The investigation of school performance can only be done by relating it to different psychic mechanisms, such as thinking, intelligence, school learning. In obtaining school performance, an important role is played by the teacher's identification of the cognitive structures of students' thinking in the knowledge activity. In order to make the managerial style more efficient at the class level, the teacher analyzes the factors on which the students' cognitive structures depend. It is obvious that memory and intelligence influence school success, performance. The study of learning compares changes in performance with those of the environment to establish favorable or unfavorable factors.

AbstractThe article focuses on psychic mechanisms at work in a life experience of maximum intensity: imprisonment awaiting the death penalty. “Dialogue with death”, the memories of Arthur Koestler on the most traumatic period of his life – his stay in the prison of Seville during the Spanish Civil War – was initially published in 1937, as an important part of the “Spanish Testament”, and was in itself one of the most significant testimonial works of the 20th century on the subject of death. The perspective to which we have subjected it draws on psychoanalysis and is based, more precisely, on the Freudian theory on defenses against traumatic affects.

The conclusion to the book pulls together the many conceptual threads that emerged from the ethnographic material presented in the previous chapters. It argues for a human “shared psychic reality” that can only be expressed and operationalized through the meanings given to it by the cultural world in which each individual is immersed and lives. Thus, while psychic mechanisms have to be “primed” by the individual’s cultural and social environment in order to function meaningfully, so also cultural material, in order to be understood, has to be approached by investigating the subjectivities and psychological dynamics of those who utilize it and produce it. This is particularly true in the realm of conflict, in all its connotations, which is a constant presence in the pages of the book. Indeed, power is here considered to be constitutive of all relations of interdependence between individuals, and not simply as something that someone has and others have not, whether when producing harmony or conflict.


This study aims to explore the role of social engineering in threatening cyber security by clarifying the concepts related to social engineering and its seriousness due to unlink to devices and equipment in general and its dependence on addressing the human psychic mechanisms known for curiosity. The study is based on the descriptive analysis studies that were based on the survey methodology using the questionnaire as a data collection tool, which was distributed to 98 respondents. The study found that the majority of the respondents had no idea about social engineering, and many of the females were rapidly clicking the links.. The study found that m these links can be attractive. The study found that there are significant differences between digital social engineering and hacking of phones and computers..

Chapter 3 is devoted to Nancy Spero’s Codex Artaud (1971–72), an epic artwork in which she orchestrated typewritten texts and painted images to seize the monstrosity attributed to white women if they do not stay within patriarchal constraints. The chapter analyses Codex Artaud as a feminist claim to women’s aggressive capacities and all they connect to: sexuality, disorder, insanity, and protest, but also the capacity to represent oneself as other. The reading focuses on Spero’s conflicted engagement with Antonin Artaud’s writings and the fact that though he was insane, he was able to command the patriarchal orders of language to create a mobile range of self-representations. Spero’s engagement with Artaud’s texts produced a form of writing that both emulates and critiques the masculine privileges that make such self-representations of otherness possible, thereby revealing the aggression from which women in western culture have been traditionally barred. To evoke the psychic mechanisms that enforce this exclusion, the chapter turns to Sigmund Freud’s definition of sexuality in Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905) and his articulation of the expectation that women should not indulge in the pleasures of aggression, but should instead create aesthetically pleasing images devoid of shame and disgust..

Enactments in psychoanalytic theory and practice have been well described as a dynamic that is co-created between analyst and patient. This article explores this concept in analytic couple therapy, focusing particularly on how it is played out in the context of the three-person dynamics of the couple–therapist system. The author considers that only couple interactions that involve mutually coercive projective identification can be truly described as enactments. By invoking dialectical theory and the notion of the dialectical edge, the author attempts to provide an understanding of the psychic mechanisms involved in the transformational moments relating to enactments that occur at times of heightened tension and ambiguity.

ABSTRACTI offer an account of what trust is, and of what epistemic self-trust consists in. I identify five distinct arguments extracted from Chapter 2 of Zagzebski's Epistemic Authority for the rationality and epistemic legitimacy of epistemic self-trust. I take issue with the general account of human rational self-regulation on which one of her arguments rests. Zagzebski maintains that this consists in restoring harmony in the psyche by eliminating conflict and so ending ‘dissonance’. I argue that epistemic rationality is distinct from psychic mechanisms aimed at eliminating dissonance, and these two sometimes pull in opposed directions.
