Repressed Memory01:16

Repressed Memory

63
Repressed memories are a psychological phenomenon where memories of traumatic events are unconsciously blocked from a person's awareness. This process occurs as a defense mechanism, protecting the mind from the emotional impact of distressing or painful experiences. For example, a person who has experienced childhood trauma may grow up with no conscious recollection of the event. In such cases, the memories are thought to be buried deep within the subconscious, inaccessible to the conscious...

Sound Waves: Resonance01:14

Sound Waves: Resonance

2.5K
Resonance is produced depending on the boundary conditions imposed on a wave. Resonance can be produced in a string under tension with symmetrical boundary conditions (i.e., has a node at each end). A node is defined as a fixed point where the string does not move. The symmetrical boundary conditions result in some frequencies resonating and producing standing waves, while other frequencies interfere destructively. Sound waves can resonate in a hollow tube, and the frequencies of the sound...

Korotkoff Sounds01:12

Korotkoff Sounds

3.0K
Korotkoff sounds are the specific sounds heard while measuring blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer, typically with a stethoscope or a Doppler device. They are named after Russian physician Nikolai Korotkov, who first described them in 1905. These sounds correspond to turbulent blood flow in the artery as the blood pressure cuff is gradually released after inflation.
During blood pressure assessment, inflating the cuff 30 millimeters of mercury above the patient's systolic blood pressure...

Auditory Perception01:17

Auditory Perception

318
The auditory system is essential for sound perception, utilizing various critical structures. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where three tiny bones – the malleus, incus, and stapes – amplify the sound. This amplification is crucial, as it ensures that the sound vibrations are strong enough to be conveyed to the inner ear. These vibrations then reach the...

Freudian Psychology01:26

Freudian Psychology

620
Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist born in 1856, significantly influenced psychology through his exploration of the unconscious mind. His interest in patients suffering from hysteria and neurosis — conditions without apparent physical causes — led him to theorize the existence of an unconscious mind, a repository for feelings and urges beyond our awareness. Freud's innovative approach included techniques such as dream analysis, free association, and attention to slips of the...

Sound as Pressure Waves01:17

Sound as Pressure Waves

2.4K
Sound waves, which are longitudinal waves, can be modeled as the displacement amplitude varying as a function of the spatial and temporal coordinates. As a column of the medium is displaced, its successive columns are also displaced. As the successive displacements differ relatively, a pressure difference with the surrounding pressure is created. The gauge pressure varies across the medium.
The pressure fluctuation depends on the difference in displacements between the successive points in the...

Area of Science:

  • Psychoanalysis
  • Psychotherapy
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Psychoanalytic work often involves unspoken, implicit erotic dimensions.
  • Understanding these dimensions is crucial for therapeutic progress, especially with inhibited patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the implicit erotic dimensions within the psychoanalytic field using a Winnicottian perspective.
  • To examine the development and function of "erotic sonar" in facilitating connection and movement in therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Engaging a Winnicottian formulation of the analytic field.
  • Analyzing clinical material from a patient with significant emotional constriction.
  • Focusing on bodily experience and subjective registering of erotic and emotional states.

Main Results:

  • Difficulty in "locating" each other within the analytic field was observed.
  • A palpable, potentially erotic sense of connection emerged paradoxically.
  • Development of "erotic sonar" facilitated a kinetic reading of emotional closeness and creative connection.

Conclusions:

  • Bodily experience is key to subjectively registering the erotic, encompassing sexuality, passion, vitality, and creativity.
  • "Erotic sonar" serves as a vital tool for navigating the subtle, shifting tones of the analytic relationship.
  • The study highlights the importance of acknowledging and working with erotic dimensions for therapeutic advancement.
