The absent father in the transference
Using a case study of early psychic trauma as his starting point, the author analyses the significance of the father in the constitution of the human mind. Representing reality beyond the early fusion with the mother, the father as an absent “other” signifies a threat to the child, which is re-actualised in the primal scene. However, the traumatic locus is not the perception of the parents' sexual relationship per se, but the infant's premature c…
On destructive drive phenomena
The author approaches human aggression from the viewpoint of extreme psychic trauma in which the ego is left defenceless at the mercy of crude drive phenomena. This emergency signifies the collapse of the capacity for psychic representation and for dealing with drive impulses at the metaphorical level. After this collapse, the pleasure principle will be replaced by another mode of psychic regulation to which Freud provided a theoretical descripti…
Understanding psychotic disorder
Understanding another person's mind is based on a shared frame of reference that derives from primary identification. In a psychotic disorder, this metaphorical configuration becomes damaged, leaving the ego in a state of extreme helplessness. To safeguard at least a minimum of psychic survival in this situation, the helpless ego resorts to a delusion that will form a surrogate frame of reference, which is no longer linked to primary identificati…

The hypothesis is that, in a serious depression, as well as in traumatic states in general, the genuine affect tends to be diss…
