ABSTRACT: We review the concept of mourning, first as conceived by Freud and Klein, and how it relates with the contemporary “clinic of the void” as described by André Green. The clinic of the void is part of a series of modern manifestation of psychic malaise called “new symptoms”. To illustrate, we present the case of Roxana, a Mexican woman whose psyche reflected the dynamic of the dead mother complex. Through an analysis of her interpersonal relationships and past experiences, and comparing with psychoanalytic literature, we conclude that the dead mother complex might become a common condition in our society.

Adaptation Model

Abstrak. Bunuh diri merupakan respon maladaptif dari rentang respon protektif diri. Bunuh diri terjadi sebagai akibat dari stress dan depresi yang disebabkan faktor psikososial yaitu kepribadian, psikodinamika, kegagalan yang berulang, faktor kognitif, dukungan sosial, pengalaman masa lalu, dan stressor lingkungan. Model adaptasi Roy memandang manusia sebagai makhluk biopsikososial dan memiliki permasalahan yang menuntut manusia beradaptasi dengan masalah tersebut. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah memperoleh penjelasan empiris dan teoris terhadap faktor psikososial kaitannya dengan perilaku resiko bunuh diri. Studi kasus ini menggunakan metode deskriptif pada kasus kelolaan di rumah sakit jiwa. Pengelolaan stress yang adapatif merupakan upaya preventif terhadap perilaku resiko bunuh diri. Perilaku bunuh diri tidak akan terjadi apabila individu dapat menggunakan mekanisme koping adaptif yang didukung oleh sosial support, hubungan interpersonal, dan kemampuan memilih strategi koping sebagai faktor protektor. Perawat dalam mengelola klien dengan riwayat bunuh diri harus melibatkan keluarga dan masyarakat untuk mengoptimalkan penggunaan faktor protektor tersebut.  Kata kunci: Adaptasi Roy, Depresi, Perilaku Bunih Diri, Psikososial, Stress  Behavior Analysis of Suicide Experiment with Roy's Adaptation Model Approach: Case study Abstract. Suicide is a maladaptive response of a range of self-protective responses. Suicide occurs as a result of stress and depression caused by psychosocial factors such as personality, psychodynamics, repetitive failure, cognitive factors, social support, past experiences, and environmental stressors. Roy's adaptation model regards the humans as biopsychosocial beings and has problems that demand the humans to adapt the problem. The purpose of this article is to obtain the empirical and theoretical explanations of psychosocial factors related to suicidal risk behavior. This case study uses descriptive methods in cases of management in a mental hospital. Adapatif stress management is a preventive effort against suicidal risk behavior. Suicidal behavior will not occur if individuals can use adaptive coping mechanisms supported by social support, interpersonal relationships, and ability to choose coping strategies as a protector factor. Nurses in managing clients with a history of suicide should involve families and communities to optimize the use of these protector factors.  Keywords  : Roy's adaptation, Suicide Risk, Depression, Stress, Psychosocial

A Short Introduction to Freud’s Mahābhārata Through the Pāṇḍavas’ Mother Kuntī

Mother Complex

Chapter 2 introduces the French psychoanalyst André Green’s concept of “the dead mother,” alive but emotionally dead to her child, around which it introduces the epic’s main story through the interactions of the peace-loving King Yudhiṣṭhira and his bellicose mother Kuntī. Chapter 2 thus introduces the Mahābhārata text and tradition more thoroughly. It takes the tensions between Kuntī and the eldest Pāṇḍava Yudhiṣṭhira as guru to his four brothers to exemplify Green’s dead mother complex, in which a living mother has stopped loving a child, resulting in a “depressed position,” but in which the child may be creative in working through the impasses that the distance from his mother introduces. The chapter traces these tensions in the Mahābhārata, and also finds them suggestive for the Draupadī cult possession scenes during dramas that enact Draupadī’s disrobing.

The Web

Rheingold (1993) and others have described the potential for increased connectedness and community in cyberspace, but critics have charged that the Web increases social isolation rather than fostering interpersonal relationships. The present article explores how creating and visiting Web memorials (activities that initially appear isolating) affect the bereaved. Data from three studies on Web memorialization (descriptions of Web memorials, guestbook entries, and a survey of Web memorial authors) are used to examine three aspects of bereavement community: continuing bonds with the dead, strengthening existing relationships among the living, and creating new communities of the bereaved in cyberspace. Analysis suggests that rather than serving as a poor substitute for traditional bereavement activities, Web memorialization is a valued addition, allowing the bereaved to enhance their relationship with the dead and to increase and deepen their connections with others who have suffered a loss.

Voice And Silence

Healthcare professionals who feel psychologically safe believe it is safe to take interpersonal risks such as voicing concerns, asking questions and giving feedback. Psychological safety is a complex phenomenon which is influenced by organizational, team and individual level factors. However, it has primarily been assessed as a team-level phenomenon. This study focused on understanding healthcare professionals' individual experiences of psychological safety. We aim to gain a fuller understanding of the influence team leaders, interpersonal relationships and individual characteristics have on individuals' psychological safety and their decisions to engage in voice or silence behavior. Thirty-four interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals from across five teams working within an acute, suburban hospital. Hybrid inductive-deductive thematic analysis focused on identifying themes which captured the complexities of individuals' varied experiences of psychological safety. The themes identified were: “Personal Characteristics,” “Past Experiences,” “Individual Perceptions of Being Valued,” and “Judged Appropriateness of Issues/Concerns.” These themes are explored within the context of motivating and inhibiting factors associated with the influence of leadership, interpersonal relationships and individual characteristics on experiences of psychological safety and voice behavior. These results extend existing theoretical frameworks guiding our understanding of psychological safety by accounting for the variation in individuals' experiences and studying these significant influences on voice behavior. Important considerations for the development of interventions to enhance psychological safety are discussed.

Personal Trauma

This chapter focuses on the traumatic events in the director’s childhood that continued to haunt him throughout his life. Tarkovsky scholars often point out the autobiographical nature of his cinema and, more specifically, how the divorce of his parents influenced his cinematic representation of marital relationships. According to Helena Goscilo, for example, Tarkovsky’s personal trauma of paternal abandonment provides a clue to the narrative structure of his films. For Tsymbal, however, it is the director’s strained relationship with his mother, viewed in the context of André Green’s theory of the dead mother complex, that defines much of his artistic impulse. This chapter also discusses what hardships Tarkovsky experienced during the wartime and how his father’s influence inadvertently helped him choose his future profession.

The article focuses on the study of artistic ways of expressing the types of human anxiety that is manifested in private experiences of the characters of Serhiy Zhadan’s novels «Mesopotamia» and «Boarding School». It is established that the prose writer embodied various types of anxiety – basic, catastrophic, neurotic – which arise in crisis life situations of the characters and are related primarily to the unconscious protective mechanisms of their psyche. It was found out that the private anxieties of Zhadan’s novel characters are most often expressed in intrinsic impulses of aggressive or sexual nature (Romeo, Oleg), past experiences, fear of responsibility, inferiority complex (Pasha, Yura), fear ofpunishment (Mario) or threats from the environment (Yura), a neurotic desire to compensate for one’s own inferiority in the sphere of personal ambitions (Bob) or power over others (Marat). As one of the most prominent artistic embodiments of the psychology of anxiety, the reasons for its emergence and the reflection of the subjective mechanisms of its development, the author of the article identifies the structure of the characters: Marat and Sonya – as the embodiment of a whole bunch of neurotic anxieties, involving the existence of internal conflict, disruption of interpersonal relationships with a clear manifestation of aggressive (criminal or sexual) behavior;Yura, whose behavior reveals symptoms of catastrophic anxiety where his feeling of threat from everywhere leads to his own existence being threatened; children (Sasha and Pasha in the memories of their childhood from the «Boarding School», Dasha’s son from «Mesopotamia») as carriers of basic anxieties arising from childhood due to a number of misunderstandings with the adult world, which further provokes the feelings of their personal inferiority, behavioral anomalies etc. It is emphasized that the nature of the characters’ anxiety and anxiousness is somewhat irrational, that it is always «intrinsic», and that bodily symptoms – the visible «body language» – play a significant role in the reflection of the «invisible language» of feelings.

The term vernacular architecture is widely accepted by architects and derives from the Latin “VERNACULUS”, which means “domestic, native, indigenous”, local. So vernacular architecture designates the entire culture built from a particular place. In modern housing design, the inheritance and development of traditional architectural culture is reflected in the inheritance of classic architectural forms and craftsmanship and the rational application of traditional building systems. With the progress of social civilization and the improvement of technological level, various innovative building systems emerge in an endless stream and are widely used in modern housing design. In today’s rapid social and economic development, housing changes are coming quickly, sometimes even seeming a bit rough. At present, more attention is paid to the construction of new residential areas. As far as the field of urban architecture is concerned, the human settlement environment can be understood explicitly as people’s living and living environment. Today architects need to design a settlement that balances all social functions between meeting current needs and future development, designing energy and material-saving buildings, so that it is in harmony with the environment, and is conducive to the physical and mental health of the human body. In other words, the planning process requires attention to human behavior, psychology, emotions, and interpersonal relationships.
