Freud, as some may know, not only published in the International Journal, but also was its founding director and Joan Riviere, one of Freud's early translators into the English language, was also the ...Journal's first "translation editor". To resolve this paradox Riviere points to how Freud's scientific work was also an act of art; his discoveries of reality were fused with internal phantasy, and the creative product of this fusion is what accounts for his greatness. To appreciate Freud in our increasingly diverse contemporary analytic scene it is necessary to encounter him notas a relic oras part of an historical introduction, butas a living presence; one must come to know his ideas in the experiential way which, as Riviere describes, his writings allow for. ...as the role of the unconscious is increasingly put in question, as contemporary analytic practice and thinking on the status of our field tends to imply that we must either align ourselves with common empirical research and its methods or abandon the pursuit of truth altogether Riviere's text brings to life, through her writing, something of a specifically psychoanalytic alternative-the analytic approach to coming to know reality which she received from Freud.
When people see a life-sized virtual body (VB) from first person perspective in virtual reality they are likely to have the perceptual illusion that it is their body. Additionally such virtual ...embodiment can lead to changes in perception, implicit attitudes and behaviour based on attributes of the VB. To date the changes that have been studied are as a result of being embodied in a body representative of particular social groups (e.g., children and other race). In our experiment participants alternately switched between a VB closely resembling themselves where they described a personal problem, and a VB representing Dr Sigmund Freud, from which they offered themselves counselling. Here we show that when the counsellor resembles Freud participants improve their mood, compared to the counsellor being a self-representation. The improvement was greater when the Freud VB moved synchronously with the participant, compared to asynchronously. Synchronous VB movement was associated with a much stronger illusion of ownership over the Freud body. This suggests that this form of embodied perspective taking can lead to sufficient detachment from habitual ways of thinking about personal problems, so as to improve the outcome, and demonstrates the power of virtual body ownership to effect cognitive changes.
Contemporary social and political theory has reached an impasse about a problem that had once seemed straightforward: how can individuals make ethical judgments about power and politics? Crisis of ...Authority analyzes the practices that bind authority, trust and truthfulness in contemporary theory and politics. Drawing on newly available archival materials, Nancy Luxon locates two models for such practices in Sigmund Freud's writings on psychoanalytic technique and Michel Foucault's unpublished lectures on the ancient ethical practices of 'fearless speech', or parrhesia. Luxon argues that the dynamics provoked by the figures of psychoanalyst and truth-teller are central to this process. Her account offers a more supple understanding of the modern ethical subject and new insights into political authority and authorship.
Prezadas e prezados leitores, com imensa alegria publicamos o volume 25.1 da Revista Ágora - Estudos em Teoria Psicanalítica, comemorativo dos nossos 25 anos de dedicação à produção e divulgação de ...conhecimento comprometido com a comunidade acadêmica e com os problemas sociais desta época, os quais nos convocam à extensão das nossas práticas. A importância do outro na constituição dos sujeitos retorna ao debate, agora sob a forma da identificação, na discussão de Leonardo Danziato em Práticas do ato: considerações sobre as identificações nos quadros de violência autoinfligida. Psicanálise e clínica social, Fernanda Pacheco-Ferreira e Roberta de Oliveira Mendes alinhavam clínica e política ao tecer considerações sobre a intensificação dos desamparos, tanto nas esferas individuais como coletivas, cujo efeito no campo psicanalítico tem sido percebido a partir de um reposicionamento da psicanálise, que se coloca, para as autoras, mais sensível ao contexto social, disposta a sair dos consultórios para reencontrar seu lugar nos espaços públicos. Juan Pablo Sánchez Domínguez, Claudia Inés Campo e Lubia del Carmen Castillo Arcos procedem a uma análise de literatura sobre masculinidade hegemônica e sua interseção com a violência em casais gays no artigo Hegemonic masculinity and violence in gay couples: a psychoanalytic reading - Masculinidade hegemônica e violência em casais gays: uma leitura psicanalítica -, a fim de tornar evidente a construção histórica, social e cultural da masculinidade hegemônica. No artigo Subject and subjectivity: reflections on the relation between structure and history - Sujeito e subjetividade: reflexões sobre estrutura e história - Diego Tolini discute a oposição entre o sujeito e sua causação pela estrutura e pela linguagem, bem como a subjetividade e sua produção pelo poder e pela história a partir das obras de Nietzsche e Freud, em especial a concepção do poder evidenciada por eles.

What Neville Symington is attempting to do in this book is to trace the pathway along which he has travelled to become a person. This has run side by side with trying to become an analyst. The author ...has made landmark discoveries when reading philosophy, sociology, history, and literature. Learning to paint, learning to fly a plane, and also the study of art and of aviation theory have opened up new vistas. This account is only a sketch. The completed picture will never materialize. It is therefore autobiographical but only in a partial sense. It is always emphasized that one's own personal experience of being psychoanalysed is by far the most significant part of a psychoanalyst's education.
Ever since Freud proposed that certain ideas can be permitted to become conscious only in their inverted and negative forms, interest has grown into the entire realm of the presence of absence, so to ...speak. Or, perhaps, it is better to term such mental contents as the presence in the form of absence. These two ways of conceptualizing Freud's negation have led to a panoply of ideas that include negative hallucination, psychic holes, negative narcissism, selfishly motivated erasure of the Other, and the so-called "work of the negative". This volume elucidates these concepts and refines the distinction between Freud's negation and subsequently described mental mechanisms of denial, repudiation, isolation, and undoing. The book also provides contemporary perspectives on the developmental underpinnings of negation and the technical usefulness of the concept, including its implicit role in negative therapeutic reactions. A thought-provoking and conceptually illuminating volume.
O conceito de personalidade, central na tese de doutorado de Lacan (1932/1987), não recebe, segundo Dario de Negreiros, a devida clareza necessária à sua importância e complexidade, que, por ser ...nuclear na obra, deve ser analisado por meio de uma subdivisão em três partes, que se manifestam de formas diferentes e que são desenvolvidas ao longo do último artigo da Parte I. Através da apresentação de um caso clínico, Daniel Schor e Nelson Ernesto Coelho Júnior apontam a importância da maleabilidade do enquadre transferencial para tratar de impasses relativos a experiências não simbolizadas, conforme desenvolvimento de Winnicott (1945/1992)WINNICOTT, D. W. Primitive emotional development (1945). Partindo da discussão freudiana sobre “sentimento oceânico” (Freud,1929/2019FREUD, S. O mal-estar na cultura (1929). Seguindo a mesma direção - a de articular psicanálise e arte para uma leitura política -, Marta Regina de Leão D’Agord considera a cultura judaica do leste europeu e a perplexidade com o desmoronamento de um império, como fornecedoras do material para o humor kafkiano e para a teoria freudiana do humor (Freud, 1927FREUD, S. O humor (1927). FREUD, S. O mal-estar na cultura (1929). (Edição standard das obras psicológicas completas de Sigmund Freud, 10) FREUD, S. O humor (1927).
Over the centuries, many scholars from East and West, from diverse fields of specializations and research have contributed their ideas to explore the basics of human personality and its potentials. ...The debate of freewill vs determinism of behavior has been ongoing. The present study specifically, qualitatively, and contrastively analyzed the theorization of Muhammad Iqbal and Carl Rogers on self and forces having pivotal role in human nature development. The commonality of the emphasis that they both laid on ‘self' had instigated the researcher to compare and contrast their conceptualizations. For both, ‘self' is the most important component of human personality and their whole theorization revolved around this one concept. Iqbal developed his conceptualizations through intuition and contemplative thought process, carrying the influence of Islamic principles while Roger's theory came out of his clinical experiences. Both acknowledge positive human nature and share similar views on education and freewill of human beings however, differences in their conclusions can be attributed to the fact that Iqbal was a reformer whose solutions relate to society as whole while Rogers, being a psychotherapist, focused professionally on psychotherapy and process of personality change. The contrastive analysis also pointed to the fact that both Iqbal and Rogers have theorized their ideas on personality taking into consideration their contemporary society's demands and challenging conditions
This article aims to discuss the place of psychoanalytic research in the psychoanalytic field as well as at the university. Psychoanalysis constitutes in the dimension of research and reformulates ...continuously as evidenced by the legacy of Freud. A part of psychoanalytic productions in Brazilian universities (thesis) was analyzed in its methods and theoretical frameworks to discuss the interface research, psychoanalysis and university. The diversity of methods, themes, authors and articulations to several areas of knowledge, coupled with the character of incompleteness, constitutive of psychoanalysis, allows us to say that at the university, traditional research locus, psychoanalysis can be formulated and also reinvented.
