Bigenderism and Bisexuality<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Mark Blechner <\/strong>(USA)<\/p>\n

Contemporary Psychoanalysis<\/em>, Volume 51, Number 3, p.\u00a0503-522, 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n

The term \u201cbigender\u201d is proposed to describe people who combine male\u00a0and female gender identities. Bigenderism is to be distinguished from \u201cbisexuality\u201d\u00a0whose meaning would be limited to sexual attraction to both sexes. This\u00a0change in terminology allows for more precise theory and clinical formulations,\u00a0since some cases of bigenderism have been mistakenly identified as transgender.\u00a0The relationship between gender identity and sexual orientation is discussed in the classification schemes of Kinsey, F. Klein, and Krafft-Ebing,\u00a0and\u00a0in\u00a0some\u00a0cases\u00a0described\u00a0by\u00a0contemporary\u00a0clinicians. Irrational ideas about bisexuality and\u00a0bigender, and the way they inform understanding of transference and countertransference,\u00a0are identified and analyzed.<\/p>\n

Freedom, Goodness, Power, and Belonging: The Semantics of Phobic, Obsessive-Compulsive, Eating, and Mood Disorders<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Att\u00e0 Negri<\/strong> (Italy)<\/p>\n

Journal of Constructivist Psychology, Volume 28, Number 4, p. 293-315, 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n

Authors: <\/strong>Valeria Ugazio, Att\u00e0 Negri, and Lisa Fellin<\/p>\n

Are the semantics of \u201cfreedom,\u201d \u201cgoodness,\u201d \u201cpower,\u201d and \u201cbelonging\u201d characteristic of the stories narrated in psychotherapy by individuals respectively with phobic, obsessive-compulsive, eating, and mood disorders? To verify this hypothesis, put forward by Ugazio’s model of semantic polarities, the Family Semantics Grid (FSG) was applied to the transcripts of 120 individual video-recorded systemic therapy sessions, the first two sessions carried out with 60 patients with phobic (12), obsessive-compulsive (12), eating (12), and mood (12) disorders, as well as asymptomatic patients (12) with existential problems who made up the comparison group. The results confirm the hypothesis. All but one patient were correctly assigned to their diagnostic group only by drawing on their narrated semantics. The semantics alone, therefore, seemed capable of defining the correct diagnostic group to which each patient belonged. We suggest considering the semantics as contextual and cultural diagnostic dimensions, expressions of not only the bonds but also the resources of people, and above all as useful for a diagnosis aimed at fostering processes of transformation and change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Blood-Dimmed Tide\u201d: Witnessing War and Working with the Collective Body in Authentic Movement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Roz Carroll <\/strong>(UK)<\/p>\n

Psychotherapy and Politics International, Volume 13, Number 3, p. 194-208, 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n

This article considers how the impact of witnessing war, violence, and news of sexual abuse, as well as processing these themes in clinical work, can be mediated through the practice of Authentic Movement in a group setting. Dramatic movement stories narrate both the author’s journey into the underworld and the processing of the visceral impact of violence in the embodiment of the self-states of victim, bystander, rescuer and perpetrator. Set in a reflexive discussion of the collective body, politics, trauma theory, and Aristotle’s concepts of catharsis and pity, this article concludes with the acknowledgement that the role of a witnessing community is vital.<\/p>\n

Collaborative Reading of Medical Records in Psychotherapy: A Feminist Psychoanalytic Proposal about Narrative and Empowerment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Malin Fors <\/strong>(Norway) and Nancy McWilliams <\/strong>(USA)<\/p>\n

Psychoanalytic Psychology, Volume 33, Number 1, p. 35-57, 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n

The authors explore the undertheorized question of sharing patients\u2019 medical records as part of the therapeutic process in psychoanalytic psychotherapies. They argue that, especially with more seriously disturbed patients and those with significant personality disorders, collaborative inspection of such records can strengthen the therapeutic alliance, increase mutual understanding of the patient\u2019s problems, support the patient\u2019s self respect, and contribute to a sense of emancipation and personal empowerment. Feminist writing about the ethics of power relationships, attention to the possibilities for misuse of power in the psychoanalytic situation, clinical and anecdotal reports of the consequences of sharing medical records, and relevant empirical investigations are considered in the context of exploring numerous aspects of mutual attention to the patient\u2019s records, both current and past. Material from the treatment of a woman with borderline personality organization and a history of destructive enactments is presented in the context of theorizing the value of looking with patients at their medical files. The authors consider potential problems and limitations of collaborative record-reading and share recommendations about integrating that process with the goals of psychotherapy.<\/p>\n

<\/a>What is Special about Speech?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Jill Gentile<\/strong> (USA)<\/p>\n

Psychoanalytic Psychology,<\/em> Volume 33, Number 1, p. 73-88, 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sigmund Freud sustained a commitment to his scientific dream for psychoanalysis, but remained more conflicted about his \u201cliberal\u201d dream, his quest for individual emancipation born of truth-seeking discourse. Yet both dreams drew inspiration from an Enlightenment ethos of experimentation, with a quintessentially human ingredient: free speech. The American Founding Fathers, prior to Freud but similarly influenced by Enlightenment roots, also sustained an ethos of experimentation with free speech\u2014the exercise of which was seen as essential to human (individual and collective) liberty. While most arguments defending the special status of speech appeal to the tenets of Enlightenment philosophy, neither psychoanalysis nor democracy has a well-articulated theory of why speech is accorded a privileged status. But both did establish fundamental rules that instantiated a bounded space of ambiguity for the unbounded exercise of free speech and truthful discourse. By so doing, psychoanalysis and democracy, by enabling the primacy of speech, both joined experimental and hermeneutic aspects, scientific and liberal dreams, and empiricist and emancipatory truths; and both remain mutually relevant despite having seldom been treated as such.<\/p>\n
