Abstract

Operative thinking and alexithymia have been understood as revealing psychic mechanisms dysfunction of most somatic patients in Western culture. In the African context, the feeling and expression of the theme of persecution in Africa are in order. This consists of considering a witchcraft attack as an etiological factor. The collectivist and spiritualist African culture favors the subjects of freedom and creativity, notably through the feeling and expression of the theme of persecution. These subjects are sources of a considerable richness of imaginary and affective expression, all phenomena in opposition to operative thinking and alexithymia, characterized by a poverty in fantasies and affects, and at the level of the nomination of affects. However, as much as operative thinking, the persecutory theme does not favor a higher level of mentalization and symbolization. For this reason, it is quite inappropriate to use symptoms to differentiate between Africa and the West, but rather the relevance of the psyche and culture’s richness.

操作性思维、述情障碍、迫害主题的感受与表达
在西方文化中,手术思维和述情障碍被认为揭示了大多数躯体患者的心理机制功能障碍。在非洲背景下,对非洲迫害主题的感受和表达是合理的。这包括将巫术袭击视为病因。集体主义和唯精神主义的非洲文化偏爱自由和创造力的主题,尤其是通过对迫害主题的感受和表达。这些主题是相当丰富的想象和情感表达的来源,所有这些现象都与操作思维和述情障碍相反,其特征是幻想和情感的贫乏,以及情感的提名水平。然而,与操作思维一样,迫害主题也不利于更高层次的心理化和象征化。因此,用症状来区分非洲和西方是非常不合适的,而是用心理和文化丰富性的相关性来区分。
