La cientificidad de la medicina moderna, al alejarse de la particularidad del caso clínico, encuentra en el concepto de Self una metáfora de individualidad. A partir de las dificultades vinculadas a este concepto, el presente artículo analiza la individualidad biológica y su relación al psicoanálisis con la intención establecer un diálogo en torno al trastorno somático. La apertura de un espacio de subjetividad, específicamente en el desafío al saber médico de los trastornos de la inmunidad, permite la introducción de una dimensión humana al sufrimiento orgánico, haciendo posible este diálogo, a través del self.

OBJECTIVE: To review the estimated suicide rates for the Region Metropolitan, the main socio-political center in Chile, for the period 1979-1994, and to determine whether they follow a seasonal pattern. METHOD: Data available for the period 1979-94 at the Forensic Services in Chile was analyzed using ANOVA. RESULTS: It was register 5.386 suicides. While the "warm" months (October, November, December & January) concentrated 39.0% of cases, the so called "cold" months reported 28,7%. This contrast is made even clearer by the month-to-month analysis, showing the highest suicide rate in December (10.9%) against the lowest rate in June (7.0%). Further statistical analysis revealed these differences to be significant. CONCLUSION: The study shows that in Chile, representing as it does the Southern Hemisphere, the suicide rates tend to present a seasonal variation as has elsewhere been determined for in the North Hemisphere.OBJETIVO: Realizou-se revisão das taxas estimadas de suicídio na Região Metropolitana, setor sociopolítico principal do Chile, no período de 1979-94, para determinar se essas taxas seguem um padrão sazonal. MÉTODO: Os dados disponíveis para o período 1979-94 no Serviço Médico Legal foram analisados pela ANOVA. RESULTADOS: Foram registrados 5.386 suicídios, porém, nos meses "cálidos" (outubro, novembro, dezembro, janeiro) concentram-se os 39,0% dos casos. Nos meses frios foram consignados 28,7%. Esta observação fica mais clara pela análise mês a mês, demonstrando taxas mais altas em dezembro (10,0%) e mais baixas em junho (7%). Através de análises estatísticas ficou demonstrado que a diferença é significativa. CONCLUSÃO: Foi demonstrado que no Chile, sendo representativo do Hemisfério Sul, o índice de suicídio tem a tendência de apresentar uma variação sazonal, assim como tem sido demonstrado em numerosas publicações no Hemisfério Norte.

A previously calculated predictive model for health risk selects infants who suffer 4-5 times more morbidity than their unselected peers. Preliminary results suggested that this risk is related to maternal neurotic symptomatology. To evaluate this hypothesis, 52 consecutive mothers whose infants had a positive predictive score (Group 1) and 52 in whom this was negative (Group 2) were evaluated by means of Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire (GHQ - 30). A total of 41.9% and 20.5% of the mothers in Groups 1 and 2, respectively, scored above 11 points in GHQ-30, established as the cut off point. It is concluded that among poor urban families in Santiago mothers of infants with high risk of persistent diarrhoea have increased frequency of detectable neurotic symptoms. New programs aimed at this type of infant should include psychological support for their mothers.

Le sujet autiste investit le langage – quand il l’acquiert – de maniere particuliere, dans une communication factuelle et monocorde qui traduit une desorganisation des limites corporelles et une difficulte de psychisation. Ayant pu faire l’experience clinique de l’avenement d’un langage de l’affect chez le sujet autiste, les auteurs proposent une articulation entre symbolisation et langage dans l’autisme a partir de l’inscription des stereotypies sonores dans une rythmicite capable d’organiser les echanges sensoriels avec l’environnement. Dans le contexte transferentiel, cette inscription semble, en effet, donner acces a une integration de la fonction sensorielle, sonore et musicale du discours dans l’appropriation du langage. L’article illustre cette possibilite d’appropriation musicalisee des rythmes des echanges d’affects et de sensations corporelles dans l’accompagnement d’un garcon de six ans pour lequel un diagnostic de trouble envahissant du developpement avait ete pose. Les vocalisations chez cet enfant ont pu prendre peu a peu corps jusqu’a le rendre present dans la relation, montrant ainsi la possibilite de restaurer un moi-corporel efface. L’advenue du langage fut possible dans la rencontre autour des vocalisations, entendues comme instants-trampoline surprenants venant littoraliser le contexte sensoriel de la rencontre. Rencontre ou la nomination – transferentielle – des impressions et des sensations que l’enfant manifeste semble fondamentale a l’emergence du sentiment d’exister corporellement. Le processus de reapprivoisement du corps, qui passe par la realisation singuliere de la langue dans la prosodie, a ici donne acces a une forme de langage supportant une reelle rencontre qui passe notamment par le regard et la voix.

Le present article propose une elaboration metapsychologique de la construction du lien individuel et de l’inscription sociale a partir d’un travail de supervision d’une equipe d’intervention psychosociale aupres d’immigrants de l’Europe de l’Est en situation de precarite a Paris. L’ecart temporel et spatial dans ce travail parait necessaire face au poids de l’actuel de la rue, ainsi que l’importance de ce qui est fait in presentia et qui met l’un et l’autre, le sujet en situation de precarite et l’intervenant, en situation de regression du fait de ce decalage produit par la rencontre dans la langue. Le travail de figurabilite de l’intraduisible de ces mots partages est propose a l’interieur du dispositif, comme une instance capable de renouer perception et langage, sortant ainsi le sujet de la sideration traumatique dans un recit devenu possible a partir de la figuration de la rencontre par cet autre qui reactualise la possibilite d’un lien fiable.

Objetivo Intentamos establecer las hipótesis de trabajo del analista confrontado a la irrupción del cuerpo en la cura y que permiten elaborar transferencialmente la violencia pulsional. Procedimientos La experiencia clínica de los autores con un niño establece las bases teóricas que interrogan el rol del cuerpo. Este es luego analizado transferencialmente en tres situaciones clínicas. Conclusiones La presencia actual del analista es articulada respecto de su deseo. El cuerpo del analista permite actualizar, en la transferencia, el desplazamiento entre el registro yoico imaginario y el registro simbólico en el que emerge el sujeto. Objetivo Estabelecemos hipóteses relativas ao trabalho do analista que enfrenta a irrupção do corpo no tratamento que permitem elaborar na transferência a violência da pulsão. Procedimentos A experiência clínica dos autores com uma criança pequena constitui a base teórica a partir da qual o papel do corpo é questionado. As atualizações do corpo no tratamento são então analisadas em sua relação à transferência em 3 três situações clínicas. Conclusões A presença atual do analista é articulada ao seu desejo. O corpo do analista abre à atualização, na transferência, do deslocamento entre o Eu imaginário e Eu simbólico no qual surge o sujeito. Purpose We establish hypotheses referring to the work of psychoanalysts’ who are confronted by the drive violence that characterizes the sudden emergence of the body within de psychoanalytical setting. Procedures The clinical experience of the authors with a small child provides the theoretical basis for analysis of the role of the body. Three different clinical situations are then transferentially analyzed. Conclusions The presence of the psychoanalyst is linked to his desire. The body of the psychoanalyst allows is open to actualization, in transference, of displacement from an imaginary Self towards a symbolic Self in which the subject emerges. Objectif Nous établissons des hypothèses sur le travail de l’analyste confronté à l’irruption du corps dans le traitement lui permettant d’élaborer transférentiellement la violence pulsionnelle. Procédure L’expérience clinique des auteurs avec un enfant en bas âge a permis d’établir les bases théoriques à partir desquelles le rôle du corps est interrogé. Les actualisations du corps dans le traitement sont ensuite illustrées à travers trois situations cliniques. Conclusions La présence actuelle de l’analyste est référée à son désir. Le corps de l’analyste ouvre à l’actualisation, dans le transfert, du déplacement du moi en je, puis du je vers un moi unifié. Ziel Es sollen Arbeitshypothesen für die Arbeit des Analytikers formuliert werden, der mit der plötzlichen Manifestation des Körpers während der Heilung konfrontiert wird, wobei die Triebgewalt in der Übertragung erarbeitet werden kann. Vorgehen Basierend auf der klinischen Erfahrung der Autoren mit einem Kleinkind werden theoretische Grundlagen entwickelt, um die Rolle des Körpers zu erläutern. Die Aktualisierungen des Körpers während der Heilung werden dann anhand dreier klinischer Situationen illustriert. Schlussfolgerungen Die aktuelle Präsenz des Analytikers ist mit seinem eigenen Begehren verbunden. Der Körper des Analytikers ermöglicht die Aktualisierung, in der Übertragung, der Verschiebung von einem imaginären Ich hin zu einem symbolischen Ich, was zur Manifestation des Subjekts führt. 目的 分析家面对治疗中身体的呈现,这允许他以移情的方式转化冲动性的暴力,我们在本文中建立了这一分析家工作的假设。 过程 作者和一个低龄儿童工作的临床经历构成了反思身体在治疗中的作用的基础。在本文中,治疗中身体的呈现通过三个临床片段加以描述。 结论 分析家的在场关联于分析家的欲望。分析家的身体,通过移情的过程,使得患者由想象的自我朝向符号的自我的转变得以可能,在此过程中主体得以出现。

11. Figurabilidad fílmica: el estatuto pictográfico del cine
- Author

Derek Humphreys
- Abstract
Lo real, la experiencia, son del orden de lo discontinuo, de lo fragmentario. A partir de estos pedazos de percepción, la secuencia de imágenesen-movimiento permite la organización de un relato, de un guion que permite disfrazar el horror de la mirada, de lo real, detrás de una supuesta continuidad. ¿Imaginaria o fantasmática, qué valor dar a estas secuencias? Jugando con la velocidad y el movimiento, la producción de David Lynch restituye ciertas series fantasmáticas desarticuladas, remitiéndonos al sentido primero del fantasma como imagen icónica. Por su parte, Raúl Ruiz parece construir jeroglíficos a partir de las imágenes fantasmáticas de la escritura de Klossowsky, haciendo aparecer el elemento faltante dentro de un juego de iconos, vacíos y suspendidos, en “la hipótesis del cuadro robado”. Engaño o necesidad, la construcción de una imagen-movimiento como fundamente de un relato permita la integración de la experiencia, incluso aquella del trauma, desarrollando así las instancias de reconocimiento social, de la novela individual, del mito colectivo, de una cultura y de una historia. Es a partir de esta reflexión sobre el valor de la imagen icónica en el cine, en su relación al fantasma y al relato civilizador, que este artículo analiza el personaje ausente en el film Caché de Haneke y su relación à la reconstrucción (o a la ausencia de construcción) histórica y traumática de la guerra de Argelia en Francia.

Resume Cet article se propose d’interroger, a travers l’evocation d’une relation transferentielle forte vecue par l’auteur avec un patient psychotique, les effets d’un cadre de soin extrahospitalier, organise sur le modele d’un club therapeutique. Ce dernier avait ete pense, au temps du mouvement de la Psychotherapie Institutionnelle, comme une piece maitresse du dispositif de transformation de l’institution psychiatrique. La frequentation libre d’un tel lieu, c’est-a-dire hors de toute injonction therapeutique, lui permettant, a notre avis, de s’inscrire dans une dialectique d’utilisation de l’objet au sens pose par Winnicott, avec le regard du soignant comme temoin de cette initiation. L’analyse fait saillir une dynamique d’investissement mettant en jeu le dedans et le dehors permettant de construire, detruire, reconstruire le cadre vers sa reconnaissance en tant qu’objet. L’hypothese etant que ce processus serait susceptible de faire re-entrer le patient psychotique dans un mouvement libidinal de subjectivation progressive par cette interaction particulierement orchestree avec l’objet cadre. L’attention vigilante du soignant, corollaire a une necessite de reparation interne, conduit a une contenance emergeante du dispositif et fonctionne comme un element central dans la possibilite de re-individuation offerte au patient, en tant que revelateur de ce processus d’utilisation.

Resume Medecine et psychanalyse convergent sur un meme sujet, la souffrance corporelle. Ce corps « partage » ouvre la question des rapports complexes entre ces deux pratiques, qui ne considerent pas toujours les memes reperes theoriques ni la meme approche clinique. Un outil d’echange est necessaire a l’etablissement de ce dialogue, qui est theorique mais aussi strategique (concernant la structure hospitaliere) et politique (par rapport aux discours normatifs sur la sante et ses alterations). En effet, cet outil doit considerer le discours medical et les jargons particuliers a la recherche et la pratique hospitaliere tout en restant fidele a sa vocation d’ecoute d’une langue « commune », seule capable d’ouvrir des sens multiples pour le malade lui-meme. Ces aspects, seulement reperables dans la contingence de la clinique, doivent parallelement etre remanies dans un contexte theorique. C’est ainsi que, a partir d’une experience d’ecoute psychanalytique dans une unite d’immunologie et rhumatologie d’un hopital general a Santiago du Chili, le present article essaye de mettre en cause les concepts de singularite individuelle en jeu dans la construction immunologique du Self ainsi que la construction que fait la psychanalyse du corps subjectif, afin de penser la place du sujet et le sens du travail psychanalytique a l’hopital.

Preliminary results suggested that this risk is related to maternal neurotic symptomatology. To evaluate this hypothesis, 52 consecutive mothers whose infants had a positive predictive score (Group 1) and 52 in whom this was negative (Group 2) were evaluated by means of Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-30). A total of 41.9% and 20.5% of the mothers in Groups 1 and 2, respectively, scored above 11 points in GHQ-30, established as the cut off point. It is concluded that among poor urban families in Santiago mothers of infants with high risk of persistent diarrhoea have increased frequency of detectable neurotic symptoms. New programs aimed at this type of infant should include psychological support for their mothers. Mothers, psychology. Mental health. Diarrhea, infantile. Risk.; Resumo Um modelo preditivo previamente calculado para o risco de saúde selecionou crianças que sofriam de 4 a 5 vezes mais de doenças do que seus pares não selecionados. Resultados preliminares sugeriram que esse risco referia-se a sintomas neuróticos maternos. Para avaliar esta hipótese, 52 mães, cuja crian-ça tinha um escore preditivo positivo (grupo 1) e 52 nas quais este escore era negativo (grupo 2), foram avaliados por meio do Questionário de Saúde Geral de Goldberg (GHQ-30). Um total de 41,9% e 20,5% das mães do grupo 1 e 2, respectivamente, tiveram escores acima de 11 pontos no GHQ-30, o qual ficou estabelecido como o ponto de corte. Conclui-se que entre famílias pobres da cidade de Santiago, mães de crianças com alto risco de diarréia persistente tiveram freqüência aumentada de sistemas neuróticos deficitários. Novos pro-gramas visando esse tipo de crianças deveriam incluir apoio psicológico para suas mães.

International audience; To test the hypothesis that the increased health risk of children selected by a previously calculated and validated predictive model is associated with some maternal psychological characteristics, the universe of 107 mothers of children selected by this model was evaluated by means of Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire (GHQ‐30), Raven (Ra) and Rorschach (Ro) tests; 37.4% were cases according to GHQ‐30, 80.9% were < 50th percentile in Ra and 85% exhibited deviant responses in Ro tests. Children whose mother's IQ was < 50th percentile suffered more episodes of total morbidity (Tm) and of diarrhoea (p = 0.0364). Children whose mothers were normal in Ro had less Tm (p = 0.0364) and fewer respiratory symptoms (p = 0.0300) and tended to have less diarrhoea (p = 0.0690). In poor urban families in Santiago psychological maternal characteristics are associated with an increased health risk for the infants. Supportive programmes should consider both biological characteristics of the infants and maternal psychological needs.

International audience; Previous studies showed that mothers of infants selected by a validated predictive model (PM) of morbidity, have features suggestive of psychiatric disorders. During the survey of 49 infants who had a “positive” PM (January to July 1991, who lived in the Southeastern area of Santiago, 28 mothers (age 16-40 years) agreed to be evaluated. Goldberg's General Health Questionaire in its 30-question version modified and validated in Chile was applied by an experienced interviewer. The cut-off point was set at 11/12, as described by M.Trucco in his validation study. In 15/28 (53.6%) of the mothers the score exceeded 12 points and were defined as “cases”. Mean, median and range were 10.3, 12, 0-26, respectively. Highest frequencies of response were related to irritability and bad mood, feeling of depression and sadness and headaches (anxiety, depression and somatization). At the begining of the follow up, 34.6% of infants had Weight/Age ≤90% (NCHS), of whom 78% were offspring of “cases”. Of the children who had a total of 20 days or more of diarrhea during the observation period, 36% and 18% corresponded to mothers who were “cases” and “no-cases”, respectively (relative risk = 1.73). Results suggest that a high percentage of these mothers Buffer from psychological disturbances that justify further psychiatric evaluation.

18. La batalla de Chile: imagen, poesía, memoria
- Author

Derek Humphreys
- Abstract
El trauma, por definición, no se inscribe psíquicamente. Por esta razón, la violencia de estado solo deja huellas sin forma que son del orden de lo discontinuo, de lo fragmentado. Frente a esta experiencia, la construcción de una imagen-movimiento como fundamento de un relato permite integrar la experiencia, incluyendo la del trauma, y despliega así una novela individual, una memoria e incluso mitos colectivos de elaboración del horror. Ahora bien, no es solamente una simple referencia a la imagen que permite este relato, sino que es una imagen fantasmática, desfasada de toda organización común y que organiza el relato por la “figuración” que despliega en torno a un vacío enigmático. Es a partir de las películas en las que el artista sudafricano William Kentridge interroga la función del “memorial” en lugares que conocieron la violencia del apartheid –a veces, olvidada– que propongo una mirada sobre la mutación de los registros del documentalista Patricio Guzman, entre la pura inscripción de la imagen en “La batalla de Chile”, hasta el montaje poético de “Nostalgia de la luz”. En este análisis, acerco esta función poética al concepto del fantasma en Freud para pensar luego la noción de creatividad como posibilidad de acceder a la vida a partir de las huellas amorfas originarias de D.W.Winnicott.
