Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Patients who have suffered multiple psychic traumas during childhood often form an important part of all analysts’ practices. These patients enter treatment lacking the cognitive skills to get better, and their analyses are necessarily long-term, longer than typical. Early severe psychic trauma arrests the capacity for thinking in the processing sense described by Bion. The result is a kind of concreteness, an absence of metaphor, in which the analyst’s capacity for containment helps the patient to make sense of experience. Much as the mother works with the primal projections of the infant, the analyst acts as intermediary between the patient and a terrifying world of reactivated trauma. With time and process, however, the capacity for thinking emerges, led by a new capacity for metaphor. This achievement brings into focus the value of metaphor and metaphor-work to conceptualize experience and point to what is new and not yet apprehended. Clinical examples are provided to illustrate the processes described. By being alert to the presence of metaphor, even when rudimentary in form, a collaborative, co-creative process becomes possible between patient and analyst in which non-symbolized agony can be transformed into meaningful narrative.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
