Deception in Anorexia Nervosa: An Aspect of The No-Entry System of Defense Psychoanal. Q. (IF 0.788) Pub Date : 2023-08-08 Tom Wooldridge
As Williams (1997) describes, patients with anorexia nervosa have been on the receiving end of intrusive maternal projections and consequently develop a no-entry system of defense. This paper explores how deception may function as an aspect of this system in two ways. First, deception may serve as a self-preservative effort to evade emotional contact with the maternal object, which is experienced as

A Metapsychology of the Unrepresented Psychoanal. Q. (IF 0.788) Pub Date : 2023-04-25 Howard B. Levine
The terms unrepresented and unrepresented states are increasingly being referred to in psychoanalytic discourse, without our having established a generally agreed upon consensus about their definition, use or meaning. While these particular designations were never used by Freud, a careful reading of his work reveals them to be qualities that characterize the initial state of both the drive and perception

Unrepresented States and the Bodily Encoded Unconscious Psychoanal. Q. (IF 0.788) Pub Date : 2023-04-25 Sebastian Leikert
Unrepresented states are considered important obstacles to the psychoanalytic process.

Silence, Second Skin, and the Unrepresented Psychoanal. Q. (IF 0.788) Pub Date : 2023-04-25 Wendy Katz
Using the concepts of microdialect and second skin, this paper explores the idea that a patient’s silence in the session may function at multiple levels of psychic and relational organization, and—by virtue of its somatically experienced qualities and the special countertransference states these may elicit—might serve as a vehicle for movement between levels. It can thus be fruitfully approached as
