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:"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.

Psychoanalysis
has always had to reckon with the epistemology of the
witnessing of the analysand, but perhaps it has only
recently been reckoning with the discourse of the ethics
of testimony. And who are the people who have answeredto testify in this book dedicated to the places
of the memory of ‘Mediterranean civilisations and
their discontents’? What many of the authors in it
seem to have in common is the attention to the traumatic
nature of certain places of the memory: theatres of wars,
such as the wars in the Balkans (Janigro), or lines in
the diary of a father, who miraculously survived
genocide (J. Altounian). As Bohleber writes,
psychoanalysis began as a theory of trauma. In this
book, the places of the memory are often the rooms of
analysis, places of re-evocation of collective traumas.
In some cases, the victims of collective traumas,
undergone in the home Mediterranean countries, take
their dramas of migrants and refugees to analysts in the
North of Europe (as in the case of Varvin and
Papadopoulos). In other pieces, neither the geographicalorigin
of the analysand nor that of the analyst have apparently
any connection with the Mediterranean. We are referring
to the essay by Ritter and that of Halberstadt-Freud:
however, in them, the consulting rooms are places of the
memory in which the analyst reflects on the subject of
trans-generational transmission of collective guilt
connected with Nazism and with the Shoah, which also
affected the history of Mediterranean countries. In
other contributions in this book, the places of the
memory are those of the Middle East caught up in the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. From different points of
view, three authors, Gampel, Deutsch and Wirth, speak to
us of places of the memory where the collective traumas
have not been assigned once and for all to the work of
historians (as in the case of the Shoah and of the other
genocides of the 20th
century)
as, unfortunately, they are still on-going.
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.

CHAIR: ANNA MARIA LOIACONO, Ph.D
THE XX IFPS FORUM PRESENTS:
THE NEW
FACES OF FEAR.
TRANSFORMATIONS IN SOCIETY AND IN PSYCHOANALYTIC
PRACTICE THE FORUM
WILL EXPLORE HOW ANALYTS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO AN
UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLE OF FEAR IN SOCIETY TODAY.
CALL FOR PAPERS WILL BE POSTED
IN THE SUMMER OF 2017 INFO:www.ifps.info
What means being afraid nowadays?
What do we fear about? And how? How psychoanalysis can
manage these new forms?
This conference will explore how we, as analysts, can
contribute to an understanding of the role of fear in
society today.
The subject can hold many approaches and many aspects.
Not only the radical social transformation we are
faced with, with all the reverberations of this on
each mind, but also the crash of any kind of certainty,
from the social to the individual one. And also
psychoanalysis is paying a sort of incapacity of
staying close to this epochal change.
The topic will offer many psychoanalytic
considerations because it includes social problems, as
immigration, but it puts into a primary evidence the
change of our minds, the change of our emotions, of
our feelings, the change of our dreams, when time, and
the future, are so uncertain paradigms... How do
we dream nowadays?
As analysts, we explore the conscious and unconscious
sources of fear, in our patients and ourselves. We
have been trained to pay careful attention to shifts
in fear intensities, as expressed verbally and
nonverbally, in thoughts, tones, dreams, moods,
behaviors, and other forms. As uncertainties
escalate, so does fear, in some circumstances.
What can make us afraid of the unknown "other,"
rather than curious? What can we learn from our
own reactions to the uncertainties we face in our
practices, and in other walks of life?

This
presentation
spans
forty
years
of
study
and
assumes
that
psychoanalysts
should
not
base
their
understanding
of
trauma
exclusively
on
the events that
trigger
the
traumatic
process
since
there
are
an
infinite
variety
in
the
ways
individuals
assimilate
a
wide
range
of
traumatic
events.
Some
victims
never
recover
and
are
simply
not
suitable
for
analytic
treatment:
The
events
truly
dominate
their
lives.
However,
the
clinical
insights
analysts
have
gained
over
the
years
does
make
it
possible
to
help
those
individuals
who
have
the
capacity
to
benefit
from
psychoanalysis.
Winnicott's
assessment
of
the
close
relation
between
cumulative
trauma omnipotence is
explored.
Analysts
who
emphasize
the
victimization
of
traumatized
individuals
may
find
themselves
subject
to
a
confusion
of
tongues
and
unprepared
for
the
resistance
they
encounter
when
they
work
clinically
from
a
tacit
assumption
of
omnipotent
triumph.
The
use
of identification as
a
sufficient
explanation
for
the
transgenerational
transmission
of
trauma
is
questioned,
and
the
difference
between
the
experience
of
trauma
and
the
memories
of
it
over
time
is
clarified.
During
the
damaging
experience
there
is
a
specific
ego
organization
that
is
geared
toward
external
reality
and
effective
action.
Subjectivity
has
no
role
here,
in
other
words,
the
subject
is
absent.
This
ego
state
should
not
be
confused
with
the
work
of
integration,
dreaming,
and
fantasy. Time is
an
important
factor.
Analysts
should
take
all
elements
of
human
experience
into
consideration
when
trying
to
understand
their
patients.
This
includes
the
role
of
the
impact
of
the
senses
that
is
neglected
when
analysis
privileges
the
unconscious.
In
this
connection
it
is
important
to
remember
that,
in
the Interpretation
of
Dreams, Freud
relied
on
the
events
of
the
day
before
to
penetrate
the
dream's
meaning.
The
material
to
be
discussed
is
drawn
from
a
book
that
will
be
available
in
December
2018.

NYPSI
Extension
Course:
Regulation-Focused
Psychotherapy
for
Children
with
Externalizing
Behaviors:
A
Psychodynamic
Approach
In
this
course, which
is
geared
to
mental
health
practitioners
working
with
children
and
families, the
instructors
will
describe
the
essence
of
the Manual
of
Regulation-Focused
Psychotherapy
for
Children
(RFP-C)
with
Externalizing
Behaviors, which
is
the
first
handbook
of
its
kind
to
provide
a
manualized,
short-term
dynamic
approach
to
the
externalizing
behaviors
of
childhood,
offering
organizing
framework
and
detailed
descriptions
of
the
processes
involved
in RFP-C.
This
approach
includes
how
the
clinician
works
to
understand
the
meaning
of
the
child's
maladaptive
disruptive
behavior.
The
treatment
does
not
focus
on
teaching
the
child
proper
behavior
or
on
teaching
the
parents
management
techniques.
Instead,
the
therapist
communicates
to
the
child
that
there
is
meaning
to
the
behavior
and
that
it
may
feel
safer
to
act
up
than
feel
painful
emotions,
such
as
sadness,
shame,
guilt, or loss.
The
child's
defensive
maneuvers
to
avoid
painful
affects
and
the
transference
and
countertransference
issues
are
addressed.
Moreover,
any
child
treatment
necessarily
includes
an
active
parenting
component.
In
our
manual
we
help
parents
to
understand
the
meaning
of
their
children's
behavior
and
how
to
approach
their
children
in
more
effective
ways.
We
help
parents
achieve
greater
understanding
of
their
child
as
an
individual
with
needs,
worries,
and
responses
to
stress
in
their
lives.

Psychoanalysis in the Digital
Age: A Panel Discussion
Gillian
Isaacs Russell, PhD; Todd Essig,
PhD; David Goldenberg, MD
Digital technology has
created powerful methods of
communication that were
previously unimaginable in any
setting, let alone a
psychoanalytic treatment. Many
clinicians have embraced these
technological advances for
their convenience and promise
of facilitating long distance
treatment, or even local
treatment conducted outside
the office setting. And many
patients are comfortable with
distance treatment, or express
a preference for it,
especially younger patients
who experience technology as integral
to who they are. While
there are advantages to using
technology for psychoanalytic
(or some mode of psychodynamic)
treatment, there are also many
problems with its use. This
panel will address these
advantages and problems and
consider, among others, the
following questions:
What
are the limitations of the
use of technology in
psychoanalytic treatment?
How
is communication hindered,
or facilitated, by digital
technology?
What
does it mean to be in the
presence of another person?
Are
there differences in the
ways patients of different
ages and levels of
technological expertise can
benefit from an online
psychoanalysis?

In
1976,
Gail
Wyatt,
Ph.D.,
of
UCLA,
brought
together
Drs.
Ralph
Greenson
and
Ellis
Toney,
former
analyst
and
analysand,
respectively,
to
discuss
the
psychoanalytic
work
they
had
completed
together
more
than
25
years
before,
when
Dr.
Toney
was
a
candidate
at
the
Los
Angeles
Psychoanalytic
Institute.
Dr.
Greenson
was
white
and
Dr.
Toney
was
black,
making
theirs
one
of
the
earliest
cross-racial
training
analyses,
and
the
racial
issues
that
this
analytic
dyad
encountered
were
of
their
time,
yet
would
persist
into
our
present
moment.
This
unique,
archival
footage
of
a
panel
presentation
between
the
two
offers
an
all-too-relevant
glimpse
into
the
challenges
psychoanalysts
may
encounter
as
they
try
to
address
issues
of
race
with
their
patients
and
with
each
other.
The
screening
will
be
introduced
by
Anton
Hart,
Ph.D.,
a
member
of
the
NYPSI
Faculty,
who
will
provide
orientation
to
the
video.
After
the
54-minute
screening,
Dr.
Hart
will
engage
audience
members
in
reflective
discussion
of
what
they
have
seen.
2
CME/CE

will
be
offered.

City
Speaking
from a
theoretical
perspective,
Friday
evening's
panelists
will
consider the
relation
between
artistic
creativity
and
psychoanalytic
treatment,
the
significance
(if any) of
the high
incidence of
affective
disorders
among
literary and
visual
artists, the
paradigm of
art as
reparation
of early
object
relations,
and the like.
The
relevance of
Freud's
notion of
sublimation
to more
recent
explanations
of the
intra- and
inter-psychic
valuations
of
imaginative
expression
and the
relationship
of
imagination
to the self,
to
mechanisms
of defense
and agency,
will be
explored.
Saturday
morning's
session will
be devoted
to a
discussion
with
literary and
visual
artists on
the notion
of art as
play, the
neurobiological
aims of that
instinct in
the making
of meaning,
the relation
of id and
ego function
to
unconscious
fantasy and
its
expression
in art, and
how artistic
expression
bears upon
our
neuroscientific
understanding
of pleasure
and reward.
A plenary
session by
Nobel
Laureate
Eric Kandel
will be
offered in
the
afternoon to
be followed
by a wrap-up
Q & A
with all
participants.
