Abstract In this article I want to describe the importance of the father in the psychic development of children, and his role of thirdness capable of progressively opening up the symbiotic mother-child bonds towards alterity. It is because of the presence of a third person in the relationship that children can start developing their thinking […]

Abstract Based on the particularity an emotive experience activates when we connect with other’s authentic expressions, the author reflects on how the search for authenticity resides in every one of us, and turns into a main element in the most serious patients’ experiences, constantly deprivated of the possibility to freely express their experiences and the […]
Abstract The author emphasizes the importance of formation for workers. Formation according to a modality that follows the theoric/experiential patterns of Garcia Badaracco’s Multifamily Psychoanalysis. Following this path, she puts in evidence two fields connected between themselves, the personal one and the caring/relational one. The suggested reflections start from the personal formative experience with Garcia […]

Abstract In this paper the author reflects on the curious fact that the human being from infancy relates to others, starting with mother, from the first weeks, but later in life appears able to switch off that engagement with others and to treat them with indifference and callous disregard.

Abstract This article is a commentary on the paper by Maciej Zbyszewski concerning his work with soldiers who returning from war missions. My work with Holocaust survivors and consequences of working with homogeneous groups are discussed in the context of war trauma. In my opinion therapeutic group
Abstract In this contribution there are two main questions related to clinical conceptualizations in the psychoanalytic field which can be adopted in the work with the anorexic patients. 1. The first concerns the question of whether anorexia can be described as an independent psychoneurosis, such as, in Freud’s classification of psychoneurosis, the obsessive syndrome. 2. […]
Theoretical part of my commentary As a way of introduction to her thoughts on the work with anorectic patients Dr S. Marinelli outlines the field of theoretical works and considerations dealing with the problem of anorexia nervosa. In this field – apart from the works of numerous Italian authors – we find the work of […]
Abstract A group-analytic model to create a personal and social dynamic identity. Identity needs time to build up, to learn flexibility and adaptability while maintaining a sense of self-consistence,a time difficult to find in contemporary society dominated by expectation of “everything at once” We, as psychoanalysts, can help to restart the time in all its […]

Abstract In a context of social violence and great precariousness, contemporary migratory flows call into question our care devices and in particular the individual setting. The issue regarding potential traumas due to forced migration put us in front of the complexity of the clinical picture in a transcultural context. Through an original device based on […]
Abstract A group of psychologists and psychotherapists involved in different health care services for people with severe, lethal or deeply disabling somatic illnesses discuss the difficulty of their job when tackling the pain of the limit, the loss, death and emotional resonance it evokes. The identification with terminal or severely injured patients is a difficult […]
The baby observation, such a peculiar method and something so difficult to understand in its real strength and importance, is here described, above all, as a fundamental tool for learning to “be with”. Learn to find within oneself the ability to tolerate another presence, refraining from immediately resorting to the theory, to interpretations, but simply […]
Abstract The author explains why the observation of the newborn in the family, according to the method of Esther Bick, represents a resource for associative work and the group psychoanalysis. It first illustrates the different types of observation and then he situates this procedure alongside a subjectivizing process and recalls the important role of observation […]
Abstract The four functions of the mind considered by Meltzer as essential for the balance among the members of a family, are also important in the work of the operators in care institutions. Added to this is the ability to learn from experience (Bion), and to welcome unexpected thoughts and events into one’s mind, which […]
Abstract What we propose in this text is to present the framework and the content of the newborn observation according to the E. Bick’s method and its therapeutic applications, through the prism of my personal experience both as a trainer and as a child psychiatrist, responsible for a public service in what was sought, in […]

Abstract How did Infant Research and Infant Observation contribute in Child Psychoanalysis, and how much could they give to Child Psychotherapy? From pioneering ideas of Esther Bick to Italian Psychoanalysis’ precious contributions, we deepen Infant and pre-Infant Observation topics addressed by the
Abstract The main purpose of this article is to describe the path from symbiosis to fusionality, since, despite these two terms are frequently used in the psychoanalytic literature, they are often named in a way that is not always clear, especially the latter. It is my personal belief that, instead, an explanation and correlation of […]
Abstract This is the report of a first observation session, punctuated by comments coming from the supervision work and concluded by a series of more global considerations, which allow to inscribe what was said within a family and physiological evolutionary path.In this text is constantly present the passage between what the family actually puts in […]
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to show how the psychoanalytically oriented observation method in the tradition of the Tavistock Clinic applied as main tool in the training of educators in the institutional setting of a nursery is a valuable tool for the prevention of possible serious psychopathological situations. The observer acts as a sounding […]
Our era, which, after Lyotard, many people indicate as post-modern and which today some prefer to identify as “hyper-history”, is rapidly moving us towards a world we do not know, the “infosphere”, a world where technologies interact with other technologies, making the human being increasingly marginal and less involved of processes (Floridi, 2014). In this […]
Abstract This article studies how the psychic scene and the representability mobilized by the Network aresimilar to those of the dream. Starting from the representability in the Network, it shows how the Network puts in immediate contiguity the most intimate dimension of the psychism with the dimensions of the collective and even of the mass. […]
Abstract A major developmental step in infancy is to move from being an exclusive partner in the mother-infant pair, to becoming an excluded observer of the parental couple. This suggests a significant dynamic in groups in which the individuals may seek an exclusive other while being observed, or remain observers of others who can pair […]
Abstract. The author, comparing groups of children and groups of adolescents with the same device, shows that the Oedipus complex does not have the same organizer function. In adolescents, the primal scene, linked to its passivity, integrates them into an unbearable infantile sexual scene, and by passing through self-generation and gender complementarity, they can finally […]
Abstract The author revisits the Oedipus in its complex and group dimension, and the possible saturating and inhibiting effects of grafting the virtual into the imaginary dimension of the primary scene. The idea of the family as protective container isolated from the social is only an idealization of the child and of the first Freud, […]
Abstract This paper aims to highlight how the changes in social contexts have potentially modified the fantasies and the experiences related to the primal scene and to the oedipal configurations, shrinking the space available to imagination and to the processes of subjectivation, ensuing the risk of negative aftereffects both on the subject and on his […]
