Abstract This article describes The individual case of a patient is described which leads/brings at the beginning of his analysis the predominant theme of a multiple and stratified archaic primary scene, whose constitutive factors appear “displaced”, such as jagged orthopedic fractures, and condensed in a cumulative traumatic time. It soon become clear that the oedipal […]
Abstract By presenting three clinical vignettes of a children’s group psychotherapy, the author intends to point out how certain games are golems which lead the way to a group Oedipal function. In the paper, the author makes extensive reference to Freud’s “The Uncanny”; as a matter of fact, the group, by using certain games and […]
Abstract The work deals with the issue of the relationship between experiences, which take shape in the psychic experience of pre-adolescent groups, conducted according to a psychoanalytic model that is inspired by Bionian conceptualizations and subsequent formulations by Corrao and, as regards age psychoanalysis evolutionary, by Anna Baruzzi, and their relationship with the stresses that […]
Abstract The author, after having identified the psycho-socio-structural modifications consequent to the pervasiveness of the virtual, proposes a reading of the adolescent identity construction starting from the risks coming from the dissolution of the typical boundaries of the digital age. Starting from some dual and group clinical situations, the need for a review of the […]
This issue is the second part of a first one, edited one year ago and named “Baby observation and analytic presence”. Our path has therefore started from the silent, not judging neither interpreting reflection about a new-born and its care context and now instead tries to analyse the possibilities of an active therapeutic work with […]
Abstract This paper is an introduction to the psychoanalytic family therapies, in a period when the expression family therapy is mostly synonymous of systemic therapy. Departing from the history of the psychoanalytic work with the couples and the family, the most important “organizers” of the family psychic life appear to be the “phantasmatic resonance”, the […]
AbstractAfter a presentation of the adolescent process the author shows how this process fits into a scene that is anamorphic with the structure of virtual networks on the internet. Leaning about what he calls the other’s tracks in the object, he demonstrates how the computer object induces certain specific forms of link between the subjects […]

AbstractThe crisis of the culture goes along with a crisis of authority in families: the author
AbstractIn this short article, the author proposes a reflection about the essence of Multifamily Psychoanalysis: examining what happens between people, in particular between two or more people that experience a symbiotic bound, to see if it is possible to introduce changes. Through a clinical example,
AbstractThis article is linked to a previous one (Piermattei, 2019) that deepened the concepts of symbiosis and fusionality. We have therefore started from the first neonatal life and we are now searching for the traces of that primordial experience in adult life. The basic idea of both the articles is that some primordial quotas remain active […]

Thanks to Stefania Marinelli and Claudio Neri for the continuity of their activities and the development of “works” for a perspective on the care of […]
Abstract In this paper the authors try to analyse the current state of psychiatry. In particular, they try to highlight the difficulties of institutional cases to manage the new forms of mental suffering, questioning the individual processes of subjectivity and new paradigms of care that are often ineffective in managing these processes. These difficulties find […]
In this article, several young colleagues, who have been trained in individual and group psychoanalytic contexts, who have all been asked to support activities in the field of highly skilled psychiatry (group psychotherapy) with a “low cost” and implicitly unsafe contract, have tried to outline some features of their experiences of managing groups in psychiatric […]
Abstract The hypothesis that prompted the following article arose from aconsideration of dreams as important supports for analytical transformation. Beginning with Bionian concepts, the author demonstrates, using as a clinical example a group of patients with severe mental health disorders being treated in
Abstract The culture of an institution depends on the way that it enables individuals to use its psychic space; the institution may either foster thinking abilities, or stimulate defensive mechanisms, hindering these abilities by giving prevalence to ideological stances. The psychoanalytic group that I am going to talk about was influenced by the culture of […]
Abstract This contribution is inspired by the experience of conducting a therapeutic group for adult patients within a medium security psychiatric community in Milan. Using some session excerpts, a close connection is established between affirmation of identity of individuals and the group, along with freedom of expression, as the
Abstract The management of a psychoanalytic group within an institution has specific characteristics. It is a group within a group, similar to a series of concentric circles, and as such is deeply influenced by the institution. Therefore an understanding of the functioning and dynamics of the institution – and of the team – is essential […]

Abstract A experience of supervision in a former asylum, transformed about a decade ago into an R.S.D., a residence for the disabled integrating basic assistance and sanitary care.

Abstract Modern Psychiatry, in spite of appearances and perhaps due to its complexity, is not merely a repository of slogans, sterile thoughts and stereotyped actions, but also a breeding ground for colonies of fresh and vital ideas, which always have found space and develop beneath its mantle. One rapidly developing area of psychiatric care that […]
Abstract This paper intends to question how the contemporary predominant medical paradigm can understand and consider psychosis and as it builds its therapeutic care systems. It is required at the reader to better and deeply analyze everyday experiences of therapies and not only to trust to excessive medicalization (predominant today), inviting him/her to place him/herself […]
Abstract This text is dedicated to research on the setting and therapy provided by a research team that worked on the relationship between the extended family mind and the individual, where the former becomes an ectopic storage space for the individual’s content. The team acts as a container for issues that the individuals of the […]
Abstract This work of proposed family therapy started from the consideration that the model of individual psychoanalysis had not brought any of the family members to retrieve inside themselves and that in the field of group communication, there were no significant results. A group reading with a literal sense of group was needed. Individuals unconsciously […]
Abstract The paper summarizes the core of the theory propounded by the Argentine psychoanalyst Jorge García Badaracco. He saw psychoses as a result of maddening mutual interdependencies having place mainly within the patient’s family environment. The therapeutic setting derived from Badaracco’s theory is described, in which working with multifamily psychoanalysis groups is seen as the […]

Abstract The work starts from an experience of conducting a homogeneous group with eating disorders with the variant of the insertion of a male subject in a group of women. The therapeutic factors of group dynamics and emotional growth of patients and therapists were
It is owing to Claudio Neri’s inspired intuition that we were able to plan this fascinating issue of Funzionegamma on Bion’s Memoir of the Future (hereafter MoF). Inspired for many reasons. Firstly, as a result of the literature’s curious scarcity of works on the Trilogy; and then, because the paradigm prompted by Bion is becoming […]
Abstract This article considers Bion’s writings about World War I, from the returning soldier of 1919 to the psychoanalyst in his seventies.
