NUOVO
NUMERO DELLA RIVISTA SU
"VITALITA' E PSICOANALISI"
è
on-line l'ultimo numero di Frenis Zero (n.30, giugno 2018) che
riguarda il tema
"VITALITA' E PSICOANALISI". Gli articoli sono
già on-line e
il
sommario è all'indirizzo: http://web.tiscali.it/freniszero
Dopo
l'articolo di Claudio Neri ""ASPETTI VITALI DELLA
VERGOGNA" vogliamo esplorare questo concetto, così poco
frequentato dalla psicoanalisi, salvo nella formulazione di
Daniel Stern (il cui libro "Le forme vitali" è
paradigmatico), grazie ad alcuni contributi in inglese (di
prossima traduzione italiana) come quello di Trevarthen e coll."Autismo
come
disturbo dello sviluppo nel movimento intenzionale e nel
coinvolgimento affettivo" e di Rizzolatti e coll.
"Forme della vitalità ad elaborazione nell'insula
durante l'osservazione delle azioni", e in italiano:
oltre alla video-recensione di Giuseppe Leo del film "Hannah",
anche la recensione di Giuseppe Riefolo del film "Un
amore sopra le righe".

We
are glad to announce the issue of the last book published
in English by Edizioni Frenis Zero:"INFANT RESEARCH
AND PSYCHOANALYSIS" edited by Giuseppe Leo,
writings by Beatrice Beebe, Karlen Lyons-Ruth, Jeremy P.
Nahum, Elisabet Solheim, Colwyn Trevarthen, Edward Z.
Tronick, Lauriane Vulliez-Coady. Collection "Borders
of Psychoanalysis", Frenis Zero publisher, Lecce
2018, pp.273.
This
book has the hard task to cover an interdisciplinary
area in which psychoanalysis has to deal with infant
research. The development of infant research
methodologies is illustrated in the present book by the
contribution written by Beatrice Beebe, whose
‘journey’ leads us through the ‘creating’ of a
discipline with its creators, her traveling companions,
such as Daniel Stern, Frank Lachmann, Joseph Jaffe and
many others. Trevarthen’s chapter is a discussion of
his work with T. Berry Brazelton, passed away on March
2018. Brazelton used his trust and enjoyment of innocent
company to greet a newborn infant as a friend, and he
showed that the baby is read to share friendship with
mother and father, giving them joy. Brazelton’s belief
in innate human nature transformed pediatric care and
early diagnosis of developmental disorders, guiding
treatment, not ‘of’ the baby, but ‘with’ him/her
as an individual with unique expressions of vitality.
The last two chapters, instead, deal with clinical
implications of infant research. Tronick’s
contribution focuses on mother-infant dyad as well as on
analyst-patient one, conceived as open dynamic systems,
capable of meaning making, in which coherence is at best
imperfect, and coordination alternates with mismatching.
In open dynamic systems messiness itself is inherent to
the process of meaning making because of limitations in
their capacity, «their different time scales, the many
polymorphs of meaning that have to be integrated, and
because of the many kinds of meaning making processes»
(including affective, cognitive, memorial, linguistic,
bodily and psychodynamic meaning making processes, such
as a dynamic unconscious, projective identification and
transference). «Dyadic states of consciousness»
Tronick writes in the chapter «are joint creations and,
as such, bring together the messy, unpredictable and
inchoate features of two individuals’ state of
consciousness, not just the messiness of one». But
meaning meaning processes and security making ones,
though normally overlapping each other, are not the same,
and this heterogeneity between motivational systems (Lichtenberg
et al., 2011) can cover the heterogeneity of
psychopathological conditions. Lyons-Ruth and
colleagues’ chapter is focused on the representational
world of the mother, particularly on the assessment of
mother’s representation of role-confusion in her
relation with her child. The authors call attention to
the dimension of sexualisation in the relationship, a
high indicator of role-confusion. This emerging body of
work points to the importance of being alert to
indicators of role-confusion in the clinical setting.
The findings can inform and enrich counselling and
psychology practice by familiarizing clinicians with how
to listen for indicators of role-confusion while talking
with parents about their relationship with the child.

Book "FUNDAMENTALISM
AND PSYCHOANALYSIS", Giuseppe Leo (Editor),
Prefaced by Vamik D. Volkan, writings by Lene Auestad,
Werner Bohleber, Sverre Varvin, Linden West. Collection "Mediterranean
Id-entities", Frenis Zero publisher, Lecce 2017,
pp.214.
The
collection “Mediterranean Id-entities” is devoted to
publish books in order to investigate the role of
Mediterranean cultures from a psychoanalytic point of
view, in front of the anthropological transformations
concerning human societies and social institutions in
the contemporary world. This book has the hard task to
cover an interdisciplinary area in which psychoanalysis
has to deal with fundamentalism as a social phenomenon
and therefore with ‘bordering’ disciplines (such as
religion history, transcultural studies, cultural
anthropology) often with epistemologies that for origin
and history appear to be incomparable to it. Lene
Auestad intends to integrate the psychological analysis
of the subject with its social embedding. She
investigates the importance of the social unconscious
and its effects on the prejudiced intentions of the
individual apart from its own active interpretations.
She highlights the importance the psychoanalytical
approach provides in understanding the unspoken,
unconscious contents of the social phenomena and how
much the socially critical approach is able to enrich
the analytical view which merely focuses on the subject
regarding the effects of the social consensus. While
Auestad’s scrutiny aims at the social convention’s
role as an agent affecting the individual’s deeds and
thinking, Linden West’s contribution draws on
‘psycho-social’ understandings, combining
psychoanalysis and critical theory, as well as the work
of John Dewey, to interrogate Islamic fundamentalist
groups in a post-industrial city. It explores processes
of self-recognition in groups and paranoid-schizoid
modes of functioning, in which unwanted parts of self
and of culture are split off and projected on to the
other. The world is correspondingly divided into good
and bad, pure and impure. John Dewey makes a crucial
distinction between processes of democratic education
and closed groups, which is what fundamentalist groups
are, by reference to the quality of relationship to the
other, and to experiential and narrative openness.
However, it is also suggested that fundamentalism is
ordinary, in that each of us can feel out of our depth,
at times, and we may grab at ideas promising truth and
nothing but the truth, which is ultimately illusion.
Except not everyone reaches for a Kalashnikov, which is
where individual biographies matter for subtler
understanding of difference within commonalities.
Fundamentalism has increasingly become a part of the
political discourse in Western countries and is to a
large degree associated with Islamic Jihadism.
Fundamentalism has, however, been a concern in all
religions, and Werner Bohleber in this book discusses
its connections with violence in monotheistic religions.
Fundamentalism is also a concern in professional
organisations and in this book Sverre Varvin discusses
the relation between fundaments for a science and
fundamentalism in psychoanalysis. This is related to
general trends of fundamentalism in religious and
political contexts. A central question is how adherence
to fundamentals, understood at basic principles for a
profession or a religious-political movement, may
develop into fundamentalism and how this may develop
into more violent forms. Psychoanalytic understanding of
mass psychology and unconscious processes at group
levels are developed in this book by each of the
outstanding authors in order to understand present
Islamic and other forms of fundamentalist movements in
the European context.
4) "NEUROSCIENCE
AND PSYCHOANALYSIS", G. Leo (ed.), prefaced by
Georg Northoff, writings by David Mann, Allan N.
Schore, Robert Stickgold, Bessel A. Van Der Kolk,
Grigoris Vaslamatzis, Matthew P. Walker, Collection
"Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience", Frenis Zero
Publisher, Lecce 2014, pp.300, € 49,00.
The
book gathers some papers concerning the dialogue between
neuroscience and psychoanalysis. Following the
Introduction written by Georg Northoff, concerning the
possibility of overcoming the highly impasse generating
contraposition between localizationism and holism, G.
Vaslamatzis deals with a “Framework for a new dialogue
between psychoanalysis and neurosciences”. In this
chapter the author describes three points of
epistemological congruence: firstly, dualism is no
longer a satisfactory solution; secondly, cautions for
the centrality of interpretation (hermeneutics); and,
thirdly, the self-criticism of neuroscientists. David
W.Mann in his contribution “The mirror crack’d:
dissociation and reflexivity in self and group phenomena”
tries to show how reflexive processes generate each of
three levels of the human system (self, relationships,
group) and integrate them one to another, while
dissociative processes tend throughout to pull them
apart. Health and illness within the self, the
relationship and the group can be understood as special
states of the dynamic equilibria between these cohesive
and dispersive trends. In “Sleep, memory and
plasticity” Matthew P. Walker and Robert Stickgold
outline a review of the researches following the
discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM)
sleep, and specifically of those that began testing the
hypothesis that sleep, or even specific stages of sleep,
actively participated in the process of memory
development. The last two chapters, “Clinical
implications of neuroscience research in PTSD” by
Bessel A. Van Der Kolk, and “Dysregulation of the
right brain: a fundamental mechanism of traumatic
attachment and the psychopathogenesis of PTSD” by
Allan N. Schore, demonstrate how the psychopathology of
traumatic conditions can be a fertile field of dialogue
between neuroscience and psychoanalysis.

Claustro-agoraphobic
anxieties
are
rooted
in
unconscious
phantasies
about
the
maternal
body.
Henri
Rey
named
the
claustro-agoraphobic
syndrome
in
which
its
sufferers
feel
trapped
when
involved
in
a
relationship,
desperate
to
escape,
then
terrified
once
free
of
it,
seeking
retreat
to
the
illusory
security
of
the
primal
home
-
in
phantasy,
the
mother's
body.
The
presenter
will
discuss
some
early
and
little-recognized
contributions
of
Bertram
D.
Lewin
that
may
be
applied
to
Rey's
ideas
within
the
context
of
a
claustro-agoraphobic
patient.
She
will
further
discuss
three
dreams
to
demonstrate
how
Lewin's
oral
triad
of
wishes:
'to
eat,
to
be
eaten
and
to
sleep'
relates
to
these
phobias
and
to
Rey's
concept.
Looking
closely
at
Shakespeare's Romeo
and
Juliet and King
Lear ,
and
guided
by
both
Aristotle
and
Freud,
Dr.
Schwaber
will
explore
the
special
appeal
of
tragedy
as
a
literary
form, the ways
verbal
art
imitates
significant
human
action
and
the
illuminating
experience
it
enables.
