Heidegger and Freud
My comment on the interdisciplinary study of Heidegger and Freud by Shoshani et al. is focused on the semantic and conceptual differences between these thinkers concerning the meaning of truth and the role of anxiety. Heidegger emphasizes truth as a philosophical goal, whereas for Freud truth is a challenge to study the dynamic functions of the human mind by avoiding predetermined answers. The authors describe convincingly how Heidegger and Freud…
At the crossroads of psychoanalysis and neuroscience
During recent years, the neurosciences have entered into a dialogue with psychoanalysis, which has opened new perspectives for their integration. Despite these developments, reservations remain concerning the reducing effects of the neurosciences by overtly or covertly hiding the core elements of psychoanalysis. However, Freud made an explicit parallel between psychoanalysis and physics in their relationship with the unknown reality, and in their…

Dimensions in the dialogue between psychoanalysis and neuroscience
The relations between psychoanalysis and neuroscience have undergone considerable changes during the last two decades. From the cool distance that was maintained on both sides, a new neuroscientific basis has emerged for a dialogue between psychoanalysis and neuroscience. A crucial question then arises about the identity of psychoanalysis in this dialogue. What will be the effects of the growing impact of neuroscientific discoveries on psychoanal…

The Association of Parental Alcohol Abuse and Depression with Severe Emotional and Behavioural Problems in Adolescents
Background: Earlier studies have indicated associations between parental psychiatric problems, such as depression, and substance abuse and adolescent problems. Aims: This study aimed to determine whether parental psychiatric problems are associated with problems and problem behaviour in adolescents in a clinical sample. Methods: The study subjects were 70 outpatient adolescents (age 13–18 years, boys 30%) and their parents. The adolescents were a…
Nascent body ego
For Freud, body ego was the organizing basis of the structural theory. He defined it as a psychic projection of the body surface. Isakower's and Lewin's classical findings suggest that the body surface experiences of nursing provide the infant with sensory-affective stimulation that initiates a projection of sensory processes towards the psychic realm. During nursing, somato-sensory, gustatory and olfactory modalities merge with a primitive somat…
Clinical recovery in cognitive functioning and self-image among adolescents with major depressive disorder and conduct disorder during psychiatric inpatient care
This prospective study examined psychosocial and cognitive functioning among adolescents with major depressive disorder and conduct disorder under comprehensive psychiatric inpatient care. Nonverbal and general cognitive performance, self-image, and overall psychosocial functioning improved in both groups. Nevertheless, more changes in self-image and family functioning were found among patients with major depressive disorder. Mental health servic…
Effect of Major Depression on the Self-Image of Adolescent Boys and Girls
Depression is strongly associated with alexithymia in the general population
Is It Possible To Adapt To the Suicide of a Close Individual? Results of a 10-Year Prospective Follow-Up Study
We conducted a prospective ten-year follow-up study on the consequences of a suicide among relatives or other individuals close to the suicide victim. Baseline interviews (n = 104) were carried out during the National Suicide Prevention Project in Finland from 1987 to 1988. Semi-structured follow-up interviews including the 12- item General Health Questionnaire and the 21-item Beck Depression Inventory were carried out ten years later (n = 64, 64…
The rôle of psychoanalysis as theoretical system and treatment method in future psychiatry
Associations between Religious Attendance, Social Support, and Depression in Psychiatric Patients
Religious attendance and social support have been found to be positively associated with mental well-being, although this may be threatened by depression. Here we studied whether religious attendance was associated with mildness of depression and whether social support explained this association among 1,179 patients in community mental health services in Kuopio province, Finland. More women (20%) than men (11%) attended religious events regularly…
