>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.
Attachment theory, as developed by Bowlby, and empirical research derived from it, beginning with Ainsworth's >Strange Situation< and the correlated home observations, are described. The studies of the transgenerational transmission of patterns and of the internal working models of the relationship, as well as longitudinal studies, are reported. The main focus of the paper is on cross-cultural studies, carried out in Germany, Israel and Japan. In North Germany, as compared to the U. S., there was a higher frequency of avoidant behavior in babies. This finding has been linked with the cultural demand for premature self-reliance. It is suggested that in the avoidant North German children we see the early ontogeny of the authoritarian character.

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.
An alternative view of the nature of dreaming consciousness is presented that differs from that of Dr. McDougall in three important ways. The dream is not regarded as the result of a return to a regressive state. It is a highly creative metaphorical representation of the subjective state of the dreamer. The dreamer is involved in a selfconfrontational act that is revelatory rather than disguised. Secondly, the dream is the result of the interplay of motivational sources that go beyond wish-fulfilment and that are mobilized by the effort to move against inner and outer constraints. Finally, dream content is concerned with issues of connectedness to the self and others. A distinction is drawn between an approach based solely on the basic phenomenological features of dreaming consciousness namely, the linkage of present and past subjective residues of experience and an approach in which metapsychological theory is used as a superimposed template in arriving at the meaning of dream imagery. The implications of this point of view are explored in connection with the clinical material presented by Dr. Mc- Dougall, A greater emphasis is placed on amplifying the recent emotional context of the dream, the specificity of the dream imagery and the dialogue needed to develop as fully as possible the associative matrix of the dream.
