Full textAbstract:
The present article discusses trauma and its impact on human emotions, particularly on women, in literature, with a focus on K R Meera's novel, The Unseeing Idol of Light. The research paper highlights the rise of trauma theory in literature and explores the cultural and psychological influence of trauma in literature. It also analyses the characters in the novel through the lens of emotional imbalance and interdependency and examines the interrelation between vision, love, and trauma. The prevalence of negative emotions over positive emotions in the novel has been discussed. The paper emphasises the importance of mental stability in contemporary society and discusses various themes such as psychic changes, loss, longing, and transformation. The researcher aims to analyse and relate the selected work with critical thinking to shed light on the cultural and psychological impressions of literature.

Full textAbstract:
In the penultimate book ofDaniel Deronda, Gwendolen Harleth appears in a state of physical and mental shock after the drowning of her detested husband. Exposed to an increasingly popularized discourse of trauma, today's readers would have little trouble in identifying and labeling Gwendolen as a traumatized subject, suffering from a variety of typical symptoms in the aftermath of her terrible experience. She is fixated on the “dead face” of Grandcourt in the water, hallucinating it everywhere. Later, she complains that she “can't sleep much” and that “[t]hings repeat themselves in me so. They come back – they will all come back” (659; ch. 65). Disoriented in the present, she seems to return repeatedly to the past, the line between her interior world and the external world growing increasingly tenuous: “She unconsciously left intervals in her retrospect, not clearly distinguishing between what she said, and what she had only an inward vision of” (594; ch. 56). In her conversation with Daniel Deronda, she is described as being silent for a moment or two, “as if her memory had lost itself in a web where each mesh drew all the rest” (592; ch. 56). Deronda wonders whether she “was she seeing the whole event – her own acts included – through an exaggerating medium of excitement and horror.” (591; ch. 56).

Full textAbstract:
The present study attempts to investigate the existence of psychic pain in young learners experiencing chronic school failure/learning disabilities. Using a projective technique, the participants were asked to express the thoughts, feelings, dreams and wishes of an ‘imaginary’ child of their own age. LD individuals: a mentioned terrifying nightmares, and b. did not ‘admit’ their LD, even though in subsequent questions the majority admitted a projection of their own thoughts and feelings onto the ‘imaginary’ child. A high proportion of ‘average/good’ academic performance individuals answered more positively. The response pattern of LD individuals in our projective task not only reveals the magnitude of the psychic pain experienced by LD individuals but also offers a unique depiction of the way in which each of these individuals experience the psychic pain. The feeling of ‘helplessness’ stemming from chronic LD, combined with other related negative experiences during the sensitive years of personality development, add up to severe psychological pressure like that described in the psychological trauma literature.

Full textAbstract:
Counselling psychologists working with couples inevitably encounter personal narratives embedded with traumata. These are often reported to impact the couple’s relationship or even to have caused the presenting problem. This paper draws on the psychodynamic literature on trauma and reflects on how ideas emerging in the analytic field can support our understanding of this phenomenon and facilitate relational recovery. Working with couples allows the practitioner to witness the emergence of traumatic material in the dyadic relational context and how this often relates to earlier trauma, whose genesis is likewise embedded in the dyad. The professional’s presence changes the relational context into a triadic one and this can then serve the important function of facilitating thinkingand reflection about these experiences, thereby allowing a detoxification of the enactments arising between the couple. The risk inherent to working with trauma manifest within this context is discussed, as well as the relational stance required of the professional in order to avoid being experienced as an uninvolved bystander amplifying traumatic anxieties. Finally, this paper emphasises that counselling psychologists working with couples need to appreciate the emergence of reparative and creative interaction within the couple as trauma starts to recede into the relational background.

Full textAbstract:
There is extensive literature documenting the effects of early trauma on the development and psychological functioning of individuals. The syndrome that encompasses the consequences of trauma is PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), a disorder that arises in connection with a traumatic event of great impact that threatens one’s life or safety, such as war. Technologies and the development of neuroscience have allowed a more in-depth analysis of the consequences of war, which sees psychic trauma as an event capable of interfering with child development, even radically modifying the biology and psychology of adults and children. In the article, a brief review of the most recent studies in this field is presented, in order to highlight the need for early intervention to look especially after the small children.

Full textAbstract:
The literature on social action in the face of trauma, even while relatively sparse, indicates potential links between these domains of experience. Drawing on this literature, this article explores the meanings made by two mental health professionals who identify as being highly involved in social activism and who experienced past trauma that has significantly affected their lives. The personal narratives of these individuals were compiled from semistructured interviews that were selected for a qualitative thematic analysis. Meaningful recurrent themes indicated mutual influences of social action and trauma. Themes included (1) retraumatization and emotional pain associated with activism, (2) trauma and empathy, (3) healing and transformation through activism, (4) from powerlessness to action, (5) from alienation to validation, and (6) integration of parts of self. When applied within the psychoanalytic context of “witnessing,” data revealed three modes: (1) witnessing oneself, (2) communal witnessing, and (3) the language of activism as a witness. While excessive, overwhelming contact with trauma through activism may, in certain situations, engender risks of retraumatization and psychic stagnation, social activism may serve as a facilitator of intrapsychic movement and trauma transformation. Additionally, processing trauma through psychotherapy may contribute to an effective activism. Therefore, while trauma may involve devastating consequences, this article illustrates how people who experienced trauma may avert psychological states of helplessness and powerlessness, and processes and conditions by which individuals who endured trauma may develop a humane, compassionate view of self and others.

Full textAbstract:
This essay aims to weave together Freud’s seemingly disparate discussions of the causes of and cures for trauma and attempts to unravel the significance of his contribution to the literature on trauma. Investigating the aetiology of hysteria, Freud discovers trauma, characterizing it as a psychic wound that persistently impacts the structure of the mind and explains the cure as the recovery of forgotten memory—along with the abreaction of the affect attached to it. Freud’s theoretical shift from “dissociation” to “repression” makes him underscore the idea of “working-through” as a pivotal part of psychoanalytic therapy, one that enables the subject to come to terms with repressed memory.
War neuroses brought the concept of the repetition compulsion to his notice, leading him to develop the theory of the death drive, and he defines trauma as the ego’s defense against both endo- and exo-psychic dangers. He interprets the traumatic dream as a repeated attempt to master the traumatic situation with anxiety—a signal that prepares the subject for danger—the absence of which triggers traumatic neurosis. Later, this idea evolves into his suggestion that strengthening the patient’s ego empowers him to master the trauma that had previously overpowered him. Observing, however, that the ego defends itself against the process of recovery, just as it does against the threat of dangers, Freud uncovers the death drive underneath this resistance to recovery and envisages the asymptotic and incomplete process of the cure.
Freud’s engagement with the issue of trauma presents several important points. The idea of strengthening the ego for therapeutic purposes echoes his early view of unpleasure as resulting from the ego’s lack of inhibition in the Project of Scientific Psychology, thus providing a thread of consistency in the seemingly discontinuous trajectory of his trauma theory. His emphasis on working-through highlights the importance of the subject’s active role in recovery, which may be disregarded in neuroscientific trauma studies. In historiography, the concept of working-through connotes the therapeutic process of persistently witnessing the truth of wounded individuals without closure.
Freud’s account of the cooperation of the analyst and the patient may serve as a model for the “social space” in which a sympathetic listener bears witness to the testimony of the traumatized subject. Finally, the death drive that Freud excavates beneath the ego’s resistance to recovery evokes the concept of death as the ultimate danger to the ego, the mortality that the subject encounters in the course of his traumatic experience. Freud’s reflections on traumatic neurosis testify to his unflinching commitment to discerning the mechanisms and cures of trauma in the process of probing the psychic wounds of his patients.

Full textAbstract:
With the tragic events of the 20th century investigation of trauma as a psychic phenomenon has acquired paramount importance. It isan interdisciplinary subject involving doctors, psychologists, philosophers, writers. The Lost Generation authors and modernists were the first to address the problem of emotional shocks experienced by their heroes during WWI. Since then trauma, its causes and consequences have been one of the essential thematic components of world literature and, consequently, trauma studies have become an object of scholarly interest in the last decades of the 20th century in various humanitarian spheres. The present article addresses the way the contemporary Belarusian writer Lyudmila Rublewaskaya represents traumatized consciousness in her novel “The Daguerrotype” (2014). The novel draws its title from an old daguerreotype described in it. It was found by two contemporary young people together with a diary recounting the events of the late 19thcentury. The novel consists of two parts called “The Book of the Inner Circle” and “The Book of the Outer Circle” which are set in two interrelated time planes –the late 19th century and our time respectively. Through the intricately interwoven life stories of five personages the writer looks into various kinds of trauma, exposes their reasons, traces their consequences and describes her heroes’ ways of overcoming the mental distress. The traumatic experience of the characters was either due to the socio-political atmosphere in Russia in the late 19th century, or to a combination of a tragic accident, superstition and manipulation, or to a clash of rough force and nobleness. The significance of unveiling a person’s secret through narration for overcoming the traumatic psychic aftermath is illustrated in the novel, too.

Full textAbstract:
This article theorizes the Zimbabwean writer Stanlake Samkange’s turn from the novel to philosophy as an effort to circumvent the representational pressure exerted by African cultural traumatization. In breaking with the novel form to coauthor a philosophical treatise called Hunhuism or Ubuntuism in the same year as Zimbabwe achieves independence (1980), Samkange advances a comportment-based, deontological alternative to the psychic or subjective model of personhood that anchors trauma theory. Revisiting the progression from his most achieved novel, The Mourned One, to Hunhuism or Ubuntuism thus offers fresh insight into the range of options available to independence-era writers for representing the relationship between African individuality and collectivity. At the same time, it suggests a complementary and overlooked relationship between novelistic and philosophical forms in an African context.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is intended as a contribution to understanding why, up until recently, there have been so few case reports of actual abuse and its sequelae in the psychoanalytic literature. We suggest that psychoanalytic insights into the nature of psychic reality, while indispensable to the evolution of psychoanalytic thinking, have nonetheless had the adverse effect of collapsing any distinction between unconscious fantasies and repressed memories. Moreover, the idea that knowledge of external reality is itself mentally constructed also has diminished interest in uncovering trauma and “real” history. We present a report of an adult analysis that illustrates the recovery of a dissociated memory of sexual abuse that occurred during adolescence, as a springboard to discuss problems analysts have had in dealing with trauma theoretically. We hypothesize that repressed memories and conscious fantasies can often be distinguished insofar as they may be “stored” or encoded differently, and that consequently the sequelae of trauma and fantasy often, but not always, can be disentangled. We describe some different modes of encoding trauma and some different ways of remembering, reexperiencing, and reenacting it. And, finally, we suggest why traumatic memories are increasingly accessible to patients today.

Full textAbstract:
This essay considers the renewal of “deadpan routines” by Conceptual artists in the early 1970s. Allen Ruppersberg, William Leavitt, and William Wegman, among other California Conceptualists, drew deadpan away from the repetition of administrative procedures, thereby evacuating the effects of psychic urgency and trauma with which the device had been conventionally associated in avant-garde practice. Instead, they keyed their routines to the interactional norms of post-studio pedagogy in Southern California art schools and the rote protocols of below-the-line Hollywood institutions where casual negligence towards imposed assignments served to undermine local bureaucratic authority.

(2) Review the neurotransmitters involved in psychotic episodes and in love. (3) Postmodern culture and sexuality (agony of Eros and liquid love).MethodologyA 17-years-old female patient, who presented psychotic symptoms without psychiatric history. We hypothesize that the affair was the symptom and the stressful event was the breakup. We believe that early bond with the mother is a decisive factor in shaping the psychic structure of every human being factor. In this case, it seems that there is an insecure attachment: absent parent + overprotective mother.True love draws three triangles: records (demand, drive and desire); dimensions (beliefs, significant and encounter) and emotions (pride, hope and desire).ResultsMost psychiatric disorders are especially alterations in the way of experiencing emotions. Some neurotransmitters involved in her psychosis and addiction are key players in the neurobiology of love.ConclusionsTrue love is the neurotic experience closer to psychosis.Overexcitement in today's society is a trauma for the psychic apparatus and it has consequences on the internal world, psychosexuality and loving bond.The crisis of art and literature can be attributed to the disappearance of the other, to the agony of Eros.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
Dislocation, expatriation, and the attendant loss of homeland are concerns at the heart of Jewish literature. The dialectical relationship between identity and the sense of homeland informing the Jewish diasporic consciousness, in particular, has often culminated in nostalgic depictions of Israel in post-war American Jewish literature. In focusing on such a literary representation, this essay unravels the multidimensionality of diasporic Jewish identity. Critically analyzing Nicole Krauss’s Forest Dark (2017), it evaluates the trauma of exile and the psychic dilemma of third-generation American Jewish writers. The novelist brings about a confluence of nostos and nostalgia in Forest Dark. In evoking the visceral sense of loss, dislocation, and a painful yearning for the lost homeland, the author succeeds in tracing the lives of two protagonists, Jules Epstein, a retired New York lawyer, and Nicole, a Jewish American novelist struggling with a deep marital crisis. The text foregrounds the theme of self-discovery exemplified in the homecoming of its two central characters. Following his parents’ death and haunted by the anguish and horror of the Shoah, Jules unmoors himself from his current life and flies to Tel Aviv on a whim. Nicole, who suffers from creative blockage on account of her failing marriage, undertakes the trip to Tel Aviv hoping to recover from her soul-sickness, as it were. If Jules and Nicole do not cross paths, it still remains that their Jewish identities stem from the originary tragedy of the Holocaust. Although removed from the horrific sights and scenes of the tragic event, intergenerational trauma resonates with certain aspects of the diasporic Jewish existence. Using theoretical interventions of memory studies and the Freudian concept of Unheimlich or the uncanny, this essay explores the ethical implications that undergird Nicole Krauss’s diasporic depiction of Israel.

Full textAbstract:
The portrayal of gender-based violence is present in all genres of prose, including the ghost story. There is currently a lack of research regarding gender-based violence portrayed in Afrikaans ghost stories in literature as well as in film and television. Alongside the acknowledged forms of gender-based violence (physical and non-physical abuse), I argue that an additional level of violence, namely psychic violence, is used in the ghost story to amplify the horror and impact of gender-based violence. To illustrate this psychic form of violence, I compare the portrayal of the character Emmie in the classic Afrikaans ghost story “Die bouval op Wilgerdal” (The Wilgerdal Ruins) by C. J. Langenhoven (1924) with her portrayal in the 2019 adaptation of Langenhoven’s short story for two episodes of the television series Die Spreeus (The Starlings). Emmie is haunted by both the ghost of her deceased beloved, Petrus, and the ghost of her stalker, Frans, who possessed Petrus’s body at the moment of his death. Where Emmie was moved to the background to deal with her trauma in silence and solitude in Langenhoven’s short story, she is put front and centre in Die Spreeus when her strange situation is investigated by the police as a case of domestic violence. The depiction of Emmie and this investigation casts a harsh light on the continuous plight of female victims of domestic violence, including revictimization, ongoing physical and emotional violence, victim blaming and gaslighting.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Military psychological trauma is today a very widespread phenomenon, which is an actual and socially significant problem of modern domestic psychiatry. Many of its aspects remain not fully disclosed, in particular, the clinical features of psychotic disorders in combatants. This necessitates the development of modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to the optimization of treatment-diagnostic and social-rehabilitation assistance in this category of patients.
Objective. Оn the basis of the analysis of literature data and own research to determine the prevalence and structure of psychotic disorders in participants in participants of military action.
Materials and methods. The analysis of the data of scientific researches and official statistics of the Ministry of Health concerning the prevalence and structure of psychotic disorders in the participants of combat operations is carried out.
Results. It was found high level of comorbidity of a martial psychic trauma with other mental illnesses – up to 75%. Psychotic signs most often appear in the clinic of chronic post-traumatic stress disorder and determine its more severe course, which can be compared with progressive forms of schizophrenia.
Conclusions. Significant prevalence of psychotic symptoms in the event of a military traumatic trauma in combatants indicates the urgent need for further study of signs of high risk of psychosis, as well as their early detection in order to optimize treatment and diagnostic and socio-rehabilitation care for this category of patients.

Full textAbstract:
The political and cultural contexts are very important to the experience of trauma (individual or communal), and yet, ultimately every reaction to an event is unique, depending largely on individual positioning and psychic history. ‘True’ versions of traumatic historical events, with minimum contamination or distortion by any specific ideology or unreliable memory, are needed; if these narratives are to have long-term value. Unfortunately, most often the ‘social discourse’ surrounding these is manipulated by institutional forces (including the media) and the main experience gets either downplayed or sensationalised. By focussing on the journey of the Palestinian doctor, Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, this essay attempts to highlight such responsible responses to trauma. Dr. Abuelaish, even after growing up in a refugee camp in Gaza, or after witnessing the death of his three daughters by Israeli tank shells that hit his home, rather than seeking revenge or letting intrusive memories fill him with eternal hatred, continues his humanitarian call for the people of the region to come together, promoting understanding, respect, and peace. His experiences, some of which was captured live on TV, and later penned down in his memoir I Shall Not Hate; and his life choices and activities since the tragedy are the best example how unconventional individual reactions can have largescale repercussions; and hence needs to be chronicled. Dominick LaCapra had pointed out that trauma often leads to distorted identity-formation, where either the subject-position of ‘victim’ or ‘perpetrator’ becomes prominent; “wherein one is possessed by the past and tends to repeat it compulsively” (Representing the Holocaust 12). But this article seeks to reveal how, when some individuals find within themselves to rise above such binaries, and tell their stories sensitively yet objectively- they accelerate the healing process, both for themselves and the community.

Resilience is a person's ability to survive, rise, and adapt to difficult conditions. Individuals who have resilience are able to quickly return to their pre-psychic trauma, appear immune from negative life events, and are able to adapt to extreme stress and suffering. A child with disabilities, from an early age, the parents have to "prepare the child" from various aspects, such as physical, mental and social in facing the life that will be faced. So that children are better prepared to face challenges and do not suffer from a serious mental disorder even genetically they have the potential for psychiatric disorders, but with preparation and training in resilience from an early age and develop positive potentials of children and generate mature coping mechanisms, children will be better prepared to face life (Psychological Readiness) towards welfare and prosperity (Wellbeing) in society. This literature review aims to discuss resilience as a protective factor in early childhood psychosis.

Full textAbstract:
Spatial criticism is an attempt to study environmental literature to demonstrate relationships between physical spaces and identity. Place attachment is a concept of environmental psychology that deals with the emotional bonds between individuals and the environment in which they feel secure. It is through the concepts of place identity and sense of place that scholars bring to the fore the concept of place attachment. Extending this thinking, the present paper seeks to propose place attachment and fear of disruption in attachment as the main reason for Jack Gladney’s fear of death. The protagonist of Don DeLillo’s White Noise (1985) has developed a strong sense of place, identity and belonging to the space of town, supermarket, and his house. Jack’s obsession with the cyberspace of TV and its psychic data is also examined in this paper. The aim of this paper is thus to study the formulation of the sense of place in Gladney. His place attachment and the fear of disruption are also studied at the crossroad of spatial criticism and trauma theory. The paper concludes by demonstrating how the fear of displacement causes haunting fear and anxiety in Jack Gladney.

Full textAbstract:
Rachel Seiffert’s novel Afterwards (2007) explores the ethically challenging and often neglected fact of perpetrator trauma resulting from sustained structural violence. This controversial subject is conveyed through the stories of Joseph and David, two British ex-servicemen belonging to different generations, who attempt to overcome their war traumas years after their respective involvement in The Troubles in Northern Ireland (from the late 1960s to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998), and the Mau Mau Uprising (running from 1952 to 1960), that ended with Kenya’s independence. The novel fittingly organises the narrative around moments of acting-out, when the protagonists feel equally disconnected from self and world, yet deal with their traumatised condition in strikingly different ways. The paper proposes an analysis of Afterwards from the perspective of Trauma and Memory Studies, with a view to exploring how the “palimpsestuous” (Dillon 4) structure of the novel, along with the repetitive use of imagery evoking holes and emptiness (Bloom 210), allow Seiffert to “perform” (Ganteau and Onega 10) the workings of the disturbed psyches of Joseph and David, so that it builds the unrepresentability of trauma into the textual fabric of the novel.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Chronic pain is a multifaceted disorder genuinely entangled with psychic and psychosomatic symptoms, which are typically involved in the processes of chronification. The impingement syndrome of the shoulder is no exception to this rule, but several studies have shown respective peculiarities among those with pain and impingement of the shoulder. Notably, chronic pain is a lateralized experience, and, similarly, its psychosomatic correlates may be attached to the hemispheres functionally. Aim: The present review therefore gives an overview of the respective findings, with regard not only to psychopathology, but also to personality factors and psychologic trauma, since the latter are reportedly associated with chronic pain. Moreover, we acknowledge symmetry as a possible pathogenic factor. Methods: This narrative review followed the current standards for conducting narrative studies. Based on prior findings, our research strategy included the relevance of psychotraumatologic and symmetrical aspects, as well as comorbidity. We retrieved the relevant literature reporting on the impact of psychopathology as well as personality features on shoulder pain, as published up to January 2022 from the Medline database (1966–2022). Study selecton: We included numerous studies, and considered the contextual relevance of studies referring to the neuropsychosomatics of chronic pain. Results: Pain-specific fears, depression, and anxiety are important predictors of shoulder pain, and the latter is generally overrepresented in those with trauma and PTSD. Moreover, associations of shoulder pain with psychological variables are stronger as regards surgical therapies as compared to conservative ones. This may point to a specific and possibly trauma-related vulnerability for perioperative maladaptation. Additionally, functional hemispheric lateralization may explain some of those results given that limb pain is a naturally lateralized experience. Not least, psychosocial risk factors are shared between shoulder pain and its physical comorbidities (e.g., hypertension), and the incapacitated state of the shoulder is a massive threat to the function of the human body as a whole. Conclusions: This review suggests the involvement of psychosomatic and psychotraumatologic factors in shoulder impingement-related chronic pain, but the inconclusiveness and heterogeneity of the literature in the field is possibly suggestive of other determinants such as laterality.

Full textAbstract:
Empirical studies have unequivocally and consistently shown that rape myths are integral to the aetiology of sexual coercion and aggression. The present article reviews the literature on rape myth acceptance as an important risk factor in the sexual victimization of women and a precursor for a hostile social attitude towards victims of rape. Through the examination of the verbal reactions of the Moroccan public to the case of rape and torture of Khadija “the tattoo girl” (fata:t lwaʃm) on YouTube, it attempts to assess and debunk specific examples of rape myths present in the Moroccan sociocultural context. Discussion focuses on the social perception of female victims of sexual violence and the measurement and evaluation of its physical and psychological impact on them. Victims' emotional responses and psychic trauma constitute an important part of this discussion. Findings suggest the existence of immanently cultural rape myths, such as “the myth of the willing victim”, “it is impossible to rape a resisting woman”, and “women are prone to make false allegations”, along with deleterious victim-blaming cultural stereotypes, such as “she was asking for it”. Another noteworthy finding this paper presents is the social requirement of conspicuous "psychological/emotional harm" to legitimize the status of the victim.

IntroductionIn line with a consistent literature, young patients with disruptive behavior disorders in childhood and adolescence have experienced some traumatic events, such as abuse, rejection and violence assisted. Recent studies are focusing the attention on the role of attachment and post-traumatic symptomatology for a better evaluation of this clinical condition.ObjectiveThis study investigates attachment models and post-traumatic symptomatology in young patients with disruptive behavior disorders.Aim(s)The following objectives are set by the present study: – to evaluate attachment models in a group of children diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders;– to evaluate their post-traumatic symptomatology;– to test the extent of the association between post-traumatic symptomatology and attachment organization in young patients with disruptive behavior disorders.MethodForty-two Italian patients aged from 8 to 15 previously diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders are compared to 42 healthy control subjects. We administer the child attachment interview and trauma symptom checklist for children-adolescent.ResultsInsecure attachment are found in more than half of the patients diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders and disorganization are highly over-represented. Furthermore, low levels of post-traumatic symptoms are found in young patients with disruptive behavior disorders.ConclusionThis study suggests that attachment organization may be a fundamental element to be assessed in the evaluation of disruptive behavior disorders in children and adolescents. Nevertheless, traumatic experiences do not seem expressed through psychic symptoms. The clinical implications are discussed.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Introduction Multiple authors have criticized the lack of attention that classical theoretical models have paid to motherhood as a milestone of great influence on the psychic structure of women. However other models have developed theories that take into account factors such as: motherhood implies “dying as a daughter” or the oscillations between the “desire of the mother” and the “desire of the woman”. Objectives This case report aims to describe a case of severe difficulties achieving maternal function. Methods Case report and literature review. Results A 27 years old woman, born in Ethiopia. The patient reported history of childhood trauma (intrafamiliar sexual abuse, child neglect). Depressed mood and pasive autolytic ideation since childhood. The patient was adopted when she was 11 years old and moved to Spain. The pacient had difficulties with bonding with her adoptive family. At the age of 24, she got pregnant “to have my own family and not being alone.” During pregnancy, she begins to present poorly structured paranoid ideation. After birth, the patient began to present autolytic ideation, dissociative symptoms and suicide attempts. Conclusions For the patient, her desire to be a mother, marked from the beginning by the phantom of appropriation, later led to rejecting it. Various factors could affect: her motherhood resignified the relationship with her family of origin, as well as having imagined that her daughter would complete her lack: the birth could have underlined her traumatic history, marking the bond with her daughter by indifference and the lack of libidinal investiture. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Post-traumatic stress disorder(further – PTSD) is a complex and multi-faceted psychic phenomenon, which is in need of rigorous research. The number of studies done on PTSD is vast, and the number of its treatments – starting with evidence-based exposure therapy and medication and ending with experimental treatments like transcranial magnet stimulation and psychoactive substance use – are very diverse. Such kind of diversity indicates one thing – we don’t have a sufficient answer to the challenges, which PTSD puts forward. The relevance of the subject in Ukraine, where nowadays hundreds of thousands of people endure the extremely traumatic environment of the front lines, whether taking part in combat or not, is hard to overestimate. Our situation puts us in the position of extreme need for PTSD research, but furthermore – into position of researching it while still enduring the traumatic circumstance itself. For there reasons we need to study PTSD from as many angles, as possible. Nightmares belong to the essential symptoms of PTSD. Like other symptoms, they are most often viewed in the context of the traumatic event, the memory of which remains in high affectation and devoid of the spatial and temporal isolation, which is specific to the memories, stored in the amygdala. The goal of treatment is to transcribe, so to say, the memory into the hippocampus and to restore the function of temporal lobes, so that the patient is able to find themselves outside of the place and time of trauma and in here-and-now. But, trauma is more than an experience of a horrible event – it is also a complex relational phenomenon. It is the relational aspect of PTSD, which became the focus of our attention – specifically the experience of alienation and marginalization of the combatant. We analyzed relevant literature and also two nightmares in this article. One dream belongs to Dr. Donald Kalsched’s patient, and the second one – to the combatant patient of the Mental Health Center of the First Territorial Medical Union. The content analysis of these cases demonstrates the experience of the patients’ experience of marginalization and the way of its symbolization in the dreams. This study is a case study, and does not claim finality of its findings. It is an illustration of a tendency, which has been noticed during clinical work with combatants in rehab, which constitutes the study’s scientific interest. Further, larger-scale research is necessary and will be conducted.

Suicide by high-speed railway track trauma with complete decapitation is a rare event; however, it is well known and reported in the scientific literature. The authors analyzed 5 cases of suicide with complete decapitation along with upper limb amputation or severe injury by high-speed mainline train subjected to medico-legal autopsies at the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal between 2019 and 2021. Upper limb injury is considered because of scientific reasons that they have been amputated along with decapitation. Personal, circumstantial, autopsy, and toxicological data and thevictim’s psychical profile were analyzed, and factors like the type of injury, the vital reaction of wound edges, absence of any signs of defense, alcohol, and drug consumption were also considered.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Jim Crace likes to refer to himself as a “landscape writer” and indeed, in each of his eleven novels he has created a distinct yet recognizable imaginary landscape or cityscape. This has led critics to coin the term “Craceland” to describe the idiosyncratic milieux he creates, which, through his remarkably authentic and poetic rendering of geography and topography, appear to be both other and familiar at the same time. In The Pesthouse 2007, the milieu is the devastated America of an imagined future, a country which has deteriorated into a pre-modern and pre-industrial wasteland so hostile to sustainable existence that most of its inhabitants have become refugees travelling eastwards to sail to a new life on another continent. Franklin and Margaret, two such refugees, are leaving their homes not only to flee misery and destitution, but also the trauma and pain occasioned by the loss of their relatives. Using geocriticism as a practice and theoretical point of departure, this article presents and analyses the various ways in which Crace’s novel renders and explores its spaces, landscapes and places, as well as how it links them with the transformation of the protagonists’ psyches and mental worlds.

Full textAbstract:
This article argues that Suzan-Lori Parks’s dramatic work should be considered in terms of its presentation of apocalyptic scenes that are unique in their rejection of endings. I examine Parks’s The America Play and Death of the Last Black Man in the Entire World as examples of apocalypse-in-process, representations of apocalypse that refuse a teleological context and instead focus on the unending nature of historical and global catastrophe. I build upon scholarship on Parks’s treatment of African American history and memory, particularly that which centres her preoccupation with the material and psychical remnants of slavery and oppression, to examine how apocalyptic themes undergird her writing. Parks’s reorientation of apocalyptic writing away from easily resolvable endings speaks directly to our present moment, in which anti-Black violence borne out of chattel slavery continues to reverberate in the face of the insidious violence of microaggressions and police brutality. In presenting sites of ostensible death as unlikely spaces for insurgent life, Parks’s plays rethink what narratives of death and trauma can look like.

Full textAbstract:
- After a brief review of the main psychoanalytic approaches to psychic trauma, the Authors propose some remarks on the relationship that, according to analytical psychology, exists between trauma, the origin of the emotionally charged complexes and the genesis of the different forms of psychic disturbance. They underline how psychic dissociation is a process that in some measure constantly coexists in the mind with the tendency to integra tion, and how dissociation, in its manifold forms of expression, is one of the main way the mind uses to defend itself from the consequences of a traumatic experience. In the end, some clinical observations illustrate the characteristics that the therapeutic relation can assume with traumatized patients.

Full textAbstract:
The paper deals with the main tendencies of the artistic reception of women images in modern Ukrainian novels. The principles of modeling femininity in literature have been considered from the positions of the gender studies, postcolonial and psychoanalytic theory. It is proved that the peculiarities of this modeling are determined by stylistic and genre tendencies of the Ukrainian literature. The interpretation of feminine images typical for the national literary tradition (mother, family-keeper, demonic woman) has been demonstrated in numerous examples. These images correlate with the fundamental artistic principles of the turning points in history (actualization of the archetypes, attention to the irrational manifestations of human psychics). They display the ‘masculine’ literary tradition (representation of a woman as an external object), but at the same time demonstrate a new accent in the understanding of the gender roles (woman as a mentor of a man). The alternative types of the feminine identity represented by feminist and culturological women’s writing have been explored as well. Special attention has been paid to procreation as the main woman’s ability, which forms different models of feminine mentality – from the essentialist mother-type to the image of a child-free woman. The modeling of a feminine artistic worldview becomes an actual strategy in overcoming the postcolonial trauma. It is explained by the peculiarities of the postcolonial literatures, which fulfill their historical reflections in the local family stories. In this context, feminine conscience gets the status of a memory-keeper and shows the ability to trace the development of national history in its everyday dimensions. Based on the large-scale generalization of the last decades’ artistic practice, the researcher determines the main worldview intentions of modern novels, in particular the tendency to achieve gender parity, the full-fledged dialogue of men and women as the equal subjects of culture creation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a conceptual framework for understanding post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychological battle fatigue (BF) as outcomes of mental adaptation to changing environmental conditions. These conditions are primarily linked to the experience of war, military threats, and the broader challenges of the global landscape. It is worth emphasizing that these challenges have, without exaggeration, affected the global population in 2022. The pressing need for research on PTSD and BF is driven not only by the significant shifts in global military events but also by the absence of fundamental methodological research that aligns with the demands of the 21st century. The author has identified crucial issues that form the basis for further comprehensive scientific and practical investigations. The overarching goal of this research is to develop effective methodologies and establish rehabilitation programs tailored to the specific needs of combatants, internally displaced individuals, and civilians residing in war-affected regions.

Full textAbstract:
This essay explores the epistemological significance of the kinds of beliefs that grow out of traumatic experiences, such as the rape survivor's belief that she is never safe. On current theories of justification, beliefs like this one are generally dismissed due to either insufficient evidence or insufficient prepositional content. Here, Freedman distinguishes two discrete sides of the aftermath of psychic trauma, the shattered self and the shattered worldview. This move enables us to see these beliefs as beliefs; in other words, as having cognitive content. Freedman argues that what we then need is a theory of justification that allows us to handpick reliable sources of information on sexual violence, and give credibility where deemed appropriate. She advances a mix of reliabilism and coherentism that privileges feminism. On this account, the evidence for the class of beliefs in question will depend on an act of sexual violence (or testimony, or statistics) to the extent that the act is a reliable indication of the prevalence of sexual violence against women.

Full textAbstract:
- The article directly refers to the revision of some basic concepts of Jungian thought, (archetypes as psychic organizers, the discussion on the relationship between intra-psychic vs. inter-subjective, the notion of psychic contagion, the concepts of psychoid and synchronicity), and to the most recent post-Jungian research (the archetypes as image schemata, by Knox, the emergent psychic development by Cambray, or the defences of the Self, by Kalshed). Referring to these themes, it is possible to connect some contributions coming from psycho-analysis to some possible mechanisms of inter-generational transmission. The Jungian perspective on psychological trauma (present conflict, dissociation and regression, adaptation) may give an important contribution to shed light on the fact based on clinical observations that beyond the direct effects of trauma which are directly felt by the person, the latter's mental life may be deeply affected and tied to traumatic events and contents which do not involve him directly, as they belong to previous generations.

Full textAbstract:
How to represent the trauma of others so that it can still affect the spectators, shock them into recognition, and, above all, prompt them to act against war – is a crucial question posed by both women dramatists, Heather Raffo and Judith Thompson, in their two prominent theatrical reflections on war in Iraq, namely, Nine parts of Desire and Palace of the End, respectively. The present paper aims to prove that the plays under consideration are attached to fact and research, yet they skirt the boundaries of what we conventionally consider 'documentary' theatre by shifting the emphasis from the mimetic to the poetic, from detached documentation to self-conscious performance and by changing the theatre into a ritualistic site of witnessing, mourning, and collective healing. By so doing, these plays mourn the stupidity of history, the irrationality of war, the tragedy of post modern condition, the disruption of normal life and the devastation of psyches. As such, the paper reaches the conclusion that Raffo and Thompson provoke our ethical responsibility for the vulnerability of the self and others ,and renew our shattered faith in humanity by achieving a radical re-functioning of the genre of documentary theater ..

Full textAbstract:
This paper contends that Catherine Malabou’s concepts of cerebrality and the new wounded extend Frantz Fanon’s theory of colonial trauma to illuminate the link between violent oppression and contemporary profile of psychic disorders, as they relate to the diagnostic measure of PTSD. It begins by demonstrating colonial psychoanalyst Octave Mannoni’s failure to engage psychoanalytic theory to negate the racial theses of French colonial psychiatry. Next, it explicates Fanon’s refutation of both Mannoni’s use of the idea of dependence and his theory of social evolutionism to describe the colonial relation. In brief, Fanon critiques Mannoni for neglecting to integrate the psychic effects of colonial violence into his analysis of unconscious complexes in the colonized. Finally, this paper shows that Malabou corelates violent ruptures with the PTSD diagnosis, in order to better understand the relation between sociopolitical violence and neuropsychiatric trauma. This paper proposes that both Fanon and Malabou be mobilized to theorize the violent origins of psychic trauma.

Celem artykułu jest analiza filmu Znieważona ziemia Michale Boganim z punktu widzenia współczesnych badań nad traumą i studiów nad pamięcią. Wykorzystując aparat pojęciowy, funkcjonujący w obszarze tych badań, zauważono, że film Znieważona ziemia mieści się w kategorii filmu posttraumatycznego nie tylko ze względu na centralny dla niego temat czarnobylskiej katastrofy i jej następstw, które widz ma okazję obserwować głównie przez pryzmat milieu. Boganim umiejscawia traumę świadka przede wszystkim w niezdolnym do jej przepracowania ciele i psychice człowieka. Źle ulokowana nostalgia, melancholia, kinetyczna nadpobudliwość funkcjonują w filmie jako znaki, pozwalające widzowi współodczuwać tragedię bohaterów, rodzaj powtarzalnego kodu, zmuszającego do refleksji nad mechanizmami pamięci i zapominania.
