Sensoriality and thought. In development and in psychopathology
This paper addresses certain aspects of the role of sensoriality in psychic functioning and, in particular, seeks to compare child sensoriality - a natural component of development that precedes the ability to think - and the perceptual-sensorial distortion that occurs in certain pathological conditions. In the course of severe psychic disorders such as psychosis, and in other respects in post-traumatic conditions, the mind is invaded by sensoria…

The authors that I have considered share a focus mostly on the early stages of child de…
Hallucinations in the psychotic state
In this contribution, which takes account of important findings in neuroscientific as well as psychoanalytic research, the authors explore the meaning of the deep-going distortions of psychic functioning occurring in hallucinatory phenomena.

The present authors postul…
Memory in dreams

In 1900, Freud described a category of dreams--which he called 'biographical dreams'--that reflect historical infantile experience without the typical defensive function. Many authors agree that some traumatic dreams perform a function …
