ABSTRACT

In this work, we suggest that children's social withdrawal might be a precursor of Hikikomori, a phenomenon observed among adolescents and young adults. Hence, psychotherapy interventions with preschool children showing signs of social withdrawal might play a critical role in Hikikomori prevention. This paper presents the case of a five-year-old child treated with intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy who began therapy due to his refusing to go to school and exhibiting isolating behavior from other children. Among other symptoms were regression, emotional tension, nightmares, and nocturnal and diurnal enuresis. Moreover, the relationship in the family was difficult, both between the parents and between the parent and the child. The intensive psychoanalytic treatment involved three weekly sessions for about a year, followed by six months with one weekly session. Besides illustrating the therapeutic process through clinical vignettes taken from the sessions, this paper also provides clues on how early social withdrawal can contribute to the construction of internal personality organizations that lead to social withdrawal up to self-reclusion (or Hikikomori).

ABSTRACT

Depersonalization is the frightening experience of being a shut-inside, ghostlike, "true" self that observes another part of the self interacting in the outside world. The "true" self hides safely within, while the "participating" self holds all affects and impulses. This split in the ego is created via internal projective identification in the face of overwhelming affect, unavailability of adequate identifications, and insufficient support for psychic cohesion. As the transference develops, the powerful entrapping cocoon of depersonalization can be projected onto the now-entrapping analyst, where it can be addressed. A clinical vignette illustrates these points.

ABSTRACT

Através deste trabalho gostaria de dar seguimento a algumas reflexões que se originaram a partir do atendimento psicanalítico a uma mulher de 34 anos, no seu sétimo ano em análise, que ainda hoje tem uma sintomatologia compulsiva, mais especificamente a tricotilomania. Esse quadro compulsivo é parte integrante de um desenvolvimento emocional bastante precário, que descrevi em um trabalho anterior (Gordon, 2009). Observei que havia uma dinâmica entre os aspectos compulsivos e os investimentos narcísicos e objetais. Neste trabalho procurarei fazer uma breve recapitulação dessas conclusões, que incluem algumas considerações sobre a tricotilomania, tal como é descrita na literatura psiquiátrica e psicanalítica, e então acrescentarei novos desdobramentos.


Through this paper I would like to give segment to a few thoughts which originated from the psychoanalytic treatment of a woman of 34 years old in its seventh year, with a compulsive symptomatology, specifically trichotillomania. This compulsive symptomatology is part of an emotional development rather poor, which was described in a previous work (Gordon, 2009). A dynamic between the compulsive aspects and narcissistic and object investments was observed and described. The aim of this present paper is to make a brief recapitulation of these conclusions, which include some considerations about trichotillomania, as described in the psychiatric and psychoanalytic literature, and further developments will be added.

ABSTRACT

Numa tentativa de compreender o processo de análise de resistências muito intensas, vividas em nossa experiência clínica, nos deparamos com a teoria dos refúgios psíquicos, de Steiner. Esse autor nos descreve situações analíticas que se tornam rígidas e estagnadas, com poucas oportunidades de mudança em função de pacientes que se encontram paralisados e com dificuldades de estabelecer contato significativo. Alguns pacientes mantêm-se em análise, mas recusam qualquer intervenção do analista. No entanto, essa recusa está para além de uma reação terapêutica negativa. A recusa não parece estar ligada a um movimento relativo a possíveis melhoras no tratamento. O paciente se torna inacessível, talvez pelo uso dos primitivos mecanismos de defesa da cisão e da identificação projetiva. Refugia-se num lugar que o protege, mas não o livra do sofrimento, daí o caráter de estranho recurso. O analista se vê na condição de buscar desesperadamente um contato com esse paciente. A incursão na teoria de Steiner nos oferece pistas para uma mudança na escuta clínica do analista que possa acolher a necessidade do paciente em ser compreendido em seu endereçamento transferencial, no lugar de interpretar ao paciente sua compreensão, que pode permanecer como algo externo a ele. O analista também deve estar atento aos seus sentimentos contratransferenciais para compreender essa forma de organização, e assim poder providenciar um ambiente que seja suficientemente acolhedor.


In our efforts towards understanding the process of analyzing very intense resistance, as observed in our clinical experience, we came across Steiner?s theory of psychic retreats. Steiner describes analytical situations that become rigid and inert, offering few opportunities for change, since the patients find themselves paralyzed and with difficulties establishing significant contact. Some patients continue analysis, but refuse any form of intervention on the analyst?s part. However, this refusal represents something beyond the negative therapeutic reaction, as it does not seem to be associated with progress towards possible improvement in their treatment. The patient becomes inaccessible, perhaps due to the use of primitive defensive mechanisms like splitting and projective identification. The patient turns to a strange resource, in the form of a refuge (psychic retreat) that, while protecting him, does not eliminate his suffering. The analyst finds himself trying desperately to connect with the patient. Our research into Steiner?s theory has brought clues that point towards a change in analytic listening that allows the analyst to shelter the patient?s need to be understood in his transferential addressing, instead of interpreting his comprehension to the patient which may remain as something external to him. It is required that the analyst must be intent on his countertransference feelings in order to understand the patient?s organization, and so he can provide a good-enough holding environment.
