The analyst's unconscious bias might present them with an opportunity for interpretation that might resemble something akin to conversion therapy. All of which leaves the patient feeling alienated thereby confirming their exiled Self. Early relational trauma affects <i>every</i> gender and sexual identity. In turn each traumatic situation, from inappropriate interference to traumatic abuse, affects how <i>an</i> individual forms and experiences relationships. Gender and sexual identity are fluid agencies of the Self within <i>all</i> human development. For people who are non-normative when it comes to their gender, identity or sexuality, evidence of early relational trauma should not unthinkingly be treated alongside mental health struggles. This clinical paper explores the once-weekly analytic work with a young trans man who was exiled and lived in a dysregulated state of mind from his early relational trauma. This paper uses images from the artist Louise Bourgeois to explore the early development of projective identification and to propose that this becomes a way of exiling unwanted feelings into the Other with the hope of finding a place of belonging as if through a psychic umbilical.</p><p>Les approches psychanalytiques traditionnelles considèrent l'implication parentale, sociale ou relationnelle excessive dans le développement humain comme l'occasion de faire des liens avec des expériences complexes de genre et d'identité. Les préjugés inconscients de l'analyste peuvent l'amener à faire des interprétations qui risquent de s'apparenter à quelque chose d'analogue à la thérapie de conversion. Tout cela amène le patient à se sentir isolé, renforçant ainsi son Soi exilé. Les traumatismes relationnels précoces affectent <i>tous</i> les genres et <i>toutes</i> les identités sexuelles. Et toute situation traumatisante - ce qui peut aller d'une interférence inappropriée à un abus traumatique - affecte la manière dont <i>chaque</i> individu construit et vit ses relations. Le genre et l'identité sexuelle sont des agents fluides du Soi dans <i>tout</i> développement humain. Pour les personnes qui ne sont pas normatives en ce qui concerne leur genre, leur identité ou leur sexualité, il est important de considérer les signes de traumatisme relationnel précoce comme une considération clinique contigüe plutôt qu'amalgamée avec des difficultés psychiques d'ordre général.

Reflecting on the refugee experience, I intend to gain more insights into our psychic functioning and the dynamics of the self in relation to itself, the other and groups. The experiences of some refugees, marked bysignificant trauma and migration, shed light on how the boundaries of the self are frequently contested and perpetually negotiated with others, and how our subjectivity is shaped by ongoing dynamics of occupation, dispute and/or negotiation, conducted at various levels of our social and individual existence. My argument is that these processes occur at a specific site: the boundaries of the self, involving intrapsychic, interpersonal and group psychological dynamics, with reverberations in the socio-political and cultural spheres, and reciprocal influences between all these levels.

When the violence is exerted by the government responsible for the care of the population it is termed state terrorism. The traumatic experience and its subsequent negation create a profound dissociation between two narratives: the explicit, which conceals the true facts, and the implicit, which remains unconscious and unbridgeable. In the gap between the two, life becomes suspended. From a Jungian perspective, this can be understood as the interruption of the process of <i>translation and integration</i> (terms that I will explore in some depth) from implicit sensory phenomena to an explicit representational narrative. This profoundly affects the development of the ego-self axis. In turn, it creates a special challenge for analytic technique that calls for new ways of listening to, and meeting the patient in, that non-verbal, unrepresented territory. Drawing upon clinical material, an embodied perspective of Jungian clinical work is offered to show how the inclusion of the body of patient and analyst enables access to the non-represented, though implicitly encoded, traumatic affective memories stored in the somatic unconscious.</p><p>Chaque traumatisme collectif a ses particularités et ses formes d'horreur.

D'un point de vue jungien, cela peut être compris comme l'interruption du processus de «traduction et d'intégration» (termes que j'explorerai plus en profondeur) des phénomènes sensoriels implicites à un récit représentationnel explicite. Cela affecte profondément le développement de l'axe ego-soi. En conséquence, cela crée un défi particulier pour la technique analytique et invite à de nouvelles façons d'écouter et de rencontrer le patient dans ce territoire non verbal et non représenté. En s'appuyant sur le matériel clinique, une perspective incarnée du travail clinique jungien est proposée.

Two clinical cases are presented to illustrate the influence of taboo on obsessive compulsions and anorexia nervosa.

This term refers to a person’s self-identifying as gender fluid, genderqueer, transgender, non-binary, gender diverse, or gender nonconforming. Young people, including older children and adolescents, increasingly are experimenting with crossing gender lines. This trend can be understood as a sociocultural process for humanizing more terrifying archetypal forms of gender diversity. Using Henderson’s (1988) concept of the cultural unconscious, the author posits that current social developments among youth are attempting to bring gender expansiveness more into collective consciousness. This issue has occasioned a strong counterreaction with panicked appeals to upholding traditional gender norms and needing restrictions on gender-affirming care. Examples from myth, literature and clinical practice help to contextualize the intense emotions aroused by gender diversity. A case example shows how gender fantasies are worked through within an empathic analytic relationship. The author makes an appeal for updating and humanizing older psychological theories that have relied heavily on splits, polarities, and oppositions, all of which are more characteristic of a 20<sup>th</sup> century way of thinking about the psyche. A potential approach to incorporate gender expansiveness is through a model of the psyche as a mosaic.</p><p>Cet article explore le concept d'expansivité du genre.
