Les pratiques médicopsychologiques inspirées par la psychanalyse dans les services d'urgence-état des lieux et perspectives (Medicopsychological treatment inspired by psychoanalysis in emergency departments – inventory and prospects)

Les auteurs se proposent de clarifier la place des pratiques médicopsychologiques d’inspiration psychanalytique au sein des services d’urgence. La méthodologie de cette recherche s’appuie sur la lecture d’ouvrages et documents sur l’hôpital et la médecine, l’observation participante active au sein de services d’urgence, et des entretiens semi-directifs et informels avec des personnels de services d’urgence. Les psychiatres et psychologues soignent de nouvelles catégories cliniques, comme la crise suicidaire ou la situation de victime, en s’appuyant sur l’analyse transitionnelle. Ils entretiennent avec les médecins urgentistes des relations spécifiques et contrastées, alternant proximité liée à leur marginalité au sein de la médecine

(The Emergency departments accommodate the clinical problems which classic hospital medicine do not wish to treat. The authors propose to clarify the place of medicopsychological treatment inspired by psycho- analysis within Emergency departments. The methodology of this research leans on the reading of works and documents on the hospital and the medicine, active participating observation within Emergency units, and semi-directive interviews and informal conversations with Emergency departments units staffs. Psychiatrists and psychologists treat new clinical categories, like suicidal or victim crisis, leaning on transitional analysis. Their relationships with emergency physicians are specific and contrasted, alternating proximity because of their marginality within hospital medicine and distance by the intertransference analysis and stakes which take place in interstitial spaces.)

Healing Childhood Sexual Abuse

The College of Mental Health Counseling presents a summary process for healing childhood sexual abuse that is... more The College of Mental Health Counseling presents a summary process for healing childhood sexual abuse that is sometimes an issue underlying mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, marital problems, suicidality, addiction, eating disorders, borderline and histrionic personality disorders, other mental distress.

The experience of sexual abuse in childhood is one of the most sensitive kinds of trauma addressed in counseling. Those in the helping professions need clear and practical approaches to assist survivors of sexual abuse, recognizing that the healing process may be lengthy and that a single counselor may realistically only be able to help the individual partially heal the pain and effects of the abuse.

This report is adapted from the book “Effective Counseling Skills” by the author, in digital and hard copy at http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Counseling-Skills-therapeutic-statements/dp/1442177993

Healing the experience of childhood sexual abuse involves helping the client begin to disclose the experience, addressing the painful emotions associated with the abuse, understanding the affects and unhealthy decisions and beliefs related to the abuse, and then adopting healthy decisions and beliefs and caring self-talk.

The Psychogenesis of the Self and the Emergence of Ethical Relatedness: Klein in Light of Merleau-Ponty

by Brent Robbins

Co-authored by Jessie Goicoechea. Published in Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psy. Vol. 25, No. 2, 2005

This paper presents a theory of the emergence of ethical relatedness, which is developed through a synthetic reading... more This paper presents a theory of the emergence of ethical relatedness, which is developed through a synthetic reading of the developmental theories of Melanie Klein and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Klein’s theory of the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions are found to roughly parallel Merleau-Ponty’s distinction between the “lived” and the “symbolic.” With the additional contributions of Thomas Ogden and Martin C. Dillon, the theories of Klein and Merleau-Ponty are refined to accommodate the insights of each developmental perspective. Implications of the paper’s analysis include: Opportunities to clarify key concepts in object relations theory, including projective identification; insight into the development of self-conscious emotions such as shame, guilt, embarrassment and gratitude; the articulation of a phenomenologically oriented object relations perspective which allows for human agency and therefore genuine altruism and compassion; and, finally, a validation of previous assertions that theory cannot and should not be meaningfully distinguished from ethics.
