Naples

The City of the Soul

di Marino Niola

editore: Raffaello Cortina Editore

"Naples is a universal metaphor for the human condition and its contradictions, passions, and obsessions, capable of overcoming all linguistic and cultural barriers” Naples is much more than a city. It is a powerful metaphor for human existence, a place where the soul finds refuge, in a dense network of meditations between the natural and the supernatural, between men and ghosts, between the living and the dead. The magic of Naples speaks to us all, its streets, faces and traditions becoming symbols of a human experience that goes beyond the physical boundaries of the city. Marino Niola’s story invites us to explore the most intimate side of Naples, a place that speaks to the soul and encourages an authentic confrontation with oneself and the world. The anatomy of a city that is a living encyclopedia of humanity.

Bad Influence

Bertrand Russell: Dissident, Atheist and Pacfist

di Piergiorgio Odifreddi

editore: Raffaello Cortina Editore

The analysis of a great “immoral” thinker of the twentieth century to address the most thorny issues of our time. In an era marked by fanaticism and obscurantism, Bertrand Russell stands out as a luminous and provocative figure. His extraordinary vision of free and creative man invites us to refl ect on freedom from power, freedom of worship and the importance of critical thinking. Russell proposes an education reform that encourages young people to form their own judgements independently, to think and feel with their own voices, rather than passively accepting the opinions of others. Russell still offers us valuable tools to resist groupthink and conformity. A hundred years later, his legacy continues to inspire and guide new generations, confirming him as one of the most original and lucid thinkers of modernity.

Putin's Country

20 Russian Words Used in Propaganda

di Gian Piero Piretto

editore: Raffaello Cortina Editore

What do 20 words stolen from history reveal about Putin's country? This book is not a cold political analysis, but a glimpse into today's life in Russia. Once upon a time, there were words that described the identity of a population. Sobornost’, the spiritual union between individuals; prostór, the boundless space that attracted and repelled with its immensity; stabìl’nost’, the stability and reliability of a system of government. For centuries, these concepts shaped Russian literature, philosophy, and collective memory. Today, those words speak another language. Gian Piero Piretto explores twenty key words of Russian culture, highlighting their original meaning and showing how they have been reinterpreted and exploited by Putin's propaganda. He dismantles stereotypes and monolithic narratives, compares past and present, and offers an unprecedented portrait of contemporary Russia, beyond ideological manipulation and established clichés. An unpublished portrait of contemporary Russia.

The Digital Self

From Mirror Neurons to Technological Mediations

di Vittorio Gallese

editore: Raffaello Cortina Editore

What is the human self becoming in the age of daily interaction with digital devices? An unprecedent exploration of the relationship between body, mind and technology in the digital world. In a world where artificial intelligence generates faces, voices, and presences capable of simulating empathy, the digital self explores an anthropological mutation currently underway. Starting from the neuroscience of embodiment and the now classic theory of embodied simulation, Vittorio Gallese constructs a new paradigm for thinking about contemporary subjectivity. From mirror neurons to algorithmic subjectivity, this book traces an original and multidisciplinary itinerary that crosses neuroscience, philosophy, aesthetics, and media theory to rethink the self as an embodied, relational, and technologically modulated reality. The theoretical culmination of the volume is the proposal of a radical aesthetics: a politics of feeling that restores intensity, opacity, and unpredictability to relationships in a world dominated by transparent interfaces and predictive algorithms. At a time when otherness risks becoming a function, and retreating into solitude a project, there is an urgent need to return to thinking about the body, not as nostalgia, but as a generative condition of every possible future. A necessary essay for understanding the metamorphosis of the self in the age of code.

The Courage to Be Shy

di Massimo Ammaniti

editore: Raffaello Cortina Editore

Shyness is not a fl aw to be corrected, but a complex and multifaceted characteristic that can be a source of suffering but also of inner richness. Shyness, fear, and anxiety are common human experiences, but they can become debilitating obstacles, especially in a society that rewards extroversion and performance. Through an analysis that ranges from psychoanalysis to neurobiology, from cinema to literature, the book explores the roots of shyness, including genetic factors, childhood experiences, and family dynamics; the different manifestations of anxiety and fear and their impact on daily life; the relational and social difficulties encountered by shy people, especially in adolescence, and strategies for developing self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the ability to manage one's emotions; the role of parents and educators in supporting shy children and young people. Using the example of famous figures such as Darwin and Gandhi, who turned shyness into a winning weapon, the author finally reflects on the possibility of transforming shyness into a resource, enhancing one's sensitivity, capacity for reflection, and inner world.

Mourning and EMDR

From Diagnosis to Clinical Intervention

di Roger M. Solomon

editore: Raffaello Cortina Editore

pagine: 240

The world’s greatest expert on trauma and mourning    In this book, Roger Solomon draws on his wealth of experience and clinical sensitivity to explain how to work with mourning and the pain of loss. The author describes the impact that the loss of a loved one can have on innumerable functions, both intrapsychic and interpersonal, on the tasks that the mourner has to face in processing the sense of loss and the plethora of factors that can complicate mourning. After providing a brief panorama of EMDR, the author accompanies the therapist through the process step by step, integrating theoretical explanations with numerous accounts of clinical cases, using theoretical frameworks – including the theory of attachment and that of continuing bonds – that are efficacious for clinical work and a complete understanding of the cases presented. The author completes the volume with a detailed explanation of how to use EMDR therapy to facilitate the mourning process: each of the eight phases is examined in depth, in relation to working through grieving and the pain of loss.  

La ricerca come sfida per lo psicoanalista

rivista: La Rivista di Psicoanalisi

di Anna Maria Nicolò

La ricerca in psicoanalisi costituisce una sfida per gli psicoanalisti a causa di forti elementi di invalutabilità nella relazione analitica. Gli strumenti dell’analista potrebbero essere ritenuti non utilizzabili dalla scienza empirica, tuttavia esistono altre possibilità di studio degli eventi emotivi. C’è una similitudine tra il funzionamento mentale del ricercatore e quello dell’analista perché dubbio, curiosità e umiltà sono qualità importanti sia per fare ricerca che per essere analisti. La ricerca non è solo un obiettivo ma diventa un modello di funzionamento della mente, un attivatore della sua trasformazione e si costituisce come un veicolo per arrivarci. Il lavoro per esempio in gruppi di ricerca, a cui possono partecipare analisti di orientamento diverso e con differenti gradi di esperienza e formazione, favorisce un continuo confronto e lo sviluppo di una cultura di verifica tra pari. Parole chiave: Complessità, gruppi di ricerca, istituti di psicoanalisi, ricerca, ricerca clinica, training. Research as a challenge for the psychoanalyst. Research in psychoanalysis represents a challenge for psychoanalysts due to the many elements that cannot be evaluated in an analytic relationship. An analyst’s tools might not be considered utilizable by empirical science, but there might be other ways to study emotional events. A researcher’s and an analyst’s mental functioning are similar because doubt, curiosity, and humility are important qualities both for doing research and for being a good analyst. Research is not only a goal but becomes a model for the mind’s functioning, an activator for its transformation and can become a tool for reaching it. Work in groups made up of analysts of various schools and with varying degrees of training and experience can favor constant confrontation and contribute to developing a culture of inquiry among peers. Keywords: Clinical research, complexity, psychoanalytical institutes, research, research groups, training. La recherche comme défi pour le psychanalyste. La recherche en psychanalyse est un défi pour les psychanalystes à cause des forts éléments de subjectivité dans la relation analytique. Les outils de l’analyste pourraient être considérés comme n’étant pas utilisés par la science empirique, mais il existe d’autres possibilités pour étudier les événements émotionnels. Il y a une similitude entre le fonctionnement mental du chercheur et celui de l’analyste car le doute, la curiosité et l’humilité sont des qualités importantes à la fois pour faire de la recherche et pour être des analystes. La recherche n’est pas seulement un but mais devient un modèle du fonctionnement de l’esprit, un activateur de sa transformation et constitue un véhicule pour y parvenir. Par exemple, le travail dans des groupes de recherche, auxquels peuvent participer des analystes de différentes orientations et avec différents degrés d’expérience et de formation, favorise un dialogue continu et le développement d’une culture d’évaluation parmi les pairs. Mots clés: Complexité, formation, groupes de recherche, instituts de psychanalyse, recherche, recherche clinique. La investigación como desafío para el psicoanalista. La investigación en psicoanálisis es un desafío para los psicoanalistas debido a los elementos que no resultan evaluables en la relación analítica. Las herramientas del analista podrían ser considerados como no utilizables para la ciencia empírica; no obstante, existen otras posibilidades de estudio de los hechos emotivos. Hay una similitud entre el funcionamiento mental del investigador y el del analista porque duda, curiosidad y humildad son calidades importantes tanto para hacer investigación como para ser analistas. La investigación no es únicamente un objetivo, sino también un modelo de funcionamiento de la mente, un activador de su transformación y se constituye en vehículo para llegar hasta allí. Por ejemplo, el trabajo en equipos de investigación, en los que participan analistas de orientaciones diferentes y con distintos grados de experiencia y formación, favorece una constante confrontación y el desarrollo de una cultura de comprobación entre iguales. Palabras Clave: Complejidad, equipos de investigación, institutos de psicoanálisis, investigación, investigación clínica, training. Die Forschung als Herausforderung für den Psychoanalytiker. Die Forschung in der Psychoanalyse stellt aufgrund starker Elemente der Immensurabilität in der analytischen Beziehung eine Herausforderung für den Psychoanalytiker dar. Die Instrumente des Analytikers können von der empirischen Wissenschaft als nicht verwertbar erachtet werden, dennoch existieren andere Möglichkeiten der Erforschung emotionaler Ereignisse. Es besteht eine Ähnlichkeit zwischen dem mentalen Funktionieren des Wissenschaftlers und dem des Analytikers, da Zweifel, Neugier und Bescheidenheit wichtige Eigenschaften sowohl für die Forschungs- als auch für die Analytikertätigkeit sind. Die Forschung ist nicht lediglich ein Ziel, sie wird zu einem Funktionsmodell des Verstandes, einem Auslöser seiner Transformation und Mittel, dorthin zu gelangen. Die Arbeit in Forschungsgruppen beispielsweise, denen Analytiker verschiedener Richtungen und unterschiedlichen Erfahrungs- und Ausbildungsstandes angehören können, fördert eine stetige Gegenüberstellung und die Entwicklung einer Verifikationskultur unter Gleichen. Schlüsselwörter: Forschung, Forschungsgruppen, Institute für Psychoanalyse, klinische Forschung, Komplexität, Training.

I gruppi di ricerca sulle trasformazioni nel processo analitico

rivista: La Rivista di Psicoanalisi

di Massimo Vigna-Taglianti

Fin dagli Studi sull’isteria Freud ha tentato di fondare la psicoanalisi su presupposti scientifici. Tutta la sua opera può essere concepita come una ricerca caratterizzata dalla mentalità di sapere ridefinire le proprie provvisorie conclusioni, muovendo da nuovi fenomeni che si manifestano nel campo delle proprie osservazioni. Molti altri autori dopo di lui hanno seguito questo solco e sostenuto che la situazione clinica è, in psicoanalisi, quella più valida per la ricerca. Alla luce di questo presupposto concettuale vengono illustrati, in questo articolo, il Three-Level-Model for Observing Patient’s Transformations e il progetto di ricerca su di esso fondato che la Società Psicoanalitica Italiana sta promuovendo. Nel lavoro vengono inoltre esaminati gli obiettivi scientifici e istituzionali a breve, medio e lungo termine dei gruppi di ricerca basati sul Three-Level-Method: un metodo euristico concepito per condurre osservazioni cliniche sistematiche sulle trasformazioni di pazienti in trattamento psicoanalitico che può essere adottato come un protocollo di lavoro per gruppi di discussione volti a potenziare, attraverso l’analisi sistematica di materiale clinico, le capacità di osservazione dei partecipanti e a migliorare le capacità di ascolto e di elaborazione – il cosiddetto «secondo sguardo» – degli analisti. Parole chiave: Gruppi, osservazione, ricerca, trasformazioni, Three-Level-Model. Research Groups on transformations in the analytic process. Since Studies on Hysteria, Freud tried to lay scientific foundations for psychoanalysis. His entire work can be viewed as a research informed by being able to re-define one’s own provisional conclusions, starting off from new phenomena that manifest themselves in the field of one’s own observations. Many other authors after him followed this line and maintained that, in psychoanalysis, the clinical situation suits research best. In light of this conceptual assumption, in this paper we explore the Three-Level-Model for Observing Patient’s Transformations and the research project based upon it that has been promoted by the Italian Psychoanalytic Society. Here, the scientific and institutional short-, medium- and long-term goals of the research groups based on the Three-Level-Method are explored. This is a heuristic method that has been conceived to carry out systematic clinical observations of the transformations of the patients in psychoanalytic treatment that can be used as a working protocol for discussion groups aiming to enhance, through a systematic analysis of the clinical material, the observation skills of the participants and to improve the listening and working through capacity – the so-called «second look» – of the analysts. Keywords: Groups – observation, research, transformations, Three-Level-Model. Groupes de recherche sur les transformations du processus analytique. Depuis les études sur l’hystérie, Freud a tenté de fonder la psychanalyse sur des hypothèses scientifiques. Tout son travail peut être conçu comme une recherche caractérisée par la mentalité de savoir redéfinir ses conclusions provisoires, en partant de nouveaux phénomènes qui se manifestent dans le champ de leurs observations. Beaucoup d’autres auteurs après lui ont suivi cette ligne et soutenu que la situation clinique est, en psychanalyse, la plus valable pour la recherche. À la lumière de cette prémisse conceptuelle sont expliquées dans cet article, le modèle à trois niveaux d’observation du pour les transformations du patient et le projet de recherche, fondé sur ce modèle, que la Société psychanalytique italienne est en train de promouvoir. Dans le document, sont également examiné les objectifs scientifiques et institutionnels à court, moyen et long terme des groupes de recherche sur la Méthode à Trois Niveaux: une méthode heuristique conçu pour effectuer des observations cliniques systématiques sur les transformations de patients en traitement psychanalytiques qui peut être adoptée comme un protocole de travail pour des groupes de discussion visant à renforcer, par l’analyse systématique de matériel clinique, les capacités d’observation des participants et améliorer la capacité d’écoute et de traitement – la soi-disant «deuxième regard» – des analystes. Mots clés: Groupes, modèle à trois niveaux, observation, recherche, transformations. Los grupos de investigación sobre las transformaciones en el proceso analítico. Desde el Estudio sobre la histeria, Freud trató de fundar el psicoanálisis en presupuestos científicos. Se puede concebir toda su obra como una investigación caracterizada por la mentalidad de saber cómo redefinir sus propias conclusiones provisionales, a partir de los nuevos fenómenos que se presentan en su sector de observación. Muchos otros autores después de él siguieron la misma línea y afirmaron que la situación clínica es, en el psicoanálisis, la mas válida para la investigación. En este marco conceptual se presentan, en este artículo, el Three-Level-Model for Observing Patient’s Transformations y el proyecto de investigación que la Sociedad Psicoanalítica Italiana esta promoviendo. En este trabajo analizamos también los objetivos científicos e institucionales a corto, mediano y largo plazo de los grupos de investigación basados en el Three Level Method: un método heurístico destinado a conducir observaciones clínicas sistemáticas de la transformaciones de los pacientes analizados, que se puede adoptar como protocolo de trabajo en los grupos de debate, que potencien, a través del análisis sistemático de la documentación clínica, las capacidadees de observación de los participantes, y mejoren las capacidades de escucha y de elaboración – la llamada «segunda mirada» – de los analistas. Palabras Clave: Grupos, investigación, observación, transformaciones, Three-Level-Model. Die Forschungsgruppen zu den Transformationen im analytischen Prozess. Von den Studien über Hysterie an hat Freud versucht die Psychoanalyse auf wissenschaftliche Bedingungen zu gründen. Sein gesamtes Werk kann als ein Forschen verstanden werden, das sich durch ein Denken auszeichnet, welches die eigenen vorläufigen Schlussfolgerungen ausgehend von neuen Phänomenen, die im Feld der eigenen Beobachtungen auftreten, neu zu definieren weiß. Viele andere Autoren nach ihm sind dieser Spur gefolgt und haben die Ansicht vertreten, dass die klinische Situation in der Psychoanalyse die für die Forschung valideste ist. Im Licht dieser konzeptuellen Voraussetzung werden in diesem Artikel das Three-Level-Model for Observing Patient’s Transformations und das auf diesem begründete, von der Italienischen Psychoanalytischen Gesellschaft geförderte Forschungsprojekt illustriert. In der Arbeit werden zudem die kurz-, mittel- und langfristigen wissenschaftlichen und institutionellen Ziele der Forschungsgruppen untersucht, die auf der Three-Level-Method basieren: eine heuristische Methode zur Durchführung systematischer klinischer Beobachtungen über die Transformationen der Patienten in psychoanalytischer Behandlung, die als Arbeitsprotokoll für Diskussionsgruppen übernommen werden kann, welche darauf ausgerichtet sind, durch die systematische Analyse klinischen Materials die Beobachtungsfähigkeiten der Teilnehmer zu stärken und die Fähigkeit der Analytiker, zuzuhören und auszuarbeiten – den sogenannten «zweiten Blick» – zu verbessern. Schlüsselwörter: Beobachtung, Gruppen, Forschung, Transformationen, Three-Level-Model.

Metodologia della ricerca

rivista: La Rivista di Psicoanalisi

di Fernando Riolo

Lo sviluppo della ricerca, sia in ambito teorico che clinico, è un’esigenza indispensabile se vogliamo perseguire l’obiettivo che era di Freud: costruire una scienza della mente. La possibilità di raggiungere quell’obiettivo richiede però che questo sviluppo sia coerente e metodologicamente fondato. La domanda alla quale cerca di rispondere questo lavoro è: quali sono le condizioni poste dal metodo scientifico al lavoro di ricerca? Perché in mancanza di criteri adeguati e dell’osservanza di quelle condizioni, parlare di ricerca rischia di tradursi in una semplice operazione nominalistica: chiamare con un nuovo nome le stesse cose che abitualmente facciamo. La prima parte del lavoro è dedicata all’illustrazione delle caratteristiche del metodo e dei criteri che regolano il rapporto tra osservazione e teoria. Nella seconda, viene presentato un progetto di ricerca teorica in corso: «Il confronto assiomatico delle teorie psicoanalitiche». Parole chiave: Assioma, confrontabilità, falsificazione, metodo, osservazione, pluralismo, teoria. Methodology of research. The development of research both in clinical and theoretical domains is indispensable if we want to pursue the goal that had also been Freud’s: to build a science of the mind. The possibility to reach this goal, however, requires that this development is consistent and based on a methodology. The question this paper is trying to address is: what are the conditions posed by the scientific method to research work? If we lack the proper criteria and we do not follow such conditions, our discussion of research becomes a simple operation of calling with a different name the things that we usually do. The first part of the paper is dedicated to illustrating the features of the method and of the criteria that regulate the relations between observation and theory. In the second part I present a project of empirical research currently underway: «An axiomatic comparison of psychoanalytical theories». Keywords: Axiom, comparability, falsification, method, observation, pluralism, theory. Méthodologie de recherche. Le développement de la recherche, à la fois dans le domaine théorique et clinique, est une exigence indispensable si nous voulons poursuivre le but de Freud: construire une science de l’esprit. Cependant, la possibilité d’atteindre cet objectif nécessite que ce développement soit cohérent et méthodologique. La question à laquelle ce travail tente de répondre est: quelles sont les conditions fixées par la méthode scientifique pour le travail de recherche? Parce qu’en absence de critères adéquats et du respect de ces conditions, parler de recherche risque de se traduire simplement dans une opération nominaliste: appeler avec un nouveau nom les mêmes choses que nous faisons habituellement. La première partie du travail est consacrée à illustrer les caractéristiques de la méthode et les critères qui régissent la relation entre l’observation et la théorie. Dans la seconde, un projet de recherche théorique est présenté: «La comparaison axiomatique des théories psychanalytiques». Mots-clés: Axiome, comparabilité, falsification, méthode, observation, pluralisme, théorie. Metodología de la investigación. El desarrollo de la investigación desde el punto de vista teórico y clínico, es un requisito indispensable si queremos alcanzar el objetivo que fue del mismo Freud: construir una ciencia de la mente. La posibilidad de alcanzar este objetivo requiere, sin embargo, que este desarrollo sea coherente y justificado metodológicamente. Este trabajo se propone contestar a la siguiente pregunta: cuáles son las condiciones que el método científico exige al trabajo de investigación? Porque hablar de investigación si no se dispone de criterios adecuados y del cumplimiento de esas condiciones, se corre el riesgo de hablar de investigación como si fuera una simple operación nominal: llamar con otro nombre lo que hacemos habitualmente. Se ha dedicado la primera parte del trabajo para ilustrar las características del método y de los requisitos que regulan las relaciones entre la observación y la teoría. En la segunda parte se presenta un proyecto de investigación teórica en marcha: «La confrontación axiomática de las teorías psicoanalíticas». Palabras Clave: Axioma, comparabilidad, falsificación, método, observación, pluralismo, teoría. Methodologie der Forschung. Die Entwicklung der Forschung sowohl im theoretischen als auch im klinischen Bereich ist ein unerlässliches Erfordernis, wenn wir das Ziel Freuds verfolgen wollen, eine Wissenschaft der Seele zu schaffen. Die Möglichkeit, dieses Ziel zu erreichen, gebietet jedoch, dass diese Entwicklung kohärent und methodologisch fundiert ist. Die Frage, auf welche diese Arbeit zu antworten versucht, ist: Was sind die Bedingungen, welche die wissenschaftliche Methode der Forschungsarbeit stellt? Denn in Ermangelung adäquater Kriterien und der Einhaltung dieser Bedingungen riskiert das Sprechen von Forschung, zu einer lediglich nominalistischen Operation zu führen: mit einem neuen Namen die gleichen Dinge zu benennen, die wir gewohnheitsmäßig tun. Der erste Teil der Arbeit widmet sich der Veranschaulichung der Eigenschaften der Methode und der Kriterien, die das Verhältnis zwischen Beobachtung und Theorie regulieren. Im zweiten Teil wird ein laufendes theoretisches Forschungsprojekt vorgestellt: «Der axiomatische Vergleich psychoanalytischer Theorien». Schlüsselwörter: Axiom, Beobachtung, Falsifizierung, Methode, Pluralismus, Theorie, Vergleichbarkeit.
