The proposition is that is it possible for the analyst to listen to the patient and to be permitted to use sensibility as part of the technical heritage, without taking refuge in a previous theoretical framework to orient his or her listening. The Wounded Centaur serves the text as key-metaphor in this relationship, given that, according to this ancestral myth, the very disciple that had wounded Quiron/analyst (by imploding the supposed knowledge), is also the one who facilitated the cure (providing the insight that untangles the setting). Chapter I presents by means of a paradigmatic case-analysis situations that lead to the questioning of some common places of psychoanalytic theory. Chapter II introduces, in the light of the Multiple Fields Theory, the principal concepts with which to confront the impasses of clinical practice. Chapter III shows these concepts in action in the referred case-analysis, to reach a conclusion pertaining to the interaction between analyst (wounded healer) and patient (disciple that wounds). With that, it is hoped to demonstrate the viability of taking up again the prime Freudian posture, restoring patient and his or her discourse, at the center of the analysis / Este trabalho tenciona questionar os termos em que se dá, na psicanálise, a abordagem da relação analista-paciente. Propõe ser possível ao analista ouvir seu paciente e se permitir usar de sensibilidade como parte do cabedal técnico, sem se refugiar em um prévio enquadramento teórico para orientar a escuta. O Centauro Ferido serve ao texto como metáfora-chave dessa relação, uma vez que, segundo este mito ancestral, o próprio discípulo que ferira Quíron/analista (ao implodir seu suposto saber), é também aquele que facilitou sua cura (proporcionando-lhe o insight que desembaraça o setting). O capítulo I apresenta, por meio de um caso clínico paradigmático, situações que levaram ao questionamento de alguns lugares-comuns da teoria psicanalítica. O capítulo II nos introduz, à luz da Teoria dos Campos, nos principais conceitos com os quais enfrentar os impasses da prática clínica. O capítulo III mostra esses conceitos em ação no referido caso clínico, para chegar a uma conclusão acerca da interação entre analista (curador ferido) e paciente (discípulo que fere). Com isso, espera-se demonstrar a viabilidade de se retomar a postura freudiana dos primórdios, recolocando no centro da análise o paciente e seu discurso

This study examines the literary texts of the Ligurian writer Giuseppe Conte published between 1972 and 2005. In Part One, the reasons are considered which justify this research on Giuseppe Conte. This author is discussed in the context of the literary movements of the second half of the 20th century in Italy, with special reference to his approach to literature, which proposes a modern rewriting of myth. Conte is in fact a co-founder of "Mitomodernismo". "Mitomodernismo" is a literary movement, established in 1994 and currently still active, which aims to revive modern society through a spiritual rebirth promoted by a recovery of basic human values, as these appear within the boundaries already suggested by myth since antiquity. The Mitomodernisti propose an alternative which could assist contemporaries to overcome the obstacles created by modern "maladies", particularly in the West, whether these be socio-cultural, ecological, or religious. Throughout Conte's entire æuvre one clearly perceives this strong desire for rebirth which for the author is concretised in "Fare Anima", that is, a way to reconnecting with the universe, of rising towards the "light". This tension towards rebirth could be compared metaphorically to the quest for the Graal, which involves suffering as a way to redemption. The artist's visionary work is comparable to the extrasensory journey undertaken by the shaman during his trance. For this reason, in Part One of this study the figure of the shaman will also be examined in a socio-cultural context, in order to transfer it better to the literary context. The whole of Part Two is dedicated to an analysis of Conte's æuvre - poetry, novels and also, but only indirectly, essays and articles - in the light of his fundamental themes, which metaphorically turn the writer into a "shaman". The analysis is based on some concepts put forward by the Swiss psycho-analyst Carl Gustav Jung, such as the function and symbolism of myth in literature from a psychoanalytical perspective. RIASSUNTO In questo studio vengono prese in esame le opere dello scrittore ligure Giuseppe Conte, pubblicate dal 1972 al 2005. Nella Parte Prima vengono considerate le ragioni che giustificano questa ricerca su Giuseppe Conte. L'autore viene discusso nel contesto dei movimenti letterari del secondo Novecento in Italia, ed in particolare il suo approccio alla letteratura che propone una riscrittura del mito in chiave moderna. Lo scrittore è infatti uno dei cofondatori del "Mitomodernismo". Il "Mitomodernismo" è un movimento letterario che vide la luce nel 1994 e che è ancora attivo alla data attuale. Esso si prefigge di risanare la società moderna mediante una rinascita spirituale promossa dalla ripresa dei valori umani di base, simili a quelli suggeriti dal mito fin dai tempi antichi. A tutto ciò i Mitomodernisti propongono un'alternativa che aiuti l'uomo contemporaneo a superare gli impedimenti creati da queste "malattie" moderne, particolarmente nell'ambito occidentale, siano queste socioculturali, ecologiche, religiose, o altre. Attraverso tutta l'opera di Conte si percepisce chiaramente questo desiderio di rinascita che per lo scrittore si concretizza nel "Fare Anima", vale a dire in un modo di ricollegarsi al cosmo, di innalzarsi verso la "luce". Questa tensione verso la rinascita può venire metaforicamente comparata alla ricerca del Graal attraverso la sofferenza che redime. L'opera visionaria dell'artista è paragonabile al viaggio extrasensoriale intrapreso dallo sciamano durante la sua trance. Per questo motivo nella Prima Parte di questo studio si esamina la figura dello sciamano anche in ambito socioculturale per poterla poi meglio trasferire in quello letterario. La Parte Seconda è completamente dedicata all'analisi dell'opera contiana - poesie, romanzi e, trasversalmente, i saggi e gli articoli alla luce dei suoi temi portanti, che dello scrittore fanno metaforicamente uno "sciamano". L'analisi viene condotta basandosi su alcuni concetti elaborati dallo psicoanalista svizzero Carl Gustav Jung, quali la funzione ed il simbolismo del mito in letteratura da una prospettiva psicoanalitica. / Classics and Mod Euro Lang / D.

Studien handlar om patienters upplevelse av vilka fördelar och nackdelar det finns med att personal använder egna erfarenheter av ätstörningar som en resurs i vårdarbetet. Insamlingen av empirin genomfördes i form av åtta stycken kvalitativa intervjuer där forskaren intervjuade patienter som går i behandling för ätstörningar. Samtliga intervjupersoner hade varit i kontakt med personal som har egna erfarenheter av ätstörningar. Ämnet analysers utifrån teoretiska begrepp som erfarenhetskunskap, förståelse, bemötande, identifikation och att vara en förebild respektive överidentifikation, motöverföring samt självexponering. Resultatet visar att det finns flera fördelar med att personal använder egna erfarenheter av ätstörningar. Denna personal kan bland annat tillhandahålla en särskild resurs inom vårdarbetet, nämligen erfarenhetskunskap, vilket är en typ av kunskap som inte går att läsa sig till och som övrig personal därför inte kan bistå med. Patienterna upplever även att personal med egna erfarenheter av ätstörningar har en ökad förståelse för deras sjukdomssituation och kan hjälpa patienterna att förstå sig själva bättre genom att förklara varför de tänker, känner eller agerar på att visst sätt. Patienterna beskriver även att denna personal har ett bättre bemötande gentemot dem på så sätt att de får patienterna att inte känna sig lika utsatta i den hjälpsökande positionen samt har förmågan att se sjukdomen utifrån ett individuellt perspektiv istället för att enbart utgå ifrån diagnosens kännetecken. Deltagarna upplever att de kan identifiera sig med personalens sjukdomsupplevelse och resa till att bli frisk vilket leder till att patienterna lättare tar till sig denna personals budskap. Patienterna kan se anställda med egna erfarenheter av ätstörningar som förebilder eftersom att de lyckades bli friska och stå emot ätstörningen. Denna personal har även en förmåga att reducera patientens känsla av skam kring sjukdomen eftersom att den anställde själv har varit sjuk tidigare. Studiens resultat visar även att det finns nackdelar med att personal använder sig av sina egna erfarenheter av ätstörningar i vårdarbetet. En nackdel är när personalens arbete påverkas av överidentifikation vilket ges i uttryck när personalen antar saker som inte stämmer om patienters sjukdomstillstånd baserat på deras egna sjukdomsupplevelser, vilket skapar frustration hos patienten. Personalens motöverföring kan även påverka hur de utformar behandlingen eftersom att denna personal har en känslomässig koppling till sjukdomen vilket kan resultera i att det är svårare att ställa krav på patienterna. Patienterna beskriver även att personalens självexponering kan påverkar deras behandling negativt om personalen berättar något om sin tidigare sjukdomsupplevelse som kan ge patienten nya ätstörda idéer eller vara triggande. Alternativt om personalen fokuserar för mycket på att berätta om sina egna erfarenheter istället för att fokusera på patientens behandling. Om personalens självexponering uppfattas vara oprofessionell i patientens ögon kan det få vårdtagaren att tveka på den professionellas kompetens. / The study is about patients' experience of the advantages and disadvantages of staff using their own experience of eating disorders as a resource in the care work. The gathering if empiric was conducted in the form of eight qualitative interviews where the researcher interviewed patients undergoing treatment for eating disorders. All interviewees have previously been in contact with staff who have their own experience of eating disorders. The subject of the study is analyzed based on theoretical themes such as experience knowledge, understanding, treatment, identification, being a role model, over-identification, countertransference and self-disclosure. The results show that there are several benefits that staff use their own experience of eating disorders. This staff may, among other things, provide a special resource in the field of care, namely experience knowledge, which is a type of knowledge individuals can’t learn by reading, so other staff do not possess this knowledge. Patients also find that staff with their own experiences of eating disorders have a better understanding of their disease situation and can help patients to understand themselves better, by explaining why they think, feel or act in a certain way. Patients also describe that these staff treat them better, in a certain way that they make the patients feel less vulnerable in their care-seeking position and has the ability to see the disease from an individual perspective instead of being based solely on the diagnosis's characteristics. Participants find that they can identify themselves whit the staff's disease experience and travel to recovery, which leads to that the patients more easily receive this personals message. Patients can see employees with their own experience of eating disorders as role models, because they managed to get healthy and resist eating disorders. This staff also has the ability to reduce the patient's sense of shame about the disease, because the employee self has been ill previously. The study's results also show that there are disadvantages to staff using their own experience of eating disorders in the care word. On disadvantage is when staff work is affected by over-identification, which is expressed in terms of staff assuming things that do not match patient's disease state based on their own disease experiences, which causing the patient to feel frustrated. The countertransference of the staff can also affect how they design the treatment because these personal have an emotional link to the disease, which may result that it is more difficult to make demands to the patient. Patients also describe that staffs’ self-disclosure may adversely affect their treatment if the staff tells something about their own previous disease experience that can give the patient new eating ideas or be triggering. Alternatively, the staff focus too much on telling their own experiences instead of focusing on the patient's treatment. If the self-disclosure of the staff is perceived to be unprofessional in the patient's eyes, it may cause that the patient will be doubtful about their professional competence.

Art therapy and narrative therapy techniques are both used separately in treating sexual abuse, however they are not often used together. This heuristic study explores the experience of a wounded healer when using art within a narrative therapy process, specifically storytelling, to support healing from multigenerational incestuous abuse. This researcher used a science fiction story she is currently writing, to stimulate 8 reflections on the parallels in that story and in her personal trauma narrative, and then made adjoining art pieces about the reflections. The data was analyzed to find themes, such as protection, anger and fear. The art helped support the story by documenting the journey of wound healing. Both the art and text informed the creative synthesis, which exemplified this researcher’s process of forming her identity as a wounded healer. The parallels found in the science fiction story helped reveal and enlighten this researcher’s own trauma narrative and encourage self actualization. This study supports the use of art and storytelling with survivors of multi-generational incestuous abuse.

Children detained in juvenile detention centers in the United States are a unique population. They are neither incarcerated, nor are they free to live in society. Although some popular literature does exist on juvenile detention, such literature is minimal. Further, there are few research studies on this population in any field of inquiry. Indeed the entire subject of juvenile detention has been largely overlooked by research scientists, as well as theologians. The focus of this empirical study is the theology and spirituality of children in a single juvenile detention center in New Jersey, US. Currently, there are no studies on this topic. This study begins to address that void and represents the first theological research of its kind on this population. The methodological approach of the thesis is multi-disciplinary. While the study addresses theology and spirituality as separate categories, it also integrates theology with research in psychology and clinical mental health. The project itself consists of 200 individual, face-to-face interviews with male juvenile residents detained in the Ocean County Juvenile Detention Center, Toms River, New Jersey, US. An original questionnaire has been developed by the author as a research tool. This empirical research adds to the academic literature on children in juvenile detention centers in the United States and recommends ways that staff may communicate with children to begin a theological dialogue. Further, this thesis offers a specific methodology and research tool to be duplicated for use in other juvenile detention centers toward working with children in a concrete, evidence-based, spiritual context. v This study also includes a chapter on the evolution of the author’s spirituality and theology in the course of the project and attempts to locate the self of the researcher within the study. Finally, this thesis presents an outline for a new hermeneutic in working with children in a juvenile detention setting. This new approach represents a practical step toward bridging an existing gap between a stated need for a new hermeneutic for working with children in theological literature and its inception. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D.
