After a brief review of the way I conceptualize clinical process, I present a case example to illustrate it. I begin with a brief theoretical presentation, to orient the reader for the longer clinical case example that follows. The theory, my conceptualization of unconscious process, is the variety of field theory that I have been developing for some years. The theory grows from the idea of unformulated experience, according to which the unconscious is composed of various, shifting potentials, only some of which will be actualized in conscious experience. Which of these potentials is formulated and thereby emerges in consciousness is determined by the nature of the interpersonal field. Constriction in the field reduces the freedom of thought and feeling of the field’s participants. Freeing the field, then, and not understanding via interpretation, becomes the clinical aim.

The objective of this work is to understand a clinical process of systemic orientation from the perspective of subjective temporality. The work is based on the theory of subjective time and considers its historical and sociocultural dimension, reviewing its main theoretical constructs that will understand couple relationships and therapeutic processes. A clinical case was analyzed a from the perspective of subjective temporality, based on the main antecedents of the case and using clinical vignettes. Participants were a 36- and 37-year-old heterosexual couple who participated in a couple therapy with two therapists trained in systemic therapy for approximately one year. The sessions were videotaped and analyzed through the theory of subjective temporality. The analysis of the subjective temporality constitutes a contribution to the clinical practice, since it allows to understand and to develop an approach centered in the present moment and that allows analyzing the synchrony and encounter of the members of the system.

Jung's Collective Unconscious, Integrative (Mind-Body-Spirit) Yoga, and Self-Realization

The collective unconscious is a construct presented by Jung to epitomize a depiction comprising of memories and impulses about which one is not aware and that is common to the entire humankind. An ancient system of mind-body-spirit practice, yoga, also implies the yoking of human consciousness to super-consciousness, which is an expanded form of the collective unconscious used by Jung. Super-consciousness is not only linked with the unconscious of the humankind but also to the entire nature or Universe all the way to the static primordial state in which there is no vibration and yet is the source of all creation. Yoga helps decipher this primordial state which is also called by some as self-realization. This chapter explicates the concept of the collective unconscious, the system of ancient yoga, a modern practical paradigm of kundalini energy yoga (KEY), and steps for self-realization to decipher and conclude this characterization.

Quantum mechanics is a groundbreaking theory: it not only is extraordinarily empirically adequate but also is claimed to having shattered the classical paradigm of understanding the observer-observed distinction as well as the part-whole relation. This, together with other quantum features, has been taken to suggest that quantum theory can help one understand the mind-body relation in a unique way, in particular to solve the hard problem of consciousness along the lines of panpsychism. In this chapter, after having briefly presented panpsychism, Valia Allori discusses the main features of quantum theories and the way in which the main quantum theories of consciousness use them to account for conscious experience.

The Way

The chapter examines the way the Cold War has been historicized in the mode of films like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Bridge of Spies but also how in other texts it has increasingly been filtered through the lens of nostalgic pop-culture referents. The locations are not simply backdrops but active signifiers, the characters less archetypes than reassembled studies in cinematic RPGs, the soundtracks no longer sombre diegesis but more a mix-tape of your favorite hit songs. This chapter, therefore, argues that, over the course of the 2010s, from Tinker Tailor to Atomic Blonde, art as the unconscious face of politics has never been more important. Reminiscence has thus shifted from a mode of nimble historical furnishings to one that contains a jumble of ideological contradictions designed to accentuate–and critique–the reassembled Cold War mentality of the Trump-Putin age.

Alex Wendt's Social Theory of International Politics demonstrates perhaps more long and hard thought about social theory and its implications for international relations theory than most international relations scholars have dared to venture into. He admirably attempts to do in an explicit manner what most scholars in the discipline do only implicitly and often accidentally: suggest a social theory to serve as the foundation for theorizing about international relations. However, there are problems with his approach, a hint of which can be found in the epigraph he has chosen: ‘No science can be more secure than the unconscious metaphysics, which tacitly it presupposes’. Because metaphysics cannot ultimately be proven or disproved, it is inherently insecure. The insecurity and instability of the metaphysical presuppositions present in Social Theory are not difficult to find, and what Wendt ends up demonstrating, despite his objective not to, is the absence of any secure, stable, and unambiguous metaphysical foundation upon which IR theory could be firmly anchored. Indeed, what Social Theory does illustrate is that there is no such ultimate centre within the discipline except the powerful desire to maintain the illusion of first principles and the essential nature of things. If I may paraphrase Wendt, this is a ‘desire all the way down’ in that it permeates his relentless quest for the essence of international relations. Two goals characterize this desire: on the one hand, to take a critical stance toward more conventional international relations theory such as neorealism and neoliberalism; on the other, to maintain unity, stability, and order within the discipline. Social Theory oscillates between these two goals and in doing so deconstructs the very foundations it seeks to lay.

AbstractA formal expansion for the Green’s functions of a quantum field theory in a parameter $$\delta $$ δ that encodes the “distance” between the interacting and the corresponding free theory was introduced in the late 1980s (and recently reconsidered in connection with non-hermitian theories), and the first order in $$\delta $$ δ was calculated. In this paper we study the $${\mathcal {O}}(\delta ^2)$$ O ( δ 2 ) systematically, and also push the analysis to higher orders. We find that at each finite order in $$\delta $$ δ the theory is non-interacting: sensible physical results are obtained only resorting to resummations. We then perform the resummation of UV leading and subleading diagrams, getting the $${\mathcal {O}}(g)$$ O ( g ) and $${\mathcal {O}}(g^2)$$ O ( g 2 ) weak-coupling results. In this manner we establish a bridge between the two expansions, provide a powerful and unique test of the logarithmic expansion, and pave the way for further studies.

Resumo: Este artigo se propõe a analisar a experiência da temporalidade nos dias atuais, a partir do impacto da urgência contemporânea que ocorre, principalmente, por meio dos imperativos de desempenho. Com isso, busca- se pontuar a maneira pela qual tal problemática reverbera no sujeito, hoje, e explora-se a importância de não atrelar o tempo do sujeito ao sistema de produção vigente. Inicialmente, serão discutidos os imperativos de produtividade e o consumismo para, assim, elaborar a concepção do tempo para a psicanálise, desenvolvendo o modo pelo qual ela concebe a temporalidade em seus diferentes aspectos, tais como a atemporalidade do inconsciente, o tempo próprio da pulsão e o tempo lógico. Com esse percurso, a relevância da experiência analítica hoje será investigada; questiona-se a possibilidade de adoecimento do sujeito diante desse tempo experienciado como pura pressa. Palavras-chave: Psicanálise. Temporalidade. Urgência.Abstract : This article proposes to analyze the experience of temporality nowadays from the impact of contemporary urgency, which occurs, mainly, from the imperatives of performance. With this, it seeks to point out the way in which this problem reverberates in the subject today, and explores the importance of not linking the subject's time to the current production system. Initially, the imperatives of productivity and consumerism will be discussed in order to elaborate the conception of time for psychoanalysis, developing the way in which it conceives temporality in its different aspects, such as the timelessness of the unconscious, the proper time of the drive and the logical time. With this path, the relevance of analytical experience today will be investigated, and the possibility of illness of the subject in the face of this time experienced as a pure haste is questioned. Keywords: Psychoanalysis.

We can think of occurrences as completed events or as ongoing processes, a distinction that corresponds linguistically with the use of perfective and progressive aspects. The philosophy of mind has tended towards an ‘event’ conception of experience and action, but this has both distorted the conception of the causal roles of these aspects of mental life and misplaced the subjectivity of action and experience. Only processes can be present to the subject in the way required for conscious experience and for the practical self-awareness Anscombe describes. Also it has been argued by Michael Thompson that practical rationality must present actions in a processive way. This leaves open the metaphysical question of how to understand process and processes, a question engaged with by several authors in this book.

The Ultraconscious (nirvana, satori, samedhi, ‘cosmic consciousness’, unto mystica, etc.) is a supra-sensory, supra-rational level of expanded consciousness which has been known since antiquity, yet has received little attention from modern psychiatry. Dr. Richard Bucke in his book Cosmic Consciousness listed the following phenomena at the ultimate peak of ultraconsciousness, regardless of the procedure by which it is achieved: 1) Awareness of intense light. 2) Emotions of supreme rapture and transcendental love. 3) Intellectual illumination and uncovering of latent genius. 4) Identification with creativity, infinity and immortality. 5) Absence of all physical and mental suffering. 6) De-emphasis of material wealth. 7) Enhancement of physical vigour and activity. 8) A sense of mission. 9) A charismatic change in personality. Freud, through his concepts of free association and the unconscious, dared to challenge the supremacy of pure reason and helped to free psychiatry from the grip of an ‘exact science’, thereby paving the way to greater rapprochement between Eastern and Western thought. Kelman believes that ultraconsciousness (kairos) can be recognized by the knowledgeable psychiatrist, can be encouraged in the patient and can be an important aid to psychotherapy, for kairos is probably latent in all of us.
