The “mentally handicapped” subject, when reduced to their neuronal aetiology, is considered from a deficit perspective, which relegates the investigation of psychic life to the background or even renders it superfluous. Following in the footsteps of D. Widlöcher, we point out that Kraepelin's thinking, which made the therapeutic indication dependent on the supposed aetiology, is now outdated. We therefore emphasize the individual differences in the relationship that develops between the young disabled person and his or her family, and in the interaction between their psyches. The effects of the birth of a disabled child on the construction of the feeling of parenthood, the bond of filiation, and parental narcissism are thus understood within the dynamics of interactions, both real and <em>fantasized</em>, which necessarily differ according to the subjects, parents and children. More specifically, we consider J. Laplanche's “fundamental anthropological situation” as a heuristic model for thinking about the psychic life of the child with a disability and the infantile sexuality that constitutes it, in adult-child interaction, as in everyone else. We hypothesize that the parental encounter with a child presenting a handicapping pathology is likely to send some parents back to their own “uncanniness,” that is to say, to the disturbing return of a repressed or primitive way of thinking abandoned a long time ago, coming from their own “internal foreign land.” This internal irruption is likely to lead t","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140781266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the Praecox Gefülh to a typification tool for pathological forms of human existence","authors":"Héloïse Haliday (Maître de conférences en psychologie clinique et psychopathologie)","doi":"10.1016/j.evopsy.2024.03.003","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.evopsy.2024.03.003","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Objectives</h3><p>The clinician who adopts a psychoanalytic approach in a psychiatric context often regards the encounter between two individuals as an interplay of subjectivities, whose mode of being-in-the-world is shaped by their unique historical experiences. Despite some psychoanalytic authors exploring the concept of “contact”, it has often been reduced to its similarity with transference and countertransference, with little attention given to its distinctive qualities. This limits psychoanalysis in its ability to conceptualize an unmediated, preverbal encounter between two individuals. In this article, we argue that the dimension of “contact” cannot be equated with transference, and that it constitutes a vital tool for diagnosing and guiding therapy for various clinical conditions commonly encountered in psychiatry.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>This article is based on theoretical considerations. We first worked on the history of the concept of contact, then of <em>Praecox Gefühl</em> in the works of H.C. Rümke, to which we added the findings of current studies on the relevance of <em>Praecox Gefühl</em> in the diagnosis of schizophrenia and the study of the works of the great phenomenological psychiatrists. In so doing, we aimed to show that contact could be a tool of great use for psychiatric diagnosis, insofar that it allows for a typification of the forms of existence of different patients.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>H.C. Rümke's investigation of the concept of <em>Praecox Gefühl</em> highlights the unique mode of contact observed in schizophrenia. It is distinct from the feeling of strangeness and involves an intuitive observation of a perceived distance within the clinical relationship. Given that many psychiatric pathologies can cause patients to withdraw from the shared world, we suggest that the notion of <em>Praecox Gefühl</em>, beyond its original designation of the clinician's experience of schizophrenic dissociation and the particularities of the schizophrenic mode of being-in-the-world, may be applicable to other pathologies studied in psychiatric phenomenology. We propose four main forms of contact: the loss of vitality in schizophrenia, the untraceable authenticity of the hysteric, the impossible fluidity in the melancholic, and the failure of anchorage in mania. By approaching contact as a fractal form that reveals the entire mode of the subject's being-in-the-world, this typifying approach goes beyond a purely semiological or etiological reflection and can be diagnostically useful in guiding therapeutic efforts to enhance the subject's capacity to truly engage with others.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>Our paper focuses on the relationship between contact and what clinicians commonly refer to as an “encounter.” It is important to recognize that contact is not always equivalent to an encounter, and that assuming otherwise risks overlooking the possibility that certain relational modalities could act","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014385524000367/pdfft?md5=44a757aa9606a84ee786afcd2973b8ad&pid=1-s2.0-S0014385524000367-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140778437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was one of the first research projects of its kind in France. Until then, only a Parisian team, led by Jean Delay, had published similar essays. Yet Henri Ey's team never published their results.

Patients were given no information concerning the expected effects, no support to reassure them during the experience, and their requests for contact were systematically interpreted in erotic terms. Despite their panic (which could go as far as vomiting), some were left alone. Doctors also sought to refine what they knew about reactions to LSD, and did not hesitate to test their patients to observe their behavior, for example by trying to make them believe that the injection they had received did not actually contain any substance. Under these conditions, session reports were mostly tinged with anguish and even terror. Although the team reported one case of recovery and 4 cases of “slight improvement,” the majority of patients experienced a worsening of their condition as a result of the experience.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>This exceptional archive gives","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140084008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas contemporary discourses tend to emphasize the role of lived events in the emergence of a psychopathological picture, we aim to demonstrate how psychoanalysis operates a shift in perspective vis-à-vis deterministic and linear explanatory models. Focusing on the case of a psychotic patient in his fifties who had lost his sight following a gunshot wound, we demonstrate how psychoanalysis invites us not to place the emphasis intrinsically on a past event. Rather, it suggests looking at the singular and unpredictable response of the subject as an individual, in a diachronic perspective that takes into account the importance of temporality and hindsight. In this way, I was able to study how this patient gradually integrated the traumatic event into a singular subjective construct. In turn, this allowed me to understand the stabilizing mechanisms of this construct, through the prism of the Freudian hypothesis of delusion as an “attempt at healing”.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>The method I adopted is that of the single case study. This approach was chosen as it is the only one that can illustrate the singularity of the subject's response in its diachronic character. In particular, I deliberately chose the style of an analytical case study. This differs from the ideal of scientific objectivity insofar as the psychoanalytic technique is characterized by the importance given to the transferential dimension in the cure, and thus calls upon the subjectivity of the therapist. Thus, I endeavored to reconstruct the history of this patient in its diachronic unfolding, by recounting the biographical and anamnestic elements as they appeared during the clinical encounter. To support this further, I integrated elements from the archival consultation of medical records. I then studied the evolution of the patient's subjective position through the prism of Freudian and Lacanian theories on psychosis.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>A psychoanalytic approach made it possible to demonstrate that in this patient, his position as the object of an injury predated the occurrence of his wounding by firearm. This later event was thus initially reintegrated, by him, within the framework of the logic of the delusion of persecution that predated it. Nevertheless, the social recognition of his position as a victim may have induced in him a pacifying effect. He was able to reinterpret the event in the aftermath, based on the construct of a position of exception. In that position, he assumed the figure of the ‘seer’ who played the role of naming, leading to a significant appeasement of the persecution anxieties.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>Here I propose a discussion of the possible similarities between the position of exception constructed by this patient, and the cases of President Schreber and the writer","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141095202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Canguilhem, then a young philosopher, medical student, and member of the French Resistance, defends the self-determination of the living individual, capable of judging what is normal or pathological – categories subsequently adopted by medicine and physiology – as well as a conception of the medical practice tailored to the singular situation. His argumentation is largely based on the theories of psychiatrists, yet excludes psychopathology from its scope.

Canguilhem responds to the latter by proposing the concept of vital normativity, which follows on from earlier work on psychology, presented in high school courses in the 1930s and in a <em>Traité de psychologie</em>, never published, which already promoted a subject able to value, to commit, and thus to escape from the determinism of his environment and organism. Regarding the relationship between science and technology, which Canguilhem began to conceptualize at the very end of the 1930s, in his <em>Essai</em>, he proposes a path that reverses that of positivism, moving from clinical practice to science, in which the former is clarified by the latter; however, scientific psychology cannot play a role equivalent to physiology in psychological care. Indeed, Canguilhem considers psychology's claim to objectivity incompatible with the respect for subjectivity that his <em>psychologie réflexive</em>, on the contrary, defends.

These cognitive disorders are present in all phases of the disease with heterogeneity between patients. This heterogeneity does not depend on whether patients have type I or type II bipolar disorders; nor does it depend on depressive, manic, or euthymic phases, although cognitive symptomatology is more intense in the acute phases. Bipolar disorders require treatment, although some treatments can have an influence on cognition, notably antipsychotics, lithium, or more general polypharmacy. The International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD) Targeting Cognition Task Force developed consensual recommendations for clinicians regarding cognitive interventions in bipolar disorders. The recommendations include an objective and subjective assessment of cognition for all patients, regardless of whether partial or complete remission is achieved. Caregivers who are not neuropsychology specialists may, after a short training period, use screening tools such as the “Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry” (SCIP) and “Cognitive Complaints in Bipolar Disorders Rating Assessment” (COBRA), and must refer patients for a more complete evaluation if any difficulties emerge. There is also an interest in regularly assessing cognition, in connection with the possibility of neurodegeneration. Indeed, there are several theories about the development of cognitive impairments in bipolar disorders in the literature. One theory suggests that neurodevelopmental factors could influence the occurrence of these disorders. On the contrary, the “neuroprogression model” postulates that allostatic load may disrupt cognitive functioning as part of a longer term degenerative process.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>The FondaMental network Centers of Expertise provide educational programs as well as interventions adapted to several aspects of psychiatric diseases, notably cognitive impairment.

Today, DID is the subject of two opposing interpretations: the psychotraumatic model and the social-cognitive model. Although they present irreconcilable differences and conceptions of the dynamics of psychic disorders, they both emphasize many points in common with regard to DID.
