Selected AbstractsRebirth at 40: photographs as transitional objectsINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDIES, Issue 2 2004Barbara Young MD Abstract This article discusses how a restricted man who had lived a False Self all his life was able to educate the analyst in providing a holding environment so that he could learn to speak in his own voice, take over the control of his automatic bladder and bowel function, and gradually "own" himself for the first time. The analyst , who is also a photographer , explores the manner in which her photographs served as transitional objects to this patient and played a part in supplying the transitional space necessary for him to complete his emotional growth. The analyst expands on the interrelationship of her two careers and the important role her creativity has played in her own life. Copyright © 2004 Whurr Publishers Ltd. [source] Imprisoned Fathers: The Children's ViewTHE HOWARD JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, Issue 1 2002Gwyneth Boswell Children are frequently the forgotten victims of a parent's imprisonment. Their relationships with their imprisoned fathers have been particularly neglected in research and their own voices seldom represented. National research which examined in depth the parenting role of imprisoned fathers contained an important investigation of children's views and experiences and this is summarised here with brief reflections on the implications for sentencers, prison visiting, school and social support systems. [source] Sándor, Gizella, Elma: A biographical journey,THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS, Issue 2 2004Emanuel Berman In recent years, particularly with the publication of the Freud-Ferenczi correspondence, it has become clear that the rich theoretical dialogue between Freud and Ferenczi, a dialogue that may be seen as constitutive for psychoanalytic discourse in recent decades, was intensely intertwined with their complex personal relationship. Two women-Gizella Pálos, who eventually became Ferenczi's wife, and her daughter Elma, who was both Ferenczi's and Freud's analysand, and with whom Ferenczi fell in love-played a crucial role in shaping the Freud-Ferenczi relationship. Their own voices, however, have so far been barely heard. This paper is a preliminary report of a biographical research project which aims to complete the puzzle, by getting to know better Gizella, Elma and their family, with the help of numerous original sources, many of them unpublished till now. The emerging picture tends to confirm Ferenczi's initial view of Elma as a person of depth and integrity, rather than Freud's view of her as fundamentally disturbed; countertransference-love, it is suggested, may have facilitated fuller perception rather than clouding it. The question of the impact of Elma's ,confusion of tongues' with Ferenczi and with Freud on her subsequent life is also discussed. [source] Transferring friendship: girls' and boys' friendships in the transition from primary to secondary schoolCHILDREN & SOCIETY, Issue 1 2005Simon Pratt This paper seeks to explore the issues and concerns that impact upon girls' and boys' friendship groups as they transfer from primary to secondary school. Using the girls' and boys' own voices, we document the extent to which their existing social relationships are disrupted as they adapt to and engage with a new school setting. Through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires conducted in the final year of primary school and the first year of secondary school, we identify students' concerns regarding their attitudes to friendship. We consider the extent to which account is taken of this aspect of children's friendships and explore and analyse commonalities and differences in their responses. We argue that the priorities of our student groups are different to those advocated by the school. We further attempt to examine how the girls and boys in our sample negotiate their new environment.
