Katrien Steenhoudt
The absurdum of another logic: Construction in psychoanalysis
Summary: In psychoanalysis, the function of construction consists in mapping the unheard of the unconscious logic. In this way, speaking (la parole), or the subjective position and thus the desire of the patient, acquire room to move. It is from the dialectic between the unconscious and the conscious discourses that the absurd can be elaborated. This castration happens through a construction which, in turn, provokes the creativity of the subject. This mechanism is illustrated with a clinical case.

De
onnoembare stem van Beckett
Jeroen Donckers
The unnameable voice of Beckett
Summary: What is there to say when there is no story, how to speak about the experience of reading, of reading Beckett. Not speaking about, but within a text, to continue the text, not deprived of hysteria, to start saying something else with the same words, always a new beginning. To experience as such psychical notions that do not exclude each other but rather produce a tension: reading/writing, to disappear/to appear, pleasure/jouïssance. To name this field of tension the drive, in this case, the case of reading Beckett, in particular the drive of the voice that comes to the surface whilst reading.
Key words: Beckett, drive, voice, experience of reading

Treatment
of the actual neurosis: a case study
Summary: In this case study, the author illustrates important elements of the treatment of actual neurosis: 1. (Re-) Installation of the primary relation between the subject and the Other; 2. Symbolisation of the manifestations of the real of the drive; 3. Secondary elaboration and signification; and 4. Subject amplification.

Het falen van de denkafweer bij

The loss of thinking-defence in a case-study of prefrontal brain injury
Summary: The author asserts that psychoanalysis can serve as both a meta-psychology
and as psychotherapy for people who have sustained brain-injury. Changes
of personality after traumatic brain-injury are well documented but a
strictly neurological explanation is unsatisfactory (Damasio, 2003). We
argue that psychoanalytic meta-psychology can explain how brain-damage
translates itself into a changed personality and psychodynamics. The author
starts with Freud’s “Project”, where he describes the
essential function of the I as the inhibition of thoughts (images) that
lead to pain, resulting in the so-called “thinking-defence”
(Freud, 1992: 68). According to the author, this protecting influence
of the I often fails in the case of patients with prefrontal lobe-damage.
This will be illustrated comprehensively by a case-study.

On the objectification of the psyche as a living structure: An epistemological study of Freud’s public and private writings 1890-1900
Summary: In this doctoral defence on the objectification of the psyche as a living structure the author writes a transcendental history of psychoanalysis, i.e., a history which implies that an epistemological questioning of the psyche must be situated on a libidinal level.

words: Freud, epistemology, supplement of meaning, self analysis

Hysterical and obsessive-compulsive depression: a psychometric study
Summary: This paper presents the text of the public defence of a Doctorate that explores and evaluates the possibilities for quantification of the hysterical and obsessional dimension in neurotic psychopathology. It concludes that these psychoanalytic constructs are quantifiable to a certain extent, but that the validity of these measurements, being comparable to those of psychological constructs in general, is consequently too limited to support the testing of these theoretical statements using a positivistic approach.
