The Prenatal in Lacan’s Borromean Knot
On the phenomenality of thought – the nature of thinking and the corresponding physical pathways
The article presents some ideas about the phenomenality of thoughts. We understand the phenomenal as the pure presence without symbolic (i.e., verbal) determination. In this respect, the phenomenal comprises the imaginary such as images, sounds, smells, tastes, touch and feelings as well as the felt atmosphere (i.e., one's feelings that fill a space beyond the boundary of the body). The phenomenal represents the earliest form of thinking. At this…
Traces of the transplantation complex in Jean-Luc Nancy’s body-ontological work
Lung transplantation is a complex psychodynamic process. In a prior study, the authors investigated 40 patients who had just undergone lung transplant operations. Using the analysis of a dream, they elaborated what they termed the "transplantation complex". They also demonstrated that references are made to this transplantation complex in the further interviews of the total sample. In this paper, they examine whether aspects of the transplantatio…
Veiling and unveiling
This qualitative study addresses the question of how a background of migration, nationalization, and globalization influences young Muslim women residing in Germany who form their identity and position themselves successfully in modern society. It includes 25 interviews with young Muslim women in the age group 18–25 years whose parents or grandparents migrated to Germany from Turkey. In terms of how their identity has evolved, the participants re…

On the Psychodynamics of Wearing a Headscarf Among Young Muslim Women Living in Germany-New Heterogeneous Poles of Subjectivity
The wearing of a headscarf and the veiling especially of the female face or the whole body is a universal phenomenon that occurs in different eras and in different regions and cultures. Today, wearing a headscarf has become a symbol of Islam, especially in Western countries, and is often met with Islamophobic rejection. In our study, using a qualitative interview, we questioned 25 young Muslim women of Turkish origin (between 18 and 25 years old,…
Surmoi vs Fairplay – Essai sur une politique de la psychanalyse
L’ambition de cet article est d’esquisser « une politique de la psychanalyse » dont l’objectif est de transformer la société. Nous partirons de la mise en acte de sensations sans représentation. Cette mise en acte produira-t-elle des actes justes ou injustes ? Nous opposerons ces mises en acte à celles liées au surmoi. Au cœur de notre réflexion se trouvent la question de la liberté de choix et l’idée qu’un choix rationnel libre ne peut surgir qu…
Racial discrimination, objectalisation and reactive disobjectalisation—Pathways of integration for young Muslims in Germany
This paper aims to investigate the relationship between contending objectalisation, reactive disobjectalisation and radicalization tendencies during the integration of 50 young Muslims in Germany. The largest group of people who have a history of migration in Germany are people of Turkish and Kurdish origin. During the summer and autumn of 2018, we interviewed 50 individuals from both genders aged from 18 to 25 years old. We saw that negative or …
The Inner and the Outer Foreign Territory— A Qualitative Study Measuring Ambiguity Tolerance Within Young Muslims Living in Germany
Against the backdrop of globalisation on the one hand and nationalisation on the other, the question of tolerance of ambiguity, i.e. of tolerating cultural ambiguity and vagueness, is of particular importance. This qualitative study investigates what tolerance of ambiguity means in a group of 50 young Turkish Muslims living in Germany. A high tolerance of ambiguity is mentioned much more frequently in the interviews than a low tolerance of ambigu…
The Crises of Oedipus
This article describes the various crises of the Oedipus complex. In the beginning, I address the crisis of the first traumatic days when Oedipus was to be abandoned in the wilderness. This early breakdown takes place at what may be denoted as stage zero. During this first crisis, the defensive solution is an act of doubling, according to Quinodoz's dédoublement of the parental pair, accompanied by the defenses of splitting, foreclosure, and anni…
Stop moving! Pain, body and trauma in pictures and narratives of patients, suffering with a somatoform disorder
Somatoform pain disorders are strongly associated with adverse, mostly traumatic childhood experiences. Little is known, however, about the psychodynamic background, for example, with regard to defence, affect regulation, and traumatic representations. As part of a qualitative study in which 13 patients with somatoform disorder were investigated, we compared the interviews and drawings by the two patients which featured the most pictorial codes f…
“Impossible objects” in a life‐threatening crisis
Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are considered as risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI). It is unknown how ACE affects the experience of MI patients. In a qualitative study, a total of 25 MI patients with and without ACE (ACE: n = 20, N‐ACE: n = 5) were asked about their biography and the heart attack. A content analysis was carried out. Inter‐rater reliability showed a good to complete agreement. ACE patients reported primarily on expe…
Gamma elements as protomental representations
W. R. Bion developed various models and theories to describe the formation of mental representations. This article introduces an expansion of the model of alpha and beta elements by a new category, termed "gamma elements". Despite being transformable, gamma elements are characterized by an excessive feeling of reality, such that the subject must evacuate them. We are dealing here with visions, pseudohallucinations, scenarios in nightmares that ar…
The experience of transplantation as reflected in dream life
Although it is well known that a lung transplant enhances the recipient's quality of life, our knowledge of how it is processed mentally is limited. In this study, interviews were conducted with a lung-transplant patient two weeks, three months, and six months after surgery so as to investigate the relevant unconscious processing mechanisms. A dream reported in the first interview was analysed in accordance withapplying the Zurich Dream Process C…
Fantasized recipient–donor relationships following lung transplantations
The present study examines the relationships between lung transplant recipients and their unknown, deceased donors. Out of 20 semi-structured interviews, eight narratives, by three female and three male recipients respectively, were identified in which the figure of the donor played a role. These narratives were examined using JAKOB, a qualitative research tool that analyses relational configurations and diagnoses psychodynamic conflicts. Analysi…
Life and death drive in transplantation medicine
Semiotic aspects of the countertransference
The field of semiotics, established by Charles S. Peirce, is characterised by its recognition of non-linguistic signs and embedment in a communicative interaction; for this reason, it is especially well suited for a semiotic investigation of intersubjective processes. In this paper, the authors show how these intersubjective processes can be understood in semiotic terms within the transference-countertransference setting. Based on a case vignette…
