Costruzioni sulla Teoria dell’Attaccamento: II. Intenzionalità, intersoggettività e significato Attachment theory not only illuminates developmental issues and clinical phenomena, such as the formation of attachment ties, separation anxiety and loss, from new perspectives, but has also generated a research program that has confirmed fundamental premises of the theory and enriched and expanded the theory with new empirical findings. This essay is organized in four parts, the first and the second just published in the previous issue (23/2007). In the first part the authors lay out the basic structure of attachment Theory compared with other motivational systems. In the second part they propose a multi-motivational model of human nature to propose a basic taxonomy of human motivation in an evolutionary perspective. In order to develop a comprehensive view of human motivation, the essay answers to two key questions: 1) What are the new characteristics of our species that make us unique? 2) How do these emerging properties modify the basic motivational systems that unite us to other mammals and primates?

L’Uomo dei Topi. La tecnica standard a cent’anni di distanza The entire text of the original Freud’s notes about the Rat Man has been coded and analyzed using the software developed for the Therapeutic Cycle, adapted to the case. Micro and macro analysis show that Freud handled pretty successfully transfert and countertransference and that the therapy was conducted with an approach very close to the nowadays relational therapy. It has been confirmed that Freud used his standard technique in the Rat Man case, which was going to be unmodified within the rest of his professional career.

L’esercizio psicoanalitico del dissensoThe article outlines the works and the biografy of Johannes Cremerius (1918- 2002), the co-founder with Gaetano Benedetti of A.S.P.’s Psychoanalytic Association and S.P.P.’s Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy School. This German important psychoanalist’s deep and innovative insights on clinical theory and technique are stressed, particularly pointing out his revolutionary view of transference and countertransference and his relational and two-persons psychology approach. Following preview articles and papers about Johannes Cremerius and presenting the transcription of one of his not yet published seminars, this author’s interesting portrait emerges like that of an unique Freud’s lover as well as dissident. His main concepts are discussed here: unconscious and real components of the patient/analyst relation, the therapeutic change, the psychoanalytic training and its actual failure, the relationship between psychoanalysis and contemporary society, the role of the analyst’s neutrality and presence in the therapeutic process. The verbatim transcription of an unpublished workshop led by Johannes Cremerius follows.

I terroristi islamici come patriotiIn its official garment of head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, during its celebre speech to the United Nations, Yasser Arafat has travelled over again the reasons of the Palestinian issue, proposing the equation between terrorist and patriot and aiming the finger against the sionist terrorism. The equation of Arafat has been then resumption from the Palestinian movement against the occupation of Israel Hamas, winner of the elections democratics of 2006 with wide majority, which, with a debatable extensive interpretation, is reached until to equiparare the kamikaze to the martyrdoms. In good substance, the Palestinian revolutionary, also when he completes violent actions, is not a terrorist, but a patriot and a martire: he offers in sacrifice the own life for the freedom of its people. The oratorial abilities to the Engineer are unquestionable, but it cannot not be emphasized that while the combatant Muslim is one that does not hesitate to kill also of the unarmed civilians, Christian martire was and is a not violent one.
