{"title":"The West: An autoimmune disease?","authors":"Liviu Poenaru","doi":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100469","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100469","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Context</h3><div>This work explores the paradoxical stress mechanisms in Western societies, marked by consumption and comfort. Despite the perceived well-being of modern capitalist societies, a profound psychosomatic discontent manifests, reflected in the rise of stress-induced illnesses, autoimmune diseases, and psychiatric disorders. The article uses the metaphor of autoimmunity to describe Western societal dysfunction, drawing parallels between biological self-destruction and societal self-harm driven by hyper-individualism, economic pressures, and digital dependencies.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>This study aims to analyze the mechanisms through which Western societies contribute to self-destructive processes, paralleling the way autoimmune diseases function within the body. It seeks to demonstrate how excessive control, consumerism, and the digital environment exacerbate stress, which in turn contributes to both physical and psychological deterioration. The philosophical question underpinning this analysis is whether the societal and economic systems in the West are undermining the self-defense mechanisms of their members, akin to an autoimmune response.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>The article adopts a qualitative and theoretical approach, integrating concepts from psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and epidemiology. The author incorporates clinical observations, epidemiological data, and philosophical reflections to explore the effects of chronic stress on mental and physical health. Drawing on psychoneuroimmunology, the research explores the bi-directional interaction between the mind, nervous system, and immune function, focusing on the relationship between stress, inflammation and autoimmune diseases.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Our exploration reveals a significant correlation between the rise of autoimmune diseases and the psychosocial stresses of Western capitalist societies. Epidemiological data support the link between chronic stress, psychiatric disorders, and autoimmune conditions. The article also highlights how the digital economy's manipulation of stress and fear (such as through FOMO) contributes to widespread psychological distress. This stress, in turn, disrupts immune function, leading to a cycle of physical and psychological degeneration.</div></div><div><h3>Interpretation</h3><div>Western societies, through their relentless pursuit of control, comfort, and consumption, create environments of heightened stress that mirror the dysfunctions of autoimmune diseases, where the body turns against itself. The research suggests that modern capitalist structures are pathogenic, exacerbating stress, weakening immune resilience, and fostering mental health crises. The article concludes that a holistic approach is necessary to address this systemic dysfunction, advocating for a reconceptualization of health that integrates mental, physical, and societal well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"8 3","pages":"Article 100469"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142593940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Intergenerational transmission of resilience, resistance and trauma: Philosophical persistency in existential analysis","authors":"J.-M. Darves-Bornoz","doi":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100468","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100468","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Context&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Resilience is implicitly thought to be a capacity that some have without having done much to obtain it, so that the notion of resistance to existential wounds, such as trauma among others, remains necessary. Resistance does not always cause healing and fulfillment, especially in child trauma, but it is legitimate to embark on it. All therapies consist in resuming a development, whatever the blockage that stopped it: existential or organic, current or archaic, due to a personality or temperament. They attempt thus an &lt;em&gt;intergenerational neo-transmission&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objective&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This article defends five theoretical theses that are equally useful in practice and technique. They underline the strength of existential psychoanalysis, as each individual appears dissimilar in the face of a potential narcissistic wound, including trauma.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Method&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Five paragraphs in the article first summarize a thesis in their title, and then explain its roots and extent. Their arguments rely on observational and epidemiological clinics, as well as psychodynamic and philosophical theories. In trauma, we parallel theory and technique with practice to approach knowledge. Helping survivors often excludes their confrontation to an experimental repetition, with or without some mathematical methodology.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;(1) Perceptions are not neutral. Any event, narcissistic wound or trauma is perceived by the subjects through their own vision of the world, which can then fracture. Subjects should reconstruct their perception of the world, but they do not always do that. (2) Resistance spontaneously evokes military fight or, in a psychoanalytical framework, a psychological obstruction by patients. The meaning of resistance in our case is different. Resisting a traumatic destruction is an emotional and intellectual effort to move beyond stupefying awareness. (3) Existence fragments the psyche, but not necessarily up to pathology. Trauma often dissociates fragments, whereas other experiences rarely so isolate. (4) The intergenerational transmission of internal images, from psyche to psyche, influences exposure to adverse events. It also exists, once the event occurred, an intergenerational transmission of vulnerability or resistance to trauma: it refers less to the fragmentation of psyche than to the transmission – or not – of associative praxis enabling a conversation between the individualized sectors of psyche. (5) All psychoanalyses move thoughts from fragments of the psyche to others. Associating these fragments frees thought and prevents mistakes. Associative effort on internal images makes identity truer. It frees from repetitions and alienating identifications. Otherwise, an alienated or poorly associative self would remain unaware of the close link of some dissociated fragments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideas presented here emerged insistently throughout de","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"8 3","pages":"Article 100468"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the abundance of advertising linked to the multiplication of digital media (Internet, video games, etc.), it is important to better understand the effects and non-conscious processes involved, as well as some of the deleterious consequences for individuals and society.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objectives&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Firstly, to show how advertising and commercial communication influence people without their being aware of it. What kinds of non-conscious processes are involved? Secondly, the aim is to show that these non-conscious influences pose a number of humanistic and societal problems, (a) on public health, notably the obesity epidemic with ads for “junk food”, (b) on social representations of happiness, (c) on individual freedom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Method&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The demonstration is based, firstly, on a literature review of scientific research, essentially using experimentation in order to guarantee a high level of scientific evidence, in the following disciplines: cognitive psychology, positive psychology, social psychology, marketing research, communication sciences and public health. Secondly, the demonstration is based on a critical study in the light of the philosophies of action and freedom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Scientific research has highlighted four main types of non-conscious processes and effects, the validity of which, assured in particular by the experimental method, is now well established: the effects of non-conscious brand perception; the influences of low-attention exposures: simple brand exposure and simple forgotten exposure; the non-conscious effects of attitude conditioning; the non-conscious effects of the emotional contexts in which brands are inserted. Commercial communication actions have deleterious non-conscious effects (1) for public health, with advertisements for foods of poor nutritional quality targeted at children, (2) for social representations of “happiness” by giving it the face of materialism. Philosophically, these influences limit individual freedom by “automatically” directing consumers’ beliefs and desires.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Interpretations&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The non-conscious influences of advertising, well established, raise ethical and societal questions. They can have deleterious effects on public health, notably by encouraging the obesity epidemic. They also contribute to misleading representations of happiness, associating it with materialism, which in turn can diminish long-term well-being. On a moral level, commercial communication aimed at non-conscious influences, considered as manipulation, is an attack on people's individual freedom of action.

The possibility of an interdisciplinary dialogue in this framework is linked to an initial intra-disciplinary work, an effort, for each discipline, of conceptualisation and definition of a clear and rigorous theoretical positioning allowing, in a second time, its sharing. One of the limits is our positioning in this research: we note the ambiguity of being, as clinicians, researchers in a non-clinical position. This double positioning is difficult to separate, i.e. our experience and position as clinicians in other settings inevitably colours our relationship to the research and our place in the project, as well as our analyses. This aspect, if we can put it to work in an intra-disciplinary way, is sometimes reminded to us by colleagues from other disciplines.

Réflexions autour du cancer de la prostate","authors":"Anne-Sophie Van Doren ,&nbsp;Benoit Verdon","doi":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100460","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100460","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Context&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The clinical study of prostate cancer, particularly from a psychopathological perspective, remains relatively underexplored yet it serves as a site for serious and often lasting questioning of the erectile capacities of the penis, and thus potentially of the phantasmatic investments it is subject to. Moreover, this common cancer is particularly linked to the issue of aging, which radically tests the fragilities and narcissistic resources of patients. Power, performance, endurance, and counter-investment against passivity and depression become particularly acute issues in the relationship to oneself, to women, and to men. It then appears essential to delineate the psychological stakes of phallic demand in the articulation between the psychic reality of infantile sexuality and the external realities of aging, illness, and social representations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objectives&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This study aims to understand how the traumatic experience of prostate cancer—an acute realization and embodiment of aging and vulnerability—reveals fault lines not only shaped by the primacy of the phallus but also reinforced by societal phallic logic, balancing constraints and ideals. It seeks to discern the fragilities and resources of male narcissism related to phallic demands and their implications. The primacy of the phallus and its associated infantile sexual theory are thus questioned in their organizing or disorganizing roles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Method&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The study is based on a multifaceted methodology: an examination of the taboo surrounding the representation of the male sex in painting, semi-structured interviews, and projective tests conducted with twenty men in their sixties who have been treated for prostate cancer. A case study allows for a thorough and heuristic articulation of theoretical and clinical questions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Honor and virility emerge as particularly significant narcissistic issues, contributing to a hypomanic masculinity that enables men to shift the stakes of various anxieties (death anxiety, passivity anxiety, and castration anxiety) into the form of another anxiety: a narcissistic death anxiety rooted in virility, the dread of no longer existing as a man in the eyes of others. At the intersection of social, psychosexual, and somatopsychic spheres, prostate cancer thus uncovers a taboo Achilles’ heel. This is composed of unconscious interactions and loyalties between the phallic demand (both internal and external) and a partial dependency on the sensory dimension of erection, necessitating a reevaluation of masculinity, the phallus, and erection independent of sensory perception.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Interpretations&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Society reinforces the confusion between the sensory perception of erection and the sense of virility and masculine reassurance on a psychological level through a collective and cultural imagination that associates characteristics of power, endurance, and","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"8 2","pages":"Article 100460"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
