Abstract

In this Journal three psychological articles have been summarized. Firslty, An examination of the historical and current perceptions of love in the psychotherapeutic dyad discusses the role of love and psychotherapy. Secondly, Existential analysis and psychoanalysis: Specific Differences and Personal Relationship between Ludwig Binswanger and Sigmund Freud, in this article two assumptions have been underlied addressing the psychoanalytic theory. Lastly, Constellations: Bourdieu's Disavowal of Lacan: Psychoanalytic theory and the Concepts of “Habitus” and “Symbolic Capital”. In this article the conditions in which Freudian concepts appear in Bourdieu's work can be understood partly in terms of the psychoanalytic concept of negation.

Article Summary 1: An examination of the historical and current perceptions of love in the psychotherapeutic dyad

Love and psychotherapy, It seems the theme of the usual stereotypical movie starring a psychotherapist and his young, beautiful and seductive patient. Yet it is the psychoanalytic version of Lolita, but an interesting article by Danna Bodenheimer (2011), professor at the University of Pennsylvania and at Rutgers University. This paper will interrogate the intellectual, theoretical and personal histories within the psychotherapeutic dyad for the management of love. This paper first examines the Sandor Ferenczi's foundational work. Sandor ferenczi, provide the life and theory and influence people to focus on the historic caution and the expected dangers of love feelings in the therapeutic relationship. He believed that the mutuality is created among all analytic dyads (Shaw, 2003).

This span of 32 years marks the longest and warmest of Freud's relationships to colleagues with the exception of Freud's friendship with the German pastor Oskar Pfister. Like Binswanger, Oskar Pfister had a connection to Jung, was a Swiss living in Zurich, and was a Gentile (GAY, 1988). Freud clearly shows that follow the ideal of explanation of the natural sciences, led by the Cartesian. The two assumptions that underlie psychoanalytic theory assume that life is a function of the psychic apparatus, which we attribute to the property of being extended in space and a multipart, and in inferring from found incomplete series of acts aware that the psychic is itself unconscious. Underlying these assumptions is therefore unquestioned acceptance of the scientific assumption that reality exists only and always in the form of a strict causality and without gaps, so if you cannot find this causality at the level of consciousness, we must clearly affirm on an unconscious level (Galimberti, 2005).

Binswanger addresses and overcomes the problem by answering the existential analysis does not resort to a meta-individual legislation, but seeks to understand the criterion of existence itself. Where there is no pre-encoded by early interpretive hypotheses but is free to manifest as it is, those that would normally be called dysfunctions appear as different functions with which the structure of existence itself, as ...
