Način vzgoje in varstva utegne v tem obdobju odločilno vplivati na potek tega procesa. Zgodnja separacija in razbijanje diade, ki ni povezano z otrokovim procesom individualizacije, povzroča hude, za razvojno fazo specifične travme, ki utegnejo povzročati razvojne deficite. Za Slovence je dokaj specifično, da otroke zgodaj vključujemo v jaslice. V raziskavi sva želela ugotoviti, ali to predstavlja specifični dejavnik kasnejših razvojnih karakteristik.The process of separation from the caregives, is the most important in preschool years.

It is rather surprising that we cannot find the concept in the Laplanche and Pontalis Dictionary. During the last two decades a growing body of empirical research material on therapeutic working alliance was published, confirming the idea of the alliance as a separate dimension of therapeutic relationship with few recognisable components. The dimension of the therapeutic working alliance was examined in several approaches and proved as one of the most important therapeutic factors, regardless of the approach, and it has finally been accepted as a pantheoretical concept.

It is defined as a force of a symbiotic unity. On the other hand, the phenomenon of coherence is mainly understood as a harmonic connection of different members. Both phenomena, observed through sequences of the time in a groupanalytic group, appeared as the result of the developmental processes of individuals in the group and of the group as a whole. The observation brought to a hypothesis that we are facing the parallelism of the individuation processes and group developmental process that have involved both – group-analytic and everyday interpersonal life. Group cohesion appeared as the result of the overcome chaotic paranoid position. The group, previously experienced as unknown and intimidating, becomes a symbiotic object, safe place gradually supporting the improving autonomy of individual members, mainly through important e...

The term Combined therapy indicates individual (mostly developmental analytic) and group (mostly group-analytic) psychotherapy, led by the same therapist. The presented case study includes the carefully examined therapeutic process of a severe shizoid patient. The process was controlled by constant supervision, including both: the patient's changes and reactions of the group, the transference and countertransference phenomena, advantages and difficulties, as well as the outcome.

Orthodox psychoanalysis was not preoccupied with the question of diagnostic assessment. The psychoanalyst simply introduced the methods and techniques of analysis into his clinical work to determine the analysability of a patient. The first decisive developmental thrust on specific psychoanalytic diagnostic assessment followed the shift to relational theories and clinical practice with borderline patients. The Psychiatric Interview introduced by Harry Stack Sullivan (1954) exposed the question of the need for a specific psychoanalytic assessment. The next step was the development of Hartmann’s Ego-Psychology. The Ego (mechanism of regulation between reality and the person), includes the processes of regulating and organizing experiences that are particularly relevant to understanding near-psychotic and psychotic personalities. Examined as such, it enables the different...

In Slovenia the signs and symptoms of preschool psychopathology are screened for in the population using the Psychological Screening Survey of Three-year olds (SPP-3). The current study aimed to establish a taxonomy of behavioral problems and emotional difficulties obtained via the SPP-3 and document its concurrent validity in regard to the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist, an internationally well-established measure of child psychopathology. Data from over 26000 children was used for exploratory and confirmatory structural equation modeling, while data from 212 children was used to establish concurrent validity with the CBCL. An eight-factor confirmatory model provided the best fit to the data (RMSEA = 0.023, CFI = 0.951) and included the dimensions of Internalizing Behavior, Withdraw...

Na drugi strani pogosto naletimo na mnenja, da sodobne družbe oblikujejo kulturo narcisizma (Lasch, 1978).

Morda bi morali jasneje locevati med (zdravim) narcisizmom kot ljubeznijo do sebe, ki se kaže v dobrem samovrednotenju in samospostovanju, in narcisisticnimi motnjami osebnosti, kjer clovek s samoidealizacijo in grandioznimi fantazijami o sebi v bistvu prekriva prizadet obcutek lastne vrednosti ter je zato se posebej obcutljiv in ogrožen, saj se lahko kohezivnost sebstva (self-cohesiveness) v taksni situaciji zelo hitro fragmentira.
