Psychoanalytic Observations Near the End of Life
Mort, rajeunissement et vie éternelle dans La maison du lac, La chatte sur un toit brûlant, Cocoon
Cet article cherche à mettre en lumière les adaptations nécessaires au moment de la vieillesse en s'appuyant sur l'exemple de trois films hollywoodiens. Cela consiste : 1. à faire tout son possible pour se maintenir en bonne forme physique ; 2. à s'accommoder de sa vie de mortel ; 3. à maintenir une activité et une vie sexuelle ; 4. à devenir sage. Parmi les autres défis que doit affronter un individu arrivé à cette étape de sa vie, figurent la p…
The Central Masturbation Fantasy in Heterosexual Males Across the Life Cycle: Masturbation Fantasies Across the Normality-Pathology Spectrum
Moses Laufer described the central masturbation fantasy as an essentially adolescent phenomenon that leads to the final sexual organization. In this paper the central masturbation fantasy, formulated during the preoedipal and oedipal years, consolidated in adolescence, and in a process of continuous evolution across the life cycle, is considered an essential concept for understanding sexuality in heterosexual males. Sex and aggression, as posited…
Death, Rejuvenation and Immortality in Film: On Golden Pond (1981), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) and Cocoon (1985)
The Absence of a Future: The Effect of Past Experience and Current Developmental Conflicts On a Midlife Analysis
The four-year analysis of Mr. T., a highly intelligent, successful professional who entered analysis primarily because of a depression is presented; he had had no previous therapeutic experience but was very curious about analysis. The analytic work led to the discovery of a deeply held unconscious conviction of premature death that was related to interaction among the effects of a traumatic parental divorce during childhood, estrangement from bo…
The Evolution of Paternal Identity in Late Adulthood
The experience of fatherhood in late adulthood has received little attention in the psychoanalytic literature. After a presentation of the literature on fatherhood and a consideration of the developmental tasks of late adulthood in which the experience of fatherhood is embedded, the dynamically charged, developmentally conflicted nature of the relationships between late-life fathers and their children is explored. A basic premise is that the chan…
Separation-Individuation Phenomena in Adulthood: General Concepts and the Fifth Individuation
The elaboration of separation-individuation theory in the years beyond childhood has been a psychoanalytic focus for several decades. In this paper, the nature of separation-individuation phenomena in adulthood and the terminology and controversy surrounding the use of the terms third, fourth, and fifth individuation are considered first; a detailed elaboration of the concept of the fifth individuation in late adulthood follows
The Development of Time Sense in Middle Adulthood
The focus of this paper is on the normal, intrapsychic, subjective experience of time in a developmental context. Time sense in middle age is determined less by the chronological age markers of forty or sixty and more by powerful, complex dynamic factors. Issues such as physical aging and illness, relationship to spouse and children, death of parents, and retirement will be explored in terms of how time is experienced
Normality and the Life Cycle
The Development of time Sense: From Object Constancy to Adolescence
A developmental line of time sense during the oedipal phase and latency is described. Subjective lime sense is seen as constantly evolving, shaped by the emergence of cognitive capacities, significant emotional themes, and environmental influences. Temporal development during these phases is unique because the capacity to tell objective time is present for the first time. Significant emotional influences are the Oedipus complex, infantile neurosi…
