Using the Rorschach for exploring the concept of transitional space within the political context of the Middle East

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDIES, Issue 1 2005
Shira Tibon
Abstract The paper presents an application of a new Rorschach index, the Reality,Fantasy Scale (RFS) for evaluating the extent to which educated Israeli Jews and Arabs manifest a similar adaptive and functional ability in preserving psychic transitional space. The RFS is a psychodynamic oriented diagnostic tool, based on Exner's (1993) Comprehensive System for scoring and interpreting the Rorschach, and designed to operationalize Winnicott's (1971) concept of potential space. The scale is based on a paradigm that conceptualizes the Rorschach task as inviting the subject to enter the intermediate transitional space between inner and outer reality. The RFS ranges from ,5 to +5, and a score of zero indicates adaptive and functional use of potential space. The results point to a basic similarity between two groups of Jewish (n = 41) and Arab (n = 14) non-patients both using adaptively inner space between reality and fantasy. These results are discussed in terms of current psychoanalytic thought of relationality, political psychology research, cross-cultural personality assessment, and the empirical study of psychoanalytic concepts.

A Nanoreactor Framework of a Au@SiO2 Yolk/Shell Structure for Catalytic Reduction of p -Nitrophenol,

ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 8 2008

A nanoreactor system comprising gold cores and silica hollow shells with empty inner space demonstrated. The Au@SiO2 yolk/shell nanoreactor is synthesized by selective etching of the gold cores in Au@SiO2 core/shell particles (see figure). This nanoreactor framework catalyzes the reduction of p -nitrophenol, exhibiting interesting size-dependent reaction property. [source]

Self and Self-Consciousness: Aristotelian Ontology and Cartesian Duality

PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS, Issue 2 2009
Andrea Christofidou
The relationship between self-consciousness, Aristotelian ontology, and Cartesian duality is far closer than it has been thought to be. There is no valid inference either from considerations of Aristotle's hylomorphism or from the phenomenological distinction between body and living body, to the undermining of Cartesian dualism. Descartes' conception of the self as both a reasoning and willing being informs his conception of personhood; a person for Descartes is an unanalysable, integrated, self-conscious and autonomous human being. The claims that Descartes introspectively encounters the self and that the Cartesian extent of inner space is self-contained are profound errors, distortions through the lenses of modern theories.

Homosocial Desire on the Final Frontier: Kinship, the American Romance, and Deep Space Nine's "Erotic Triangles"

The Star Trek mission, to go where no one has gone before, has returned us to our own inner spaces. One could see the latest question raised by explorations in terms of how to respond when confronted by an awareness of irreducible difference concerning that which bounds and blinds individuals however they are conceived of and wherever they are.
