Semantic Polarities and Psychopathologies in the Family

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.

¿Qué tipo de configuraciones de las relaciones familiares generan las organizaciones fóbicas, las obsesivo-compulsivas y las correspondientes a la anorexia y la bulimia? ¿Cómo se construye desde la infancia el modo específico en que se organiza el significado que caracteriza a estas psicologías? Y finalmente, ¿qué tipo de patrón conecta a estas condiciones con el contexto cultural en el que se forman?Este libro aborda tres de las psicopatologías más frecuentes a partir del concepto de oposición polar, que ha desempeñado un papel central tanto en la filosofía occidental como en el misticismo oriental, así como en el cognitivismo moderno, que aquí se considera desde una óptica narrativo-conversacional. El modelo que se presenta ofrece una interpretación sistémico-relacional de la subjetividad y abre un intenso debate con el cognitivismo y, en algunos aspectos, con el psicoanálisis.La tesis de la autora, argumentada de manera clara y puntual, se ilustra con ejemplos clínicos y literarios que hacen especialmente sugerente la lectura del texto.
