Eugene Gendlin (1926-2017)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Gendlin

Thinking at the Edge

Thinking at the Edge (TAE),[16] a practice initially developed by Mary N. Hendricks on the basis of Eugene Gendlin's philosophy of the implicit,[17][18] is a way of developing one's implicit knowing into an articulated theory. For example, a professional might have had an inchoate felt sense for a problem for many years. Using TAE, it is possible to develop concepts that explicate the felt sense very precisely so that what was implicit knowledge can generate an explicit theory that can contribute to the field.

Is gestalt therapy related to the field theory ? (ChatGPT, 2023-10-7)

Yes, Gestalt therapy is related to field theory. Field theory is a psychological framework that was developed by Kurt Lewin, a pioneering psychologist in the early 20th century. Field theory posits that behavior and psychological phenomena are influenced by the totality of an individual's psychological and environmental factors, often represented as a "psychological field."

Gestalt therapy, which was developed by Fritz Perls, Laura Perls, and Paul Goodman in the 1940s, draws on the principles of field theory. In Gestalt therapy, the focus is on the individual's immediate experience and the perception of the "field" in which they exist. The therapist and client work together to explore the person's thoughts, feelings, and sensations in the present moment, emphasizing awareness of the whole experience rather than just isolated parts of it.

Gestalt therapy also incorporates the concept of the "here and now," which is a central idea in field theory. Both field theory and Gestalt therapy emphasize the importance of understanding how individuals are influenced by their current environment and their interactions within that environment.

So, in summary, Gestalt therapy is related to field theory in that it incorporates and applies some of the foundational concepts of field theory to its therapeutic approach.

Psychoanalytic Field Theory Book Series (9 books, 2023-10-6)

https://www.routledge.com/Psychoanalytic-Field-Theory-Book-Series/book-series/FIELDTHEORY

場論 (field theory) 諸君,皆強調場之變化莫測,喜用活力 (vitality) 一詞,亦喜引用「混沌理論」,強調生成 (becoming) 甚於強調存有 (being),「複雜性的感受力」 (complexity sensibility,William Coburn),和「混沌的邊緣」 (the edge of chaos,Robert Galatzer-Levy),在在說明,場論有濃厚的混沌思維。場論三路人馬,Barrabgers 氏論述甚早,且先不論;Antonino Ferro / Giuseppe Citarese,提出 BFT (post-Bion Field Theory),意思是說,靈感來自 Bion (迄今,我仍不知這個聯想是否牽強);Donnel Stern,講人際場 (Interpersonal field),則是順關係學派衍之,意思是說,強調互相性 (mutuality),事件性 (enactment),他者性 (otherness),的關係學派,離場論只隔一層紙。迄今,我未見,上述三路人馬,提及量子力學,歷程哲學,和後結構主義,意思是說,這些皆往生成 (becoming),事件 (event),和 immanence 而去,怎麼可能與場論無關?我講的自體的心理學,與場論亦應有涉,宜加之論之。

Intersubjectivity And Analytic Field Theory (Giuseppe Civitarese, 2021)

Civitarese, G. (2021) Intersubjectivity and Analytic Field Theory. Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association 69:853-893

Abstract

Intersubjectivity is the central concept of the relational paradigm, the most widely employed in contemporary psychoanalysis. Yet we do not have a clear definition of it. Usually it is synonymous with “the interpersonal” and thus indicates the interaction that takes place between two already constituted subjects. In this sense it has little to do with the radical social theory of subjectivation suggested by the term, at least originally, in Husserl’s philosophy. In the original meaning of intersubjectivity, as handed down by Husserl and later developed by Merleau-Ponty, the binary opposition between subjectivity and intersubjectivity is dissolved and transformed into a dialectic relationship. To formulate a clear and distinct, but above all specific, definition of intersubjectivity, we need to reclaim this intuition and translate it into coherent principles of technique. It is also essential to verify whether the models of psychoanalysis proffered as intersubjective actually satisfy this parameter. On the basis of these two simple principles, the variants of psychoanalysis that are labeled intersubjective can be placed along a continuum. Examples are given of “weak” and “strong” intersubjectivity. Paradigmatic of the latter pole is the post-Bionian theory of the analytic field.

昨問銘晃,拉岡二十七年研討班,其「內在邏輯」為何?你要理解,1953 開始,第一個十年,處理佛洛伊德,1963 之後,罕提佛洛伊德,且面臨二度分裂和遷徙 (relocation),聽眾什麼來路都有,遠不止臨床人士,意思是說,中期研討班開始,已十足人文學,1970 之後,後期研討班,則可謂一把火燒盡,燒到語無倫次;依上述,其創造力「呈現」,始自五十二歲,「迸發」,始自六十二歲,「終于」七十五歲,然後多活了,最後無用的五年;銘晃提到,自中期研討班,提出 objet a,一切就都不一樣了,換句話說,一切都不止是回到佛洛伊德,而是拉岡的原創了,意思是說,拉岡曾說,他唯一貢獻,就是提出 objet a,此說有理;另,如何讀,他的研討班文本?我想,必須大刀闊斧,翱翔其上,才能不陷入迷徑,意思是說,他的注意力和表述,隨情境而分散,有時久久,才繞回來,我不會說,這些 digression 沒有意義,但如果你被它們沖昏了頭,就可惜了;

十個成員,10 (10— 1) / 2 = 45 ,這是一般小團體的團體治療的上限,

Apophatic theology (also known as negative theology)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophatic_theology

Apophatic theology, also known as negative theology,[1] is a form of theologicalthinking and religious practice which attempts to approach God, the Divine, by negation, to speak only in terms of what may not be said about the perfect goodness that is God.[web 1] It forms a pair together with cataphatic theology, which approaches God or the Divine by affirmations or positive statements about what God is.[web 2]

The apophatic tradition is often, though not always, allied with the approach of mysticism, which aims at the vision of God, the perception of the divine reality beyond the realm of ordinary perception.[2]

9/30/23 提到零一二三,其中,關於零,沒有說清楚,剛剛看到台齡息壤留言,提到 malignant psychopath 屬零,意思是說,那個零,是絕對虛無的零,壞空的零,戀屍惡生的 (necrophilia) 零,

Negative Psychoanalysis for the Living Dead: Philosophical Pessimism and the Death Drive (Julie Reshe, 2023),Negativity in Psychoanalysis: Theory and Clinic (Duane Rousselle, 2023),negative 與零有關,

意思是說,有趣的是,混沌宇宙,從零出發,一如何生起,意思是說,生命如何,源起緣起,畢竟還是發生了,

意思是說,零與一之間,有一個生與死的辯證,佛洛伊德講的 Eros vs Thanatos,佛洛姆講的 Biophilia vs Necrophilia,講的就是,這個零和一的辯證,

京都學派,是無 (nothingness) 的哲學,無就是零,

意思是說,無的徹底,非釋不可,

你要理解,無蘊藏著,無窮盡的生命的可能,

當然,你也要理解,無蘊藏著,無窮盡的毀滅的可能,

(屬零屬靈,之所以諧音,不是沒有理由的)

拉岡講的 petit objet a,jouissance,le Sinthome,就是生命之所以存在的理由,

那個理由,就發生在,這兩個無窮盡相會的地方,

這就是零,或無,最有趣的地方,

不算 (SP 2023) (自體的心理學)

人算不如天算,

天算不如人不算,

所以,最好的情況是,人懶得算,天也懶得算,

算,就是算計,

算計,就是,以為自己,在下一盤大棋,

天就是上帝,上帝就是 AI,

人在做,天在看,就是上帝在看,就是 AI 在看,

如何不算,是人生唯一,重要決定,

有可能,他不會,不想,不願算,或既不會,又不想,又不願算,

總之,你要理解,因為他不算,所以天 / 上帝 / AI,沒有發現,有人在算,

意思是說,不算,所以沒有驚動天 / 上帝 / AI 的監控 (surveillance),

所以,你說,這個,不算,是偷偷的算嗎,

點起紙菸,看著窗外,我說,

偷偷摸摸,賊矣,匪矣,恥矣,不足取矣,

意思是說,不算,就是他媽的不算,就是他媽的,頂天立地的不算,

Negativity in Psychoanalysis examines the role of negativity in psychoanalytic theory and its application in clinical settings.

While theories around negativity and death drive have become routinized within philosophical interpretations of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, they often mask an inherent positivity. This volume assembles highly esteemed psychoanalytic theorists and clinicians for an in-depth discussion on the topic. It features comprehensive introductions to Freudian and Lacanian perspectives, alongside contemporary clinical and cultural issues. The book also investigates how psychoanalytic negativity influences and is influenced by social, theological, and philosophical dialogues.

This work will prove invaluable for practicing psychoanalysts and those in training, while also appealing to academics and scholars in critical and cultural theory, continental and post-continental philosophy, and sociology, especially those whose research intersects clinical and theoretical traditions.

(二) 

文明發展,囿於人類,顢頇愚蠢,非經溢越 (decade of excess),不知節制 (decade of limit),

這件事,台灣發生在,1990-2000,直到九二一地震,才撼醒台灣人的謙卑,

這件事,中國發生在,2008-2018,直到川普揭開,民主黨經營廿年的醬缸,才開始動搖中共的錢袋子,

人,終其一生,也有,excess 和 limit 的輪迴,

這種人生,大起大落,眼看樓起,宴賓客,樓塌,

有趣的是,不多久,那個人,不死心,又開始,重起高樓,

所以,我們,可以,得到,一個,初步的,結論,

一個人,人生苦短,也許,可以,輪迴一次,

頂多,一次半,甚至,節奏快一點的話,兩次,

假如,他活得夠久,

一個文明,輪迴一次,至少一世紀,甚至數世紀,

所以,沒有一個人,可以看盡這齣戲,

智者說,輪迴三次以上,個人或文明,才得成熟,

(所以,好消息是,沒有一個人,可以完成,三次輪迴,和終於成熟),

而且,三十年前,我就知道,這個世界,最無趣的,就是「成熟的中年人」,

從看戲立場而言,我認為,神不希望,也不容許,人成熟,

意思是說,治療者要當心,不要把「那齣好戲」糟蹋了,

接下來,我希望擁有全世界的上午,

Countertransference will often be differentiated into concordant or complementary countertransference. 

Concordant countertransference involves the therapist taking in the patient’s inner state (Racker, 2007; Brown, 2011), causing the therapist to align with the patient in thoughts and feeling. This process of the therapist experiencing the same inner reality closely resembles empathy.

Example – A patient had a disagreement with his boss where he felt unfairly criticized for being lazy. Upon hearing the story, the therapist agreed with the patient that he had been unfairly criticized.

 

Complementary countertransference occurs when the therapist identifies not with the patient, but rather with another person from the patient’s life thereby recreating an earlier relationship. The patient unconsciously desires to reenact a previous relationship, and the therapist feels compelled to play the accompanying role (Brown, 2011).


Example – A patient was harshly and unfairly criticized by his boss for being lazy. Upon hearing his story, his therapist is left with the feeling that the harsh criticism is deserved and that the patient is in fact lazy.

Can we say that serial killing was a 20th century phenomenon, and mass killing is a 21st century phenomenon ? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-24) (2023-9-23)

It's not accurate to categorically state that serial killing was exclusively a 20th-century phenomenon or that mass killing is exclusively a 21st-century phenomenon. Both forms of violent crime have occurred throughout history, but they have gained more attention and recognition in different time periods due to various factors, including changes in communication, law enforcement techniques, and public awareness.

Serial killing, which involves a series of murders committed by the same person over an extended period, has been documented in various historical periods. However, it is true that the concept of serial killers as we understand it today, with extensive profiling and media coverage, became more prominent in the 20th century. This can be attributed to advancements in forensic science, criminal profiling, and the rise of mass media.

Mass killing, on the other hand, is not limited to the 21st century either. Acts of mass violence, such as mass shootings and genocides, have occurred throughout history. While the 21st century has seen some high-profile cases of mass killings, it is not accurate to suggest that this form of violence only emerged in this century.

Both serial killing and mass killing are complex phenomena influenced by a variety of social, psychological, and cultural factors. It's important to approach these topics with nuance and avoid generalizations about their historical occurrence. Instead, it's more accurate to say that our understanding, awareness, and documentation of these types of crimes have evolved over time.

連續殺人,是一個需要歷時多年,建構繁複象徵系統,無窮耐心等待,才能完成的作品;隨機殺人,前因亦複雜,但比起連續殺人而言,則憑藉的是衝動,在很短時間內完成 (意思是說,就是早洩),而且明顯自毀,沒有打算,活著離開,殺戮現場。小結,衝動自毀,是隨機殺人關鍵;你要理解,我們當今世界,剩下的只有,衝動自毀早洩。再者,隨機殺人,使用工具,決定其格調。持槍他殺自殺,一次完成者,堪稱乾脆;用刀亂砍,開車亂撞者,通常事後會裝病 (是幻聽叫我去做的),或大叫「草泥馬B你要搞清楚我爸爸是xxx」,企圖脫罪,堪稱孬種。

The Psychopath Epidemic: Why the World Is So Fucked Up and What You Can Do About It (Cameron Reilly, 2020) (2023-9-23)

https://www.amazon.com/Psychopath-Epidemic-World-cked-About/dp/075732360X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3FYKHT7ODO52V&keywords=The+Psychopath+Epidemic%3A+Why+the+World+Is+So+F*cked+Up+and+What+You+Can+Do+About+It&qid=1695470135&s=books&sprefix=the+psychopath+epidemic+why+the+world+is+so+f+cked+up+and+what+you+can+do+about+it%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C273&sr=1-1

Similar to the bestselling Sociopath Next Door comes a unique look at the psychopaths among us and how our society--from businesses and governments to religions--encourages and rewards psychopathic behavior, and what average citizens can do to survive and thrive when we must live with, learn from, or be led by sociopaths. 

Psychiatrists estimate that 1 percent of the adult population are psychopaths. That's about two million Americans. And they are our bosses, our politicians, our priests, and our neighbors. And they are running our economy and our lives. 

Every day in the news we hear about people in positions of power doing deplorable things--in business, politics, and government, from sexual harassment to polluting the environment to covering up crimes. And it's no wonder considering a small percentage of people wield a large amount of power, and that these very same people fit the definition of a "psychopath."

A highly engaging and gripping read, Cameron Reilly's book adds to our growing understanding of sociopaths with a detailed analysis of how our society encourages and rewards psychopathic tendencies, and how, because of this, psychopaths the world over have risen to power. Using historical references to pop culture examples, Reilly offers a field guide to psychopaths--how to spot them and how to outmaneuver them so you can keep your sanity intact. This is the first-of-its-kind book to examine the shocking evidence and then suggest practical solutions for saving us all.

What’s the difference between sociopath and antisocial personality disorder? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-23)

"Sociopath" is not a formal psychiatric or psychological diagnosis, but it is a term sometimes used colloquially to describe individuals who exhibit certain traits and behaviors associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). ASPD, on the other hand, is a recognized mental health diagnosis with specific criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Here are the key differences:

Sociopath:

  1. Informal Term: As mentioned, "sociopath" is not a formal diagnostic term in the field of psychology or psychiatry. It is a label often used in common language to describe individuals who engage in harmful or antisocial behavior and may exhibit traits associated with ASPD.

  2. Emphasis on Behavioral Traits: The term "sociopath" typically focuses on observable behaviors and traits, such as deceitfulness, manipulation, impulsivity, disregard for the rights of others, and a lack of empathy. It may be used to describe someone who is seen as manipulative, irresponsible, and lacking in moral or ethical principles.

  3. Lack of Specific Diagnostic Criteria: Since "sociopath" is not a formal diagnosis, there are no specific diagnostic criteria or assessment tools associated with it. It is a broad and subjective term.

Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD):

  1. Formal Diagnosis: ASPD is an official diagnosis listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is widely used by mental health professionals for diagnosing mental disorders.

  2. Specific Diagnostic Criteria: To be diagnosed with ASPD, an individual must meet specific criteria outlined in the DSM-5, which include a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability and aggression, consistent irresponsibility, lack of remorse, and a history of conduct disorder symptoms before the age of 15.

  3. Clinical Assessment: Diagnosis of ASPD is typically made by mental health professionals based on clinical evaluation, interviews, and a review of the individual's history and behaviors. It is a recognized mental health disorder.

In summary, while "sociopath" is a term used informally to describe individuals who exhibit certain traits and behaviors associated with antisocial behavior, Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is a formal psychiatric diagnosis with specific criteria and recognized in the field of mental health. When professionals assess and diagnose individuals, they typically use the criteria for ASPD rather than the colloquial term "sociopath" to describe and address these behaviors.

What’s the difference between psychopath and sociopath? (ChatGPT, 2023-9-23)

The terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" are often used colloquially to describe individuals who exhibit harmful or antisocial behavior, but in the field of psychology and psychiatry, these terms are not official diagnostic categories. Instead, professionals typically use the diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) to describe individuals who display chronic patterns of disregard for the rights of others and engage in behaviors that violate societal norms. However, it's important to note that there can be confusion and overlap in the use of these terms, and different experts may use them differently. Here are some distinctions that are sometimes made:

  1. Psychopathy:

    • Origin: Psychopathy is often suggested to have a more biological or genetic basis. Some researchers propose that it is a personality trait or disposition that individuals are born with.
    • Personality Traits: Psychopaths are characterized by traits such as superficial charm, manipulativeness, a lack of empathy, and a tendency to be glib and charming on the surface while hiding their true intentions.
    • Emotionality: Psychopaths are often described as emotionally shallow, with a lack of genuine emotional attachments or empathy for others.
    • Stability: Psychopathy is generally considered to be a stable personality trait that remains relatively consistent over time.
  2. Sociopathy:

    • Origin: Sociopathy is sometimes attributed more to environmental factors and life experiences. Some experts suggest that sociopathy may develop as a response to adverse childhood experiences, trauma, or dysfunctional family environments.
    • Personality Traits: Sociopaths may share some traits with psychopaths, such as deceitfulness and a disregard for the rights of others. However, they may be more erratic in their behavior and emotions.
    • Emotionality: Sociopaths may form shallow emotional attachments but can sometimes display bursts of intense emotion, particularly anger.
    • Stability: Sociopathy is sometimes seen as a less stable condition than psychopathy and may be more influenced by environmental factors.

It's important to emphasize that the terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" are not used in the official diagnostic criteria of mental health disorders. Instead, the diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is used when a person meets specific criteria, such as a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability, and a history of conduct disorder symptoms in childhood.

In clinical practice, the focus is on diagnosing and treating individuals with ASPD rather than distinguishing between psychopathy and sociopathy. Regardless of the terminology used, individuals with ASPD often exhibit harmful behaviors and may benefit from appropriate interventions and treatment.
