ABSTRACTPlaying music can be a form of symbolization and helpful in processing emotions. Research shows that therapists use music in clinical settings both as music therapy and as an adjunct therapy to talk therapy. However, unlike other forms of art, music is an objectless form of art, which makes it strikingly similar to inner subjective experiences. This means that the role musical instruments play to connect the two objectless sides is important but is difficult to define causation between the two. The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative research was to understand the role of the musical instrument and the role it plays as the transitional object for adults; the instrument was used as the breast object, in line with Klein’s Object Relations Theory. There were 20 interviews with musicians of different ages, instruments, and skill levels to understand the experiences alongside the breast object. The results from the research reveal that participants anthropomorphized their musical instruments and subjectively perceived them as possessing parental attributes and the ones associated with romantic partners. The result can help inform therapists working with patients who have some musical skills to instill an endopsychic structure and repair the impacts of insecure attachment styles.ABSTRAKTDas Musizieren kann eine Form der Symbolisierung und hilfreich bei der Verarbeitung von Emotionen sein.

摘要演奏音乐是一种符号化的形式，有助于情绪的处理。研究表明，治疗师在临床环境中使用音乐既可以作为音乐治疗，也可以作为谈话治疗的辅助治疗。然而，与其他艺术形式不同，音乐是一种无对象的艺术形式，这使得它与内在的主观体验惊人地相似。这意味着乐器在连接两个无物体的方面所起的作用很重要，但很难确定两者之间的因果关系。现象学定性研究的目的是了解乐器的作用及其作为成人过渡客体的作用;该仪器被用作乳房对象，符合克莱因的对象关系理论。他们采访了20位不同年龄、不同乐器、不同技术水平的音乐家，以了解与乳房物体一起的体验。研究结果显示，参与者将他们的乐器拟人化，并主观地认为它们具有父母的属性和与恋人相关的属性。研究结果可以帮助治疗师在治疗具有一定音乐技能的患者时，向他们灌输一种内心理结构，并修复不安全依恋风格的影响。【摘要】音乐与符号的关系与情感的关系是音乐与情感的关系。在德国，音乐治疗学在klinischen Umgebungen sowohl als Musiktherapie als auch als Zusatztherapie zur Gesprächstherapie einsetzen。Im Gegensatz zu anderen Kunstformen ist Musik jedoch eine object klose Kunstform，被称为“内在主体”Erleben verblendähnlich macht。as bedeutet, dass die Rolle, die Musikinstrumente spielen, um die beiden objektlosen Seiten zu verbinden, wittitiist, aber es schwierig ist, die Kausalität zwischen den beiden zu definieren。齐泽尔·迪塞尔phänomenologischen定性研究，乐器研究和乐器研究Übergangsobjekt <s:2> r . erwachene zu verstehen;as Instrument wurde als brustobjjekt verwendet, in Übereinstimmung mit Kleins objjetbeziehungstheory。[20] [footnoteref: 1] [footnoteref: 1] [footnoteref: 1] [footnoteref: 1] [footnoteref: 1] [footnoteref: 1] [footnoteref: 1] [footnoteref: 1]。Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zeigen, dass Die Teilnehmer ihre musistrumente anthropomorphisierten and sie subjicals elterliche Attribute and solche, Die mit romantisschen partner in verindung gebracht werden, wahrnahmen。在临床治疗学上，在患者治疗学上，在<s:1>音乐治疗学Fähigkeiten verf<e:1>学上，在心理治疗学上，在病理治疗学上，在心理治疗学上，在心理治疗学上，在心理治疗学上，在心理治疗学上，在心理治疗学上。RESUMENTocar música按如下格式执行simbolización y útil para procesar las emociones。在研究中，我们发现了利用性畸形的可能性música和利用性畸形的可能性clínicos。在法律形式上的不同，在客体上的不同，在主体上的不同，在主体上的不同，在主体上的不同。对于重要的对象而言，“重要的对象”是“重要的对象”，“重要的对象”是“重要的对象”，“重要的对象”是“重要的对象”。El propósito de esta investigación定性的fenomenológica fue理解El paper del instrument musical y El paper que desempeña como object to transitransiational para los adultos;el instrumento se utilizó como object to mamario, de acuerdo con la Teoría de las Relaciones Objetales de Klein。我们认识到，20位企业家在不同的年代，不同的工具，不同的知识，不同的知识，不同的经验，不同的经验，不同的目标，不同的知识。Los resultados de la investigación revelan que Los participantes antroomizizaron sus instrumentmusicales by Los percibieron subjtivamente como possedores de attributeros parentales by Los associados conlas parenjas románticas。研究结果表明，我们有机会了解到，我们有机会了解到，我们有机会了解，我们有机会了解，我们有机会了解，我们有机会了解，我们有机会了解，我们有机会了解，我们有机会了解，我们有机会了解，我们有机会了解。RIASSUNTOFare music può essere una forma di symbolizzazione e utille ' explelazione delle emozioni。在临床上，我认为音乐是一种完美的表现，而音乐是一种完美的表现，我认为音乐是一种完美的表现。Tuttavia，一种不同的艺术形式，la musica è una forma d 'arte senza oggetto，将会呈现出sorpretenemente，也就是所谓的体验，即目标的内在。Cio significa格瓦拉il ruolo格瓦拉gli strumenti musicali svolgono nel collegare我由于意大利无oggetto e重要,马e固执的definire la causalita交易我。 他是约克维尔大学咨询心理学硕士课程的导师，是国际应用精神分析学会精神分析和电影小组的成员，也是《健康对话》的编委会成员。他是一名注册心理治疗师、注册临床咨询师、精神分析学家和音乐家。Tara Rava Zolnikov获得北达科他州立大学发展科学博士学位。她在一些世界上最著名的公共卫生和全球卫生期刊上发表了大量文章，包括《柳叶刀肿瘤学》、《美国公共卫生杂志》、《艾滋病与行为》、《整体环境科学》等。2017年，她获得了《美国公共卫生杂志》的年度编辑选择审稿人奖。她是《健康对话》的编辑。

ABSTRACTIn today’s multilingual society, psychotherapists are more and more likely to encounter clients with a different mother tongue than their own. The objective of the study reported here was to map therapists’ perceptions of and experiences with psychotherapy in a shared foreign language (LX). Data was collected by means of in-depth interviews among psychotherapists (N = 10). The transcripts were analyzed thematically with great attention to researcher reflexivity. The findings show that the participants report complex experiences taking place in LX therapy sessions. Therapists’ views could be thematically organized under the headings ‘linguistic challenges’, ‘awareness of linguistic and cultural identity’, ‘cultures in interaction in third space’, and ‘multiperspectivity’. Taken together, the themes reveal that the therapists are aware of the linguistic and cultural dimensions of providing therapy in an LX, and that they perceive themselves as operating in a third space that is co-constructed by themselves and their clients. Providing psychotherapy in a shared foreign language brings with it particular linguistic, cultural, and psychotherapeutic challenges for psychotherapists, which need to be managed well if therapy is to be successful. From this understanding follow specific suggestions as to which cultural, linguistic, and personal orientations to take in LX psychotherapy, as well as some suggestions for the education of psychotherapists.ABSTRAKTIn der heutigen mehrsprachigen Gesellschaft treffen Psychotherapeuten immer häufiger auf Klienten mit einer anderen Muttersprache als ihrer eigenen. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Wahrnehmungen und Erfahrungen von Therapeuten mit Psychotherapie in einer gemeinsamen Fremdsprache (LX) abzubilden. Die Daten wurden mittels Tiefeninterviews unter Psychotherapeuten erhoben (N = 10). Die Transkripte wurden thematisch unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Reflexivität der Forscher analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Teilnehmer von komplexen Erfahrungen berichten, die in LX-Therapiesitzungen stattfinden. Die Sichtweisen der Therapeuten könnten thematisch unter den Überschriften “Sprachliche Herausforderungen”, “Bewusstsein für sprachliche und kulturelle Identität”, “Kulturen in Interaktion im dritten Raum” und “Multiperspektivität” zusammengefasst werden. Zusammengenommen zeigen die Themen, dass sich die Therapeuten der sprachlichen und kulturellen Dimensionen der Therapie in einem LX bewusst sind und dass sie sich selbst als in einem dritten Raum agierend wahrnehmen, der von ihnen selbst und ihren Klienten mitkonstruiert wird. Die Durchführung von Psychotherapie in einer gemeinsamen Fremdsprache bringt sprachliche, kulturelle und psychotherapeutische Herausforderungen mit sich, die für den Therapieerfolg gut bewältigt werden müssen. Aus diesem Verständnis ergeben sich konkrete Vorschläge, welche kulturellen, sprachlichen und persönlichen Orientierungen in der LX-Psychotherapie zu nehmen sind
在当今的多语言社会中，心理治疗师越来越多地遇到母语与自己不同的来访者。本研究报告的目的是绘制治疗师在共享外语(LX)中对心理治疗的看法和经验。通过对心理治疗师(N = 10)的深度访谈收集数据。对转录本进行主题分析，重点关注研究者的反身性。研究结果表明，参与者报告了在LX治疗过程中发生的复杂经历。治疗师的观点可以按主题组织为“语言挑战”、“语言和文化认同的意识”、“第三空间中相互作用的文化”和“多视角”。综上所述，这些主题揭示了治疗师意识到在LX中提供治疗的语言和文化维度，并且他们认为自己在由自己和客户共同构建的第三空间中运作。用共同的外语提供心理治疗给心理治疗师带来了特殊的语言、文化和心理治疗方面的挑战，如果治疗要成功，就需要妥善处理这些挑战。根据这一认识，我们提出了在LX心理治疗中应该采取哪些文化、语言和个人取向的具体建议，以及对心理治疗师的教育的一些建议。摘要/ abstract摘要:在心理治疗学研究中，心理治疗学研究的主要内容有:心理治疗学研究的主要内容:心理治疗学研究的主要内容:心理治疗学研究的主要内容:心理治疗学。[2] [j] .临床研究与临床应用[j] .中华医学会精神病学分会。《心理治疗》(N = 10)。德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志德意志。Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Die Teilnehmer von komplexen Erfahrungen berichten, Die in lx - therapiesitungen stattfinden。Die Sichtweisen der Therapeuten könnten thematisch unterden Überschriften“Sprachliche Herausforderungen”，“Bewusstsein fdr Sprachliche und kulturelle Identität”，“文化在相互作用中的书写”和“Multiperspektivität”zusammengefast werden。zusammenmengenommen zeigen die Themen, dass sdie Therapeuten der sprachlichen和culturellen Dimensionen der Therapie in einem LX bewist和dass sessit selbst也在einem写的Raum agerend wahrnehmen, der von ihnen selbst和ihren Klienten mitkonstruiert wid。精神治疗学的发展与发展:精神治疗学的发展与发展:精神治疗学的发展与发展:精神治疗学的发展与发展:精神治疗学的发展与发展:精神治疗学的发展与发展:精神治疗学的发展:精神治疗学的发展:精神治疗学的发展:精神治疗学的发展:精神治疗学的发展:精神治疗学的发展:精神治疗学的发展:精神治疗学的发展。我们的研究发现Verständnis ergeben sich konkrete Vorschläge, welche kulturellen, sprachlichen和persönlichen Orientierungen in der lx - psychotherapy zu nehmen sind和wie Psychotherapeuten ausgebildet werden sollen。简历:en - la - sociedad - multiling<s:1>实际的，有经验的，有经验的，有经验的，有经验的，有经验的，有经验的，有经验的，有经验的。目的:研究比较外语(LX)的感知能力与经验的关系。10例研究结果表明:1)数据集中于回忆，2)数据集中于回忆，3)数据集中于记忆。Las transcripciones fueron analyizadas temáticamente con gran atención a la reflexivid del investigador。实验结果表明:实验对象的相关体验是复杂的，而实验对象的相关体验是复杂的。Los puntos de vista de Los terapeutas podrían organizarse temáticamente bajo Los epígrafes " desafíos lingüísticos "， " conciencia de la identidad lingüística y cultural "， " culturas en interacción en el tercer espacio " y " multiperspectivad "。Tomados en conjunto, los temas as revelas, los terapeuas as conentes of las dimensions lingüísticas，通过culculales de la provisión de terapia en en LX，通过感知sí mismos como operando，通过tererespacio, co- cono operando，通过co- cono operando，通过co- cono operando，通过co- cono operando，通过co- cono concondo，通过co- concondo，通过co- concondo，通过co- concondo，通过co- concondo，通过co- concondo，通过co- concondo，通过客户。在比较贸易协约国以外的其他国家进行比较贸易协约国desafíos lingüísticos，通过比较贸易协约国进行文化交流，通过比较贸易协约国进行文化交流，通过比较贸易协约国进行文化交流。多语社会，多语社会，多语社会，多语社会，多语社会，多语社会，多语社会，多语社会，多语社会，多语社会L ' objecttivo di questo studio è statto quello di mapappare le perception .(在语言陌生的条件下)。数据统计结果表明，中间访谈对患者的心理健康影响较小(N = 10)。用声波状态分析的方法，分析了在大范围内发生的、具有反射光的、具有反射光的反应。 男性代词被理解为包括所有性别。作者简介:slies Sercu是比利时鲁汶天主教大学语言、教育和社会研究中心的语言学副教授。她也是一名训练有素的心理治疗师，用母语荷兰语和英语提供治疗。目前，她的研究兴趣是将(跨文化)语言学与健康(扫盲)教育和传播相结合，她的研究兴趣包括多语言治疗中的传播，健康扫盲教育中的跨文化问题，以及通过学校教育获得跨文化能力。

ABSTRACT In this paper, I try to bring the Lacanian psychoanalytic concept of ‘ordinary psychosis’ (OP) into dialogue with the prevailing paradigms in psychiatry and psychodynamic theory regarding subclinical psychosis: respectively, the model of clinical-high-risk for psychosis and that of personality organization/disorder. OP is a bottom-up clinical approach applicable to both atypical/subclinical psychoses and disordered personality that identifies both the main psychological difficulties encountered and the compensatory mechanisms employed by the individual. Its diagnosis relies on subtle indices or markers of a ‘disturbance of the sense of life’ and of a failure of knotting together the elements of the subjective structure. Many patients typically diagnosed with a personality disorder may be treated as cases of OP. This clinical concept is not limited to a descriptive approach and it offers insights into both subtle psychological deficits and mechanisms contributing to resilience. It avoids the risk of unjustified preventive treatments and stigmatization carried by a model of attenuated psychosis. It facilitates the direction of the psychotherapeutic treatment offering more than support to the individual’s adaptive attitudes. It offers insights into the communication between the medical and the psychodynamic models. OP is therefore a category of clinical utility, psychological validity, and ethical value.

ABSTRACT This paper draws on themes from The Vanishing Half and intersectionality theory to evaluate the usefulness of the term ‘white passing’ for psychological therapists, counsellors and psychotherapists exploring racial identity phenomena in their practice. The context for ‘white passing’ as a historic method for surviving racial injustice is discussed. This will involve consideration of how the systematic invisibility of whiteness has been a cause for harmful racialization of individuals past and present. The conclusion is that ‘white passing’ as a flattened identity label contains dangerous rhetoric about how far racialized individuals are allowed to ‘fit’ into society by those that oppress them.

To be more specific, this editorial ventures, somewhat audaciously, to consider whether psychotherapists, counsellors, psychoanalysts, arts and play therapists, psychologists, their supervisors, their trainers/educators and their professional bodies could do more to protect the public. When I started my psychotherapy training, many other trainees appeared to have already been there for around 10 years. I, whilst having already successfully completed a 3-year diploma in counselling, was to take much longer. Now I would agree that I was probably a more difficult ‘case’ than most, but would I currently be shown that – given therapeutic training today, or would I ‘get away with it’ to both my clients’ and my detriment? In the case of the UK, it is now possible to advertise as a psychotherapist on the main sites that the public uses to access therapy after 1-year full-time training or 2-year part-time training, appearing to be fully qualified. Furthermore, an increasing number of even 4-year part-time trainings do not require the trainee to go to the expense, time, and potential emotional furore, of having personal therapy. Let alone the questions of how many times a week and whether such personal therapy is at least throughout the training. The potential client is faced with the confusing complexity of professional labels, for example, MBACP (registered) and MBACP (accredited), psychotherapist, psychotherapeutic counsellor, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, psychodynamic psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, practitioner psychologist, clinical psychologist, counselling psychologist, and so on. There seems little in the way of help provided, particularly by referral websites, for somebody who is likely to be in distress in the first place to understand all these different titles and labels (let alone to then go into looking at choosing a modality). Furthermore , this lack of clarity over therapeutic professional labels is not just a problem for potential clients, for in my experience most health service professionals, who might advise the client, are also unlikely to be clear. I previously ran CPD programmes for general practitioners who seem to have little clue about these differences – so what chance has the general public?

I, whilst having already successfully completed a 3-year diploma in counselling, was to take much longer. Now I would agree that I was probably a more difficult ‘case’ than most, but would I currently be shown that – given therapeutic training today, or would I ‘get away with it’ to both my clients’ and my detriment? In the case of the UK, it is now possible to advertise as a psychotherapist on the main sites that the public uses to access therapy after 1-year full-time training or 2-year part-time training, appearing to be fully qualified. Furthermore, an increasing number of even 4-year part-time trainings do not require the trainee to go to the expense, time, and potential emotional furore, of having personal therapy. Let alone the questions of how many times a week and whether such personal therapy is at least throughout the training. The potential client is faced with the confusing complexity of professional labels, for example, MBACP (registered) and MBACP (accredited), psychotherapist, psychotherapeutic counsellor, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, psychodynamic psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, practitioner psychologist, clinical psychologist, counselling psychologist, and so on. There seems little in the way of help provided, particularly by referral websites, for somebody who is likely to be in distress in the first place to understand all these different titles and labels (let alone to then go into looking at choosing a modality). Furthermore , this lack of clarity over therapeutic professional labels is not just a problem for potential clients, for in my experience most health service professionals, who might advise the client, are also unlikely to be clear. I previously ran CPD programmes for general practitioners who seem to have little clue about these differences – so what chance has the general public?

ABSTRACT The NICE guidelines (2017) for the psychological treatment of anorexia nervosa in young people recommend family-based therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy or psychodynamic therapy focused on the eating disorder, of all which externalisation is an integral technique. In contrast to this, we are challenging the premise of this method by using Sartre’s phenomenological ontology that does not presuppose the separation of the person from the illness, which is the basic premise of the externalisation. We present the key-concepts of Sartre as described in ‘Being and Nothingness’. We describe the ontological categories of the in itself and for itself, and their development into human reality in the form of facticity and transcendence. In addition, we explore the concept of the look, the psychic body and the notion of objectification through three clinical cases. We conclude by reflecting on the value of Sartre’s existential ontology to the promotion of the importance of collaboration in co-constructing treatment with patients and their families.
