Emotion dysregulation as cross-disorder trait in child psychiatry predicting quality of life and required treatment duration
Authors: Bierens Margreet , Hartman Catharina A. , Klip Helen , Deckers Stijn , Buitelaar Jan , Rommelse Nanda
Published: July 2023

Background

Emotion dysregulation (ED) is increasingly under investigation as a cross-disorder trait, and is by some considered as the core feature in mental disorders. The aims of this study were to scrutinize the overlapping and distinct characteristics of ED for internalizing, externalizing and neurodevelopmental disorders and to identify the most pertinent ED characteristics to guide clinicians in treatment choice.

Methods

Information on clinical diagnosis (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder/Conduct Disorder, Anxiety and Mood Disorders), ED (measured by the CBCL-Emotion Dysregulation Index), Quality of Life (Qol, measured by the Kidscreen-27), and treatment duration (measured by Electronic Health Records) was retrieved from two large samples of toddlers (1.5–5  year old; N = 1,544) and school aged children (6–18 year old; N = 7,259). Frequency scores and logistic regression were used to study symptom profiles of ED, as measured with CBCL-EDI, across all disorders. Linear regression was used to determine the predictive value of ED (CBCL-EDI total score) regarding QoL and treatment duration in addition to—and in interaction with—clinical diagnosis.

Results

Across disorders, equal levels of total ED were found, which predicted lower QoL and a longer treatment duration in addition to clinical diagnosis. The majority of items (11/15 and 16/18) were of equal relevance to the disorders; items that were not, largely reflected disorder specific DSM definitions (i.e., externalizing symptoms in ODD/CD and internalizing symptoms in Anxiety and Mood disorders).

Conclusion

ED is a clinically useful cross-disorder trait to predict severity of impairment as well as required treatment duration. In addition, ED is largely composed of shared features across disorders, with certain disorder specific colored elements.
How has the Olympic legacy transformed the heart of East London? Understanding socio-economic exclusions and disproportionate COVID-19 impact on minoritised communities through a rights-based perspective
Authors: Islam Farjana
Published: July 2023

This research paper explores the experience of British-Bangladeshi and Black African Caribbean communities living in the areas surrounding London's Olympic Park, in terms of how they are appropriating the legacy-led socio-spatial changes, applying Lefebvre's right to the city perspective. Highlighting the top-down legacy-led regeneration process, the empirical evidence suggests that the games-led regeneration is contributing to an unjust trade-off between pre-existing minoritised ethnic residents and wealthier gentrifiers, ignoring the real needs of the socially and economically disadvantaged ethnic minority communities in East London. The findings provide a further understanding of factors such as housing and health-related inequalities and sub-standard living conditions, which may have contributed to the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the Bangladeshi and African Caribbean people living in East London boroughs. Given the scale of the pandemic, the paper argues that a greater understanding of the socio-structural problems and barriers arising out of poverty and deprivation is needed in order to formulate appropriate policy interventions to reduce disproportionate social, economic and health-related impacts on some minoritised communities, which could be achieved through residents' active participation and appropriation at different stages of the legacy-led regeneration process.

COMPARISON OF RELIABILITY COEFFICIENTS OF TESTS CONSTRUCTED USING DIFFERENT ORDERINGS OF DIFFICULTY OF TEST ITEMS
Authors: Zakka Kaku , O. Okoye Romy
Published: July 2023

The study compared reliability coefficients of tests constructed using different orderings of difficulties of test items for English language and Mathematics in the North-East, Nigeria. Experimental research design was adopted. The population of the study comprised all the 5,403 JSS 3 students of 2021/2022 academic session in the fifteen Unity schools of the zone. The sample used for experimental study consisted of three hundred and seventy-five students obtained through a combination of multi-stage and cluster sampling techniques. Two instruments (one for each of the subjects) were used for the study. Each instrument was prepared in three different formats, titled: Mathematic Achievement Test and English Language Achievement Test. Each format of the instruments was subjected to test-retest reliability. Method of data analysis was Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient (PPMC). The reliability estimate that were obtained from the mathematics multiple-choice questions are as follows: FORMAT ETD (0.512), DTE (0.849) and MDI (0.718). The reliability estimate that were obtained from the English language multiple-choice questions are as follows: FORMAT ETD ETD (0.728), DTE (0.669) and MDI (0.877). The study recommends that for English Language, items ordered from easy to difficult format should be used when constructing test items; since it was the one that had the highest reliability coefficient; for Mathematics items format from difficulty to easy should be used since it has the highest reliability coefficient among the test items format.
The Concept of Health Care Ethics among the Larteh of Ghana: Implications for Medical Practice in Ghana
Authors: Hackman-Aidoo Alexander , Kudzedzi Constantine
Published: July 2023

This research analysed traditional healthcare ethics as perceived by the people of Larteh in Ghana. It is an ethnographic research that studied narratives of health care ethics and analysed their contents. The research attempted to extrapolate unique elements of what might be called the Larteh traditional system of health care ethics, showing their significance for health care in public and private health care centres and hospitals in Ghana. Thus using an ethno-medical approach, generally within the scope of Gyekye’s theory of communalism and Bertalanffy’s general systems theory, the paper argued that though some of the ethical ideas contained in the narratives constitute fragments of ethical behaviour among healers, they largely reflected ethics of health care practice known to Western or Orthodox medical practice such as confidentiality, professionalism, limited non-maleficence and paternalism. Nonetheless, other elements could provide important lessons for improving the care of patients in Ghana. The paper concluded that Larteh’s traditional ideas of health care provide ethical principles that not only preserve the dignity of the patient but also teach principles that can contribute to the development of health care generally. The significance of this paper is in its ability to provide a framework for interpreting traditional healthcare ethics.

Classification of spacelike conformal Einstein hypersurfaces in Lorentzian space $ \mathbb{R}^{n+1}_1 $
Authors: Chen Yayun , Li Tongzhu
Published: July 2023

Let $ f: M^n\to \mathbb{R}^{n+1}_1 $ be an $ n $-dimensional umbilic-free spacelike hypersurface in the $ (n+1) $-dimensional Lorentzian space $ \mathbb{R}^{n+1}_1 $ with an induced metric $ I $. Let $ II $ be the second fundamental form and $ H $ the mean curvature of $ f $. One can define the conformal metric $ g = \frac{n}{n-1}(\|II\|^2-nH^2)I $ on $ f(M^n) $, which is invariant under the conformal transformation group of $ \mathbb{R}^{n+1}_1 $. If the Ricci curvature of $ g $ is constant, then the spacelike hypersurface $ f $ is called a conformal Einstein hypersurface. In this paper, we completely classify the $ n $-dimensional spacelike conformal Einstein hypersurfaces up to a conformal transformation of $ \mathbb{R}^{n+1}_1 $.

Published: July 2023

Obstructive jaundice (OJ) is a common problem in daily clinical practice. However, completely understanding the pathophysiological changes in OJ remains a challenge for planning current and future management. The effects of OJ are widespread, affecting the biliary tree, hepatic cells, liver function, and causing systemic complications. The lack of bile in the intestine, destruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and increased absorption of endotoxins can lead to endotoxemia, production of proinflammatory cytokines, and induce systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ultimately leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Proper management of OJ includes adequate water supply and electrolyte replacement, nutritional support, preventive antibiotics, pain relief, and itching relief. The surgical treatment of OJ depends on the cause, location, and severity of the obstruction. Biliary drainage, surgery, and endoscopic intervention are potential treatment options depending on the patient's condition. In addition to modern medical treatments, Traditional Chinese medicine may offer therapeutic benefits for OJ. A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed for relevant articles published up to August 1970. This review discusses in detail the pathophysiological changes associated with OJ and presents effective strategies for managing the condition.
Dátovo-orientovaný prístup na zníženie vlhkosti v pamiatkových budovách

Published: July 2023

Dnes sa v praxi používa viacero metód merania zameraných na identifikáciu úrovne vlhkosti stavebných konštrukcií. Namerané dáta je možné prepojiť s informačným modelom stavby, výsledkom čoho bude usporiadaná databáza, čo umožní nielen lepšie a komplexnejšie vyhodnocovanie, ale umožní automatizáciu vyhodnocovania s využitím umelej inteligencie. Problémom je najmä absencia informačných modelov stavby, ktoré obzvlášť pri historických objektoch nie sú k dispozícii. V tomto článku sa zameriavame na vytvorenie metodiky pre systematický zber údajov o vlhkostných pomeroch v konštrukciách pamiatkových objektov, ktorá bude podkladom pre návrh vhodných opatrení na úpravu. Prvým krokom je digitalizácia stavby prostredníctvom fotogrametrie, prípadne terestrického laserového skenovania. Druhým krokom je vytvorenie informačného modelu stavby. Posledným krokom je prepojenie informácií z merania s informačným modelom stavby. Obohatenie BIM o dátový súbor vlhkostných záznamov z rôznych budov môže výrazne prispieť lepšiemu pochopeniu miery zavlhnutia, identifikácii príčin a tiež napomôcť k výberu vhodných opatrení na základe navrhnutých opatrení v minulosti.

Protustavna i nezakonita privatizacija društvenog vlasništva (dionica HT) kao posljedica nezakonito provedene pretvorbe i privatizacije
Authors:   Vlada Republike Hrvatske, Hrvatska, Tabaković Sulejman , Božić Vanda
Published: July 2023

In the paper, the authors point out the illegally carried out transformation, privatization, and confiscation of contractual private ownership over “Hrvatski Telekom” (HT). Namely, until the 1990s, citizens financed the construction, through the PTT, TT network, node, local, long-distance, and main telephone exchanges. Proof of this are the Agreements on pooling funds for the construction, expansion, or reconstruction of telecommunications facilities with the company PTT (Post-Telegraph-Telephone), then HPT (Croatian Post and Telecommunications), and today HT (Hrvatski Telekom). Based on the contractual purchase and sale relationship, the citizens became the owners of ideal shares in the ownership of HT. The enactment of the Act on the Separation of Croatian Post and Telecommunications into Croatian Post and Croatian Telecommunications stipulates that the privatization of these companies will be carried out according to a special law. However, in the privatization process, citizens were deprived of their property, contrary to the Constitution and international documents.

Comércio, escravidão e conexões atlânticas: o caso de Pedro da Silva (Maranhão – Século XVIII)
Authors: Meireles Marinelma Costa , Araújo Patrício Câmara
Published: July 2023

O Novo Mundo que emergiu na modernidade é, antes de tudo, fruto de experiências vivenciadas pelas sociedades que se interligaram no/e através do Atlântico. Portugueses, africanos e “americanos” compartilharam práticas advindas da circulação de pessoas, mercadorias e significados. Esse mundo, composto e lapidado por diferentes culturas, trouxe à tona um ambiente permeado de impressões, subjetividades e experiências, sobrevindo do movimento, do ir e vir de pessoas, de uma margem a outra do oceano. A trajetória do forro Pedro da Silva, cabo-verdiano - que morou no reino e migrou para o Maranhão no século XVIII, e nessa localidade desejou se casar – é um espaço privilegiado para observarmos essas dinâmicas. Para alcançar o seu intento, ele precisava provar às autoridades vigilantes do Tribunal Eclesiástico do Maranhão que era viúvo.  A busca pela “justificação de viuvez” desvela a história desse sujeito em conexão com três espaços: África, Europa e América, tendo como pano de fundo a ação da Companhia Geral do Grão-Pará e Maranhão (1755), empreendimento mercantil responsável pelo comércio de africanos escravizados para o norte da América Portuguesa. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as conexões do Maranhão Colonial com o mundo atlântico, na segunda metade do século XVIII, tendo como fio condutor as experiências de Pedro da Silva. Para tanto, faremos abordagem qualitativa, de foco exploratório, por meio de pesquisa documental no campo da micro-história.

Published: July 2023

An experiment was conducted at ICAR - National Research Centre on Pomegranate during 2011-12 and 2012-13 on pomegranate (Punica granatum L) cv. Bhagwa plants. The experiment comprises of application of raw and well decomposed farmyard manure in the form of slurry (liquid form, manures mixed with water in 1:10 ratio and kept for 10 to 15 days with intermittent stirring) as a sole or in combination with micronutrients and/or various microbial inoculants. It was compared with normally practiced method of organic manure application in the soil. The results revealed that application of farmyard manure in slurry form decreased electrical conductivity (0.94 to 0.72 dS/m) and increased organic carbon content (0.55 to 1.45 %) in the soil. Combined application of FYM in the form of slurry along with micronutrients and microbial inoculants significantly increased available N (339.7 kg/ha) and P (34.8 kg/ha) and micronutrients content in the soil. Substantially increased plant height (20.8%), plant spread (22.8 %) and produced maximum number of fruits (39.0/ plant). Population of soil microbes, viz. Aspergillus niger, Pseudomonas fluorescence and potash solubilising organisms were significantly highest with the combined application of FYM in slurry form and microbial inoculants. While, Azotobacter population was more in raw FYM slurry along with microbial inoculants. It is recommended that on light textured soils, farmyard manures should be applied in the form of slurry. It reaches in the active root zone of the plants along with percolating water.

Paradigm-Based Evaluation for Eco-Just Systems Transformation
Authors: Parsons Beverly , Winters Katherine
Published: July 2023

Social and ecological systems shape the extent to which humans and the rest of nature live together in a state of well-being. In this article, we work with two intertwined paradigms (i.e., worldviews) that underlie our social and ecological systems. We describe these paradigms, their historical roots, and their differing connections to clusters of system science concepts. We then explain how we are using these paradigms and system science concepts as the basis of an evaluation design process to support systems transformation toward a just and ecologically healthy civilization. The connection of this evaluation orientation to the decolonization and Indigenization of our social and ecological systems is woven throughout the article.
Evaluation of Subjective Satisfaction with Orthokeratology: A Pilot Study
Authors: Rajeev Narayanan , Wu Titus , Low Jamie
Published: July 2023

Background: This study evaluates subjective satisfaction levels among Singapore-based OK lens wearers and investigates what motivated them to go for OK.

Methods: A customised survey form was administered. Participants’ perceptions were assessed along the dimensions of vision, facial appearance, satisfaction, activity, and symptoms. The participants also had to indicate what motivated them to go for OK. The remaining questions focussed on the participants’ demographics and OK related routines since the survey was designed to be a stand-alone questionnaire that is suitable for a specialised optometry setting.

Results: OK participants (n=100) demonstrated an overall positive experience across vision, facial appearance, satisfaction, and activity dimensions. Most participants either did not experience or only occasionally experienced the surveyed symptoms. Seeing clear throughout the day (71%), myopia control (70%), and convenience for school/occupation (65%) and sports (59%) were the most popular reasons why participants were on OK. Better appearance (36%), and discomfort with spectacles (34%) and contact lenses (11%) were the other motivating factors.

Conclusion: Orthokeratology is associated with high levels of satisfaction rate. Seeing clear throughout the day, myopia control and convenience for day-to-day activities are the key reasons why participants are on OK treatment. Optometrists, while ensuring rigorous compliance to lens care regimen and good adherence to routine follow-ups, may positively recommend orthokeratology not just for children for the purpose of myopia control but to potentially anyone, who wants to be free of day-time myopic refractive correction.

Estrategias cognitivas y metacognitivas para mejorar “reading comprehension”
Authors: Mera Francisco , Cepeda Katuska , Navarrete Magdalena , Gomez Jacqueline
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo fue el de establecer el uso de las Estrategias de Lectura en la Carrera profesional de Pedagogía del Idioma Inglés en la Universidad de Guayaquil para adquirir la competencia lectora en el nivel A2. Este trabajo utilizó la taxonomía de Oxford (2011) como marco teórico. El trabajo de investigación de campo se lo realizó mediante la aplicación de la Encuesta de Estrategias de Lectura y de un cuestionario de información demográfica para recolectar información particular de los estudiantes. Esta tesis se enfocó en los siguientes aspectos: a) El uso de estrategias cognitivas, b) el uso de Estrategias Metacognitivas c) un test de Lectura Comprensiva para determinar el nivel de competencia lectora en los estudiantes. La interpretación de los datos reveló que los estudiantes no utilizan suficientes Estrategias Cognitivas y Metacognitivas, tales como analizar y evaluar la información presentada en los textos mediante la paráfrasis o interpretación para alcanzar los niveles de lectura inferencial y crítico valorativo. De acuerdo a la Teoría Social Cognitiva (Bandura, 1989), si las Estrategias de Aprendizaje dirigidas hacia la lectura comprensiva no son practicadas con regularidad, no puede haber retención de las mismas. Este trabajo investigativo se lo realizó en una muestra de 100 estudiantes utilizando el método cuantitativo que determinó que los estudiantes solamente llegan al nivel literal de lectura, por lo que el uso de Estrategias de Lectura Cognitivas y Metacognitivas puede ayudarlos a alcanzar los niveles de logros académicos más altos. Complementariamente, se sugiere la aplicación de la instrucción explícita de Estrategias de Lectura Cognitivas y Metacognitivas en los estudiantes de la carrera profesional de Pedagogía del Inglés por su carácter interdisciplinario y de transferencia a otras áreas de la preparación preprofesional de los aprendices.

The only way to overcome this increasing volume of plastic waste is to reduce the amount of plastic waste from its source by encouraging millennials to care about the use of goods and services. The problem in this study is to explain how the role of sustainable living of the millennial generation in plastic waste management and how the current level of sustainable living of the millennial generation. This research uses a descriptive method to describe how millennials' sustainable living in reducing plastic waste. The results show that as a form of millennial generation participation in efforts to improve the environment, millennials have implemented sustainable living in their daily lives such as using tumblers, bringing their own shopping bags, sorting waste starting from their own home environment. The current millennial generation contributes to the practice of sustainable living doing these activities without being forced. They fall into the moderate category where they play a role in plastic waste management but still do not do it fully
síndrome do caçula
Authors: Doin Carlos
Published: July 2023

O título engloba características de personalidade e comportamento frequentes nos que nasceram por último na série de irmãos. Embora esses traços, em sua maioria, não sejam exclusivos dos caçulas, é neles que costumam se manifestar com maior nitidez e confluência, de modo a constituir um quadro mais ou menos típico, sujeito a variações decorrentes da dinâmica familiar e das disposições individuais. O reconhecimento de tais relativismos previne contra os estereótipos correntes a respeito dos caçulas. Em cada um deles existe uma mistura peculiar de características contraditórias, resultantes da interação de diferentes determinismos, propensões e defesas, aceitação e recusa de papéis familiares e sociais. Só nesses termos cabe entender a “síndrome do caçula” e tirar bom proveito de sua aplicação na clínica psicanalítica. Entre os inúmeros componentes da síndrome, sobressaem aqueles relativos ao narcisismo, à identidade e autoestima, ao desenvolvimento pessoal, à diversidade de relações e compromissos grupais, às culpas e necessidade inconsciente de castigo. O texto inclui citações de autores psicanalíticos e de áreas afins, bem como referências a vários caçulas e suas famílias, personagens bíblicos, literários, e personalidades dos nossos tempos, além de alguns analisandos.

Estamos de cara nova, mas não se trata de uma máscara nem mesmo de simples “repaginação”, palavra da moda. As mudanças do logotipo da Sociedade, da capa e da programação gráfica da Revista e do Jornal da Brasileira resultaram de uma reflexão a respeito de quem somos, de nossa identidade e do que fazemos. Reflexão essa captada e representada graficamente pela talentosa designer Paola Manica. [...]
subjetividade do analista nos labirintos da cura
Authors: Paim Filho Ignácio Alves
Published: July 2023

O autor tem como proposta pensar a subjetividade do analista e suas ressonâncias (interferências) no processo da cura. Para tanto, tomará como metáfora interlocutora a relação Jung–Sabina. Partindo desse encontro, com seus desencontros, retoma a importância do inconsciente do analista no desenrolar da análise. Nesse sentido, tece considerações sobre a análise do analista e sobre o seu papel como instrumento vital, para que a sua subjetividade possa ser potencializada e, com isso, seja possível facilitar a jornada empreendida pela dupla analítica nos labirintos da cura.
Como a psicanálise pode contribuir para a paz
Authors: Palhares Maria do Carmo Andrade
Published: July 2023

Por que a paz? Essa questão nos remete à contribuição humana que favorece o convívio entre os homens. Esse é o percurso deste trabalho: dos primórdios da vida até a finitude, a precariedade do homem nos lança num destino comum. O que pode inviabilizar o amor de si e o narcisismo social? Por meio de escritores, poetas e psicanalistas, busquei articular a intimidade humana e as relações compartilhadas, o singular e o universal. Nessa perspectiva, a questão da servidão voluntária enfocada por Etienne La Boétie serviu de eixo para falar da paz, da liberdade e da vida criativa pelo olhar psicanalítico.

Das unheimliche
Authors: Paim Filho Ignácio , Fleck Cibele , Sacchet Jeanete , Araújo Katya de A.
Published: July 2023

Em 1919, Freud encontrava-se com o texto de Hoffman “O homem de Areia” e nos apresentava Nataniel e Olimpia. A partir desse texto vai teorizar sobre Das Unheimliche, propondo uma estética psicanalítica centrada na qualidade do sentir, tendo como objeto de investigação não o belo, mas sim o horror. Em 2011, século XXI, nos deparamos com o filme “Coraline e o Mundo Secreto”, baseado no livro de mesmo nome, do autor britânico Neil Gaiman. Posta em cena a temática do infantil retratando as aventuras e desventuras da menina púbere e sua boneca de pano. Tomando essa produção cinematográfica como uma vinheta clínica, nos sentimos impelidos a repensar a contemporaneidade psicanalítica: invenção-tradição e a vitalidade do Estranho freudiano.
Tratando estados não-representados da mente
Authors: Albuquerque Marco Aurélio Crespo
Published: July 2023

Neste trabalho o autor aborda o impacto e o manejo da falta da subjetividade, dos afetos e da imaginação, problemas frequentes em alguns pacientes. Interroga como é possível fazer um tratamento psicanalítico na ausência desses aspectos fundamentais. Revisa o trabalho de alguns autores sobre o tema e as diferentes denominações utilizadas para esses pacientes. Constata que, apesar da vasta teoria sobre o tema, há poucas referências sobre as vicissitudes do tratamento ou sobre as mudanças necessárias na técnica. Através de um caso clínico, descreve a evolução desse processo, propõe uma técnica de abordagem, baseada na continência e no uso contínuo da contratransferência como ferramenta, e sugere um estilo mais ativo nas sessões. Também mostra os resultados obtidos até aqui com a paciente que descreve, relatando o que espera da continuidade desse tratamento. Por fim, conclui o estudo tecendo algumas considerações a respeito da compreensão dessas patologias e das mudanças necessárias na técnica clássica.

O impacto da tecnologia na pessoa do analista em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Hartmann Vera Elisabethe
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre a repercussão da Pandemia, provocada pelo Coronavírus, diretamente na pessoa do analista, principalmente no que tange à contratransferência. Consta de relatos de psicanalistas feitos em conferências e/ou depoimentos do Observatório Psicanalítico sobre o impacto da tecnologia com seus derivados no processo analítico que abruptamente exige a passagem ao modo virtual. Questiona sobre o aspecto traumático desse modelo, assim como o fato da simultaneidade da ameaça tanto na pessoa do paciente como na do analista e sugere, ainda, a revisão da técnica analítica.
Gargalhadas de sofrimento
Authors: Castros Aldina Cristina Sousa , Fraga Camila , Valente Loriama , Ferraz Luciana
Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é compartilhar a experiência vivenciada, como psicólogas e psicanalistas, ao assistir o filme Coringa. Trata-se uma película atual e muito impactante, que fala do mais profundo do ser humano: a sua constituição psíquica e a importância do ambiente nessa construção. Quem foi ao cinema esperando encontrar um filme comum de super-herói acabou se deparando com algo que nós, indivíduos e sociedade, muitas vezes não conseguimos enxergar, ou preferimos não enxergar, isto é, as consequências em maior ou menor grau do desamparo com o qual chegamos neste mundo ao nascer, e com o qual passamos a vida inteira sendo confrontados e convocados a dar conta. Escolher um único viés para falar sobre esse tema é desafiante diante das possibilidades que a história nos oferece, por isso optamos percorrer pelo possível fracasso da relação primitiva no desenvolvimento emocional primitivo, buscando na teoria de Donald Winnicott a sustentação para nossas reflexões.
Sonhos e histeria
Authors: Costa Gley P.
Published: July 2023

O trabalho procura estabelecer uma relação entre a etapa negativa do complexo de Édipo da menina com as fantasias de conteúdo homossexual, observadas nos sonhos de pacientes histéricas. Tendo em vista esse objetivo, inicialmente o autor faz uma revisão do material clínico apresentado por Freud em Fragmentos da análise de um caso de histeria, enfatizando os aspectos homossexuais do relacionamento de Dora com Frau K. Na segunda parte, descreve brevemente o desenvolvimento psicossexual da menina, evidenciando a fixação de pacientes histéricas na fase negativa (fálica) do complexo edípico. Na terceira parte, relata quatro sonhos de pacientes histéricas, cujos conteúdos revelam a existência de uma corrente homossexual inconsciente, em consonância com uma constelação edípica negativa, revelada pela transferência. Finalizando, tece alguns comentários sobre a etiologia da histeria, estabelecendo um vínculo entre o “caso Dora” e o artigo Sexualidade feminina, escritos por Freud em 1901 e 1931, respectivamente.
Associações livres e pensamento onírico de vigília
Authors: Ferro Antonino
Published: July 2023

O autor, inspirando-se nos conceitos sobre o funcionamento mental postulados por Bion, considera as associações livres como um “derivado narrativo” do pensamento onírico de vigília e as rêveries como um acesso direto às imagens deste pensamento onírico. O material clínico é utilizado para colocar em evidência como tais “derivados narrativos” podem ser utilizados pelo analista como sinalizações que continuamente o paciente fornece sobre o próprio funcionamento mental no interior do campo analítico, sinalizações que permitem ao analista modular sua atividade interpretativa de forma que esta seja fator de transformação, e não de perseguição.
trauma primordial na dialética do representável e do irrepresentável
Authors: Machado Ana Paula Terra , Paim Filho Ignácio Alves
Published: July 2023

De acordo com os textos freudianos sobre trauma e a noção de negatividade, os autores se propõem a pensar a gênese do irrepresentável a partir da idéia de um trauma primordial que será estruturante ou não estruturante do psiquismo. O trauma dito estruturante trilhará o caminho das representações e estará submetido ao recalcamento, enquanto o não estruturante permanece no inconsciente não recalcado, marcado pelo inominável. O destino do traumático está relacionado ao par expulsão-afirmação primordial que possibilitará a ação da negatividade. Quando esta não opera, as intensidades permanecem no núcleo do inconsciente sem possibilidade de representação. Essa hipótese das origens do irrepresentável é um caminho para a compreensão das patologias da contemporaneidade.
