N2 - The paper, highlighting the aspect of Sigmund Freud's presymbolic and early symbolic development, traces how the >Ursprache< and >Ur-Kultur< of Příbor pressed behind other symbolic codes throughout his life's work. Weaving together multiple meanings of the words of Freud's original writings, the paper explores how his early access to a variety of symbolic codes, initially facilitated by his Příbor nanny, who spoke and sang to him in Czech and exposed him to liturgical Latin, in addition to his family's Yiddish and German, contributed to Freud's founding of psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice.

N2 - Stefano Bolognini's conceptual clarity, fluency, and originality of thought are evident in this interview with Eva Papiasvili, as he draws broad multidimensional connections between Sigmund Freud's roots in Příbor, the roots and evolution of the International Psychoanalytic Association, and generations of psychoanalysts.

A story of beginnings and continuities JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 24 (No. 1, 2015), pp. 2-7. N2 - The >Freud in Příbor< publication represents the unique record of all the papers presented at the historical symposium >Psychological Birth and Infant Development,< held on August 4–5 2013 in Freud's birthplace, the town of Příbor, Czech Republic. The papers are preceded by a word from the symposium chair, an address by the President of the IPA, and an interview with Stefano Bolognini. These >Introductory remarks by the issue editors: A story of beginnings and continuities< provide the historical-cultural and dynamic context for all the ensuing chapters. This paper reviews the objectives of the symposium, the core ideas of the individual contributions in relation to the unique beginnings of Sigmund Freud in Příbor, and the unique history of psychoanalysis in the Czech Republic. The backdrop of the multidirectional complexity of development, events, and the memory of the back and forth >après-coup< deferred action reverberates throughout.

T1 - Hate (its vicissitudes and its relations) revisited: Part I – Individual JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 28 (No. 2, 2019), pp. 071-082. N2 - The present paper is an expansion of the author’s discussion of Harold Blum’s seminal presentation >Hate and its vicissitudes< in Prague in 2017. It aims at an elaboration of various aspects of hate and hatred as a complex dynamic intrapsychic and relational affective-cognitive state, alloyed, in different ways, with aggression and love. In this context, various theoretical perspectives concerning the multifaceted relation between hate, love, and sexuality, and hate and destructive aggression, and transformations between them, including the first study of neurobiological correlates of hate, will be raised and explored. Implication on destruction as well as psychic structuring, adaptation and creativity are also considered. The clinical vignettes illustrates the relevance of multiple theoretical conceptualizations in contemporary psychoanalytic practice. Y1 - 2019 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Papiasvili, Eva D. T1 - Hate (its vicissitudes and its relations) revisited: Part II - Groups and culture JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 28 (No. 2, 2019), pp. 083-094. N2 - Part I of this paper discussed various dynamic aspects of hate in the individual developmental and clinical context. Part II, also an expansion of the author’s discussion of Harold Blum’s presentation on >Hate and its vicissitudes< in Prague in 2017, examines the theme of hate as a multidimensional dynamic group phenomenon. The paper uses various theoretical perspectives to focus on group unconscious processes and the group-specific dynamic of regression leading to an activation of primitive ego operations, unleashing destructive aggression as well as creative mobilization. Also considered are the implications in terms of destruction, adaptation, and creativity, in relation to group unconscious dynamic processes and intergenerationally trasmitted trauma and posttraumatic developments.

T1 - Continued relevance of Dante Alighieri’s >Comedy< that transformed the soul and the culture JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 29 (No. 1, 2020), pp. 039-049. N2 - The following essay is a modified version of an invited presentation given in Florence, Italy in May 2017. It builds on and extends some of the previous psychoanalytic and multidisciplinary studies of Dante’s >Divine Comedy< as a >psychoanalysis of the Middle Ages< that greatly contributed to the incipient changes of the cultural episteme. The paper will explore and elaborate the continued relevance of Dantian proto-psychoanalytic insight into the complex role of regression, destruction, transgression, and conflict in generating growth, expansion, and creativity, and the ways in which ethics and erotics intertwine in a complex path towards unity, within the context of his multivocal presubjective, intrasubjective, and intersubjective inquiry leading to psychic reorganization. The liminal nature of Dante’s poetry, extending the symbolic and representational range in a way unprecedented in the vernacular literature of his time, vivifying and representing what is traditionally thought of as beyond representation, will also be considered in terms of its relevance to the contemporary psychoanalytic discourse.

T1 - Postpartum depression and attachment: Is anybody here? JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 26 (No. 1, 2017), pp. 022-028. N2 - The paper presents a developmental and dynamic multitheoretical overview of many dimensions of attachment-related processes activated under the conditions of maternal depression. The clinical vignette (from the analytic practice of Eva D. Papiasvili) of reconstructive anaytic work with an adult patient illustrates the profound impact of maternal depression on precocious early differentiation between the attachment styles, of the depressed parent and the substitute caregiver, at the root of early >counterdependent< self-sufficiency. Through reconstructive interpretive work, first with enactments and then dreams, pertaining to not-remembered, represented, or symbolized events of earliest infancy, the patient is able to make a series of developmentally transformative symbolic leaps, restoring the capacity for intimacy, hope, trust, and pleasure. This breaks the intergenerational mother–daughter transmission of postpartum depression and related problematic attachment. Y1 - 2017 ER -
