“…The problem fertility treatment is trying to solve has been explored and the resolution follows. But first, a closing thought from Mathers (2001, p. 41) on meaning‐making. ‘It relies on unconscious mechanisms to separate ego out from fusion (confusion) with mother’.…”

This research aims to investigate the drive to conceive through repeated use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in relation to the affective and meaning-making processes related to this drive, through the use of the participants' memories of mother and being mothered, the choices they made regarding sex, intimacy and non-uterine activity in early adulthood and their fantasies of how a child would change their lives. Though prepared for an MSc dissertation it is a pilot empirical study using interpretative phenomenological analysis and applications of Jungian analytic and psychoanalytical theory. The collected data consists of three semi-structured interviews analysed through recurrent themes and amplification. Developmental and archetypal thinking has been suggested as a means of understanding. The results are strongly suggestive of two main themes across the interviews and further research is underway. The first theme is the importance of the relationship to mother and the quality of the mothering received in contributing to a woman's availability to become a mother at a time in her life when she is most fertile. The second theme of the pilot suggested that the crisis of infertility is a mask for another crisis of identity that also had links to the personal mother. At the core of these issues with mother there is an absence of father and an intra-psychic couple. Repeated infertility treatment becomes a transformative process necessitating repetition until something new can be created.

“…Pesqui. | 16 | 1-24 | 2022DOI: 10.34019/1982-1247.2022 Podemos considerar que Neumann, ao escrever sobre a criança a partir do self (psique total), e Fordham, a partir do ego (consciência), trazem contribuições complementares no que diz respeito à compreensão dos processos psicológicos da infância (Mathers, 2001). Nessa direção, destaca-se a atividade do organismo direcionada para sustentar e preservar esse processo de desenvolvimento, que, no campo psicológico Fordham, relaciona com o processo de individuação.…”

“…Nesta psicopatologia, tende a ser perceptível um processo psíquico que se sobrepõe ao eu de maneira inversa ao continuum de integração das sensações que tende a se fazer presente na infância, de acordo ao que coloca Mathers (2001), pois ao longo do desenvolvimento psíquico a criança vivencia, através das sensações, os fatores palpáveis que favorecem o próprio pensamento concreto, de significativa importância nessa fase da vida; a dinâmica entre o pensamento simbólico e as vivências infantis exerce papel central na formação da identidade. Contrariamente, nos chamados "distúrbios de significado", nos quais se inclui a esquizofrenia infantil, determinada situação traumática intensa reverbera nas experiências entre corpo e psique (Mathers, 2001). É possível depreender, portanto, que, na esquizofrenia infantil, lapsos entre as sensações e uma representação psíquica aversiva culminam numa paralisação e/ou regressão dos comportamentos e das percepções infantis, o que favorece a eclosão dos sintomas típicos mencionados.…”

Esquizofrenia infantil como autoproteção psíquica – concepção da psicologia analítica

A esquizofrenia infantil é considerada um processo psicopatológico de incidência rara cujas repercussões tendem a culminar em comprometimentos no desenvolvimento de funções simbólicas psíquicas, embora haja a preservação da cognição e dos afetos. Na psicologia analítica, o sintoma é compreendido como organizador e, muitas vezes, compensador de situações psíquicas em prol de sua preservação em relação a uma situação experienciada como ameaçadora. Nessa direção, o objetivo desse trabalho consistiu em compreender, a partir da psicologia analítica, o sentido da emergência da esquizofrenia na infância, abordando o papel dos afetos e a dinâmica psíquica. O método adotado foi o da revisão de literatura narrativa e a análise conceitual da noção de esquizofrenia infantil.
