Singer, Flora. « Psychopathologie et paradoxalite epistemologique de la psychanalyse ». Paris 7, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA070031.
Texte intégralThis is a research on psychoanalytic epistemology, and develops the problematic status of psychoanalysis towards know, ledge. From an historical point of view, epistemologic thought in psychoanalysis was always dependant on positivist orienta, tions. These are based on the identity principle which enables knowledge's axiomatisation. Unconscious is the other of consciousness, and this onto- logical condition of being-other, requires other logical prin, ciples than those based on identity. These principles are sup, ported by a paradoxical structure where opposites bear a re, lation of complementarity and do not exclude one another. Contemporary french thought in psychoanalysis as well as in philosophy provides a reflection about otherness. A theoretical paradigm is thereby formed which can contribute to constitution of an apistemology adapted to psychoanalysis. Starting from a descriptive angle and a selection of authors and theories, a normative angle rises up in the re, search, concerning a possible psychoanalytic epistemology. Every theorisation in psychoanalysis carries a limited knowledge. This limit is connected with the unknown unconscious and with transformability of its notions. The negativerepre- sents these limits in our research. This integrative approach of otherness by means of a paradoxality logic and the negative, can contribute to the development of an epistemology suitable to psychoanalysis

Texte intégralThis work is an epistemological and clinical research on the fundamental character of the modality of the impossible, in the respective fields of psychoanalysis and mathematics. He intends to show how the function of the impossible articulates in the connection both, and not only from psychopathologic and descriptive point of view, but also cleanly operating one. From their respective report to the real, how these two domains of Knowledge, determining as for the status of the modem subject - the psychoanalysis and the mathematics - can not only shed light mutually on the respective lawsuit of their Knowledge, 'but also isolate a report to the impossible operating in a comparable way in both. The study of this report drove us to put both notions of mathematical discourse and of mathematical subject; Is there a meaning to characterize in psychoanalytical terms, the modes of discursivity of the mathematical historic or individual progress ? For example, can the categories of the psychopathology, as the phobia, the hysteria, the obsessional neurosis or the schizophrenia, specify the invention process in mathematics ? Then, if such seems to be the case, a locatable function of the subject as the Knowledge at work in mathematics can articulate with any Kind of mathematization of the unconscious in psychoanalysis ? It is exactly at this joint that aims the intention and the step of this work

Texte intégralLaufer, Laurie. « De l'énigme du deuil à l'œuvre de sépulture : psychopathologie de la disparition ». Paris 7, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA070001.
Texte intégralThe trauma caused by the loss has created such a heavy drain in the survivor that memory, time, and image have disappeared. Freud has stated that the mourning process was an enigma. How can you mourn someone you don't recall? Is it possible to mourn a shadow? Could traumatic amnesia be considered as an identification to the deceased? Mourning therapy demands an opening up of memory, the images have to be exhibited. The ghost, within mourning therapy, might then be considered as an hallucinatory fiction, as a mean to give its figure back to the disappearance, so that the outline of the deceased can reappear. Mourning therapy could then be seen as an hallucination factory. The story of a survival, the survival of a story. The ghost is, at first, a psychic tool designed to elaborate and give life to a form. The mourning process would then be a time for reviving the ghosts, a time marked by a movement among the fossils that allows a redefining of the burial place's outline. The sepulture work creates a place where movements within the life of the psychism are made possible again. It gives a look and a voice to the tombstone. It generates a psychic space which transforms the living as well as the dead. The mourning process would then consist, for the analyst, in allowing, through transference and within transference, the creation of images that have the power to open up the word and give a voice to the mourning, an erotic one, as well as a violent, or even a comic one. The mourning enigma would then become a mourning game

Texte intégralThis thesis studies the birth of psychanalytic research worker and the psychanalytic research, their method and their metapsychology and proposes the psychanalytic situation of research as an extension and a variant of the psychanalytic situation of cure. It affirms that the transfer structures both rhe psychanalytic situations of cure and of research. Transfer is identified to be interpreted and liquidated in the first, and to produce an oral or a written text in the latte. The strategies inaugurated by Freud to determine the psychopathologic allow a new approach to common psychopathology enlarging and deepening its domain and giving it scientific basis, or a psychopathology founded on psychanalytic basis. When the psychanalytic research worker studies experience this psychopathology starts from he discovers its roots in the ethic tradition of ancient greeks restored by Aeschylus in the tragic experience of beneficial violence (charis biaios) and of "enduring for learning" (to pathei mathos). This thesis proposes the study of psychopathologic from the psychanalytic situation of research structured by transfer where the experience binding aeschylian charis biaios and pathei mathos to freudian wo es war soll ich werden is revealed
Benhamou, Hervé. « L'hystérie de conversion chez l'enfant et l'adolescent ». Paris 7, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989PA070047.
Texte intégralAfter a brief historical note, and a review concerning epidemic hysterias among children and adolescents, 15 cases of young patients suffering from psychogenic corporal troubles are studied. The links between these troubles and hysterical conversions are discussed ; the limits of child hysteria is evoked in a few cases in order to center the global theoretical discussion on the genesis and the mecanisms of corporal and personnality troubles. The freudian concepts of somatic compliance, identification, seduction, defered action, are reevaluated. Their multiple possibilities of respective inter-articulations contribute in distinguishing different clinical variants from the structural point of view

Texte intégralThis research is focused on the contribution the study of the theme of the "ghost" could make to the understanding, explanation and psychological treatments of the psychopathologies of persecution in the gabonese population. On the basis of the data gathered from the clinical and ethnological fields, and according to the psychanalytical theoretical pattern of the symbolization processes, we support that the aforesaid psychopathological organizations have a defensive function against anguish and guilt. The feeling of persecution would be a substitute for guilt and anguish, whereas the theme of the "ghost" must be seen as an help for repression, that is to say the outward appearance the gabonese subjects give to the desires and the fears coming out from the bottom of the uncounscious
Menéndez, Ramón. « L'autisme : une analyse critique des différents courants thérapeutiques : la place de la psychopathologie ». Toulouse 2, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002TOU20029.
Texte intégralPositions on autism have been classified in two groups : defenders of organic etiology and those who support the psychogenic proposition. Our research consists in questioning this division. We retraced the history of autism from J. Itard's description of "the savage of the Aveyron". The inquiry continued with S. Freud's influence on the scientific community at the beginning of the XX century. E. Bleuler originated the word "autism", used to describe a symptom of schizophrenia. In 1943 were published two works, taht of H. Asperger on "autistic psychopaths", and taht of L. Kanner on "autistic disturbance of affective contact". From this point on, autism aroused the interest of the scientific community. B. Bettelheim published in 1967 "The Empty Fortress", inspired by analysts such as M. Klein and D. Meltzer. Frances Tustin continues this tradition. E. Schopler, formerly a disciple of Bettelheim, became his detractor. He contests the psychogenic thesis of autism and criticizes his mentor views on the mother's role in the etiology of that entity. He incited the creation of a state program (TEACCH). Schopler is influenced by two trends of thought. On the one side the cognitive with authors such as U. Frith and S. Baron-Cohen, who attempt to establish a link between cognitive impairments and neurophysiology. They define autism as an impairment of the "theory of mind". On the other side is behaviorism : I. Lovaas works on the application of behavioral techniques to autistic disorders, without taking interset in etiology. J. Lacan's teachings introduce language structure as the basis for the subjective position. His students worked on autism in order to derive the reference points necessary for psychoanalytic intervention. His remarks are illustrated by three clinical cases. Psychoanalysis is not opposed to the existence of a somatic origin of autism. However, it considers that the subject, caught in the structure of language, cannot be reduced to his or her organism
Lopez, Dolores Lolita. « Les épreuves de détresse et de jouissance dans les exploits sportifs à risques : interprétation psychopathologique ». Paris 13, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA131017.
Texte intégralThe practice of himalayist mountaineering is a subjective trial during which the subjects are exposed to dangers connected with the reality of both body and nature. Hypoxia and coldness take hold of the alpinist in high altitude. Psychophysiology is put to test with the potential damage of brain or lung oedema which may cause death. The field which induces accidents is dangerous for subjects trying to move forward and reach a summit over 26000 feet high. As we thought a parallel could be drawn between the phenomenology linked to the infant's distress and the one described by the himalayist climbers, we examined the Freudian psychoanalytical concept "hilflosigkeit". To the "primitive agonies" endured by the nurseling, the adult would respond with real agonies experenced when being in the field of very high altitude. The fantasy of mastering any danger is reinforced with a fantasy of omnipotence and immortality denying the symbolic castrations. The metaphore used to describe The Mountain are very often archaic and sexual. The moutain is a make-believe incarnation of the utmost "Autre" (a Lacanian concept). The subject would attempt an incestuous close-up on the heroic mode. The possibility of an access to "Das Ding" via la "jouissance" would lead straightaway to the extinction of the subject of desire, need and greed. The ordeals and feats would enable the individual to re-originate himself in an inversion of "i did not choose to be born". The illusive ideal of autonomy is backed up by the denials about risk-takings. Grown-up in search of physical as well as psychic ordeal may have been infants craving for a reassuring "holding" and later, they may have become hyperactive children. Traumatophili which appears too in this process suggests we can figure the trauma being repeated in a circular movement as something which might be solved at last. The outcome of our thesis labour has been archieved via clinical interviews and testimonies of himalayist moutaineers
Lévy, Alexandre. « Conception et conditions d'existence du fantasme dans la psychose : argument psychopathologique et psychanalytique ». Rennes 2, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007REN20013.
Texte intégralThis research developps the thesis of phantasm’s existence in psychosis, phantasm as a formation supporting subjective structure specificities. Our study refers to the clinical and psychoanalytical field. In the first part, we set up the historical context of phantasm’s notion, the emergence and evolution of the conceptions, up to the logical and topological formalization. The developments about the notion of object “a” allowed us to specify the phantasm’s situation related to concepts such as the desire and the jouissance. In a second part of the research, we introduce the question of psychosis, while arguing the radical absence of the phantasm as a fundamental structure in the subjective inscription. In the third part, we consider the possible development of a phantasm in psychosis, as attempted construction supporting the structure far from a clinical and psychopathological decompensation. We can notice this suppleance’s mode often related to the major need to achieve a cutting, splitting the subject from the object of jouissance

Texte intégralPsychosis teaches us about an "ailment" that afflicts ail humans: they are beings made of speech, whose relationship with the animated realm has always been traumatic. This Lacanian outlook undermines the neo-humanistic and scientific-like approach of psychosis promoted by the DSM, in which psychosis is either turned into a banality or chastised, placed as it is on the continuum neurosis-psychosis and disconnected from the talking cures even by many psychoanalysts. This pre-Freudian perspective sustains the scientific psychiatry as well as the neurosciences; in their prevalent discourse, hallucination is still considered as a false perception which can disappear through medication try to show here that a perspective which is both logic and inspired by the fundamentals of modern science can maintain that, for a human being, speech and the organic factor are interconnected following the three Lacanian registers, the real, the symbolic, and the imaginary. The resulting body (corps) is neither the corpse examined in laboratories nor an element of statistics. And if the subject as an effect of language vanishes within the field of the drive and of "jouissance", this does not mean that it is non-existent, since a subject can be supposed as soon as speech encounters the living body. Based on this distinction, I propose a conceptual and clinical investigation of American psychoanalysis, especially of one of its "post modern" branches, intersubjectivity. Two case studies, one by an American psychoanalyst, the other my own, are meant to demonstrate that it is the analyst's position in transference that plays the decisive role with respect to "any possible treatment of psychosis"

Texte intégralTo address the matter of the singularity of psychoanalysis compared to other approaches on human psyche, we have chosen to focus on the Freudian concept of overdetermination.Psychoanalysis has a singular place within the intellectual domain and its relationship to the matter of care. As well, psychoanalysis is being held half-way between science and philosophy. But it also seems to lead to a certain form of resistance, sometimes quite persistent and visceral which shows of its specificity. In order to study this matter we will work on a both historical and epistemological level, focusing on the notion of Overdetermination. We will see in-depth the birth of the concept in S.Freud’s work and the influence of overdetermination on Freud’s emancipation from medicine principles. We will then turn to B. Spinoza, L. Althusser and G. Bachelard, in particular to better illustrate the significance of the notion of causality in the scientific process. Lastly the work of Lacan will provide some understanding of the importance overdetermination has had in the epistemology of psychoanalysis as well as its relationship to psychopathology by introducing an irreducible degree of indetermination and a specific approach to the notions of truth and certainty. We will also revisit the relevance of overdetermination within the plethora of theories and psychoanalytical practices, as well as in their relationship to other scientific fields

Texte intégralPsychical transmission is the mainspring of human subject construction done not only by symbol and value transmission, but also by unconscious transmissions. Past traumas can be repeated in the psyche of subjects of the same family, as an individual or family symptoms, through the movement of an unconscious within the family. Then we are in front of a "symptom-subject" of the family which fonctions as a link in a signifying chain. The absence of paternal fonction keeps pending the symbolic System and the signifier. Hence transgenerational trace develops. Unbounded subjects, free from symbolic law, can frequently persist in acting out and self destruction. We are interested with all the metapsychology : we can see the process of "dis-idealization", the weak super-ego and ideal ego, the dominating death drive, the rift in symbolic System, the real stealing a lead over the symbolic System. We observe the subject repeating the real as a symptom in order to find the symbolic realm. The taboo works as a trauma or a debt with a symbolic transmission, an unknown heritage, according and an unconscious culpability conveyed from one generation to another. The writing of the trauma and the effect produced by the culpability leave a trace. We call it writing of the family history through the use of symptoms, as an attempt to represent traumatic effects. The repulsed psychic event will take a disastrous magnitude in the unconscious, carries on symptoms, which form a discourse, as an appeal to the symbolic System

Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université Côte d'Azur, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024COAZ2008.
Texte intégralThis research aims to find out what psychopathology is theorized by Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis, how it is defined and what new developments it inaugurates. We hypothesize that Freudian psychoanalytic psychopathology is not as simple to define as if it were unique or immutable. On the contrary, we believe we will find within psychoanalysis movements and developments which make it possible to highlight different ways of describing psychological suffering. In other words, we assume that, although Freudian psychoanalysis has a unique thread that guides its theory, it does not provide a single psychopathological description, but that different readings of the disease emerged from the clinic and from each theoretical invention. To investigate our hypothesis, we divided the present work into four chapters, the first being historical, the second theoretical, the third nosological and the fourth clinical. Firstly, we will give a brief history of how the “pathos” was portrayed throughout history, and we will illustrate it through a comparison between the periods of Ancient Greece, the Middle Ages and the Modern Age. This chapter will aim to present not only the changes in the ways of portraying the disease in the transition from one era to another, but also to demonstrate the different psychopathological readings within the same historical period. In the second chapter, we will enter the Freudian psychoanalytic field itself. We will take different Freudian concepts as a basis and investigate whether these different conceptual inventions presented throughout the author's work were promoting, as we suppose, reinterpretations in his psychopathological field. In the third chapter, we will find out how Freud describes the clinical condition of melancholia. We chose melancholy because it is an issue that runs through all of Freud's work. And as its theory is marked by movements and evolutions based on the creation of new concepts, we seek to know whether this dynamic nature of the theory produces consequences in the way of conceptualizing this clinical presentation. To conclude, we will investigate seven Freudian clinical cases in an attempt to find out how they are constructed and which theoretical resources the author uses to construct his psychopathological hypotheses. From the clinic, we seek to demonstrate whether our research hypothesis is true or not. This research is based exclusively on the psychoanalytic framework and is primarily a theoretical-clinical research. Therefore, the analysis methodology is subordinated to the assumptions of this theory, which determines, in the development of this research, the exclusive use of methodological resources characteristic of theoretical-bibliographic research, such as readings, information collection, bibliographic survey, text comparison, without any empirical part or even quantification. Because the question asked concerns Freudian concepts, the sources to be used will be primarily primary, justified based on theoretical relevance and consistency and reliability to the concepts involved. Freud marked the direction of a research perspective based on psychoanalytic clinical experience. He left as a legacy a work that points to the articulation of this experience in the form of theory. And it is from this perspective that we allow ourselves to be guided in the proposal and development of this research project, articulating clinical and theory in the investigation of Freudian psychoanalytic psychopathology

Texte intégralThis thesis covers study and elaboration of a general problematic common to "heavy" psychopathologic clinic (psychosis and autism, dementia, intensive care), concerned by subjective, identity, reconstitution (or constitution) in domains reputed to be deserted by subjectivity, unapproachable and irreversible (except on intensive care). The study has clinical, theoritical bases and objectives and psychotherapeutic application. It shows them in different domains and on a double option : subjectivity existence (or its potentiality) in all states and clinical appearences and its possible (re) constitution. It implies conceptual ways to think this psychopathology : corporal anchorage, defensive process, psychoanalytic models (psyche origins, etc. ). Psychosis model shows pertinent on all levels, although not assimilated to other clinical problematics

Texte intégralThis essay entitled "essai dans le cadre de la théorie de la mediation" comes within Jean Gagnepain's theoretical approach which he develops in his seminars at the user of language et des sciences de la culture de Rennes, France, within, an thanks to this method, I will aim at defining a few prolegomena to a clinical approach of the person. The clinical outlook has often been viewed as a practical application of knowledge either in medicine or human science, this study will be devoted to the analysis of clinical facts in so far as they encompass characteristics and processes which reach beyond the circumstantial purposes be they conceptual or practical of such and such an intervention. This essay aims at questioning the structural characteristics of the clinical situation itself, and in order to do so, it will use some points that the psychoanalytical field has highlighted, it will postulate that the processes involved are likely to be those which are affected in a number of different pathologies that the theory of mediation links with some malfunctioning in the structure of the person, this essay will not seek to offer a nosographical study, but will rather intend to examine the framework which can probably be considered as a reagent capable of revealing the specific features of these pathologies. The study will endeavour to analyse the relationships and differences in method which can be noticed between, on the on an , the field of scientific approach of the human being and, on the other, that of clinical practice, it will indeed be assumed that although these two approaches can be used together in so far as each proceeds from "cultural faculties", they are to be distinguished one from the other as far as their organisation is concerned. The study will tend to draw a line between the clinical approach and its various applications, be they the therapeutics it allows or the aiming at verifying or testing procedures which places it within the frame of scientific approach. The study will then focus on themes which have surfaced in the course of clinical sessions and will confront these data with the limits of such a situation, those limits define the point of maximum tension and outline the main problems of a clinical approach of the person, within which various pathological entities will have to be differentiated clinically

Texte intégralPsychosomatic disorders are classically related to the body outside the brain. Yet, as the Freudian concept of actual neuroses lets us imply, there is no reason why the circuits of the brain cannot be affected by a psychosomatic process. For Lacan the psychosomatic phenomena are related to the creation of a conditioned reaction of the organism through signifiers, which having frozen and therefore lost their signifying function are transformed into signs, which coming from the Other, obtain an imperative quality for the organism, thus disturbing its function. Peirce’s phaneroscopy helps us conceptualise this procedure as a semiotic reduction which proceeds from the thirdness of the signifier to the secondness of the signal (which can bring about conditioned reflexes or reactions ofa different kind) or even go further to thefirstness of complete automation. Yet, beyond the typical psychosomatic phenomena this process of semiotic reduction could also apply to mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, delirious mood, athymhormia, panic disorder and so on) and other clinical conditions likewise. According to Post this clinical phenomenon of the tendency towards automation f is a result ofthe kindiing neurophysiological mechanism which could explain passing from mood disorders of reactional type to more automatic mood states. Stahl claimed that kindling might well result in a excitotoxicity and neuronal apoptosis and tend to confuse neurological with psychiatric illnesses. Despite this, for us, through the process of semiotic reduction we can distinguish neurological diseases from psychosomatic brain procedures that are part of psychiatric disorders
Guevara, Carlos. « Approche psychopathologique du symptome dans les maladies de la modernité ». Poitiers, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009POIT5025.
Texte intégralThis approach of the notion of symptom within the field of the psychopathology oriented by psychoanalysis is based on a perspective both historical and epistemological. Its aim is to point out essential evolution of the clinical outlook beginning with its origins, in the medicine of Antiquity and the Classical Age, up to the contemporary transformations following the “technicist” postmodern conceptions regarding suffering and psychic health. The basic contribution brought by the psychoanalytic conception at the beginning of the XXth century consists in the reintroduction of the Subject which suffers within a problematic largely dominated by an organicist determinism issued from XIXth century psychiatry. Due to Freud and to its definition of the symptom as realisation of an unconscious wish, and then as a defence as a response to anxiety, a particular conception of the subject of the unconscious is substituted for a conception purely pathological. It was then with Lacan that the path opened by Freud, concerning the real as well as the symbolic dimension of the symptom, will be actualized from a conceptual point of view, which also allowed for a treatment and clarifying of the clinic phenomena that characterise our epoch. This contribution constitutes a commentary on the set of these phenomena as well as on the logic that guides them, and it considers in detail two particular issues: depression and the Alzheimer type dementia. Following the conceptual argumentation, its main interest consists in bringing to light the clinical and ethical scope which concerns the fact of maintaining psychoanalysis as a effective offer in order to meet and treat the discontent of the subject of our times

Texte intégralIn the field of massive obesity the body is the hostage and the dictator, the subject beingsimultaneously the victim and the assailant. The stigmatizing look of the other implies anunspeakable psychic pain for those whose body is different from the one expected to be conform to the present norms. The obese subject in a singular corporal presentification is torn between the principle of pleasure which gives him an urge-driven satisfaction and the principle of reality which organizes the impassable guilt. This culpability is strengthened by a narcissistic infringement and increased the other's look. This guilt also implies the hate of the image and furthers the silence of affects. What does it mean to produce more of body which manifests as more weight? Which disjunction goes through the subjects, between their will and their capacities, between what they consciously know and what they unconsciously desire? The study of the ambivalent relationships between medicine/culture/norm/orality helps us to foresee hypotheses which are different from those of the eating disorders 'classic theories. Through a clinical work, one can consider the hypothesis of a psychic state between loss and melancholy. Starting from the practice of interviews the obese subjects has an to start a motion from the look to the speech in order to free him from his mixed up state between shame and rejection, and to give him back dignity

Texte intégralSuicides at workplaces, received as the peak of a suffering-at-work phenomenon, confirm the unease in the culture as well as it sends back its mystery to the social sphere. These suicides ask insistent questions to the working society and peculiar ones about the acting out. First this thesis endeavours to establish the epistemological basis, that is to say the sociologicals and psychoanalyticals ones, that enable to explain both the question and the effects suicides establish. Then, thanks to a clinical case, we will suggest a particular distinction between the unconscious causality of the acting out on the one hand, and the consistency of the phenomenon’s serial organization on the other hand.

Texte intégralThe difficulty in believing in recovery cannot be explained by the laws of reason, since its acceptance is normally rule d by an internal logic whose stakes are both manifold and overdetermined. Here is what a psychopathology of recovery mea ns as its theoretical developments are grounded on clinical data. If indeed it seems obvious, in the field of child cancerology, that physical recovery, once acknowledged and foretold by the doctor, refers only to the child that has bee n running a lethal danger, the status of what is normally called psychological recovery is far from being the same. The latter is not just at stake for the child when he or she has become an adult it also implies (if not most of the time ev en more) his parents. And our aim here is to show how, within its psychological dimension, recovery does exist only when each one recovers feeling of his identity or, to mention things with a more commonplace wording, when one is resuming the possibility of saying in everyday language : "i. . . Do. . . ". Yet physical recovery and psychological re covery are far from being easily distinguished even if they do not take place jointly. Such a time lag can be accounted for through the new surge within the parents' thoughts and fantasies of some representations thitherto repressed or conc ealed because of concerns with the child's sickness. These representations wich normally arise through the questioning o f life hopes restored to the child, stress the function of unconscious fantasies around the theme of an unescapable pros pect of death to come. Our hypothesis here held is as follows : if we may believe it pertinent to qualify such represent ations as being infanticide, we cannot accept to admit that they betray death wishes solely aimed at the real child. It would rather seem that the child himself is the privileged seat of such wishes. (. . . )

Texte intégralThe teenager faces the pubertal will face the "evil" of the drive and the sexual. The remedies are limited to the extent that repression is weakened by internal violence. The work of the preconscious acts as a protective shield against the inside of puberty and the influx of instinctual adolescence. By linking the representations of words with the preconscious representations of things will "work" the drive from inside, to represent the metabolize and psychically. The whole issue of representational of "representability" of symbolism is at stake And it is as an agent that symbolizes the preconscious will be a very effective bulwark against burglary puberty. In short, this is a reexamination process and adolescent psychopathology of adolescence from a economic standpoint and in terms of the preconscious

Texte intégralIn this thesis we pursue a work of formulation of the model of the standard defined by Jean Gagnepain up to the point of necessary precision to claim to interpret five clinical corpuses of neurosis according to three analytical aspects (dialectic, axialité, reciprocity) and three dissociations (speech, stratagem, transfer). We adduce the analogy sign / standard there to refer to us in the médiationnistes studies of the aphasia. It is mutually that the types(chaps) of neurosis define themselves: every chapter thus makes echo to the others. These five corpuses come to consolidate the fundamental hypothesis of the immanence of an axiologique analysis with what they supply us, by proofs and damage, the criteria. The autolyse of the security or the title shows itself by the delusion(decoy) of the urgent there require or are these patients has to redefine explicitly a behavioral identity or has to re-deduct explicitly a behavioral unity. The delusion of this obnubilation which breaks with the reciprocity pawns

Texte intégralObjective of this research is to determine the psychodynamic factors in the process of marginalization defined by partial, sub-total and total abdiction, and to prove the ties between the mode of abdictive functionning and the mode of personality organization. It intends also to show that variability of the mode of abdictive operating depends on the variability of modes of functionning and of the personality organization in which reveals (registers) the psychopathology of ties. The sample is constituted by two independent groups : a group of 23 subjects registered in a social dynamic rehabilitation situation and a group of 35 subjects in an emergency social situation. The results demonstrate the common process to abdiction (the tie's psychopathology), that depend on the personality's organization and functioning mode. The psychopathology of ties is present in 96 % of cases. The mode of functioning and organisation of the borderline personality superior level covering borderline, narcissistic and dependent personality disorders, is linked to the partial abdiction in 19 % of cases. The functioning and organization mode of borderline inferior level, that is the narcissistic, dependent, evitent and antisocial personality disorders, is linked to the sub-total abdiction in 53 % of cases. The mode of functioning of the psychotic personality as a defensive organization installed by subjects is used to fight against the intolerance of anguish and the pathologically fragmented states, is linked to total abdiction in 27 % of cases

Texte intégralTo the Freudian question « What does a woman want? » Lacan postulates the non-existence of « Ⱦhe woman », driven bythe idea of a split feminine enjoyment. This less enigmatic formulation invites one to consider the unconscious hatch mark as that of the woman « defamed ». The reality of a « pastout »that the language structure of the unconscious bears inheritance through its unconscious stigmata, and which the study of the signifiers of clothing reveals. Thus, to read clothing in the field of the symbolic shows the supposed frivolity pinned to the interest of dress. This leads to a reading of the function of the garment shifted from its imaginary prejudices, but rather inscribed in its structural foundation. Thence this questions the knotting of women to dresses, and the modes of enjoyment that accompany them. To be woven as « phallus », a dress can be anchored in feminine subjectivity, hence the logic underlying the multiplicity of dresses in the existence of certain women. Object of desire, a dress engages a woman who wears it as much as a man who looks at it, because in its function of capturing glances it articulates to the scopic impulse and to the « object a » that is the glance. Then questions her narcissistic function and what a woman can find in her image: would it be that in support of a dress, the hysteric could be « Other » for herself, when for a man the obstinacy to keep women on the side of the image, would come as a blockage faced with the enigma of femininity. This would indicate that for the « One » and the « Other », to be as pretty as a picture would participate in the accoutrements of love

Texte intégralThis research was based on the above-mentioned case hospitalised ind the neonatal reanimation service and on the autistic state presented. After clinical examination we conclued that the autistic state observed was not a normal autistic state but an autistitic state of "protection" as a reaction tho the higly medicalises environment in which the newborn found it self and to the numerous occasions of "physical aggression" on the body brought about ley necessary medical care essential to the survival of the child. To these aggressions was added a precocious rupture of the link between mother and child posing thas a problem of a deficiency of mother love. We upheld, on the basis following the theoretical psycho-analytic model, that the newborn infant in this premature state could come out of its said state using a psychotherapy of a "materbal" type which allows the installation of an object relation. We were brougth to conclude that the psycho-sensory-moteur developpment installs it self as soon as there is a presence of another mother being which places the newborn in a subject situation with a future and this regardless of foetal age within clearly the limits of possibility

Texte intégralThis thesis finds its origin in iterative clinical observations of a suicidal adolescent population hospitalized in psychiatric hospital. Temporal grammatical inversions pointed out in their discourse about their suicidal reaction question their subjective temporal registration. The tools of research employed to explore this hypothesis are organized in two parts : a clinical interview and some projective tests (T. A. T. , "Phrases à compléter de Stein"). This material is designed for a population made up of two adolescents who never thought of suicide and five suicidal adolescents (girls only). What matters is to evaluate how this grammatical expression is linked with the unconscious, in an address an Other. This manifestation is questionned from a developmental view, before considering them with the psychoanalytic theory. The concept of temporal horizon doesn't make easier the comprehension of the phenomenon which was noticed. Attempted suicide is then considered as a "failure" in the temporal registration of the young suicidal girl. It takes place in a transitory inhibition of the psychic analysis process and shows also a personnality organisation structured with an unsteady report of castration

Texte intégralStudying the “self-inflicted physical wound” of adolescents and young adults, we wish to bring into the light the phenomenon of putting into act which, taking place during adolescent psychic (re)structuring, suggests a subjective identity questioning. Immediately after puberty, the new adult being must now assume himself as a man or a woman by resorting to a nomination, in that he finds the way to limit his identity. But, if this dialectical reference is missing, the inexpressible question of identity hence remains in balance and can show itself in an anguishing loss of subjective sense, partly resolved through an act. An action that, again putting the body into subjective play, seems to be one of the way to create oneself an ego, without the help of the Other incapable of naming the subjective division which, no longer being significant, becomes a Real cut visible in the image (of oneself). Through the repetition of wounds, the putting into… seems to become the act of a “subject” which, by the small gash that explains itself, can resume an identity questioning, stitching it up as an answer temporally sufficient to give oneself a sort of subjectivity other than linguistic

Texte intégralThe frequency of the particular family configurations brings to the question of transgenerational occurrences of the suicide. Pathological mourning seems to be a paradigm of the transgenerational transmission, as some suicidal behaviors through the punctuations of its processes. Others suicidal behaviors are found in the destinies of death of the sexual instinct. If the death instinct seems to be a destiny of the sexual instinct, it also appears as its negative double. The Freudian Eros is found in the instinctual one and the thought as its positive double. Thanatos is found in its negative double, covering the traumatic one, but this time as a transformable destiny of the traumatism. From the angle of the work of the transmission and the symbol's transmission, the suicidal behaviors show the effects of the impediment of that work. Three models are proposed : "metaphorical", "métonymical" and a model underlain by the myth of eternal return. The suicide raises of a multiple reading, it signs the impediment, the stop or the impossibility of several levels of translation, representation or symbolization in work of psyche

Rennes 2, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988REN20024.
Texte intégralBased on the twenty three year evolution of a psychiatric treatement center finding its roots in the "institutionnal psychotherapy movement" founded by F. Tosquelles, a concern has risen about the place and function of the question : "what does the civil service want?" in the way of "was will das weib" of S. Freud, as elaborated by J. Lacan. This concern falls upon the problem of "dejuridicisation" as a support, in the present social context, of the structure of "forclusion" of the "signifiant du nom du pere", as constitutive of the failure of the paternal metaphor, described by J. Lacan to explain that man may become mad, even as a result of "social psychosis" (J. Lacan). So, the monographic description of the positions taken by the civil service regarding a psychiatric treatement center and its collective actors, which open to psychotic patients the real possibility of being cured ( Freud gave the following definition: "to love and to work") result in an analysis of the logic of contemporary thought abolishing law and genealogy by the failure of representations and their basis: the institution and the myth supporting it. In addition, the field of psychiatric treatement of this center, considered as an attempt to restore the condition of reference to the "paternal function" and to transcendance ("madness is the failure of transcendance". Tosquelles) finds itself struggling which this process aiming to undermine this initiative. It is this practical and theorical work which denominate" institutionnal psychoanalysis"

Texte intégralThe impact of digital devices in psychopathology is a current issue that is fuelling many debates in the scientific literature and clinical practice. New symptoms are attributed to these technological objects questioning their effects on both social bond and subjectivities. After setting the different ways the literature review presents these issues, we show that the analytical paradigm has regularly drawn inspiration from mechanical and mechanistic theoretical models. The Lacanian subject then appears as a frontier concept, just as the Freudian unconscious, which allows us to extract ourselves from the strict human/machine binarism. We show that clinical study of psychoses' structure has, since the beginnings of psychoanalysis, taught practitioners about the (auto-)therapeutic constructions that subjects could carry out by drawing on the machine. We then question the way in which the analytical paradigm can recognize these devices as possible "digital crutches" for the clinical study of psychotic supplementary devices. On the strength of the therapeutic results obtained during digital workshops, we show that it is first and formost the position occupied by the clinician in the transference which can allows us to find therapeutic levers in these objects. This is less a digital clinical practice than a clinical use of digital media. Finally, we question the extent of to which these devices can facilitate or hinder the implementation of these "transferential partnerships". Therefore we propose some clinical and therapeutic orientations in the use of digital objects with psychotic subjects

Texte intégralThe "Narcissistic Personality" covers an extremely wide field ranging different pathologies : the "as if personalities", "antisocials" and psychopatic personalities, different types of perversions and the "neurotic characters". Born in a very precise social and historical context, we try to retrace here the origin, and to understand its extension in contemporary psychoathology. Since the term of "narcissistic personality" is a trans-structural concept, we try to clasifie here its different types in the neurosis-psychosis structural diagnosis perspective

Texte intégralAnalysis of the original features of tat stories in subjects presenting depressive states, narcissic deficits of borderline states. These types of psychic functioning lead us to consider the tat as testing the ability to fantasy making; it also brings forth various modalities of thought which enable the "thinking-fantasizing" to circulate in non-neurotic economy systems, when the oedipal fantasy fails to organize the movement of psychic life. This method of interpretation is based on the methodology elaborated by Vica Shentoub, emphasizing modes of defense and of oedipal organization: it also is a means of outlining the thought mechanisms which are characteristic of the economy systems under study, through their similarities and differences which other organizations: the psychotic (mainly schizophrenia), the perverse and the depressive. An exhaustive analysis of tat stories of active alcoholics and non-drinking alcoholics (in the 3rd part of the thesis) enables us to offer an example of a clinical interpretation based on this approach of the projective situation
Guiter, Bernard. « Le lien du sacré et ses vicissitudes ». Montpellier 2, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996MON30050.
Texte intégralModern times have chosen to substitute a moral based on the sacred for one based on economy. Consequently, it led to the breaking up of the social link developped by the religions, together with the disenchantment of a world deceived about the explanations of its origins, the postponement of its end, and deprived of the mythical interpretations of these phenomena. So, we are going to study the elaboration of the link sacred, wich works on two levels. First of all : vertical (link between the faithful and his own god) and horizontal (link among the faithful themselves). Whe will then analyse the fluctuations of this link : hypertrophy of the vertical one (mystical dimension) and hypotrophy of the horizontal one (gnostic dimension) together with the consequences of the disappearance of that link (fanatism, integrism, sectarism)

Texte intégralThe self-injury behaviour phenomenon, arose during the 50s in the USA, has progressively spread across the western culture in a pandemic manner. At the crossing point of social and psychopathological logics, it mainly affects teenagers and involves a visual mark that defies classical psychiatric concepts. The circumscribed time of the emergence of this symptom opens the opportunity to study the interaction between contemporary representations of individuality and unconscious dynamics. A convergence point can be found for one part at the symbolical level, with the signification that this praxis can carry out, and for another part at the level of the body, the area of choice for the expression of the individuality and its desires. The adolescence, being precisely the moment where psychical reorganization accompanies the advent of an accomplished status of this individuality, can shed light on determinations that take part in this phenomenon. The redefinition of the individual with regard to a body that is now reduced to a mere image can be considered as one of the major consequences of social transformations. But the adolescence has its own specificities and stands at the tension point between different forces that rule our neoliberal societies. The conflicts that agitate puberty, particularly as they tend to be followed by acts, also tend to express themselves within the frame of these tensions, up to the point of reaching body mutilation. When considered in the perspective of a genealogy that links it up to self-flogging practices, this phenomenon can be considered like a form of subversion of the normalizing forces. This is why it falls under the field of "power clinic"

Texte intégralAdèle Hugo was born between two revolutions : the literary one and the political one known as The French Revolution. The last-born, she has been introduced by her father as « a work promising to live ». We learnt thanks to Adèle how a fore-written inscription, this ascription as an object, determined the young woman’s subjective position; therefore,we have been able to see her psychic construction. Her life had been marked by many breaks. The first one, at birth, her parents get assunder ; the second was the mariage and the death of her sister, then the imposed exile by her father, and at last her own exiles. Adèle who was not the favorite daugther, made all her best to become « the exceptional daugther » of this extraordinary man. To no avail. Writing in « a new langage », she consignes her spirit. Her writing, work of the letter, allowed her to have a nearly normal life, till the day she met Leutenant Pinson ; her sister, through spiritism told her « mysister, love him ! »

Texte intégralWhat is the state of the body during psychosis and serious illness? Is there a connection between the repression of affects, delirium, and somatisations? How does the mother's wish for the death of her child produce serious maltreatment, to the extent that it is projected onto her own baby's body? How to treat physical and psychological suffering without trying to "treat" the pain of existence? Can the inclination of the analyst allow the subject to gain access to the pleasures of existence, temporality and finitude? The first section touches on the theme of what becomes to the affect during psychosis, according to the theories of Freud and Lacan. Does the concept of anguish have the qualities necessary to ease the transition of the object to the status of subject? The second section will follow the life of Sylvie through the form of a monograph to examine what psychosis reveals about the experiences of the patient and / or their psychic structure. Issues concerning the psychotic patient can be understood through organic signs, feelings, and transference. Monitoring the effects of this work over the following period of 11 years allows an account of the benefits and limitations of the methods chosen, leading to an analysis of the progress made between disciplines and of their aporias. I will illustrate the result obtained with Sylvie in particular, while considering the limitations of this type of work. Finally I will show how this research can pave the way forward in the therapy of psychosis from a monistic perspective, taking into account the reciprocal nature and interpenetration of body and spirit

Texte intégralPart one of this thesis presents various conceptualization and interpretations of the experience as well as behavior of bereavement and grief using 20th century models of psychopathology. Recent descriptive naturalistic, longitudinal and epidemiological studies of the general population helped define the clinical aspects of "normative grief", and in particular the model of "non complicated bereavement (DSM-III, DSM-IV, CIM 10). Grief normally evolves according to four stages (shock, separation anxiety and research behaviour, working through one's grief and spontaneously resolving depression, and finally a stage of recuperation), with each stage having its own characteristics. Conversely, abnormal, psychiatric, or pathological grief has been defined, and in particular the model of "complicated grief" which is characterized by chronicity as well as by psychosocial and somatic complications. The ICG (Inventory of complicated grief, Prigerson et al. , 1995-1996) is a quantitative instrument specific to grief which allows for distinguishing separation distress and traumatic distress on the one hand, and the grief reactions of depression and anxiety on the other. Using a dimensional approach, the ICG helps identify bereaved persons at high risk for psychological and somatic disorders (cancer, heart disease, etc. . . ), and its therefore of major interest in a health psychology. As twenty percent of all bereaved subjects will present with complicated grief, this represents an important public health concern. Part 2 of this thesis reviews the controversys relative to the different qualitative and/or quantitative approaches to bereavement and grief, and in particular the quantitative grief scales such as the TRIG, CBI and ICG. The 3rd part presents an individual empirical study based on a sample of 108 psychiatric inpatients compared to 100 subjects from the general population. The results of the investigation confirme the excellent construct validity, criterion validity and convergent validity of the ICG, compared to the TRIG
