The purpose of the study is to examine and problematize how the ego affects musicians and dancers. Important factors that shape the ego is the artists educational background and experience within the artistic subjekt. Hence, the purpose is also to find out how these factors affecting the ego. I wanted other artists practitioners’ thoughts on the subjekt, therefore I chose to interview four people, two musicians and two dancers. My informants were to be college-educated, active and have a minimum of 20 years experience in music or 10 years experience in dance. I asked questions based on the following sub-headings: Education and Practice, Teaching, Ego and Identity and Vision for the future. In the study, I describe one person at a time and to further strengthen the informants’ statements I complement with literature. In the analyze section I comparing their different statements with each other and interpreters informants responses and in the discussion section, I comparing their different statements with each other as well as with my own thoughts and to the relevant literature. According to my interpretation all informants have basically the same idea of how they look on the ego. Yet, the dancers seems more troubled by the ego than the musicians. Educational background and experience are factors that has shaped my informants ego where their teachers have been one of the sources to inspiration. It has been interesting to take part of my informants views because they have inspired me to further thinking and have also helped me feel more confident about my own musical practice. I hope this is a study that can be beneficial to anyone who has ever reflected on any subjekt, artistic or not. / Syftet med studien är att undersöka och problematisera hur jaget påverkar musiker och dansare. Viktiga faktorer som formar jaget är utbildningsbakgrund och erfarenhet inom det konstnärliga ämnet. Därför åsyftas att även ta reda på hur de faktorerna påverkar jaget. Jag ville ha andra konstnärliga utövares tankar om ämnet därför valde jag att intervjua fyra personer, två musiker och två dansare. Mina informanter skulle vara högskoleutbildade, aktiva och ha minst 20 års erfarenhet inom musik eller 10 års erfarenhet inom dans. Jag ställde frågor utifrån följande underrubriker: Utbildning och Verksamhet, Undervisning, Jaget och Identiteten och Framtidsvision. I uppsatsen redogör jag för en person i taget och för att ytterligare stärka informanternas utsagor kompletterar jag med litteratur. I analysdelen jämför jag och tolkar informanternas svar och i diskussionsdelen kopplar jag jämförelsen och mina tankar till relevant litteratur. Enligt min tolkning så har alla informanterna i stort sett samma tanke om hur de ser på jaget. Dock verkar dansarna mer besvärade av jaget än musikerna. Utbildning och erfarenhet är faktorer som har format deras ”jag” där deras lärare har varit en av inspirationskällorna. Jag tycker det har varit intressant att lyssna till informanterna eftersom de har gett mig uppslag till att tänka vidare och bidragit till att jag nu känner mig tryggare i mitt eget musicerande. Jag hoppas att det här är ett arbete som kan vara till nytta för alla som någon gång haft en fundering kring ett konstnärligt ämne eller icke konstnärligt ämne.

[pt] Esta tese propõe-se a refletir sobre o sofrimento humano na contemporaneidade. O maior empenho foi no sentido de não cometer generalizações apressadas, quase sempre reducionistas. Para tanto, procurou-se estabelecer uma interlocução com psicanalistas que, assim como nós, reconhecem que determinados tratamentos são refratários ao modelo clássico da psicanálise e, por isso, estão dispostos a ampliar o seu repertório teórico-clínico seguindo as pegadas de Freud, sem destituir jamais o seu legado. Privilegiaram-se, a partir da leitura da psicanalista Piera Aulagnier, as noções de violência, pictograma, alienação e paixão. A ideia de narcisismo moral, um dos destinos do conceito de narcisismo desde Freud, segundo o psicanalista André Green, foi também apresentada. Queremos supor que, realizado o percurso descrito, podemos sustentar a convicção de que precisamos continuar escutando o sujeito que sofre e não o sujeito contemporâneo, posto que só o primeiro é passível de tratamento. / [en] This thesis intends to reflect on the human suffering in the nowadays. The main effort was to avoid generalizations, which are frequently very limited. We attempted to establish a dialogue with analysts who acknowledge the fact that certain treatments resist the classical frame of psychoanalytic treatment. These analysts are willing to expand their theoretical and clinical repertoire without abandonning Freud`s legacy. From the work of Piera Aulagnier, we singled out the concepts of violence, pictogram, alienation and passion. The notion of moral narcisism, according to André Green formulations, was also presented. By going through the ideas mentioned above, we would like to state that we must keep listening to the human being who is suffering and not to the contemporary man, since only the former is eligible to undergo a psychoanalytic treatment.

L’obésité est un véritable problème de santé publique. De nombreuses études ont été menées à l’échelle de l’individu mais le phénomène ne cesse de s’amplifier surtout chez les enfants et les adolescents. Nous proposons donc un angle de vue différent à savoir l’étude du fonctionnement familial en vue d’apporter un nouveau sens au symptôme en le resituant au cœur des relations intersubjectives. Pour cela, nous avons opté pour une perspective psychanalytique à travers l’utilisation d’outils projectifs spécifiquement groupaux à savoir l’épreuve de génographie projective (ou dessin libre de l’arbre généalogique) et l’épreuve de spatiographie projective (ou dessin de la maison de rêve). Ces outils, par un processus de projection, investiguent les dimensions diachronique et synchronique permettant une approche complète de l’image inconsciente du corps familial. Nous avons donc effectué une étude longitudinale sur 43 familles dont un adolescent est atteint d’obésité. Les résultats mettent en évidence une grande fragilité du groupe familial notamment en ce qui concerne son enveloppe. Sur le plan des liens intersubjectifs, nous avons repéré une indifférenciation psychique conduisant à des liens de type isomorphique. Enfin, nous avons repéré que la séparation entre l’adolescent et sa famille s’est effectuée sur un mode traumatique venant réactiver des traumas anciens. Ainsi, les familles mettent en place d’importantes résistances vis-à-vis du changement de l’un des leurs, contraignant l’adolescent à reprendre sa place en reprenant le poids perdu dans le but de préserver l’homéostasie familiale / Obesity has become a real health problem. So far, research has only considered obesity in an individual point of view, but this scourge is still getting increasing, especially among children and teenagers. For this reason, we have decided to bring a new point of view and focus upon the family and the way its members behave with one another, thus placing obesity at the heart of inter-subjective relationships. Hence we chose a psychoanalytical perspective and used groupal projective tools, the projective genography test (a free drawing of a family tree) and the family projective spatiography test (a drawing of the dream house). These projective tests examine the diachronic and synchronic dimensions and materialize a unconscious picture of the family body. We therefore carried out a longitudinal study with a representative sample of 43 families whose teenager suffered from obesity. The results show how weak and vulnerable the envelope of the family group can be. Concerning intersubjective bonds, we spotted a psychic undifferenciation leading to isomorphic relationships. Finally, we noticed that the teenage having been separated from his family proved to be traumatic, and that it reactivated former traumas. Thus families build strong strategies of resistance to counteract the fact that one member is changing, forcing the teenager to regain his previous position within the family, by regaining weight, in order to maintain family homeostasis

Les schémas précoces inadaptés sont associés à différentes pathologies psychologiques et en sont parfois à l'origine et/ou la cause de leur maintien. Cependant, les schémas précoces inadaptés ne sont pas les seuls à l'œuvre en fonction des pathologies ; ils sont en lien avec le coping, le contrôle du moi et les croyances. Le but de ce travail est l'amélioration de la compréhension de l'activation des schémas précoces inadaptés ainsi que l'influence des facteurs psychopathologiques et cognitifs dans une population générale, chez les douloureux chroniques, chez les futurs parents et dans une population souffrant de troubles du comportement alimentaire. Une première étude quantitative a été réalisée afin de mettre en évidence l'activation des schémas précoces inadaptés et leurs relations avec les stratégies de coping et contrôle du moi auprès d'une population générale. Une seconde étude a été réalisée dans le but de mettre en évidence l'activation des schémas précoces inadaptés et leurs liens avec les stratégies de coping et le contrôle du moi chez les futurs parents. Une troisième étude a été menée afin de démontrer l'activation des schémas précoces inadaptés en relation avec la représentation du corps et les troubles alimentaires. Et une quatrième étude a été élaborée dans le but de tester l'hypothèse d'une activation des schémas précoces inadaptés en relation avec la représentation de la douleur dans une population tunisienne. Des corrélations significatives ont été observées entre les stratégies de coping et les schémas précoces inadaptés ainsi qu'entre le contrôle du moi et les schémas précoces inadaptés et aussi entre les stratégies de coping et le contrôle du moi. / Early maladaptive schemas (EMS) are associated with different forms of psychopathology being not only a source of its manifestation but also a means for maintaining maladaptive behaviour. It is likely that EMS are not the only element linked to psychopathology; coping, irrational beliefs, and ego control are likely linked to both schemas and maladaptive behaviour. The objective of this work was to better understand activation of EMS as well as the influence of cognitive and psychopathological factors in the general population, in individuals suffering from chronic debilitating pain, in future parents, and in those suffering from eating disorders. The objective of the first study is the EMS activation and their relationship to coping strategies and ego control in the general population. The second study explores the expression of EMS in future parents and identify the relationship between EMS, coping, and ego control. The third study is about the EMS activation in relationship to body image and the manifestation of eating disorder sand. The fourth one studies EMS in relationship to chronic pain in a Tunisian sample. Significant and meaningful correlations were found between coping strategies, ego control and EMS. Gender differences were also identified and explored.

Children exhibit neotenous, or physically immature, features, such as a large rounded head relative to body size, adult-sized eyes, round cheeks, a small chin, and a short narrow nose. Bowlby (1969) and others (Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1989; Hrdy, 2005) propose that, in species whose young depend on care from an adult, these features could enhance offspring survival. Lorenz (1943) argued that adult humans are particularly attracted to these features, and that these characteristics, which he termed Kindchenschema or “baby schema,” trigger a cognitive system that processes and reacts specifically to infantile features for the purpose of enhancing motivation to engage in caretaking behaviors. The goal of the studies proposed here is to examine the behavioral, attentional, and emotional effects of baby schema. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

As the first specific objective, there were submitted, from data collected in interviews, the aspects of the schizo-paranoid position and their repercussions in the manner that act serial killers, in this way, investigating the role of destructive fantasies, of defenses, besides the questions about the object-victims, passing by the theme of hate. The second specific objective was to study, from data collected in interviews, the ancient super-ego and its modes of action in those points related to sadism, to the criminal tendency, and the implications of the ancient super-ego on the psyche of the serial killers, besides the compulsion to repetition in the compulsive act of serial killers. The last of the objectives was the development of an interrelation between the data collected in the interview and the role of stunning in the psyche on the ancient superego demands. Search relevancy is justified, among other reasons, by the fact that it does not exist yet, in Brazil, psychoanalytic readings on this theme, in despite of the growing number of serial homicides and the need for improvement of clinical methods of early approach to children and adolescents who exhibit cases antisocial features. Such studies were marked out especially by kleinian and post-kleinian theoretical structure. It was noted that the psychic configuration of the serial killers, based on the model of ancient super-ego, takes them to destructive behaviors displayed in front of the victims, in particular, the ability to stunning. The data were obtained through interviews with serial killers prisoners in penitentiary units of the States of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo / O presente estudo objetivou, de modo geral, investigar, sob um enfoque psicanalítico, os principais processos que caracterizam a constituição da subjetividade dos assassinos seriais, relacionando-os ao papel que neles têm o superego arcaico e os efeitos da sideração. Como primeiro objetivo específico, foram apresentados, a partir dos dados colhidos nas entrevistas, os elementos relacionados à posição esquizo-paranóide1 e suas repercussões no agir dos assassinos em série, neste sentido, investigando o papel das fantasias destrutivas , das defesas, além das questões referentes às vítimas-objeto, passando pelo tema do ódio. O segundo objetivo específico foi estudar, a partir dos dados colhidos nas entrevistas, o superego arcaico e seus modos de atuação, naquilo que se relacionam ao sadismo, à tendência criminosa e implicações do superego arcaico no psiquismo dos assassinos em série, além da compulsão à repetição no agir compulsivo dos homicidas seriais. O último dos objetivos, foi o desenvolvimento de uma interrelação entre os dados colhidos na entrevista e o papel da sideração no psiquismo diante das demandas do superego arcaico. A relevância da pesquisa justifica-se, entre outras razões, pelo fato de ainda não existirem, no Brasil, investigações psicanalíticas sobre este tema, apesar do número crescente de homicídios seriais e da necessidade de aperfeiçoamento dos métodos clínicos de abordagem precoce a crianças e adolescentes que apresentam quadros de característica antissocial. Tais estudos foram balizados, especialmente, pelo arcabouço teórico kleiniano e pós-kleiniano. Observou-se que a configuração psíquica dos homicidas em série, embasada sob os moldes do superego arcaico, leva-os aos comportamentos destrutivos apresentados diante das vítimas, em especial, à capacidade de sideração. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas com assassinos seriais reclusos em unidades prisionais dos Estados do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo

A positive psychosocial intervention comprised of high autonomy support, task-involvement, and caring was implemented in physical activity classes to examine its effects on college women’s basic psychological needs (i.e. autonomy, competence, relatedness), exercise regulations (i.e. external, introjected, identified, integrated, intrinsic) and social physique anxiety (SPA). We hypothesized that at the end of the semester, participants in the intervention group (N = 73) would report greater need satisfaction, more self-determined regulations and less SPA than participants in the non-intervention group (N = 60). At T1 and T2, both the intervention and non-intervention participants reported “agreeing” with experiencing an autonomy supportive, task-involving, and caring environment. Furthermore, both groups at T1 and T2 reported moderate SPA. No significant group differences were found at T1. At T2, significant group differences were observed in the intervention and non-intervention groups’ report of external regulation and intrinsic regulation. The results suggests that group exercise instructors are capable of creating a positive psychosocial environment to enhance students’ intrinsic motivation.

It is an unusual situation, where one ovule is divided in two, causing, then, the creation of two identical human beings: exactly the same sanguineous group, physical enzymes, proteins, physical characteristics and pathological trends: human being in duplicate. This situation represents another challenge for the parents in the performance of maternity and paternity proper tasks. The double births guide them to life mysteries - the reproduction and the intrauterine space. When parents stand out the equal equalities in their choices of similar names, clothes and toys, actually they are denying the pair, considering them as if they were only one such attitudes lead to future consequences For the proper twin, it represents one more difficulty related to the achievement of a unique and singular identity, since they mutually follow themselves, without being illusion or hallucination. As a result they face some questions: Which are the consequences of living in the privacy of the identical and having to compose and recognize themselves as exterior and different? How to obtain a proper place in their parents desire, the family and later in the social environment, in spite of the false recognizing and the confusions of all, incapable of a steady differentiation? This present study is based on the thought of Sigmund Freud and other psychoanalyst authors, as, Otto Rank, André Green, Jacques Lacan, René Kaes, Joyce McDougall, Eduardo Braier, Beatriz Salzberg, Bernard Tanis, Renato Mezan, Maria Rita Kehl and others who contribute for the clarification of the questions involving twins: the specular images, the shadows, spirits, the idea of soul, the strange question about the double and identical, the narcissism experience and the fraternity complex. The used method is the conceptual analysis of the selected texts and clinical material placed in discussion and it has the Psychoanalyst Clinic as elementary and purpose / Esta dissertação procura esclarecer a especificidade dos nascimentos gemelares e possíveis conseqüências tanto no imaginário parental quanto dos próprios gêmeos. Trata-se de uma situação não-habitual onde um óvulo se divide em dois ocasionando, então, a formação de dois seres em tudo idênticos: mesmo grupo sanguíneo, enzimas, proteínas, características físicas e tendências patológicas: seres em duplicatas. Para os pais representa um desafio a mais no desempenho das tarefas próprias da maternidade e paternidade. Os nascimentos duplos os colocam frente aos mistérios da vida, da reprodução, e do espaço intrauterino. Quando os pais ressaltam as igualdades nas escolhas de nomes similares, roupas e brinquedos iguais, na verdade estariam negando a dupla, tratando-os como se fossem uma coisa só atitudes plenas de conseqüências para o futuro. Para os próprios gêmeos representa uma dificuldade a mais no sentido da aquisição de identidade única e singular uma vez que os gêmeos se acompanham mutuamente sem ser ilusão ou alucinação. Assim eles são defrontados com algumas questões: Quais as conseqüências de viver na intimidade do idêntico e ter que se constituir e se reconhecer como exterior e diferente?; Como conseguir um lugar próprio no desejo dos pais, na família e depois no social, apesar dos falsos reconhecimentos e das confusões de todos incapazes de uma diferenciação estável? Esta dissertação está fundamentada no pensamento de Sigmund Freud e outros autores psicanalíticos como Otto Rank, André Green, Jacques Lacan, René Kaes, Joyce McDougall, Eduardo Braier, Beatriz Salzberg, Bernard Tanis, Renato Mezan, Maria Rita Kehl e outros que contribuem para o esclarecimento das questões que os gêmeos nos suscitam: as imagens especulares, as sombras, os espíritos, a idéia de alma, a estranha questão do duplo e idêntico, a experiência narcísica e o complexo fraterno, O método utilizado é a análise conceitual dos textos selecionados e material clínico colocado em discussão e tem a Clínica Psicanalítica como fundamento e destino

Thus being, the present research has as objective to appraise and to describe the process of constitution of itself - exactly healthful to the light of the winnicottiana theory of the human matureness. Initially the author intends to elucidate some of the concepts central offices of the winnicottiana theory; the relation mother - baby, the enough good environment, playing, the transitions objects, concepts of health and illness, the external reality, the spontaneous, the creativity, amongst others, with intention to present the theory and to explicate the bases for the constitution of the one healthful. In view of that the constitution of itself - exactly is the result of inherent the integrative trend to the human being the author intends to describe the theory of the matureness and its evolutions periods of training, as well as citing and explicate some of the processes that are basic for the healthful emotional development of a child. Finally the importance of playing and the creative experience is detached, with the exposition of clinical cases winnicottianos, so that the child feels itself as to be alive and real capable of the relation with itself keeping satisfactory interpersonal relations / Winnicott contribui significativamente para as bases teóricas e prática da psicanálise infantil ao postular sua teoria do amadurecimento humano. Assim sendo, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo conceituar e descrever o processo de constituição do si-mesmo saudável à luz da teoria winnicottiana do amadurecimento humano. Inicialmente o autor pretende elucidar alguns dos conceitos centrais da teoria winnicottiana; a relação mãe bebê, o ambiente suficientemente bom, o brincar, os objetos transicionais, conceitos de saúde e doença, a realidade externa, a espontaneidade, a criatividade, dentre outros, com o intuito de apresentar a teoria e explicitar as bases para a constituição de um si-mesmo saudável. Tendo em vista que a constituição do si- mesmo é o resultado da tendência integrativa inerente ao ser humano o autor pretende descrever a teoria do amadurecimento e seus estágios evolutivos, bem como citar e explicitar alguns dos processos que são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento emocional saudável de uma criança. Por fim é destacada a importância do brincar e da experiência criativa, com a exposição de casos clínicos winnicottianos, para que a criança sinta-se como ser vivo e real capaz de se relacionar com si mesmo e manter relações interpessoais satisfatórias

For this, we take investigative via psyquic unconscious determinations that, as observed in present clinical practice, it is also confirmed important in the reviewed literature. In the last one, the most important findings signaled an important relationship between identification processes and the various choices we make throughout life. These findings led us to question about how psychoanalysis understands these processes and how they are involved in building the career choice of teenagers. From the referential Freudian and Lacanian, we have studied the concepts of adolescence and identification, which articulated the process of career choice and fragments of clinical cases, allowed us to reach conclusions that point to the deep involvement of the dimension of desire and the unconscious in issues regarding career choices and the possibility of building a listening, of the difficulties found there, more attentive to the psychic determinations and singular responses that each presents in front of these determinations / Este trabalho busca compreender as dificuldades e os impasses que permeiam a escolha profissional de adolescentes e jovens. Para isso, tomamos como via investigativa as determina??es ps?quicas inconscientes, que, constatadas como presentes na pr?tica cl?nica, tamb?m se confirmaram importantes na literatura revisada. Nessa, os achados mais relevantes sinalizaram para uma importante rela??o entre os processos identificat?rios e as diversas escolhas que fazemos no decorrer da vida. Tais achados levaram-nos a questionamentos sobre como a Psican?lise compreende tais processos e o modo como eles se implicam na constru??o da escolha profissional de adolescentes e jovens. A partir do referencial freudiano e lacaniano, fizemos um estudo dos conceitos de adolesc?ncia e identifica??o, os quais, articulados ao processo de escolha profissional e a fragmentos de casos cl?nicos, permitiram-nos chegar a conclus?es que apontam para o profundo envolvimento da dimens?o do desejo e do inconsciente, nas quest?es relativas ?s escolhas profissionais, e para a possibilidade de constru??o de uma escuta, das dificuldades a? surgidas, mais atenta ?s determina??es ps?quicas e ?s respostas singulares que cada um apresenta frente a essas determina??es
