Based on data from interviews and from the Rorschach test distributed among female drug addicts, the study highlights how psychodynamic upheavals induced by pregnancy make it possible to revive the psychic deadlock at play in drug addiction. These observations are consistent with the results of existing literature, which have found that psychoanalytic aspects in pregnancy can transform drug addiction problems. However, our study underscores that these results are neither linear, nor do they hold true for all women. Moreover, this transformation remains highly fragile.","PeriodicalId":86547,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalysis and the psychoanalytic review","volume":"109 1","pages":"669-698"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72860974","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 paper reports on a series of semistructured interviews with five males, each living with HIV and an animal companion in Australia. The human–animal relationship is examined through a psychoanalytic lens with a focus on projection, projective identification, and death anxiety. The reports show a complex interplay among attachment to a companion animal; projection of thoughts, feelings, and emotions onto, and into, that animal; and feelings of death anxiety. It is suggested that companion animals may provide a depository for feelings of death anxiety as well as a buffer to suicidal ideation. Therapists should be aware of, support and validate the important and varied roles that companion animals may play in the lives of their humans.","PeriodicalId":86547,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalysis and the psychoanalytic review","volume":"6 1","pages":"699-718"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84357877","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}

Today, we can speak about a different delusional structure that chooses digital objects for its manifestation. While Tausk's influencing machine largely controls the mind and body with little experience of agency by the passive ego as a subject, today's smart digital machines have become an external part of the mind. Yet the delusion of the influencing machine is much more ubiquitous and nuanced than what Tausk presented, and is not restricted to the schizophrenic or psychotic. It may be even seen as simply the manifest content of an unconscious phantasy that universally inhabits our psychic space, taking different forms depending on the culture of the time and the type of psychopathology. We present a detailed clinical vignette of a young college student whose fear of breakdown and the loss of...","PeriodicalId":86547,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalysis and the psychoanalytic review","volume":"16 1","pages":"643-668"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80680341","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 author suggests, using data unearthed primarily over the past twenty-five years and with reference to Caruth's work on trauma theory, that the psychoanalytic exploration of trauma itself followed a traumatic course and therefore also needed a double, belated emergence to find a “voice” and hearing. This traumatic course had its stormy inception in the early period of psychoanalysis. The work of Sandor Ferenczi, especially in his last years, brought to the fore the crucial importance of actual childhood trauma and its impact on personality and on the analytic treatment. These claims were a daring contradiction of Freud's view that memories of sexual abuse are based on instinct-driven fantasies. Furthermore, Ferenczi investigated daring therapeutic methods for coping with the reliving of traumatic overstimulation, terror, and dissociation in treatment, with the analyst serving as an important r...","PeriodicalId":86547,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalysis and the psychoanalytic review","volume":"32 1","pages":"619-642"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72699498","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 paper examines the creative process of architecture in which the space between an existing problem and a physical, occupiable building is bridged. I follow the story of Daedalus, the mythic first architect, and suggest that the architect's creativity depends on the ability to utilize multiple modalities of the human mind and body and to allow them to converse with one another in what Philip Bromberg called a moment of “standing in the spaces.” I use the notion of sublimation to reestablish the place of the body in the artistic process and to remind us that the physical and the psychic are intertwined, jointly participating in the creative process. I conclude by demonstrating the participation of inner and outer selves—minds and bodies—in my design process for the Czech National Library International Competition.","PeriodicalId":86547,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalysis and the psychoanalytic review","volume":"27 1","pages":"593-617"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83135937","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}
