Totem et tabou est un texte déconcertant et difficile parce qu'il donne trop facilement l'impression d'être ailleurs que dans le domaine de la psychanalyse. Pourtant, Freud y cherche autant la ...validation clinique que la limite théorique de la psychanalyse : la persistance de traces mnésiques anciennes, transmises dans l'organisation sociale, et repérables aux restes inscrits dans la culture.
A moody Freud posed against a background of holiday pictures pinned to a wall; or lurking at the very edge of a large family group; or lost in a crowd of nineteenth-century scientists. These ...snapshots or posed portraits not only tell stories, they also carry a specific emotional charge. The earlier essays in this book follow traces of Freud's early years through the evidence of such album photographs; the later essays use them to reconstruct the stories of various family members. An unknown photo of his half-brother Emanuel initiates an investigation into the Manchester Freuds. An identity photo of his daughter Anna, and the document to which it is attached, throw light on the critical final days of her trip to England in 1914. A faded idyllic print of children playing evolves into a discussion of Ernst Freud's luck and childhood. The suicide of Anna's artist cousin, Tom Seidmann Freud, emerges from a snap of her infant daughter Angela.

Graves retrocessos nos são impostos diariamente, e o horizonte de ação parece encurtado em face às possibilidades que nos são apresentadas. A autora discute o conceito de sintoma e os seus sentidos ...nos pacientes somatizadores, apontando a necessidade de um manejo clínico que tome como indispensável o vínculo transferencial, a tradução ou nomeação do inominável, sua interpretação e ressignificação para integração na psiquê. Para tanto, os autores destacam diferentes contextos de atuação do psicanalista - no consultório, nas clínicas psicossociais e nos atendimentos online - como forma de pensar o ato analítico norteado pela ética da psicanálise e assegurado na sustentação da posição do analista enquanto presença - ponto de convergência que permite a inserção do psicanalista nos campos de atuação citados. Os autores buscam os efeitos do poder na neurose e nos processos de sujeição social, bem como os limites e possibilidades da psicanálise orientada por uma ação ética. Neste sentido, a metáfora, enquanto elaboração do Simbólico, funciona como fio que permite o entrelaçamento entre a poética de Stella do Patrocínio e os discursos da psicanálise, da teoria da literatura e da filosofia. Marina Cardoso de Jesus Gomes e Amandio de Jesus Gomes, no artigo Sobre o colapso da objetalidade no discurso do capitalista, trazem para o debate o percurso freudiano desde a exclusão de das Ding até o surgimento da dimensão da objetalidade por meio da constituição da realidade estruturada como fantasia.
RESUMO: O artigo investiga o lugar ocupado pelo dinheiro na economia psíquica de um ponto de vista pulsional, com base na psicanálise. Trata-se de pesquisa com metodologia bibliográfica e leitura ...interpretativa na perspectiva psicanalítica. Conclui-se que o dinheiro se constitui como objeto pulsional com injunção estruturante sobre o psiquismo, instituindo-se como cifra da própria constituição do sujeito.
Abstract: This work proposes to investigate the place occupied by money in the psychic economy from a Freud’s drive theory. It is a research with bibliographic methodology and interpretive reading in the psychoanalytic perspective. It is concluded that money is constituted as an object of the Freud’s drive theory with a structuring injunction on the psyche, establishing itself as a cipher of the subject’s own constitution.

La notion de symptôme de transfert reste imprécise chez Freud. Le symptôme de transfert est présenté ici comme un moment particulier de la cristallisation de la névrose de transfert. Il advient comme ...une construction progressive formant un compromis entre un double investissement, celui du cadre et celui de l'analyste. Il en résulte un aménagement symbolique du cadre selon un procédé qui rappelle la figuration plastique du rêve. Comme formation de compromis, le symptôme de transfert inclut l'analyste et interroge le contre-transfert comme partie prenante de cette formation. Trois cas de figure sont présentés selon le rapport du cadre au processus analytique.
This book demonstrates the clinical value of "making Freud more Freudian". The theoretical contributions of Charles Brenner are summarized and emphasized. They are built on an elaboration of Arlow's ..."fantasy function" and Freud's "compromise formation". The author applies this theoretical perspective in elaboration of the concepts of narcissism, masochism, shame and guilt to the distinction between psychiatric and psychoanalytic diagnoses, as well as to a variety of specific clinical topics. Finally, the author emphasizes that the ubiquity of unconscious conflict demonstrates that all perceptions are subjective and relationships intersubjective.
Be it the choice to ask for a promotion, negotiate a job offer, or even ask a potential romantic partner out on a date, consumers frequently find themselves faced with the decision of whether to ...approach or avoid desired outcomes that carry a risk of failure. Approach and avoidance have long been recognized as two fundamental motivations driving human behavior (Elliot 2006; Freud 1920; Higgins 1997; James 1890). Research on reason-based choice suggests that when choosing to approach or avoid, people are more likely to approach options based on their positive features (pros) and avoid options based on their negative features (cons; Shafir et al. 1993). In contrast, we propose that for choices where there is a risk of failure that is self-threatening, consumers who consider both pros and cons of an outcome, that is, generate ambivalence (Priester and Petty 1996), will be more willing to pursue the outcome than those who consider only the outcome's positive features. In seven studies (N=1,995), we show that bringing to mind the negatives of an outcome mitigates the threat of failure by reducing the outcome's desirability, while keeping in mind the positives of the outcome encourages consumers to pursue it. Further, we show that consumers do not intuit this effect and are likely not taking advantage of it. Pretests of the designs of Studies 1-4B and the high self-threat manipulation in Study 5 confirmed that consumers perceived the contexts in these studies as self-threatening (p<.001 for all). Participants in Study 1 considered negotiating their dream job's number of vacation days and wrote either three pros about getting more vacation days (low ambivalence) or one pro and two cons (high ambivalence). Control condition participants simply decided whether to negotiate. The omnibus was significant (χ2(df=2, n=300)=11.71, p=.003). Those generating high ambivalence were more willing to negotiate (79.6%) than those generating low ambivalence (61.6%; p=.006) and those in the control condition (58.3%; p=.001), the latter two groups not differing (p=.626). Participants in Study 2A considered asking someone who looks like their celebrity crush out on a date and wrote either three pros of dating their celebrity crush lookalike (low ambivalence) or one pro and two cons (high ambivalence). Those generating high ambivalence were more willing to ask their celebrity crush lookalike out (717=58.2) than those generating low ambivalence (717=49.34; p=.021). Those generating high ambivalence also felt more ambivalent (7U=4.60) than those generating low ambivalence (37=3.89; p=.011), confirming that our manipulation induced ambivalence. Participants in Study 2B were given the details of Study 2A, and the majority of them (81%) incorrectly predicted that participants in Study 2A's low ambivalence condition would be more likely to ask out their celebrity crush lookalike, χ2(1) = 76.88, p<.001. Currently employed participants in Study 3 generated either high or low ambivalence towards a promotion at their workplace. Participants who generated high ambivalence towards the promotion were more willing to ask for a promotion (61.0%) than those who generated low ambivalence (44.0%; χ2(df=1, n=200)=5.79, p=.016). Participants who generated high ambivalence towards the promotion (M=2.97) reported lower self-threat than those who generated low ambivalence (M=3.56; p=.003). Bootstrap analysis (Hayes 2017) revealed that participants who generated high ambivalence felt less self-threat, resulting in greater willingness to ask for a promotion 95% CI: 0.02, 0.36. As in Study 3, currently employed participants in Study 4A generated either high or low ambivalence towards a promotion at their workplace. Those generating high ambivalence reported that the promotion was less desirable (M=5.11) than did those generating low ambivalence (M=5.79; p<.001). Those generating high ambivalence also reported less self-threat (M=2.79) than did those generating low ambivalence (M=3.64; p<.001). Those generating high ambivalence indicated higher willingness to ask for a promotion (36.3%) than did those generating low ambivalence (11.2%; χ2(df=1, n=200)=17.19, p<.001). Bootstrap analysis (Hayes 2017) revealed that participants generating high ambivalence desired the promotion less, and consequently felt less self-threat, serially mediating greater willingness to ask for a promotion 95% CI: 0.04, 0.58. The reverse model with self-threat preceding outcome desirability found no mediating path from self-threat to outcome desirability leading to greater willingness to ask for a promotion (95% CI for the indirect effect: -0.01, 0.15). Currently employed participants in Study 4B generated either positive, negative, or ambivalent attitudes towards a promotion at work. The omnibus was significant (F(2, 292)=3.20, p=.042). Participants indicated higher likeliness to ask for the promotion in the ambivalent condition (M=39.25) compared to both the positive condition (M=26.90; p=.019) and the negative condition (M=28.89; p=.049), which did not differ from each other (p=.703). Participants in Study 5 generated either high or low ambivalence towards an IQ task, described as quicker than a Math task, before choosing between the two. Self-threat was manipulated by varying if one's ability to take the IQ task did (high threat) or did not (low threat) depend on performance on a pre-task. The interaction was significant (b=1.20; p=.001). In the high self-threat conditions, participants chose the IQ task at higher rates when they generated high ambivalence (76.2%) than when they generated low ambivalence (62.9%; p=.016) This reversed in low self-threat conditions; participants chose the IQ task at lower rates when they generated high ambivalence (68.4%) than when they generated low ambivalence (79.1%; p=.029). The current research offers insight into how and when ambivalence leads to an approach motivation, adding to literature on the functional consequences of ambivalence (Cornil et al. 2014; Hershfield et al. 2013; Larsen et al. 2003; Lipkus et al. 2005). Second, it contributes to work on reason-based choice, qualifying the finding that people are more likely to approach an outcome only for its positive features (Barber et al. 2003; Hoch 1984; Shafir et al. 1993; Simonson 1989) by demonstrating that the generation of both positive and negative features can counterintuitively make action towards the outcome more likely within self-threatening contexts. Finally, it extends research examining the relationship between ambivalence and threat (Pagliaro et al. 2012; Reich and Wheeler 2016; Rothman and Vitriol 2021) by illuminating that ambivalence reduces self-threat.
"The Future of an Illusion" reveals Freud's reflections about religion as well as his hope that in the future science will go beyond religion, and reason will replace faith in God. The discussion ...with an imaginary critic revealed his internal debate, mirroring the debate about this subject in the outside world. However, it also enlightens his way of thinking: deconstructing and constructing at the same time. This volume considers Freudian ideas and their implications today, while focusing on the contradictions and gaps in Freud's proposals. The question of the coexistence between religion and psychoanalysis, as well as the place of ideals, belief, illusion, and imagination - and, no less important, the benevolent and destructive aspects of religion - also come into play.
