Abstract

The gap between psychotherapeutic practice and clinical theory is ever widening. Therapists still don’t know what role interpersonal relations play in the development of the most common psychopathologies. Valeria Ugazio bridges this gap by examining phobias, obsessive-compulsions, eating disorders, and depression in the context of the family, using an intersubjective approach to personality. Her concept of “semantic polarities” gives a groundbreaking perspective to the construction of meaning in the family and other interpersonal contexts. At no point is theory left in the wasteland of abstraction. The concreteness of the many case studies recounted, and examples taken from well-known novels, will allow readers to immediately connect the topics discussed with their own experience.

  • Embodiment, emotional experience and subjectivity intertwine as intersubjective, intercorporeal experiences, constituted in interaction, not in isolation or in a-priori states.

  • This embodied subjectivity is constituted intersubjectively, intercorporeally, in the interactions between the brothers, and in the way that these interactions are embedded in familial and cultural contexts that entrench perceptions of masculinity as macho-ess.

    “This embodied subjectivity is constituted intersubjectively, intercorporeally (Blackman et al., 2008;Ugazio, 2013), in the interactions between the brothers, and in the way that these interactions are embedded in turn within familial and cultural contexts that entrench perceptions of masculinity as macho-ess.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
