Este estudo tem como objetivo sistematizar e analisar o conceito de falso si-mesmo na teoria do amadurecimento pessoal de D. W. Winnicott e mostrar que esse conceito contribui para a compreensão da saúde e do adoecimento psíquico nas diversas etapas do desenvolvimento. O falso si-mesmo patológico foi compreendido como uma organização defensiva que se origina de um padrão de falhas na facilitação ambiental relativo ao início do contato com a realidade compartilhada tarefa fundamental que se impõe ao bebê no começo da vida e raiz da capacidade de se relacionar saudavelmente com o mundo externo ao longo da existência. Foi avaliado que o falso si-mesmo caminha na direção da patologia, pois implica uma cisão da personalidade e vários níveis de perda da espontaneidade e do sentido pessoal do viver, base da saúde psíquica em Winnicott. O lactente, imaturo e extremamente dependente dos cuidados maternos, precisa que a mãe lhe apresente o mundo de acordo com a necessidade dele, complementando o seu gesto espontâneo. A mãe falha ao apresentar o mundo ao bebê fora de seu ritmo, de maneira alheia a seu gesto, impondo um padrão próprio dela, que desconsidera a pessoa do bebê. Isto configura uma invasão, uma descontinuidade do existir, perda da espontaneidade e da capacidade de criar o mundo a partir do si-mesmo pessoal e verdadeiro. Considerou-se que o bebê, a fim de preservar o si-mesmo verdadeiro e protegê-lo para não ser definitivamente violado ou aniquilado, opera a cisão entre o verdadeiro si-mesmo fonte da espontaneidade e o falso si-mesmo, que se adapta e se relaciona com as exigências do mundo externo tal qual se apresentam. O bebê se submete ao padrão materno e torna-se reativo. O falso si mesmo pode ser descrito como um padrão de reatividade em oposição à espontaneidade, e a articulação dessas duas maneiras de se relacionar com a realidade externa envolvem graus diversos de saúde ou de doença psíquica. Procedeu-se a uma análise dos graus de cisão entre o verdadeiro e o falso si-mesmo e concluiu-se que, nessa perspectiva, a saúde psíquica não pode ser avaliada considerando-se a adequação de uma pessoa à realidade externa; e que é a combinatória de fatores como a precocidade da irrupção da externalidade antes da prontidão do bebê, o tipo de falha materna que se estabelece como padrão e a o grau de perda de contato com o impulso pessoal, que comporá os diversos distúrbios relativos ao falso si-mesmo / The objective of this study is to systematize and analyze the concept of false self in D. W. Winnicotts theory of personal maturation and show that this concept contributes for the comprehension of health and psychic illness on the diverse steps of development. The pathological false self was presented as a defensive organization that is originated by a pattern of flaws in the facilitating environment during the beginning of the contact with the shared reality a fundamental task that imposes itself on the baby at the start of life and is the root of the capacity to relate healthily with the external world throughout existence. It was evaluated that the false self walks toward the pathology, as it implicates a personality scission and the loss of various levels of spontaneity and the personal sense of living, the base of the mental health for Winnicott. The newborn, immature and extremely dependent of maternal care, needs the mother to introduce him to the world accordingly to his need, complementing his spontaneous gesture. The mother fails when introducing the world to the baby not following his rhythm, not considering his gesture, imposing her own pattern that does not consider the newborns person. That configures an invasion, a discontinuity of existing, the loss of spontaneity and the loss of the capacity to create the world based on the personal and true self. It was considered that the baby, in order to preserve the true self and protect it from being definitely violated or extinguished, operates the scission between the true self the spontaneity source and the false self, that adapts itself and relates to the requirements of the external world as they are presented. The baby submits to the maternal pattern and becomes reactive. The false self can be described as a reactivity pattern as opposed to spontaneity, and the articulation of these two manners of relating with the external reality involve diverse degrees of psychic health or illness. From an analysis of the degrees of scission between the true and the false self, it is concluded that, in this perspective, the mental health cannot be evaluated considering a persons adequacy to the external reality; and that it is the combinatorial of factors, as the earliness of the externalitys outbreak prior to the babys readiness, the type of maternal flaw that establishes itself as pattern and the degree of contact with the personal impulse loss, that will compose the diverse disorders related to the false self

Winnicott nas suas múltiplas faces partindo do pressuposto que os diferentes sentidos do conceito estão atrelados no âmbito etiológico à temporalidade do amadurecimento emocional. A revisão bibliográfica da obra do autor empreende a pesquisa centrada no termo medo ou a conceitos a ele associados tais como fobia, ansiedade, angústia, pânico, pavor noturno, terror, agonia impensável, pesadelo, etc. O percurso se divide na apresentação do conceito de medo no contexto dos binômios saúde-doença e normal-patológico, e na temporalidade do amadurecimento. Sob a perspectiva da primeira discussão, o medo se inscreve como fenômeno afetivo de ordem defensiva que como tal é recurso de enfrentamento e comunicação constituindo-se em material diagnóstico da condição emocional da pessoa. Nesta concepção, em detrimento de um preconceito estabelecido de estado psicopatológico, o medo atinge uma compreensão de condição existencial do ser humano. É fenômeno universal, cujo afeto ou não afeto, respeitando-se os diferentes contextos, matizes e níveis de intensidade marcam a distinção entre o normal e o patológico. Os medos, em sua tipologia, dizem respeito às etapas do amadurecimento emocional que abrange o que está acontecendo nas relações interpessoais entre o par mãe-filho na dependência absoluta, na dependência relativa e na formação triangular na independência relativa. Assim se configuram em medos relacionados à sobrevivência psíquica e à identidade, medos da separação da mãe, medos relativos à ambivalência amor-ódio e edípicos. Entende-se que o aprofundamento da pesquisa sobre o medo origina-se na observação e acompanhamento do sofrimento dos pacientes na clínica e, portanto, é para a prática clínica que este conhecimento se justifica e se destina / Abstract: This work discusses the concept of fear in D.W. Winnicott in its multiple faces assuming that different meanings of the concept are associated, in etiologic sphere, to emotional maturational process. The bibliographical review of the author followed the term fear and its associated concepts such as phobia, anxiety, panic, night terror, unthinkable agony, nightmare, etc. The research script is divided into two moments: the presentation of the concept of fear in context of the oppsoition health-sickness and normal-pathology, and in the maturational process temporality. On the first moment, fear is seen as an affective defensive phenomenon that enables the person to face the world and communicate his/her emotional condition. Therefore it may be considered as diagnostic material. Thus, fear is not taken as a psychopathological prejudice, but as a tool that allow us to understand the existential condition of the human being as such. It is an universal phenomenon whose affection or non-affection, regarding its different contexts, grades and levels of intensity, reveals the normal or pathological condition of the person. On the second monent, the tipology of fear has its origins in the stages of emotional maturational process which comprehends interpersonal relations between mother and son in the absolute dependency, relative dependency and in triangular formation during relative indenpendency. Such types of fear are then configurated as fear related to psychological survival and identity, fear of separation from the mother, fear related to love-hate ambivalence and the edipic complex. The research on fear, such as this one, has its origins in the clinical observation of patient suffering, and shall be oriented towards it, where it shall find its deeper justification / Mestrado / Filosofia / Mestra em Filosofia

The aim of this bachelor study was to examine how the conflict between USA and North Korea is framed by the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet and if there was a change in their use of frames after Donald Trump got inaugurated as president of The United States.   By using framing analysis we identified three different frames, “The dictatorship as a threat against world peace”, “The careless leader” and “The incompetent leader”.   We could then with a quantitative approach examine how often these frames was used by Aftonbladet and if there was a change after Donald Trump got inaugurated as president.   These were the questions examined: Which frames of the conflict between North Korea and USA are used in Aftonbladet and how often are they used? Is there any difference in which frames is used after Donald Trump became president of The United States?   We read 131 news articles from Aftonbladet which focused on the conflict. The period spanned from 2013-01-01 to 2017-12-07.   We found that the most commonly used frame was “The dictatorship as a threat against world peace” and we could also see that after Donald Trump became president a new frame emerged, “The careless leader”.

This thesis discusses the central ideas that surround Michael Dummett's claim that there is an incompatibility between a truth-conditional conception of meaning and a minimalist conception of truth. These ideas are brought into relation to the work of John McDowell and Donald Davidson, as all three philosophers can be better understood by locating them within Dummett's dialectic regarding the incompatibility. Dummett's argument crucially depends upon the assumption that a meaning-theory should be full-blooded in nature, against McDowell's insistence that a meaning-theory can only ever be modest. The main contention of this thesis is that neither Dummett nor McDowell is successful in establishing their strong contentions regarding the form that a meaning-theory should take. McDowell only wants to provide trivial answers to questions about the constitutive nature of the meanings and competency of particular items in a language. Dummett, on the other hand, wants to provide a reductive account of the central concepts that concern the philosophy of language. What this thesis will argue is that once both of these claims have been rejected, the position Dummett and McDowell jointly dictate is in fact the position that we should read Davidson as occupying, who lies in a conceptual space between the extremes of maximal full-bloodedness and modesty. This is an understanding of Davidson that is contrary to how McDowell reads him, who has been an influential commentator of Davidson. How Davidson should actually be interpreted is achieved by understanding how he has the resources to avoid Dummett's claim of an incompatibility between a truth-conditional conception of meaning and a minimalist conception of truth.

In 2012, President Barack Obama used prosecutorial discretion to initiate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that deferred deportation and provided employment authorization for a two-year renewable period to undocumented immigrant persons that came to the U.S. as children. Under former President Donald Trump’s administration, DACA was rescinded in 2017. A review of the literature suggests this is the only study to explore the perceived impact of a policy shift in DACA status, given the critical time of interviews conducted from April 2016 to October 2018. Thus, substantially advancing the literature, qualitative data on a diverse group (N=10) of young adult DACA beneficiaries revealed positive and negative impacts. The sample included 60% currently gainfully employed, 40% attending college—while 80% had experienced emotional distress by having an unauthorized legal status and facing obstacles to pursuing higher education. Of note, 40% rated themselves as currently relatively healthy, while 60% indicated having experienced a decline in their physical or mental health since entering the United States. As significant sources of stress, 90% had experienced anxiety centered around having to wait to renew their DACA status and having to pay for their status renewals. Given the rescinding of the DACA program in 2017, many were ill-prepared, as 90% had never experienced being undocumented without a DACA status as an adult in the United States. The main body of qualitative data generated six categories that encompassed 51 emergent themes: 1-Participants’ health trajectory across their lifespan; 2-Participants’ experiences of barriers to seeking care and having their health and mental health needs addressed; 3-Participants Living at the Intersection of Contemporary Immigration; 4-The impact of other family members’ immigration status; 5-From enjoying benefits of the DACA program, to having a false sense of normalcy, to feeling ambivalence, and experiencing detriments; and, 6-Potential DACA policy shifts and anticipated impacts ranging from negative (fear, loss, suffering) to positive (relief). These six broad categories suggest how, despite the benefits of their DACA status, substantial barriers and sources of anxiety and stress still impacted the lives of the young adults and their families. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Russian-American Relations and the Mass Media Securitization of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in the American Press by Valeriia Alikina This thesis is focused on two issues relevant to Security Studies and Political Science: relations between the Russian Federation and the United States of America, which are currently experiencing yet another decline, and problematics of political journalism. It reviews the process of securitization of Russia through speech acts in the mass media of its historical opponent, the United States. First, the thesis provides a theoretical framework, securitization theory, introducing its main principles. To prove that the process of securitization indeed occurs, the method of discourse analysis is employed. The third chapter provides background information on the relations between the Soviet Union/Russia and the United States since the end of the World War II; this information is completed by the role mass media had in their affairs. The next chapter frames the issue of propaganda, elaborating on the meaning behind this concept, the "fake news" narrative, and the idealistic idea of media objectivity. In the fifth chapter, the case study, two processes of securitization are reviewed. The first one is the American mainstream media, namely ​The New York Times​ and ​The...

Topics associated with the United States' foreign policy towards the European Union have become increasingly intense in expert discussions since the turn of the millennium. This is due to several factors, primarily including the strength of the two clusters, on two shores of the Atlantic ocean. The work on the topic of transatlantic relations is divided into four chapters, where the first chapter deals with the theory of regionalism, the historical development of relations between the United States and the European Union, and the European Community. The conclusion of the chapter then anchors foreign policy actors from the US perspective. However, the thesis aim is to compare two US presidents and their relations with the EU. The selected presidents are Barack Obama and Donald Trump, when the 2012-2018 period is a crucial time for work. The aim of the thesis is to find answers to several questions, when the main one is whether and what difference is in the approach of Barack Obama and Donald Trump towards the EU. The paper sets out several criteria by its research, which will then be compared from the perspective of two presidents in order to show whether and how the policies of two consecutive presidents differ in EU relations.

Because of the relative uniqueness of the runaway experience as it now exists, minimal current research information is available. It was our feeling that knowledge about runaways, their families, and the social agencies which serve them is essential if significant prevention and treatment for the problem were to be implemented by the community. The purpose and scope of this exploratory research was essentially two-fold; to contribute descriptive information about runaway youth and their families to the community, and to evaluate the current populations of two agencies which service them. An underlying goal throughout the research was to utilize the data collected to identify trends in runaway behavior, increase the potential for predictability, and provide some real insight into prevention techniques. Our informal hypothesis was that there is a significant difference in specific variables between runaway and non-runaway populations. We were interested in developing a typology of runaways, identifying those factors which increase a child's probability that he/she will run away. Finally, we wanted to know if different agencies tend to serve a particular kind of runaway who has specific characteristics. These constituted the major goals for this research practicum. Since most law enforcement and social service energy is spent at the point of crisis, this research sought to identify trends in the scope of the problem which would aid preventative services for runaways. Hopefully, the impact of this practicum will influence crucial issues in terms of family dynamics, treatment intervention, community resources, and delinquency prevention. The results of this study will be distributed to the participating agencies and other interested segments of the community. Probably more detailed hypothesis testing will be needed; however, this study forms a base of information for future research. Better assessment of meeting the problem by evaluating all existing services should be a continuing focus for the social service community.

This study focuses on the construction of American identity over time as it relates to U.S. foreign policy. It is based on the insights of poststructuralism and variants of discourse theory. In particular, the study depicts the historical development of identity representations within U.S. foreign policy discourse from 2008 to 2020, in order to demonstrate how the ongoing construction of identity enabled Donald Trump's disruptive foreign policy. Much of identity research in IR focuses on Self/Other relationships and understudies affirmative representations of identity. The current study fills this research gap by examining processes of affirmative linking in the construction of identity. The main results of the study found that the Trump administration's identity representations radically diverged from those of the Obama administration. The latter articulated America predominantly as a leader in the world, while the former reconstructed American identity as one of being a victim. However, two representations of American identity stayed constant: America as an inspiration to others and America as a force for good in the world.
