Countertransference in Factitious Disorder

1994

In the treatment of patients with factitious disorder it is important to realize that at various levels of their experience these patients are more intimate with death than with life. This requires a particular awareness of resistance mechanisms to countertransference as well as of the importance of clinical procedures, in particular with regard to superego analysis. A requirement for establishing a psychotherapeutic alliance with patients suffering from factitious disorder is a high degree of 'therapeutic eros', hope and trust in one's own capabilities. The emphasis on a 'biophile attitude' does, however, involve the danger that the destructive potential, fantasies of death or killing, but…

Child abuse in a medical setting: Case illustrations of two variants of munchausen sindrome by proxy

2017

Munchausen syndrome is a complex type of abuse, which is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed in clinical practice, and has harmful consequences for children.

Symbol, Munch and creativity: metabolism of visual symbols

2010

In this dissertation the relationship between visual symbols and creative thinking is studied through visual, textual and conceptual analysis. The first part of the work focuses on the concept of symbol, the second part on the imagery of Edvard Munch (1863–1944), and the third part on creative thinking. The problematics of visual symbols is approached through the concept of metabolism by assuming that both perceivable and non-perceivable properties of symbols can transform when symbols are used. Because visual symbols are frequently understood as conventional signs with fixed meanings, their perceivable properties are easily ignored. However, symbols can also be unconventionally used, for e…

W poszukiwaniu Toż-Samego i Innego w malarstwie Edvarda Muncha

2016

The subject of the interpretation of the presence of Emannuela Levinass the Same and the Other is Edvard Munchs painting . His self-portraits touch the problem of existence. The artist appears in the created painters space. The problem of identity is a ground for philosopher, painter and poets interpretation. Who is the Same and what a mask does he hide behind? The consideration of the description and analysis of paintings are confronted with thoughts of Rilke and the philosophy of Heidegger and Levinas. “Identity is confirmed in what is Said and Written” you can expand on what is Painted.

Factitious disorders and pathological self-harm in a hospital population: an interdisciplinary challenge.

2002

Factitious disorder, Munchausen's Syndrome, and deliberate self-harm have recently been conceptualized as different facets of self-destructive behavior. A descriptive typological classification has been presented by Willenberg et al., but has not yet been tested with a clinical sample. The instrument distinguishes between direct self-harm (e.g., self-inflicted wounds), self-induced disease (e.g., factitious fever), and indirect self-harm delegated to medical staff (e.g., repeated operations occasioned by feigned symptoms). All patients referred to the psychosomatic-psychotherapeutic liaison-consultation service or to the outpatients' department within 14 months (n = 995) and all patients di…

Il rumore del tempo e la patina dell'architettura

2014

All’interno del libro che intende essere un contributo su un tema complesso e, forse, tra i più travisati della cultura architettonica come quello dell'architettura mediterranea, si inserisce il saggio “Il rumore del tempo e la patina dell’architettura”. In tale scritto l’autore tratteggia il ruolo del tempo, cronologico ed atmosferico, come uno dei materiali più preziosi dell’architettura. Sciascia entra in argomento ricordando il comportamento sui generis del pittore E. Munch che sottoponeva le sue tele alla cosiddetta “cura da cavalli”, lasciandole esposte alle intemperie perché convinto che i colori si combinassero meglio e conclude riferendosi all’esperienza della casa di Luis Barragán…
