“…In the early development of both genders, the mother is usually the primary caregiver and the child is most dependent on her. The father's role, although vitally important, is more neutral, and the father supports the child's individuation process (Tyson & Tyson, 1990). Because of the closeness of the early relationship to the mother, a large variety of archaic feelings are easily directed towards the mother.…”

W e evaluated dominance-submissiveness between cotwins and its relationship to mental health in a cohort study of 419 twins followed from pregnancy to 22-30 years of age. Dominance-submissiveness between co-twins was assessed from three separate perspectives: physical dominance, psychological dominance, and verbal dominance. Depressive, nervous, and psychosomatic symptoms were analyzed in different twin groups. In the physical domain, males were more commonly dominant than females at school age and in adulthood. Before and at school age, girls were more dominant than boys in the psychological and verbal domains, as well as in total dominance. These differences disappeared in adulthood, and 81% of adult twins felt themselves equal to their co-twin in total dominance. Submissiveness in the psychological domain seemed to be associated with increased depressiveness, nervous complaints and psychosomatic symptoms in males of male-female twin pairs. Verbally submissive males in same-sex twin pairs had more depression and psychosomatic symptoms. Among females of same-sex twin pairs, submissiveness in the psychological domain was most clearly associated with depressive symptoms, whereas psychological or verbal dominance-submissiveness among females from male-female twin pairs was not associated with symptoms. Psychologically dominant males and females of same-sex twin pairs expressed greater nervousness than did their co-twins. We conclude that being submissive, especially in the psychological domain, to a female twin partner seems to be stressful, whereas it is easier, especially for females, to be submissive to a male twin partner.

“…Psychoanalysis explains challenging behaviour as a result of unconscious conflicts caused by immature developed inner psychological structures. Self-injurious behaviour is a way to reduce anxiety that occurs as a result of these unconscious conflicts (Romanczyk, Lockshin, and O'Connor 1992;Tyson and Tyson 1990). The behaviouristic approach explains challenging behaviour as a result of the consequences the behaviour is met with, and consequences must be changed to train their behaviour in adaptive direction (Hastings, Remington, and Hopper 1995;Lovaas and Smith 1994).…”

Challenging behaviour in an adult male with congenital deaf-blindness: analysis and intervention

People with severe congenital disabilities have been assessed on negatives, on what they do not have. Skill training and education of these missing abilities have been the major focus for the habilitation since emergence of the normalization ideology in the 1960s. Developmental theories and movements like quality of life and positive psychology have changed focus from training and education to well-being and other internal states in people with disabilities. This article describes how challenging behaviour vanished in a deaf-blind man when developmental theory was applied as the framework for his habilitation. Emotional processing and initiatives increased and the man became easier to understand for the staff. The special case of a deaf-blind man illustrates how simple a focus on internal states may slip and be exchanged for intervention dominated by demands and training.

“…El psicoanálisis contemporáneo ofrece una visión de la naturaleza humana que, a pesar de sus imperfecciones, resuena profundamente con las aspiraciones de la libertad individual y de autogobierno democrático en el derecho constitucional moderno (Gay, 1982). Ninguna otra escuela de psicología proporciona un entendimiento tan amplio y profundo del desarrollo psicológico de los niños (Tyson & Tyson, 1990), ni reconoce la medida en la que los vínculos emocionales y el pensamiento razonado, así como el desarrollo de los mismos, están intrínsecamente ligados a través del proceso de internalización. Las relaciones familiares tempranas son la fuente de nuestras lealtades y apegos más fuertes, así como de nuestra capacidad de combatir compromisos y prejuicios irracionales y destructivos mediante el pensamiento razonado.…”

“…Muchos factores, tanto innatos como ambientales, influyen en el curso de este desarrollo y es imposible indicar con certeza cómo es que estos factores podrían afectar el desarrollo de un niño en particular. Sin embargo, la investigación sobre el desarrollo muestra que uno de los factores ambientales más importantes en esta trayectoria de desarrollo es la relación con los cuidadores tempranos, en particular la relación entre un infante y su cuidador primario durante los primeros dos a tres años de vida (Mahler, Pine & Bergman, 1975;Stern, 1985;Tyson & Tyson, 1990). La investigación empírica apoya el axioma psicoanalítico fundamental de que las relaciones tempranas con los cuidadores significativos son críticas para constituir la estructura psíquica y desarrollar funciones estables del yo (Vaughan, 1997).…”

“…El proceso de internalización, o el proceso de absorber la relación con un cuidador primario, abarca un compromiso afectivo recíproco entre infante y cuidador que, en conjunto con los procesos madurativos y fisiológicos, da origen a la estructura psicológica y los procesos mentales básicos (Behrends & Blatt, 1985;Meissner, 1979;Schafer, 1972;Tyson & Tyson, 1990). La internalización enfatiza la profunda conexión entre las experiencias afectivas tempranas y la creación de un mundo de representaciones internas (Loewald, 1980;Mayes & Cohen, 1992).…”

A Developmental Perspective On the Ideal of Reason in American Constitutional Law

Resumen: El ideal de la razón es central a las nociones contemporáneas de ciudadanía en el derecho constitucional estadounidense. La capacidad individual de hacer elecciones razonadas es afín a los valores de libertad personal y de autogobierno democrático, tal como se han desarrollado en las decisiones de la Corte Suprema a lo largo del último siglo. Sin embargo, en su concepción actual, el ideal de la razón en el derecho constitucional estadounidense ignora el proceso mediante el cual los individuos adquieren efectivamente la capacidad de escoger sus propios valores y compromisos, o de razonar acerca de sus objetivos colectivos. Este ensayo sostiene que no podemos fomentar y mantener un cuerpo social entregado a los principios de la libertad individual y del autogobierno democrático sin entender cómo es que los ciudadanos adquieren esta habilidad mental necesaria. Una perspectiva del desarrollo acerca de la razón en el derecho constitucional nos proporciona un marco para examinar el origen y el perfil de las habilidades psicológicas que permiten llevar una vida autónoma y autodirigida así como participar significativamente en los procesos de autogobierno democrático. La psicología del desarrollo, en conjunto con la investigación en áreas relacionadas, proporciona un sustento empírico a la proposición de que la capacidad psicológica para el pensamiento razonado tiene sus raíces en la relación temprana de cuidado. Por ello, un derecho constitucional de familia integral e integrado debe reconocer el rol del cuidado infantil temprano en la socialización política de los niños. Esta perspectiva de la psicología del desarrollo ofrece un replanteo de la doctrina constitucional en lo que respecta a privacidad familiar, derechos parentales, facultades del Congreso y derechos de bienestar social afirmativos. constitutional law overlooks the process by which individuals actually acquire the capacity to choose their own values and commitments or to engage in reasoned thinking about collective ends. This paper argues that we cannot hope to sustain and foster a constitutional polity committed to the principles of individual liberty and democratic self-government without knowing something about how individual citizens come to possess this requisite skill of mind. A developmental perspective on reason in constitutional law provides a framework for examining the source and contours of the psychological skills that make it possible to lead an autonomous, selfdirected life and to participate meaningfully in the processes of democratic self-government. Developmental psychology, together with research in related fields, provides empirical support for the proposition that the psychological capacity for reasoned thinking has its roots in the early caregiving relationship. Thus, a comprehensive and integrated constitutional family law must recognize the role of early caregiving in the political socialization of children. This developmental approach offers a substantial reworking of constitutional doctrine in the areas of family privac...
