SUMMARY.Finding that a significant number of children were unable to touch or play with the standard doll families and animals available, the therapist brought into the therapy room large and ordinary sized dolls and teddy bears (black, white, baby, teenaged). To her surprise these were quickly used to reveal and explore incidents of sexual and physical abuse. This led her to the conclusion that children who have experienced concrete attacks need different material to help them regain their capacity to symbolise. In this paper she focusses on the meaning of the new toys for two children in particular. She now includes a range of different‐sized dolls as standard equipment for all children and adolescents and comments on their applicabilit

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Bion's work on the genesis, agenesis and dysgenesis of thought, and its subsequent development, allows us to delineate two fundamental mechanisms which are used to avoid the painful anxieties associated with the birth of a thought. These anxieties, which are perhaps best covered by the term catastrophic anxiety, may be avoided by evacuation of the elements that thought is born from, or by the conversion of these elements into pseudo‐elements or lies. The clinical concept of alexithymia, which evolved from work with psychosomatic patients, illustrates how these mechanisms may be manifested clinically by disordered thought and psychosomatic illnes

摘要:

SUMMARY.This is a clinical paper in that it deals with a series of patients seen for psychotherapy by a group of trainees who were supervised together. Several common characteristics emerged and four of the most typical patients are described in detail. They were all difficult to work with, had seen or were seeing many other therapists and could not use insight interpretations. They had all suffered rejection, real or imagined, from previous therapists but persisted in their search for the ideal therapeutic partner who would omnipotently remove their symptoms. The degree of their perplexity and frustration led us to look upon them as lost. Following the description of each of the patients, the paper comments on four main areas: story making and its absence; the importance to the patient of not knowing; holding; technique. We believe that every analyst has encountered such a lost one in their practice.

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Utilisation of humour by psychotherapists attracts increased interest. While the constructive and untoward potential of the use of humour in therapy has been discussed in the clinical literature, the issue has hardly been investigated empirically. The present study explored the reactions of patients to therapist interventions which employed humorous as compared to nonhumorous control reactions. The sample consisted of 60 female patients, of three personality types: obsessive, hysterical and depressive. They were asked to rate on 8‐point scales twelve simulated, tape‐recorded therapist interventions of three functional categories: anxiety reduction, perspective building and emotional confrontation. The results indicated a persistent preference for the nonhumorous over the humorous intervention. Statistical analysis revealed no main effects of either personality type or kind of humour, but these two variables were shown to interact significantly in determining the extent of preference for the nonhumorous over the humorous communications. Analysis of open‐ended responses indicated more ambivalent attitudes toward the use of humour by patients. The implications of the findings for therapeutic theory and practice are disc

摘要:

SUMMARY.In this paper I have suggested that the analytic attitudeis thecontribution to psychiatry generally and should, at least to the extent of respecting the significance of and the security provided by symptoms in terms of the patient's psychic reality, characterise every form of psychotherapeutic intervention. I have also sought to make explicit and extend understanding of non‐defensive passivity. The latter is implicit in Schafer's advocacy of action language and specifically referred to in his mention of excessive claiming of agency, and in his references to necessity, accidents and happenings (1982, pp. 100, 106

摘要:

SUMMARY.Freud's‘Dora’case is an example of hysteria in which the symptoms themselves are fundamentally id‐phenomena modified and disguised. In other hysteria cases the symptoms may originate in the harsh superego and represent childhood punishments, reinvoked in a desperate effort to hold forbidden impulses in repression. Analytic interpretation of such symptoms can help to loosen the repressive barrier. At the same time the fact of reinvocation of childhood punishments can alert the analyst to the presence of forbidden impulses clamouring for expre

摘要:

SUMMARY (OF PARTS 1 AND 2).In Part 1 an analysis is made of the neglect of the father in depth psychology. This is followed by an attempt to find meaning and purpose in incestuous fantasy and behaviour. The role of the father in the formation of gender identity in his sons and daughters is discussed. In Part 2 it is proposed that clinicians begin to think of an optimally erotic relation between father and daughter, and of the father as transforming the aggression of the son. A further new concept is introduced, that of unconscious‘gender certainty’. The paper includes some reflections on the general cultural aspects of the ideas raised in
