Negative feelings toward borderline patients
Waiting for Resonance with the Unconscious
This is a reply to discussions by Elizabeth Corpt and Gary Rodin. Building on both commentators, we may say that the middlespace between activity and passivity is an important area for psychoanalytic practice in general. As analysts, we exercise medio-passive agency prior to all intervention in waiting for resonance with the unconscious. The author outlines a concept of resonance in the analytic relationship by appropriating elements from Hartmut…

We can reconstruct from Lear’s study on radical hope a mutually constitutive interplay between hope and creativity. The agency exercised in hope and creativity is medio-passive: the clinical agent incorporates an experience of powerlessness into her response to an ongoing internal process, she let…
Early farmers from across Europe directly descended from Neolithic Aegeans
Significance One of the most enduring and widely debated questions in prehistoric archaeology concerns the origins of Europe’s earliest farmers: Were they the descendants of local hunter-gatherers, or did they migrate from southwestern Asia, where farming began? We recover genome-wide DNA sequences from early farmers on both the European and Asian sides of the Aegean to reveal an unbroken chain of ancestry leading from central and southwestern Eu…

The analyses identify a Neolithic freshwater fish–eating hunter-gatherer group, liv…
