In his comment on Teurnell's paper >The Piggle—a sexually abused girl?< the author points to the risk of organizing a complicated clinical material around one single idea and briefly describes other ways of understanding the material in Winnicott's book. To the author's mind, the richness and depth of the material and the subtleness and aesthetics of the interplay between Winnicott and the Piggle, in Teurnell's way of reading, collapse into one single question: the possibility of a sexual trauma. At the end of the comment the role of the Piggle's father is shortly discussed.
>Psychoanalytic Considerations on the Defences from Confrontation with the Stranger<: The conscious and unconscious are qualities of the contents of the psyche attributed, for the most part, to social processes, that are themselves unconscious. In this way the conscious area is largely an illusion. The total man, from the most distant past to the potential future, remains unconscious. One is a member of society, but also member of the human race and, as such, citizen of the world. Humanism is the antithesis of all xenophobic nationalism, all racism and all prejudiced thought. The repression of emotions, sentiments and thoughts which strike the family harmony are part of a strategy of survival adopted by the individual from the start of infancy. The operation of estrangement begins from oneself in order to conform with the family and social environment. Ostracism is avoided by directing it towards repressed and split parts of oneself and towards all aspects on the outside to which those parts allude, according to the defence mechanisms of identifiaation with the aggressor and the projection. Not only is >primordial man< estranged, but also and above all man in his potentiality of development, the >new man< who has overcome narcissism and the symbioticincestuous attachment. The revolutionary character is the strangest of all in today's Western society. The Author supports these positions by the analysis of two dreams and by a brief history of witch hunt.

Algunos comentarios del grupo mexicano de sociopsicoanalisis sobre el seminario de octubre de 1992

After having read: The Piggle. An Account of the Psychoanalytic Treatment of a Little Girl by D W Winnicott the author presents the hypothesis that the Piggle is a sexually abused girl, who during the treatment is trying to tell what has actually happened to her. – The facts upon which the hypothesis is built are presented and discussed. The author suggests that Winnicott because of his countertransference is not capable to understand what his patient is telling him. His resistance is supposed to be acted out in an unfortunate way because of the weakness of the method of the treatment, psychoanalysis on demand, which means that Winnicott meets his little patient when she herself demands it.
Some salient features of a Sullivanian perspective are given as a background for a discussion of the case of Anna. Lived experience is mentioned as of equal importance as fantasy. Technically, analytic inquiry in the form of questions is stressed. In his review of the case presentation, the author observes that too much emphasis is given to content, compared to form. He notes that the therapist does not report key transference and non-transference interactions with the patient and further suggests that the patient still has significant narcissistic problems. He suggests that it is time to confront the patient with her characterological ways of relating to the analyst.
Coloquio con Rainer Funk
(1993)
With the starting point in a discussion about social reality in the psychoanalytic process the definition of psychoanalysis is discussed. Then the concept of neutrality is examined somewhat more at length with the conclusion that the content of psychoanalysis must be determined by the patients' free associations, not excluding of course material of social and cultural origin. It is also suggested that the word neutrality could be replaced with reserve.
The problem of psychoanalytical identity is discussed under the aspects of psychoanalysis: (1) as the history of a charismatic movement shaping the organizational and career patterns in a specific direction; (2) as a science with the difficulties of defining the correlations of interpretative, clinical-empirical and >scientistic< dimensions inherent in its basic assumptions.
>Dati empirici sull'ontogenesi del carattere sociale tedesco e confronti transculturali<: Vengono descritte la teoria dell'attaccamento, così come è stata sviluppata da Bowlby, e la ricerca empirica che ne è derivata, a cominciare dalla Strange Situation della Ainsworth e dalle osservazioni in casa ad essa correlate. Vengono pure riferiti gli studi sulla trasmissione transgenerazionale, sui modelli di lavoro interni e gli studi longitudinali. L'argomento principale del lavoro è costituito dagli studi transculturali condotti in Germania, Israele e Giappone. Nella Germania settentrionale, in confronto agli Stati Uniti, venne trovata una frequenza maggiore di comportamenti evitanti nei bambini. Questo dato è stato correlato con la richiesta culturale di una prematura fiducia in sé. Si suggerisce che nei bambini evitanti della Germania settentrionale noi vediamo l'ontogenesi precoce del carattere autoritario.

>The Social Roots of Modern Science<: This discussion is predicated on the following theses: - Modern science, and especially physics as it has developed since Galileo and Newton, is not value-neutral. It is therefore not merely science’s practical outlets and technological spinoffs that embody the interests, values and weltanschauung of its practitioners. Rather its specific mode of grappling with nature is, both in its methodology and basic concepts, interest- and value-laden from the outset; moreover, science is rooted in a particular view of the world. The view of the world in which science is grounded, and hence also its fundamental concepts, are socially mediated historical developments. It is from basic social structures, especially those in the socio-economic sphere, that such scientific concepts as space and time, the knowing subject, and objectivized nature, have been won, i.e. they have derived from them central aspects and structural features of their interpretive edifice. The present attempt at a materialistic explanation of modern science seeks to answer the question of how scientific theory formation and experimentation,science’s characteristic mode of grappling with nature, can be construed as an historically conditioned way of conceiving nature. Here Alfred Sohn-Rethals’ theory, according to which economic modalities are >reflected< in human consciousness, proves too narrow an answer. This article mainly draws on Fromm’s pivotal concept of >social character<. Applying the latter to the problem of deriving the basic concepts of natural science, the author offers the following answer: To each specific historically conditioned mode of production there pertains a specific social character – the ego must accept what is incumbent on it, as a social actor, to secure the preservation of society. It is in need of an orientational framework, an object of reverence, an appropriate identity. As far as the ego’s relation to nature within a given production modality is concerned, the image of nature and the basic concepts of natural science communicate an orientational framework to the ego, together with the necessary means, to stabilize the identity required by the production modality.

The profound psychic differences between the two human sexes are also reflected in their diverse psychopathology, even though the basic clinical forms remain common for both. In this study the problem of the psychoanalytic difference between the two sexes is discussed within the framework of psychotic situations; in intrapsychic relationships with the mother and the father, and between the patient and the therapist and with his sex. The problem of masculine and feminine psychosexuality is furthermore seen in a different light, in accordance with its pre- or postoedipal configuration.
The case of Anna presented by Professor Giliberti is discussed from an interpersonal perspective. Attention is given to Anna's real experiences of hypocrisy, social inadequacy, hatred and blame projection. Paranoid aspects are emphasized and seen as connected with a disparity between appearance and reality in the communicative pattern of the family.

The term psychotic crisis should be understood not only as an acute psychopathological syndrome occurring in the whole spectrum of psychoses, but also as a crisis that may occur in a healed patient facing difficulties in everyday life, or as a sudden change in a long and monotonous psychotherapy. The therapeutical duty often consists in >teaching<the patient to forget the urgency of the situation, as a condition for a serious work on himself. >Urgent intervention<by the therapist should be differentiated from >direct intervention<. The former requires abandoning of the classical setting of verbal encounter, whereas >direct interventions< even if urgent and different from the usual psychoanalytic interventions, do not imply a change in the setting. I use this method only with psychotic patients in a situation of crisis. It implies >progressive overturnings< i.e. changing the situation of the patient in a positive direction by images arising from our therapeutic unconscious as a >projection< of the therapeutical imago. Usually they are verbal, but here I will show graphic and what I call >transforming< images. The >overturnings< are here summarized as 1. The overturning of autism into a one-to-one relationship 2. the overturning of repression into integration 3. the overturning of the destructive splitting into individuation.
