Reading Ruth : towards a postmodernist, literary and womanist analysis
No full textBibliography: leaves 132-140.This dissertation examines the book of Ruth from a postmodemist, literary and womanist perspective. The main methodology is postmodemist literary criticism, but it employs intertextual and autobiographical approaches as well. Chapter 1 is an exploration of the plot of Ruth and reveals that in order for the end goal of the plot to be achieved "emptiness has to return to fullness." It is shown that Ruth's action (her decision to return with Naomi) is the catalyst that begins the process that ultimately leads to the denouement of the plot. The fact that it is the two women, Ruth and Naomi, who drive the plot forward, indicates that the Book of Ruth is a woman's story. Chapter 2 demonstrates that the significance of narrative time for any literary analysis lies in the fact that the amount of time allowed for the retelling of the events rarely corresponds to the time it took for the events to happen. Since Ruth is a short story, the choice of what to tell, what to omit as well as how long to dwell on details are indeed significant. In other words it is shown that literary time is only spent on those aspects which are crucial for the advancement of the narrative. Since the reader's main goal is to see how the conflicts are resolved, the literary time spent on the resolution of the conflicts is an indication of where the weight of the story needs to lie. In this case, it is certainly with Ruth and Naomi judging from the amount of time spent on dialogues between the two women. They are therefore the ones that contribute to the resolution of the conflicts of the plot. Chapter 3 reveals that in the book of Ruth the narrative voice or the perspective of attitudes, conceptions and worldview are those of a woman. The fact that the book of Ruth is named after a woman; the fact that at the very outset all the males in the story die and it is the women that take over the narrative; the fact that in the end the women of Bethlehem declare that Ruth is better to Naomi than seven sons are just some of the reasons that substantiate the argument that the narrative voice in the book of Ruth was that of a woman. It is also shown that this narrative voice (whether overt or covert) subverts gender and ethnic expectations. Chapter 4 outlines the way in which biblical characters are portrayed. The subsections of chapter 4 deal with the characterisation of each major character: Naomi, Boaz, and Ruth. Chapter 4 is the longest chapter since it is difficult to evaluate characterisation without engaging the other facets of literary criticism as well, such as plot and dialogue

Psychoanalytic approach to the understanding and treatment of a psychosomatic disorder:The case of burning mouth syndrome
No full textBurning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is described as a burning sensation of the oral mucosa, tongue, palate, lips, and pharynx. The importance of discussing such conditions as BMS is that it allows a reappraisal of the value of using psychoanalytic constructs as a means of understanding the mental representation, symbolization, and psychopathology of conditions of a psychogenic nature. Conditions such as BMS are illustrative of the psychoanalytic theories used to explain the origins of psychosomatic disorders. Psychotherapeutic experience with patients suffering from BMS is difficult because of their reluctance to recognize that psychological influences may have been instrumental in creating the symptomatology. A patient is encountered where it is possible to initiate and sustain a psychotherapeutic relationship with beneficial results. The psychotherapeutic experience also revealed a series of data that must be taken into account with regard to the nature of the symptoms
The concept of transference:An introduction to its role in the psychoanalytic process
No full textThe transference is a fundamental concept of psychoanalytic treatment. This chapter provides an evolution of the concept of the transference from its clinical roots. It presents clinical examples that illustrate the role of transferences in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Transferences onto the person of the physician are not immediately obvious, and so it is necessary for him to be on the alert for clues to their presence. When the transference is detected, it becomes an ally of the treatment, as it brings to light an important relationship of the patient's childhood and adolescence. Positive transferences may be purely friendly and caring, and these are acceptable to the patient, or they may be of such a nature—as, erotic or dependency feelings—that they result in being inadmissible to the patient's consciousness. E. Glover demonstrated that the transference neurosis evolved slowly, but even in the first few months of the analysis there were indications of both positive and negative transferences
