This study explores auto-sensuous shapes, linking early sensory experiences and empathic attunement to creative processes like psychoanalysis and art. These shapes can serve as prototypes for creative endeavors.

Area of Science:

Psychoanalysis
Developmental Psychology
Neuroscience

Background:

Explores 'autistic' or 'auto-sensuous' shapes as described by Tustin.
Integrates theories of early sensory experience and infant-caretaker empathic attunement.
Examines the development of interpersonal rhythms and meaning-making.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the normative, adaptive, and creative aspects of auto-sensuous shapes.
To investigate the formation of meaning from experience through psychoanalytic frameworks.
To understand the role of symbol formation in creativity.

Main Methods:

Utilizes theoretical frameworks from Bion, Matte-Blanco, Segal, and Milner.
Applies concepts of empathic attunement and early sensory experience.

Draws on the author's personal experiences in pattern derivation and creative expression.

Main Results:

Auto-sensuous shapes are linked to fundamental processes of meaning creation.
Symbol formation plays a crucial role in the creative process.
These shapes can function as prototypes for creative endeavors, including psychoanalysis.

Conclusions:

Auto-sensuous shapes offer valuable insights into creativity and meaning-making.
The study highlights the potential of basic sensory experiences to inform creative output.
Psychoanalysis itself can be viewed as a creative endeavor informed by these shapes.
