The history of living nondirected kidney donation, so-called altruistic or Good Samaritan donation, is notable for its associated skepticism if not outright rejection. Since its possibility, transplantation institutes have been concerned over the motives of individuals who present to their clinics with the wish to donate a kidney to a stranger. Are these motives pure? Might there be ulterior motives or secondary gain? Or might these motives be pathological, derivative from a psychiatric disease or syndrome? Although attitudes toward the nondirected donor have improved, skepticism remains: Why, after all, benefit another <i>in this way</i>? This article begins with a case study, a subject who sat down for three interviews to speak freely about his reasons for donating a kidney nondirectedly. It then turns to the background of living kidney donation and a review of pertinent psychoanalytic theories of altruism, rescue fantasies, and the secret benefactor. It concludes with a discussion of the case and its implications for psychosocial evaluation guidelines for nondirected kidney donation. The hypothesis is that the motives behind nondirected kidney donation are likely multitudinous (altruistic and egoistic) and, sometimes, unconscious, yet the risks, despite current evaluation guidelines, may be no greater for that.</p>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aps.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801389","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}

One factor that may be of particular interest to psychoanalytically oriented social scientists is object relations, pathology in which is often operationalized in terms of three dimensions (identity diffusion, primitive defenses, and problems in reality testing). There are reasons to expect that each of these three dimensions might be associated with contemporary right-wing conservatism, although this has not yet received much empirical examination. In this study we address this issue, examining the association between dimensions of pathological object relations and right-wing conservatism in a broad sample of U.S. residents (<i>N</i> = 392) using a partial least squares approach to structural equation modeling. Results suggest that primitive defenses and reality testing problems are positively, and identity diffusion is negatively, associated with right-wing conservatism. These findings have implications for how we might understand right-wing conservatism and dialogue with those identifying with it.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112908","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}

The authors discuss the importance of flying within the religious and cultural background of Palestine as well as the prevalence of kite imagery in children's books, songs, and artisanship. Clinical cases reflecting the theme of flying are also described. The authors argue that the format of the proposed therapeutic activity is particularly appropriate to Palestine because of the large numbers of children with traumatic experiences and because of the central role of collective engagement as the bedrock of psychological resilience in Palestine. The activity of making and flying kites is especially suited to the process of working through losses, because of the kite's symbolic implications of freedom, joy, and personal agency; the child's own kite, and special messages the child may write on the kite, can express enduring psychic connection with beloved people and things who have been lost. The specifics of the therapeutic project are outlined in detail, including the capacity to recognize and to refer for specialized mental health services those children who may require it.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143110600","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":"The erasure of a people: Gaps in Lithuanian Holocaust memory","authors":"Audre Jarmas","doi":"10.1002/aps.1896","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/aps.1896","url":null,"abstract":"<p>This paper examines a 1950 essay published by my immigrant father in the Lithuanian-language press in the U.S. By focusing exclusively on the brutal Soviet occupation during WWII, his piece erases Lithuanian Jews and the Holocaust. Lithuanians' “chosen trauma”, using Vamik Volkan's term, lasted 5 decades and remains the cataclysmic event in their historical accounting. Caught between Stalin and Hitler, however, Lithuania was also a site of the Holocaust by bullets, where many Lithuanians assisted Nazis in murdering over 90% of the country's approximately 200,000 Jews. Afterwards, Lithuanians clung to an idealized Lithuania, characterized by victimhood, washed clean of collaboration in nationwide massacres, and largely erased of the memory of its once-thriving Jewry. As a psychoanalyst born to postwar Lithuanian immigrants, I discovered this essay while researching the intergenerational impact of that whitewashing. Its dramatic language reflects the mindset of the Lithuanian American community in which I was raised. Without any reference to either Jewish Lithuanians or the Holocaust, the piece creates an alternate reality that conjures a shadow tragedy precisely by what is <i>not</i> said. Whether through deliberate obfuscation or dissociative mechanisms, a collective failure to grapple honestly with culpability may have left Lithuania suspended between an unsustainable illusion of innocent victimhood and an enactment of unconscious guilt. Global threats of authoritarianism and antisemitism underscore a need to grasp how unprocessed shame and guilt can fuel resurgent fears, prejudices and the repetition of atrocity. Granular exploration of the kind of thinking represented in the essay offers an opportunity.</p>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143120323","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}
