Adult Male-to-Female Transsexualism: A Clinical Existential-Phenomenological Inquiry
No full textMale-to-female transsexualism manifests itself in the form of a discrepancy between the male sex assigned at birth and the subjective experience of belonging to the female gender, which in many cases also involves a somatic transition by cross-sex hormone treatment and genital surgery. Until now, no studies related to MtF transsexualism have been carried out within the framework of a phenomenological/existential approach. This paradigm would make it possible to better articulate the transsexual experience beyond the simplistic diagnostic criteria by which it is currently defined. In this study, I will reread MtF transsexualism in the light of Ludwig Binswanger's theories on Mannerism and Jean Paul Sartre's remarks on the self and the body. I will do this largely by focusing on first-hand accounts of the MtF transsexual's experience, in other words from a first-person viewpoint. Finally, I will present some considerations on the meaning of psychological intervention in this field
Binswanger, Daseinsanalyse and the Issue of the Unconscious: An Historical Reconstruction as a Preliminary Step for a Rethinking of Daseinsanalytic Psychotherapy
No full textDrawing on Ludwig Binswanger’s work, this paper seeks to reconstruct historically
and theoretically his relationship with Freud and Psychoanalysis and to trace his ideas
with regard to the Unconscious. Tied to Freud by a friendship lasting thirty years, it
started mainly from his encounter with the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, Alexander
Pfänder, Franz Brentano, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger and Martin Buber that
Binswanger developed an original system of thinking and clinical application. The
issue of the unconscious, beginning from this theoretical shift, underwent a radical
reformulation. First, Heideggerian thought allowed him to recognize the importance
of different World-Projects, intended as existential a priori characterized by a specific
internal normativity. Subsequently, the return to Husserl’s thinking lead Binswanger
to rethink again the unconscious issue in light of the field of Passive Synthesis. In this
paper we will examine all these issues and reconsider their importance for psychotherapeutic
practice
