Burnout syndrome is currently one of the key phenomena of modern work culture. Although it is commonly examined within the frameworks of health and organizational psychology, the psychoanalytic approach—particularly the theory of Jacques Lacan—offers a deeper understanding of its structural dynamics. This article presents a Lacanian interpretation of burnout syndrome as a symptom of the subject's (le sujet) relationship to the symbolic order (l'ordre symbolique) and the Big Other (le Grand Autre). Burnout is here understood as a consequence of imaginary identification with the professional role, superegoic imperatives of endless jouissance (la jouissance), and the collapse of desire under the weight of unattainable expectations. Specific attention is paid to Czech society, where recent data from a representative study indicate a slightly declining trend in the prevalence of burnout syndrome over the past decade. This development is discussed within the Lacanian framework as a possible result of the subject's gradual cultural separation from the imperatives of the Big Other. The article connects psychoanalytic concepts with current developments in the Czech social and occupational context and emphasizes the importance of symbolic work with subjectivity as a path to understanding and preventing burnout syndrome.

职业倦怠综合症是当前现代工作文化的重要现象之一。虽然它通常在健康和组织心理学的框架内进行研究,但精神分析方法-特别是雅克·拉康的理论-提供了对其结构动力学的更深层次的理解。本文提出了拉康学派对倦怠综合症的解释,认为它是主体(le sujet)与象征秩序(l' order symbolique)和大他者(le Grand Autre)之间关系的症状。倦怠在这里被理解为对职业角色的想象认同的结果,无尽的欢爽(la jouissance)的超我命令,以及在无法达到的期望的重压下欲望的崩溃。特别关注捷克社会,最近一项代表性研究的数据表明,在过去十年中,倦怠综合征的患病率略有下降。这个发展是在拉康框架内讨论的,作为主体从大他者的命令中逐渐文化分离的可能结果。文章将精神分析概念与捷克社会和职业背景的当前发展联系起来,并强调了具有主体性的象征性工作作为理解和预防倦怠综合征的途径的重要性。

Symbolic Storms: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and the Collapse of Temporality in Climate-Anxious Youth 象征风暴:心理动力学心理治疗和气候焦虑青年的时间性崩溃

The accelerating climate crisis is reshaping the psychic landscapes of children and adolescents, giving rise to new clinical presentations marked by catastrophic imagery, symbolic foreclosure, and a loss of future-oriented thinking. This theoretical paper explores the phenomenon of climate change anxiety in youth through the lens of psychodynamic psychotherapy, arguing that such anxiety constitutes a unique form of developmental, symbolic, and relational disruption. Drawing on classical and contemporary psychoanalytic theories—particularly those addressing symbolization, temporality, containment, and transference—the paper examines how climate anxiety interferes with the child's ability to metabolize emotional experience, maintain trust in adult authority, and construct a coherent narrative of self in time. The work challenges traditional clinical approaches by emphasizing the role of the therapist not only as interpreter but as co-regulator and symbolic anchor in a saturated emotional field. In this context, interpretation must yield to presence, and the therapeutic task becomes one of holding the tension between internal reality and external catastrophe. Attention is given to the dynamics of anticipatory mourning, intergenerational rupture, and the therapist's own countertransference in the face of collective dread. Ultimately, the paper argues that psychodynamic psychotherapy, when reframed to meet the demands of the climate era, offers a unique space in which meaning can be reestablished, temporality reconstructed, and psychic life preserved. In doing so, it asserts the enduring relevance—and moral responsibility—of psychodynamic thought in a world confronting existential collapse.

加速的气候危机正在重塑儿童和青少年的心理景观,产生了新的临床表现,其特征是灾难性的意象,象征性的丧失抵押品赎回权,以及面向未来的思维的丧失。这篇理论论文通过心理动力学心理治疗的视角探讨了青年气候变化焦虑现象,认为这种焦虑构成了一种独特的发展、象征和关系中断形式。利用经典和当代的精神分析理论——特别是那些解决符号化、时间性、遏制和转移的理论——本文研究了气候焦虑如何干扰儿童代谢情感经验的能力,保持对成人权威的信任,以及在时间上构建连贯的自我叙述。这项工作挑战了传统的临床方法,强调治疗师不仅是解释者,而且是饱和情绪场中的共同调节者和符号锚。在这种背景下,解释必须屈服于存在,治疗任务成为保持内部现实与外部灾难之间的紧张关系。关注预期哀悼的动态,代际破裂,以及治疗师在面对集体恐惧时自己的反移情。最后,本文认为,当心理动力学心理治疗被重新定义以满足气候时代的需求时,它提供了一个独特的空间,在这个空间中,意义可以被重建,时间性被重建,精神生活得以保存。在这样做的过程中,它断言精神动力学思想在一个面临存在主义崩溃的世界中具有持久的相关性和道德责任。

A Psychoanalytic Reflection on Fascism, Populism and the Social Transitional Space of the Democracy 法西斯主义、民粹主义与民主社会转型空间的精神分析反思

During critical socio-political conditions of profound uncertainty, social disquietude, frustration, and an inability to creatively imagine future scenarios, regressive and defensive processes of collective nature are acted out to provide an illusory sense of omnipotence, protection, and stability by evacuating psychic pain, anguish, fears, and disorientation. The spread of fascism in the last century and the contemporary forms of populism in Western countries dramatically demonstrate a series of psycho-socio-political dynamics. This includes a denial of alterity forms, the organization of social space architecture through paranoid feelings, the dilution of a group's subjective responsibility accompanied by the need for identification with charismatic leaders, sensemaking processes ideologically shaped on a unique homologated form without the possibility of divergence or diversity, and the emergence of new hyper-simplified languages based on the immediacy of thought-action. From the perspective of psychoanalysis, all of these circumstances show the difficulties of dealing with the social transitional space of democracy. Indeed, by their very nature, democratic institutions are potentially unsaturated areas of thirdness and otherness where subjective and collective levels can meet, where it is possible to work on limits, recognize borders, and undertake regulatory, intermediary, and symbolic processes in service of growth, learning, and development.

在极度不确定、社会不安、沮丧和无法创造性地想象未来情景的关键社会政治条件下,集体本性的倒退和防御过程被表演出来,通过疏散精神痛苦、痛苦、恐惧和迷失方向来提供一种无所不能、保护和稳定的虚幻感。上个世纪法西斯主义在西方国家的蔓延和当代形式的民粹主义戏剧性地展示了一系列心理-社会-政治动态。这包括对另类形式的否定,通过偏执的感觉组织社会空间建筑,伴随着对魅力领袖认同的需要而稀释群体的主观责任,在意识形态上形成的独特的同一性形式,没有分歧或多样性的可能性,以及基于思想行动的即时性的新的超简化语言的出现。从精神分析的角度来看,所有这些情况都显示了处理民主社会转型空间的困难。事实上,就其本质而言,民主制度是第三性和他性的潜在不饱和领域,在这里,主观和集体水平可以相遇,在这里,人们有可能在限制上工作,承认边界,并为增长、学习和发展进行监管、中介和象征过程。

A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Malignancies in the American Psyche: Containing Destructive Populism, Large Group Regression, and Cultism 从精神分析的角度看美国人心灵中的恶性肿瘤:包含破坏性的民粹主义、大群体回归和邪教

Most of what goes on in political discourse tends to accommodate to conscious psychology and rational thinking; nonetheless, there remains a perplexing, powerful and much less visible, primarily unconscious piece that can help address the chaos that threatens democracy's rather fragile nature. The limits of rational thinking become apparent when we consider the forceful powers of phantasies underlying human destructiveness. Consequently, including a psychoanalytic lens is essential to appreciate how and why a rational approach, while necessary, remains insufficient to grapple with the non-rational, unconscious and highly emotionally charged forces in American politics as well as in democratic-leaning movements worldwide. This paper seeks to deepen understanding through addressing such components as the long-standing nature of American populism and its relationship to both democracy and authoritarianism; the conditions leading to large-group regression as well as the unique fit between malignant leadership and perverted containment within regressed groups; the psychic mechanisms, including delusional and other psychotic processes, that turn a regressed large group into a personality cult; and finally, the unique contributions psychoanalysis can make in managing such regressive, malevolent dynamics to help chart a realistically hopeful path forward.

政治话语中的大部分内容都倾向于适应有意识的心理和理性思考;尽管如此,仍然有一个令人困惑的、强大的、不太明显的、主要是无意识的部分,可以帮助解决威胁民主相当脆弱的本质的混乱。当我们考虑到潜藏在人类破坏性背后的幻想的强大力量时,理性思考的局限性就变得显而易见了。因此,包括一个精神分析的镜头是必不可少的,以理解如何和为什么理性的方法,虽然是必要的,仍然不足以应付非理性,无意识和高度情绪化的力量在美国政治和世界范围内的民主倾向运动。本文试图通过解决美国民粹主义的长期性质及其与民主和威权主义的关系等组成部分来加深理解;导致大群体退化的条件以及退化群体内部恶性领导与变态遏制之间的独特契合;心理机制,包括妄想和其他精神病过程,将一个倒退的大群体变成个人崇拜;最后,精神分析可以在管理这种倒退的,恶意的动力方面做出独特的贡献,以帮助绘制一条现实的充满希望的前进道路。

“Democracy,” USA
IF 0.4 Q3 PSYCHOLOGY, PSYCHOANALYSIS Pub Date : 2025-07-22 DOI: 10.1002/aps.70007
Marc Edelman

What does it mean to be an effective citizen in a democracy? Answering this question requires unpacking “democracy” and an analysis of institutions that systematically disempower and alienate citizens. This paper briefly examines the contributions of psychoanalysis to understanding democracy and authoritarianism. It scrutinizes U.S. governance institutions and points to democratic deficits and backsliding present even before Trump 1.0 and 2.0. These range from the Electoral College, the Senate, and the Supreme Court to the Federal Communications Commission. All contributed to institutionalizing minority rule and elite capture. Governance institutions failed to deliver what the American people tell opinion pollsters they want, including affordable health care, a higher minimum wage, regulation of industry and finance, reduced educational, medical and housing debt, a serious climate change policy, an economy that provides meaningful work, abolition of the Electoral College, the popular vote for president, and labor, reproductive and consumer rights. Elite capture limits effective citizenship in multiple ways. Social exclusion involves the systemic, structural exclusion of people from institutions to which they are supposed to have access and from rights to which they are entitled. Elite capture and social exclusion have very real material effects on the population. They also deeply structure subjectivity and fuel beliefs in conspiracy theories and authoritarian demagogues. A full discussion of Trump 1.0 and 2.0 is beyond the scope of this paper. The rise of a deeply authoritarian and reactionary movement and administration, however, cannot be separated from earlier processes of systemic exclusion and disinformation that left significant portions of the electorate feeling enraged and abandoned.

在一个民主国家,成为一个有效的公民意味着什么?回答这个问题需要解开“民主”的包装,并分析那些系统性地剥夺公民权力和疏远公民的制度。本文简要探讨了精神分析对理解民主和威权主义的贡献。它仔细审视了美国的治理机构,指出了早在特朗普1.0和2.0之前就存在的民主赤字和倒退。这些机构包括选举团、参议院、最高法院和联邦通信委员会。所有这些都促成了少数人统治和精英俘虏的制度化。治理机构未能提供美国人民告诉民意调查员他们想要的东西,包括负担得起的医疗保健、更高的最低工资、对工业和金融的监管、减少教育、医疗和住房债务、严肃的气候变化政策、提供有意义工作的经济、废除选举团制度、普选总统、以及劳工、生育和消费者权利。精英捕获在多个方面限制了有效的公民身份。社会排斥是指人们被系统地、结构性地排除在他们应该进入的机构之外,被排除在他们应该享有的权利之外。精英捕获和社会排斥对人口有非常真实的物质影响。它们还深刻地构建了主观性,助长了阴谋论和威权煽动家的信仰。对特朗普1.0和2.0的全面讨论超出了本文的范围。然而,一个极度专制和反动的运动和政府的崛起,与早期系统性排斥和虚假信息的过程密不可分,这些过程让相当一部分选民感到愤怒和被抛弃。

The Unconscious of Photography 摄影的无意识
IF 0.4 Q3 PSYCHOLOGY, PSYCHOANALYSIS Pub Date : 2025-07-12 DOI: 10.1002/aps.70006
Kinga Prochownik

What makes some photographs electrify and move us? According to the author, the camera remains in the service of a mental apparatus which looks for the possibility of expressing its contents, both conscious and unconscious—which are all kinds of human needs, desires, dreams and thoughts. The author directs her thoughts in the area of unconscious intersubjectivity, referring most of all to the Freudian theory of unconscious receptivity and unconscious communication, as well as Winnicott's concept of the mirror role of mother and play. Attention is drawn to the uniqueness of the photographic transition of space, in which a special place is occupied by light, which is not only a type of paint, but also a unique partner of fun, thanks to which the form, shape and depth of photography is created. The essay itself is a transitional space between various psychoanalytic narrations and various narrations of photographs in which the paintings of the Polish photographer Edward Hartwig have a special place.

是什么让一些照片触电并感动我们?根据作者的说法,照相机仍然是一种精神装置,它寻找表达其内容的可能性,无论是有意识的还是无意识的,这些内容是人类的各种需求、欲望、梦想和思想。作者将她的思想引导到无意识主体间性领域,主要参考弗洛伊德关于无意识接受和无意识交流的理论,以及温尼科特关于母亲和游戏的镜像角色的概念。人们注意到摄影空间过渡的独特性,其中光线占据了一个特殊的地方,它不仅是一种颜料,而且是独特的乐趣伙伴,因此创造了摄影的形式,形状和深度。这篇文章本身就是一个介于各种精神分析叙述和各种摄影叙述之间的过渡空间,其中波兰摄影师爱德华·哈特维格(Edward Hartwig)的绘画有着特殊的地位。

The essay itself is a transitional space between various psychoanalytic narrations and various narrations of photographs in which the paintings of the Polish photographer Edward Hartwig have a special place.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies","volume":"22 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mimetic Desire and Fantasies of Deliverance: Crucifying Girard's Claims About Religious Violence and Revelation 模仿欲望与解脱幻想:吉拉德关于宗教暴力与启示的主张

A previous paper described and challenged Girard's extensive revisions and rejections of psychoanalytic ideas, further elucidating some of his egregious misunderstandings and erroneous claims. This paper continues by dissecting his problematic claims about religion, especially his dubious insistence that Christian revelation is the only panacea for victimization and violence. Girard's fundamental (and repeated) assertions are that (1) all violence must be understood as mimetic, (2) the sole purpose of religion is to prevent the recurrence of reciprocal violence, (3) Christianity is the only revelation that offers a way out of violence, but that (4) if the history of Christianity is a bloodbath of crusades, inquisitions, persecutions, and massacres, this is because people have been poorly Christianized, because the revelation is profound and takes considerable time to grasp, and because of various problems that are never the actual fault of Christianity. It's still the only revelation that offers an escape from violence, and the only one that can accomplish this feat. Despite the importance of Girard's contributions, these theological claims will all be parsed out and dismembered to demonstrate how they are irretrievably incoherent. This paper critiques such reductive and disjointed arguments, and calls for a more complicated psychology of religion and violence.

之前的一篇论文描述并挑战了吉拉德对精神分析思想的广泛修改和拒绝,进一步阐明了他的一些令人震惊的误解和错误主张。本文继续剖析他关于宗教的有问题的主张,特别是他可疑的坚持,即基督教启示是解决受害者和暴力的唯一万灵药。吉拉德的基本(和反复)主张是:(1)所有暴力都必须被理解为模仿;(2)宗教的唯一目的是防止相互暴力的再次发生;(3)基督教是唯一提供暴力出路的启示;但是(4)如果基督教的历史是十字军东征、宗教裁判所、迫害和屠杀的血腥大屠杀,那是因为人们没有被基督教化。因为启示是深刻的,需要相当长的时间来理解,因为各种各样的问题从来都不是基督教的真正错误。它仍然是唯一能让人逃离暴力的启示,也是唯一能完成这一壮举的启示。尽管吉拉德的贡献很重要,但这些神学主张都将被解析和肢解,以证明它们是如何不可挽回地不连贯的。本文批评了这种简化和脱节的论点,并呼吁对宗教和暴力进行更复杂的心理分析。

Envy and Culture: Unusual Suspects in Corrupt Workplace Behaviors 嫉妒与文化:职场腐败行为的不寻常之处

This paper explores the intersection of envy and culture in the perpetuation of corrupt workplace practices in Ghana. Drawing on Kleinian and Bionian psychoanalytic theories, particularly Bion's basic assumptions, we examine how unconscious group dynamics manifest as corruption across public, private, and religious organizations. Through detailed case studies of organizations in each sector, we illustrate how employees unconsciously attack the very institutions they depend on, driven by envy masked as entitlement or normalized by cultural practices and religious rationalizations. We argue that corruption is not merely a rational choice but a symptom of deeper psychological and cultural currents. To address this, we advocate for a psychoanalytic framework that brings unconscious processes into awareness, enabling targeted psychoeducation and systemic intervention. This study offers new insights into the psychosocial underpinnings of corruption and emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary strategies to address the colossal problem of corruption in organizations operating within similar cultures.

本文探讨了嫉妒和文化的交集在腐败的工作场所实践在加纳的延续。借鉴Kleinian和Bion的精神分析理论,特别是Bion的基本假设,我们研究了无意识的群体动力学如何在公共、私人和宗教组织中表现为腐败。通过对每个部门组织的详细案例研究,我们说明了员工是如何无意识地攻击他们所依赖的机构的,受到伪装成权利的嫉妒的驱动,或者被文化习俗和宗教合理化规范化。我们认为,腐败不仅是一种理性选择,而且是一种更深层次的心理和文化潮流的症状。为了解决这个问题,我们提倡一种精神分析框架,将无意识过程带入意识,实现有针对性的心理教育和系统干预。这项研究为腐败的社会心理基础提供了新的见解,并强调需要跨学科战略来解决在类似文化中运作的组织中的腐败问题。
