The complementarity of the approach of cognitive neurosciences with that of psychoanalysis proves fruitful for thinking about the person in his subjectivity. Without denying the reality of neurological and cognitive damage, this work aims to qualify the deficit vision that still persists today.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>A qualitative longitudinal study makes it possible to appreciate the effect of the aggravation of the disease on the representational capacities and the processes of symbolization of the elderly suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The methodological device provides for a clinical interview, a neuropsychological assessment and the proposition of three projective tests (Rorschach, Thematic Apperception Test, Sceno-test).</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The support of the object in these figurative and sensory qualities and the modalities of relational investment, subject to a measured affect, proves conducive to the resumption of the work of liaison. From this reseach, a certain number of limits due to the disease also emerge: the transitory character of these recovered capacities indicates the great dependence of the sick persons on their environment. The figurative qualities of the object appear as a support but also as a limitation of the thought of the person who struggles to free herself from the perception identity. The presence of the real object contains and retains the expression of the sick person's internal world.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This research opens up valuable perspectives in the adaptation of life skills, particularly for caregivers in institutions, but also for family members. The potential for encounters that it highlights supports their empathic and identification capacities and reduces the disturbing “uncanny” sometimes experienced. Finally, the recognition of subjectivity in spite of the severity of the disorders supports a humanistic vision of the ill person and invites us to think of disturbed behaviors as being both a deficit sign linked to the illness but also, potentially, an attempt to express subjectivity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"7 2","pages":"Article 100370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135738215","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}

Une des questions qu’elle soulève est celle de savoir si le complexe d’œdipe est nécessaire pour qu’un individu parvienne à s’inscrire dans la relation à l’autre. N’existerait-il pas certains styles relationnels qui ne seraient pas structurés par le complexe d’œdipe ?</p></div><div><h3>Résultats</h3><p>Avec l’hypothèse d’une structure autistique, nous verrons qu’il est possible, avec les autismes, d’observer l’existence d’une organisation psychique et d’un mode relationnel, non psychotiques, dans lesquels le complexe d’œdipe ne serait pas le pivot central. Les observations ethnographiques et les témoignages recueillis dans le cadre de ma thèse (2021) ont par ailleurs contribué à mettre en évidence chez les personnes autistes un mode hypersensoriel d’être au monde, où une relation hors-les-mots est rendue possible avec n’importe quel élément du monde, prévalant sur la relation à l’autre humain. En cela, le rapport au monde vivant non-humain des autistes s’apparente en de nombreux points à celui des cultures animistes.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Ainsi, les différentes structures sociales et les autismes ouvrent sur la question, non pas d’un « anti-œdipe », mais d’un « au-delà de l’œdipe », dont certains aspects pourraient être observables dans les cultures occidentales et naturalistes.</p></div><div><h3>Background</h3><p>Anthropology, by exploring the variations of the Oedipus complex and its relativity depending on social structures, can be used to engage critically with the Freudian theory. It calls into question the necessity of the Oedipus complex for an individual to engage in his relationship to others. Could a relational mode exist that would not be structured by the Oedipus complex?</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>With the hypothesis of an autistic structure, we will see how it is possible, with the example of autism spectrum disorder, to observe the existence of a non-psychotic psychic organization and relational mode, in which the Oedipus complex wouldn’t be the pivotal point. Furthermore, the ethnographic observations and testimonies collected in my doctoral thesis (2021) contribute to highlighting an hypersensorial way of being in the world among autistic people, which opens the possibility of an outside-of-words relationship with any element of the world that can be more important than relationships with other humans. Autistic people's link to the living non-human world seems similar, in many ways, to that of animist societies.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Comparing autism and different social structures raises the question not of an “anti-Oedipus,” but of a “beyond Oedipus,” some aspects of which can be observed in Western and naturalistic cultures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"7 2","pages":"Article 100366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50199531","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}
