摘要:

SUMMARYThis paper explores some of the dynamics of hateful relationships between parts of the self as they are played out between patient and therapist. The patients described are dominated by a ruthless internal object bent upon eliminating the most vulnerable parts of the self and the potentially helpful external object. In its most extreme form this type of hatred becomes psychotic when it destroys the means of perception. Also considered is the hatred experienced by the therapist, and a distinction made between ‘objective’ hatred and that resulting from the projection into the therapist of a hating internal obj

摘要:

ABSTRACTWinnicott's false self concept provides the starting point for an intrapersonal model of the impact and long‐term effect of abuse. Abuse creates a false self personality system which carries a circumscribed set of behaviours and attitudes directed both at self and others. It is the opposite of the reciprocally enhancing relationship he named holdin

摘要:

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARYThe process of family therapy unleashes forces which are powerful, primitive and potentially theatrical. Family systems therapy has evolved with little acknowledgement, and even disparagement, of the influence of psychoanalysis. In doing so, it has had a revolutionary impact but also one which has diminished the role of experience, particularly in the therapist. There are signs of convergence between modern psychoanalysis and systems therapy, and both have refined techniques that foster the primary task of therapy, which is observation through participation. In order to achieve this, family therapists require their own special skills to protect them from being stage struck by the family/audience (who also provide the script). Thepositive connotation isjust one of these techniques, and I try to unravel its workings from my own experience. Positive connotation is effective when it provokes a transformation in the therapist, which precedes any change in the family. It is a promising technique but it can lead one astray.

摘要:

SUMMARYThe premise of this paper is that, in the treatment of anorexia, art psychotherapy has a specific contribution to make. In the case of severe eating disorders the client's relationship to food may be understood to be a means of negotiating and mediating between the internal world and the external environment. It is proposed that pictures may also mediate between the inner and outer world of the client and so between the client and the therapist. As an object of transference itself the art object may temporarily, and unconsciously, become a substitute for the use of food. It may serve a positive function as a Transactional Object. This is distinguished from the ‘Transitional Object’ (Winnicott 1971) and the ‘Transformational Object’ (Bollas 1987). The view accords with those who consider that anorexia is a borderline disturbance. Thus the anorexic client is considered to be functioning at a pre‐symbolic level; she is concretising her experience and acting out through the use of food. If this need for concrete expression can be converted from an obsession with food to a use of art materials there is a beginning of a movement towards symb

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe work of John Bowlby, although influential in developmental psychology and social psychiatry, has had relatively little impact within his parent discipline of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The paper traces Bowlby's relationship with the British Psychoanalytic Society, contrasting his ideas with those of Klein. Drawing on recent findings in developmental psychology stimulated by Attachment Theory, it outlines the clinical relevance of the concepts of the secure base and narrative, and reviews notions of defence and the Oedipal situation from the attachment perspective. Attachment Theory is not a new ‘school’ of psychotherapy but addresses principles which underlie all effective therapies. An extended case study is described illustrating these poi

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn the case of severe pathologies, the function of the container in the psychotherapeutic setting becomes particularly important, but this function is made extremely difficult by the turbulence of the situation. In these cases, the container must provide three goals: a function of real limits, a means for the distribution and articulation of the projective identifications of the patient, a holdingelaboration of very intense emotional charges. In these particular cases, the function of the container becomes so complex as to necessitate an entire institution rather than a single therapist. The single therapist is not able to carry out his empathetic‐interpretative function unless he is integrated into a larger group‐institution.In order to describe and interpret the modalities of the functioning of the container‐institution, it is useful to adopt the model of the field which can be considered a refinement and evolution of the model of the container.An outline of the principal factors that constitute the institutional field is detailed as follows:1. The field is derived from the array of shared projective identifications in a cammon pool and not only from an individual into another.2. The field is a shared sensory area as defined by Bleger.3. The field contains an array of suffuse, powerful emotions which charge the atmosphere of the institution.4. The field is derived from certain originating‐foundation fantasies.5. The field is a derivation of the historical memory of each specific institutional group.The use of these axes of interpretation can allow a more detailed analysis of the functioning of the institution in contact with severe path

摘要:

ABSTRACTPsychoanalysis exists! It exists despite splitting attacks made on it by the analysand, and by the analyst's own internal objects, which threaten to destroy it. But it is the silent abundant goodness of the analytic setting, its freedom, its openness, its ‘without memory or desire’, that enable us to experience primary hate in face of terror. But no onepossessesthis goodness. Unless the analyst has some acknowledged or unacknowledged faith in this goodness, which is never his own, he will not be able to bear envy and will resort to cynicism or manipulat

摘要:

SUMMARYThree modes of science are defined for psychoanalysis ‐ domain, statisticalprobabilistic and formal. The last form is on a par with physics and seeks deep laws of nature through the use of quantified time series data to which mathematical models are applied. The paper summarises a research programme designed to bring formal science to the field. The models used are drawn from physics and include the power spectral density function (a measure of cyclical power), force and work, entropy or informational complexity (determined in two distinctive ways), and temperature (a measure of communicative activity). The evidence for a communicative force field is presented. The results are used to define three apparently universal laws of nature pertaining to human communication, each adhered to in distinctive fashion (individuality constrained by lawfulness). The limitations and implications of these initial results are discusse
