jacques Lacan, Daniel Lagache, Paul Nizan, Raymond Aron, Jean-Paul Sartre and Georges Canguilhem.
