The historical recovery of this legacy is marked by the demands of contemporary society, which impose the need to take analytical listening outside private practice. Here, as a community practice, psychoanalysis works with the subject's subjectivity set against the backdrop of unconscious processes and transference relationships. In Portugal, psychoanalytic intervention in the community is not formally documented, although there is informal knowledge of psychoanalysts' activities in the field. Thus, the present study aimed to: (1) Map the interventions of psychoanalysis in the community in Portugal; (2) Understand their theoretical and technical characteristics and the instruments used. Data were collected using two main instruments: (a) a socio-demographic characterization survey on the types of community intervention conducted by psychoanalysts; (b) a semi-structured interview on the theoretical and technical characteristics of the interventions. Understanding psychoanalytic interventions in the community provides better knowledge of the theoretical and technical scope of psychoanalytic assumptions, their limitations and adaptations, thus fostering dialog and building bridges with other fields of knowledge.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"23 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148467274","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}

This article reads Euripides' <i>Iphigenia at Aulis</i> through Melanie Klein's account of the Paranoid-Schizoid and Depressive positions, arguing that the play and the psychoanalytic framework converge upon the same architecture of instrumental violence: the psychic operation that converts persons into fungible units of exchange. Agamemnon is read not as a tragic hero torn between competing obligations but as a figure arrested in part-object relating, structurally incapable of guilt. Clytemnestra is repositioned as the play's diagnostic instrument: the whole-object perceiver whose capacity for integration renders the King's pathology textually visible. The argument draws on Wilfred Bion's account of beta-elements to supply the connective mechanism by which intrapsychic splitting replicates at institutional scale, and on Emmanuel Levinas's ethics of the face to specify the prohibition the split operator cannot hear. Two contemporary cases ground the extension empirically: Boeing's MCAS-era leadership culture and Wells Fargo's cross-selling regime. Moral injury is argued to be not a secondary symptom of organizational life but the ontological cost borne by those who maintain whole-object perception within systems governed by Paranoid-Schizoid logic.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"23 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148462905","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}

They all face numerous health risk factors, particularly in terms of mental health: separation from or loss of parents, trauma, exile, and immersion in an unfamiliar environment, all of this as a minor. However, their distress is often overlooked or underestimated. Particularly, the psychological impact of being separated from familiar adults, as well as from their cultural environment of reference, is rarely taken into account in the care they receive. Paradoxically, and likely as a result, the extent of their suffering very rarely leads to psychotherapy. It is as if the psychoanalyst's encounter with a culturally-different, further burden by heavy trauma patient, stirs up both the familiar and the unfamiliar. On the one hand, as a human being the patient functions, consciously and unconsciously, in a similar way to the analyst, and hence is recognizable. On the other hand, differences between them linked to their cultural backgrounds or to the extreme trauma effects, bring in the unfamiliar. For instance, material may emerge that is repressed in the culture of one but given open expression in that of the other, bringing the return of the repressed and the uncanny. Collective fantasies in the analyst about the patient's culture, including unconscious stereotypes, may also be present and impact the transference and countertransference dynamic.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"23 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148324583","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}

In the short story <i>Tony Takitani</i>, Murakami portrays a father and son confronting trauma and loss in the aftermath of the Second World War and the nuclear devastation of Japan. The text suggests that the collective trauma of the war functions as an unclaimed and largely unspeakable experience, giving rise to parallel psychic processes in both the first and second generations. These processes are characterized by absent grief and forms of manic undoing, which operate as defensive attempts to seal painful experiences within a psychic crypt, thereby generating transgenerational phantom formations. Within this crypt are encapsulated unprocessed affects associated with loss, including grief over family members, as well as shame and disgust tied to the historical context of the war. Their efforts to reconstruct their lives unfold within a postwar reality marked by an absence of dialog regarding the traumatic experiences they endured. This silence reflects broader social attempts to recover from collective trauma without engaging in mourning or working through painful contents, leaving traumatic material embedded in the personal and social unconscious. Moreover, Murakami's narrative illustrates not only the manifestations of absent grief across two generations, but also the ways in which such unprocessed loss is transmitted intergenerationally, even when experience remains enveloped in silence. The analysis further considers the convergence of fictional, collective, and personal narratives considering Murakami's biographical context.</p>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aps.70061","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148324161","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}

This paper draws on object relations theory—particularly Bion's account of alpha-function and containment, and Winnicott's concepts of potential space and holding—to argue that thinking, understood as the capacity to transform raw experience into thinkable form, depends on environmental conditions that can be supported or degraded. I examine whether contemporary technological environments, particularly those shaped by artificial intelligence, algorithmic curation, and the attention economy, threaten these conditions. The paper identifies four interconnected dynamics: the outsourcing of transformative cognitive work to AI systems; the colonization of potential space by algorithmically optimized stimuli; the substitution of pseudo-containment (systems that receive communications but cannot metabolize them) for genuine human containment; and structural support for orientations against knowing. I review empirical literature from cognitive science, clinical psychiatry, and AI research that provides evidence consistent with these theoretical concerns. The paper argues that what is at stake is not primarily privacy, manipulation, or autonomy in their usual senses, but the ongoing capacity for generative thinking itself—a concern that dominant frameworks in AI ethics are not well-positioned to articulate.</p>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aps.70060","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148324162","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}

I attempt to investigate these narratives through psychoanalytical means, using Serbian extreme right wing politics in a last several decades as an example how ideology relies on vehement emotions, unconscious fantasies as well as sociological structures. Several psychoanalytical authors have written about extreme right ideology within the framework of psychosexual development and early anxieties related to otherness and primal scene. These anxieties are taken over by existing societal structures and it is this transformation of unconscious fantasies into hostile political action may elucidate the mechanisms that distort perceptions of society and the world, mobilizing vulnerable individuals to align with populist and extreme right ideologies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148282007","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}

It is informed by numerous accounts of workers leaving abusive relationships after unionizing.

Research findings and specific recommendations as to how social movements can improve participants' mental well-being are provided. The paper argues for overcoming the controversies of internalized oppression by (A) focusing on the general concept of internalized oppression rather than specific manifestations of it, (B) viewing internalized oppression a spectrum phenomenon, (C) identifying points of friction through Du Bois's conceptualization of “double consciousness,” and (D) focusing upon how people internalize both being oppressed and the reproduction of oppression. Then Antonio Gramsci's conceptualization of cultural hegemony and “organic intellectuals” is explored as well as the idea of psychodynamic leadership. Finally, psychoanalytic thought is utilized to situate individuals within capitalist cultural hegemony. Next, object relations theory and ego psychology are specifically explored. For the former I review Winnicott's notions of the True Self/False Self, “holding environments” and “abrogation.” I argue that social movements can function as holding environments that enable people to develop their True Self. For the latter I explore Anna Freud's conceptualization of identification with the aggressor. Penultimately, research findings are presented to argue for the development of psychodynamic organic intellectuals and the development of social movements as holding environments.

In a world inured to mass suffering, and paralyzed by a sense of impotence, the crisis in Palestine has had a unique impact on the collective consciousness and conscience, engendering unprecedented mobilizations across society. A situation with such devastating consequences for the physical and psychological well-being of a whole society confronts health professionals with pressing questions about their response, as citizens and as members of civil society institutions, made more urgent by their location, more often than not, within societies that have participated in the genocide. The approach is idiosyncratic. The paper explores a perceived split between an acceptance of moral responsibility matched with a sense of agency where harm is perpetrated in the domestic and private setting, as against the denial or avoidance of a recognition of being implicated in analogous situations in the public realm. It does this through an overlapping discussion of two issues, one from each sphere: pedophilia/child sexual exploitation, and settler colonialism. With an eye to the relevance of this to the ethical life of psychoanalysis, this author argues that the basis for inaction—a performative commitment to human rights accompanied by a tenacious passivity or paralysis—is ripe for revision, to bring the profession into line with long-established medical ethics.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148237713","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}
