The Body in Question in the Existence of Hysteric Persons: A Phenomenological Perspective
The concept of hysteria, although apparently surpassed by contemporary nosographic classifications, continues to be talked about. Following Charbonneau ’s attempt to de-feminize and de-sexualize hysteria, clinical phenomenology can offer a perspective which, freed from stigma and prejudices through the suspension of judgement, allows us to understand hysteria not as a diagnostic category but as an existential position. In this sense, hysteria wou ld be based on a hypo-sufficiency of the embodied self, which is not perceived as solid and continuous and needs external confirmations of its adequacy. According to the optical...

Comparison of Social-Evaluative Anxiety and Theory of Mind Functions in Social Anxiety Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Healthy Controls
Conclusions: The impaired theory of mind functioning detected in our study is more prominent in the schizophrenia group and largely independent of anxiety in schizophrenia and SAD. Although social evaluation anxiety, as a transdiagnostic concept, seems to be independent of theory of mind function in general, fear of positive evaluation seems to be associated with hinting in both disorders.Psychopathology (Source: Psychopathology)

Behavioral Apophenia and Dimensions of Psychoticism in Adolescents with and without Mood Disorders
Apophenia is the tendency to falsely detect meaningful relationships and may indicate susceptibility to more extreme expressions on the psychotic spectrum. This pilot investigated the fragmented ambiguous object task (FAOT), a new measure designed to assess apophenia behaviorally in a sample of adolescents with and without mood disorders using an image recognition task. Our primary hypothesis was that increased image recognition would be associated with PID-5 psychoticism. Participants were 33 (79% female) adolescents with (n = 18) and without (n = 15) mood disorders. Consistent with predictions, increased recognition of a...

< b > < i > Homo dissipans: < /i > < /b > Excess and Expenditure as Keys for Understanding the Borderline Condition?
This paper sheds light on some aspects of what contemporary clinical theory calls “borderline” condition providing a description of a key figure of late-modern culture that I will callHomo dissipans (from Latindissipatio, -onis = scattering, dispersion).Homo dissipans is the opposite ofHomo œconomicus, the form that “narcissism” takes on in contemporary “achievement society,” solely concerned with rational action aimed to utility and production. In order to defineHomo dissipans, I follow French philosopher, anthropologist, and novelist Georges Bataille ’s descriptions of two core phenomena: “excess” and ...
