" Psychoanalitical treatment with severly disturbed /Adolescents"
abstract
Trattare analiticamente adolescenti con spiccate tendenze autodistruttive costituisce una sfida per l’analista a vari livelli.
Egli si trova costretto a scelte teorico- cliniche che hanno inevitabili conseguenze sul trattamento: fra queste, le ipotesi sulla patologenesi della sintomatologia dell’adolescente, il ruolo del controtransfert nell’elaborazione della pressione che gli actings dell’adolescente e dei suoi genitori esercitano sulla tenuta e sul funzionamento mentale dell’analista; la valutazione del peso che hanno in queste specifiche situazioni cliniche i fattori terapeutici più importanti (interpretazione, supporto della funzione riflessiva, empatia, condivisione, sintonizzazione, ecc.); il ruolo del lavoro con i genitori, che nell’adolescenza costituiscono specificamente oggetti interni-esterni. Nel panel, questi punti verranno discussi sulla base del materiale clinico di un adolescente di 14 anni che ha commesso svariati tentativi di suicidio.
*Psychoanalytically treating adolescents with marked self-destructive tendencies challenges the analyst in various ways, and he is forced into theoretical/clinical choices which have inevitable consequences on the treatment. These include the prevalent hypotheses regarding the aetiopathogenesis of the adolescent’s symptomatology, the role of counter-transference in the elaboration of the pressure exerted by the adolescent’s actings out (and those of the parents) on the resilience and mental functions of the analyst; the evaluation of the essential therapeutic factors (interpretations, support of self-reflecting, empathy, sharing, atunment, etc.) in this type of situation; the role given to working with parents, specifical internal-external objects in early adolescence.*
*With the panel I would like to discuss these points using clinical material relating to a 14-year-old girl who has begun therapy after several attempts at suicide.*

"There is a remedy for everything but deat": To bear witness, to recover and transform psychic experiences of annihilation”
Abstract:
The aim of this work is to discuss the traumatic elements emerging in the clinical material of a patient, who is a third-generation Holocaust’s survivor offspring. We have known for many years that the second and third generations are contaminated with the trauma of the Shoah through the encounters with the encapsulated memories of the previous generation. The following generations received from the previous one the task of interpreting and understanding what at that time was impossible for it to interpret and understand. In this paper we present a few clinical sessions, and a short biography of a man in his fifties, who suffered from the death of many relatives and who is living in the constant expectation of additional losses. He complains above all of a persistent inability to overcome the sadness for his mother’s natural death. On the other hand he seems unwilling to lose the contact with these painful, continuous tragic events (in a detailed description of a clinical session reported in the paper he keeps on scratching the palm of his child’s hand). The active and constant reproduction of his pain preserves him from the mental representation of his losses, and he is scared that a positive work of mourning could allow forgetfulness (which is felt to be lethal). The very process of analysis is sometimes perceived as too much of an easy comfort. He remembers feeling well only when, during a trip to Israel, he had met some Russian immigrates, perfect strangers to him: they were speaking another language and they came from a place where I cannot go, the desert . We have analyzed the clinical material according to three different models of analytical mental functioning, for offering the patient different options for an apparatus for thinking he seems to lack. (the water of oniric thoughts where he can float) (In a dream he tells: I was running away from something I don’t remember now; then I was longing to swim and I started swimming, but in the dream there was no water to swim in, only a paved street.) We would like to open a discussion with the Small Discussion Group on the traumatic elements emerging in the clinical material from three different perspectives: the duty to bear witness, the need to recover and the need to transform the experiences. Here are three questions we’d like to discuss with the Group: 1) How, when and what a patient needs to remember the historical events in order to avoid the compulsive repetition of silence, shame, and rage and how these memories enter the analyst’s counter-transference in his work with the patients? 2) Is it possible that a patient can perceive the work of symbolic elaboration and of reparation as a denial, disavowal and annihilation of his painful, traumatic experience? 3) Can the symbolic transformation be felt as threat of destruction of the sensory-perceptive experience or can the experience, placed in a symbolic order shared with others, represent a way to preserve the individual and group sense of continuity?

“Identity and Clinical Transformations. Theoretical and Clinical Convergences in Psychoanalysis of Serious Personality Disorder Patients“
Abstract
Using the concept of identity, with a patient suffering from Identity Disorder, this paper presents the possibility of transforming a psychotherapy treatment into a real psychoanalysis.
Similar to what is called a “normal personality”, the PD follows a development and forms itself from the first years of life to adulthood. For various environmental, biologically or traumatic factors, it expresses a true maladjusted personality of ego-distonic and alloplastic type. Patients with PD are unaware of their impairment and the effect it has on their relationships with others. The disorder occurs in at least two of the following areas: cognitive or affective experience, interpersonal functioning and behavioral control impulses. All factors, which imply that these patients are unaware of their impairment and the effect it has on their relationships with others.
The author notes how their mental activity is often occupied by the need to maintain a balance because of continuous emotional instability due to serious emotional anguishes: a deep sense of emptiness, dissociative aspects, loss of sense of life or specific persecutory aspects. All disturbing emotions that hinder the possibility of building a good sense of one’s Self.
One connection consists in the convergence of Identity perception and the Self state, defined as a set of psychobiologic patterns of activation that allow the mind to find a functional cohesion when traumatic events or situations occur.
The concept of trauma in connection to psychopathological development is also discussed, with particular attention concerning Psychopathological Organizations. While protecting the mental suffering, pathological configurations control the mind and interfere with the good identity development and learning ability to control emotions.
The presentation of a Narcissistic Personality Disorder patient, allows the possibility to show how the theoretical and clinical convergences between Neuroscience, Psychopathology and Self Development Theories is helpful in widening the field of Psychoanalysis regarding serious diseases and especially helps to understand why PD subjects cannot construct an evolutionary mind.
Through the analyst’s sensitivity to perceive Pathological Identifications, and to adequately synchronize with the narcissistic configurations of the transference, the analytical process to modify the emotional states of the patient is shown. Transformational modalities used in the analysis are presented, such as the communication about the self-state of the patient, metaphorical elaboration of the emotional narration which emerged during sessions, and the creation of a climate that favored the patient’s expressions of suffering.
Finally, the author comments on how through the analyst’s preservation of the patient’s communications and projections in his mind, the analyst in training can thus develop a learning capacity to transform his analytical identity.

- to bring psychoanalytic scholars from around the world to meet with experienced psychoanalytic researchers to present their work and develop skills in research design and data analysis;
- to facilitate many psychoanalytic research careers;
- to increase grant submissions to the Research Advisory Board;
- to increase the number of publications in psychoanalytic and non-psychoanalytic journals;
to maintain an active and extensive international network of research scholars who encourage their students and also provide peer mentoring to one another.
