De la normalité comme idéal à la potentialité psychotique

Based on the theories of Joyce McDougall and Piera Aulagnier about the process of identification, this paper questions the idea that psychic normality erected as an ideal is a precondition for establishing psychotic potentiality. The author proposes to differentiate, on the one hand, the concept of psychic "normalization" as resulting from the primary identification of a subject with the desire of the mother and, on the other hand, the concept of "normativation" as leading to the secondary integration of parental discourse. In this perspective, psychotic potentiality would be caused by the ideal normalization to maternal non-desire. Using clinical experience, it will then be a matter of determining this ideal identification of a subject to the non-desire of the mother and developing methods for clinical intervention for the problem.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Of a metapsychological study about the delusional function in the psychic processes of schizophrenia

En nous référant aux théorisations de l’épistémologie psychanalytique, nous concevons la schizophrénie comme résultant d’une expérience traumatique primaire n’ayant pu être intégrée au sein de la subjectivité. Ce traumatisme, nous le rattachons moins à un évènement en tant que tel qu’à la position impensable qu’il désigne pour le sujet. Ainsi, en nous inspirant de la pensée de P. Aulagnier et de R. Roussillon, nous suggérons que le noyau traumatique conditionnant le développement d’une problématique schizophrénique se rapporte à la position d’objet pulsionnel, ou de non-désir, à laquelle se trouve identifié le sujet au sein des premiers échanges avec son environnement. Face à l’impensable de cette position identificatoire, le sujet se voit contraint de s’extraire de la scène relationnelle avec ses objets primaires, se clivant par la même opération du capital représentatif qui lui est associé. Dans ces conditions, nous pensons que le délire, moins d’apparaître comme une production pathologique dépourvue de sens, correspond à un mode de réponse face au retour hallucinatoire de l’impensé traumatique. Aussi, à partir d’une méthodologie qualitative basée sur l’analyse d’une douzaine de cas cliniques, nous mettons en évidence trois principales fonctions du délire dans la schizophrénie. La première, conceptualisée sous le terme de « fonction contenante », procède à la mise en forme et à la transformation signifiante de ce qui ne put être symbolisé de l’expérience traumatique. La seconde, nommée « fonction localisante », tente de situer en dehors du sujet le débordement pulsionnel inhérent au traumatisme primaire. La troisième, appelée « fonction identifiante », permet à la personne délirante de s’attribuer un énoncé identificatoire qui, de manière auto-créée, supplée à l’énigme de son histoire insensée.Enfin, l’analyse de nos données cliniques souligne que ces trois fonctions de l’activité délirante ne se réalisent pas de façon aléatoire mais qu’elles s’articulent selon une logique particulière. Ainsi, nous suggérons qu’à partir de sa triple opération le délire schizophrénique tend à se déployer en un « processus délirant », par lequel le sujet peut rendre pensable et supportable la position traumatique à laquelle il a été identifié au cours de son histoire.By following theories from the psychoanalytical epistemology, we consider schizophrenia as the result of a primary trauma that has not been assimilated within the subjectivity. We connect less this traumatism with an event than with the unthinkable position the subject is identified to. Therefore, being inspired by the thought of P. Aulagnier and R. Roussillon, we suggest that the traumatic nucleus which conditions the development of schizophrenia is related to the position of instinctual object, or of non-desire, to which the subject is identified within the first exchanges with his environment. In view of this unthinkable position, the subject is forced to remove himself from the relationship with his primary objects, splitting off from the representative capital that is associated with it. In these conditions, we think that the delusion appears less as a meaningless pathological production than as a way of answering to the hallucinatory return of the traumatic unthought. From a qualitative methodology based on the analysis of a dozen clinical cases, we highlight three main functions of the delusion in schizophrenia. The first, conceptualized under the term «containing function», carries out the shaping and the significant transformation of what could have not been symbolized of the traumatic experience. The second, called «localizing function», tries to locate outside of the subject the instinctual overflow inherent to the primary trauma. The third, named «identifying function», enables the delusional person to assume an identificatory principle which, in a self-created way, compensates for the enigma of his senseless history.Finally, the analysis of our clinical data underlines that these three functions of the delusional activity are not randomly accomplished but are organized according to a particular logic. Thus from its triple operation, we suggest that the schizophrenic delusion tends to develop into a «delusional process», by which the subject can make thinkable and bearable the traumatic position to which he was identified during his history.Doctorat en Sciences Psychologiques et de l'éducationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe

Traitement et guérison: D'Une clinique idéaliste à une clinique pragmatique

How can clinical experience teach us what distinguishes the notions of cure and treatment in their therapeutic tool value? Based on theoretical propositions set out by A. Zenoni from J. Lacan's lessons and the case study of a patient hospitalized in compulsory commitment, the article highlights the operative and even necessary aspect of a care that is not oriented by cure ideal. A major consequence of this is the shift from an idealistic practice to a pragmatic practice that focus on what is never cured for every subject.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Nerve growth factor in the developing craniofacial region of the mouse embryo.

Nerve growth factor (NGF), demonstrated by immunohistochemistry, appears during craniofacial development of the mouse in several embryonic tissues. First, NGF is present in the neural and placodic tissues of early embryos. At later stages, NGF staining appears in premuscular and precartilaginous blastemata, as well as in the tooth germs. The presence of NGF in muscular primordia is probably in relation with its putative trophic effect on target tissues. However, cartilaginous expression of NGF supports the view that this molecule could play a role in the regulation of preskeletal differentiation.Journal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
