Article 19 of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child obliges States to protect children against all forms of violence, hence the concern, in France, for efficient justice and the least possible impact on minors presumed to be victims during proceedings. Legal proceedings conducted by investigators, and in particular those hearings of minors presumed to be victims, can be a trying time. To ensure that the conditions for giving evidence are as untraumatizing as possible, an experiment involving the accompaniment of minors by a courthouse dog (CHD) was begun in Cahors in 2019 and was extended to other towns such as Orléans. This accompaniment by a CHD, inspired by an initiative developed in the United States in 2012, can take place during all stages of the legal process. Currently, France is the only European country to experiment with this accompaniment. Before proposing a systematization of the use of CHD, it is necessary to assess the feelings of those involved in this accompaniment, particularly those of the victims, which is the aim of this study.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>This study is multicentric (conducted in Orléans and Cahors), retrospective, and descriptive. Data were collected in 2021 using hetero-questionnaires proposed to the minors and focusing on their behaviors and feelings (<em>n</em> <!-->=<!--> <!-->111), before presentation of the CHD; during the presence of the CHD; and at the end of the hearing.

After the hearing and on departure, in the presence of the dog: 4.5% were still showing signs of anxiety and 27% were smiling. The CHD had a calming effect on all those involved, too. It did not disrupt the course of the hearings. The CHD guaranteed total neutrality, did not induce any suggestibility, and was able to position himself with the minors in a discreet, gentle, and effective manner.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>The triangular relationship – juvenile, investigator, CHD – appears to be beneficial for all involved, according to the testimonies of both juveniles and professionals. The CHD is a catalyst for the minors’ attention, a protector in the face of the unknown; it seems to encourage the freeing of speech and establishes a calming dynamic. Physical and visual contact with the CHD had a reassuring effect. For the investigators, who were generally meeting the minor for the first time, the CHD was appreciated as a real support, as a working partner and a neutral positive reinforcer, as investigators must exercise their profession according to a legal approach of absolute neutrality that does not necessarily correspond to the needs of the tra","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":"88 4","pages":"Pages 621-638"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114817926","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}

Psychologue clinicienne, psychothérapeute)","doi":"10.1016/j.evopsy.2023.04.006","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.evopsy.2023.04.006","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Objective</h3><p>The metapsychology of musical creation elaborated from the direct clinical approach of the musician-artist is rarely explored within the psychoanalytical literature. The aim of this article is to explain how clinical listening to musicians allows us to posit some specificities related to musical creation and to suggest the need to elaborate a particular practice of listening. In doing so, clinicians can respond in an adapted way to the requests for psychic care that are addressed to them. This subject calls for interdisciplinarity: identity and practice of musical art, theories and practices of the analytical clinical practice. In view of this complexity and amplitude, this essay also aims to be synthetic and circumscribed.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>The article is based on a selection of works by Freud and D. Anzieu dedicated to artistic creation. From our intra-textual critical reading, correspondences are established. Other theoretical contributions are inserted in filigree in our proposal as a complement. All of this is articulated with our clinical observations resulting from psychotherapeutic work with conservatory-trained professional musicians.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Freud expressed his distance and reservations concerning the understanding of musical art and this position is generally thought of in terms of a-musicality. However, the weaving of his research associated with that of D. Anzieu, as well as the metapsychology of music and the collection of our clinical data, allow us to identify the particularities of the psychic reality involved in musical creation. It is a question of almost constant and neuralgic anxieties. These last ones relate, on the one hand, to the mechanisms of regression constituting one of the psychic properties of music, which stems from the status of sound as an extension of the intra-uterine environment, and on the other hand, to the mechanisms of psychic dissociation strongly mobilized in performance situations. The musical training frequently committed to in childhood, even early childhood, and the repression, denial, or revelation of its socio-affective context by the musician-patients received in my consultation complete this clinical picture. These particularities shed analytical light on the nature of the complaint and symptoms at work in certain musicians. They also inform the encounter between the clinician and the musician, precisely the transferential dimension, when this is loaded with resistance. Moreover, it appears that the treatment of psychological suffering is most often oriented in the first instance towards supportive psychotherapy, within the framework of adapted devices, without ruling out the possibilities of analytical psychotherapy and a typical cure. One of the therapeutic stakes would consist essentially in regulating the anxieties of loss relating to the movements of constant coming and going between the mechanisms of dissociation of the self a","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":"88 4","pages":"Pages 551-574"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114767211","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}

Additionally, it aims to explore an interpretative key for Perec's work and creative processes in general. This exploration takes place in light of the evolving paradigms of current psychoanalytic interpretation, focusing on the crucial representation of the object's absence, as opposed to other modes of interpretation.</p></div><div><h3>Methodology</h3><p>The method employed for “listening” to literary texts draws inspiration from clinical psychoanalysis. This article proposes an examination of “W or the Memory of Childhood” and “A Man Asleep” through the lens of psychoanalytic practice with patients who, like Perec, claim to lack childhood memories and show signs of being marked by significant losses and/or traumas during their early years. Contemporary clinical practice often encounters states of subjective withdrawal that numerous forms of contemporary art attempt to represent. The interaction between a psychoanalytic approach to Perec's work and psychoanalytic clinical work can shed light on certain particularities of the creative process. The focus will be on listening to the sensory impressions conveyed in the text and the writer's associations stemming from his bodily experiences as a child.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>This contribution puts forth the hypothesis of the role played in the creative process by incorporative identification. The shadow of Perec's parents’ bodies is particularly evident in the autobiographical fiction of “W,” where the writing portrays a body fragmented into shattered islands – memories and body parts crushed, wrecked, and petrified. These enigmatic traces of object presence gradually gain coherence as we progress in our reading. According to this perspective, the writing is unconsciously driven to “disincorporate,” so to speak, the petrified objects within the writer, attempting to emerge from psychic petrification. In “A Man Asleep,” another autobiographical fiction related to the author's late adolescence, the shadow of <em>what did not take place</em> with the object inhabits the narrative. This text encourages the psychoanalyst, particularly in clinical practice with patients suffering from chronic depression, to try to release the patients from melancholic incorporations, enabling them to break free from petrification","PeriodicalId":45007,"journal":{"name":"Evolution Psychiatrique","volume":"88 4","pages":"Pages 483-496"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135706072","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}

Raising repetition to the rank of one of the four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis, Lacan uses Kierkegaard's text entitled “Repetition” to point out the renewal of fecundity that the tendency towards repetition can induce. This article demonstrates how the creative dimension of repetition finds a particularly vivid illustration in the field of music, a domain that makes regular and varied use of the term “repetition.”</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>This article takes up themes deployed in a series of conferences during the academic year 2021/2022 at the École Pratique des Hautes Études en Psychopathologie, associating musicians – Vincent Ségal – psychoanalysts – Marc Morali, Corinne Tyszler, Olivier Douville – and music lovers, Mario Choueiry, and leaving a large place to musical listening. This study, beyond a reading of the repetition as an expression of the death drive, studies the way in which we can hear and put to work this Freudian notion through its manifestation in the musical register. In this paper, we explore the question of repetition in the sphere of popular music but also in jazz and classical music in order to apprehend its articulation with the very movement of creation.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>In so-called popular music, and mainly in rock music, the covering a song consists in proposing a version, more or less faithful or distant, of an original piece – and not in imitating it. Listening to this cover causes a particular satisfaction in the listener who can identify it. Usually considered as a tribute to the pioneers or the mark of a debt towards elders, the cover version is however above all an attempt, impregnated with hostility, to erase the origin. This is how covers come to not only supplant the original pieces but also to repress them, to make them totally forgotten. Jazz is also attached to covering standards, not only as a necessary learning exercise, but as a way for artists impose their own style and thus gain recognition. The cover of a standard can be the occasion to make audible a blind spot in the original work, or to bring to the surface a trait of identity unknown to itself. Within the context of classical music, the progression of a work is also regularly done through the repetition of a theme that renews itself through slight displacements.

It is based on the hypothesis that the work of integrating subjective experience recorded at the somatic level presupposes the creation of a form compatible with psychic functioning.</p></div><div><h3>Methodology</h3><p>It is therefore based on a specific methodology for research into metapsychological modeling, the main thrust of which consists in trying to identify not just one particular statement, but above all the process of theorization that can be identified throughout Freud's texts. In this sense, it is presented as a “clinical theory.” The analysis of the process of theorization, while of course focusing on the propositions that Freud spells out in his texts, is above all centered on an analysis of their sequence, and hence of a certain form of associativity. This method of reading, based on a consideration of the associativity of the texts, assumes the hypothesis of a “transference” from Freud to the “metapsychological witch,” a transference that testifies to the fact that Freud is continuing the self-analytical work begun in the Interpretation of Dreams. For our purposes here, this methodology is epistemologically supported by both work and research from developmental psychology and in certain statements from the neurosciences.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>In order to articulate psychoanalytic metapsychology more closely to the somatic background of subjective experience, it is necessary to deconstruct the hypothesis of a perception-consciousness system – a hypothesis born of an illusion of the ego in relation to the speed of cerebral processes – in order to emphasize that perception is a somatic process that is highly organized by the complexity of the cerebral operations that determine its form. Giving perception back its place in the soma also requires us to change our conception of the drive, the thrust of which cannot be separated from the impact of subjective experience on the subject's life. Finally, this paradigmatic inflection allows us to delve deeper into the role and function of the ego's core-envelopes, highlighting their dialectic role in the creation of forms compatible with psychic functioning.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>The challenge of the paradigmatic evolution thus implied is to open the way to a new consideration of the archaic processes that are very active in a whole series of narcissistic suffering.

Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer whose work renewed fantasy literature and inaugurated a new genre. His first master was Edgar Allan Poe, but he was also influenced by Lord Dunsany and Arthur Machen. Author of numerous novels and short stories, but also of a rich correspondence of several tens of thousands of letters (as many as 100,000, according to one count!), his world is haunted by the degeneration of bodies, the dissolution of the limits of reality, and the danger of the Other and the intense anguish that it provokes. Preferring the mediation of writing to the real physical presence, Lovecraft expresses a generalized xenophobia tending to racism and based on the disgust caused by the body of the other.

By its extraordinary extent – novels and correspondence – it occupies the place of the Imaginary, a space where the registers of the Symbolic and the Real are linked together. Thus, for him, the dream becomes a direct and continuous source of creation.
