Borderline Personality Disorder, Lived Space, and the Stimmung.

Most articles and theories about borderline personality disorder (BPD), either in the psychoanalytical field or the cognitivist one, explicitly or implicitly inscribe themselves in a topographical framework that either carry a fundamental representational a priori or give prominence to causal explanations. Less is written about the phenomenological everyday life-world of borderline people. This article aims to contribute to the description of such a world. Drawing upon clinical sequences that give prominence to the first-person perspective, we will analyse the experience of some typical "symptoms" of BPD in a phenomenological and topological way. We will be led to conclude that the borderline stimmung seems to display the following characteristics: a pervading immediacy of lived experience, a territorialization that tends towards ubiquity, a certain difficulty to deal with the unity and difference poles, a quite horizontal concern with ecstasy and elation, and a waning of reflexivity in the lived space.

ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION DURING PREGNANCY AND TEMPERAMENT IN EARLY INFANCY: FINDINGS FROM A MULTI-ETHNIC, ASIAN, PROSPECTIVE BIRTH COHORT STUDY.

Maternal antenatal mood is associated with negative infant temperament. This link has not been substantiated in Asian populations. We evaluated the association between antenatal maternal mood and infant temperament among Asian mother-infant pairs. Antenatal maternal depression and anxiety were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (J. Cox, J. Holden, & R. Sagovsky, 1987) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (C. Spielberger, R. Gorsuch, R. Lushene, P. Vagg, & G. Jacobs, 1983), respectively, at 26 weeks of pregnancy and 3 months' postnatally. Infant temperament was evaluated with the Early Infant Temperament Questionnaire (B. Medoff-Cooper, W.B. Carey, & S.C. McDevitt, 1993) at 3 months. Factor analysis was performed to extract culturally relevant categories of temperamental traits. Linear regression was performed to examine the influences of antenatal maternal mood on the factor-model-derived infant temperament. Of the 609 mothers, 11% met risk criteria for depression, 17% for state-anxiety, and 19% for trait-anxiety during pregnancy. Factor analysis yielded three infant temperament factors: Emotionality and Attentional Regulation, Sensory Reactivity, and Regularity and Motor Expression, Cronbach's αs = 0.613, 0.712, and 0.752, respectively. Maternal antenatal state-anxiety, p < .001, and trait anxiety, p = .005, were associated with negative emotionality and poor attentional regulation, especially among Chinese, whereas depression was not, p = .090. There was an association between maternal antenatal anxiety and negative infant temperamental traits in this Asian sample.

Hans Gumbrecht: contribuições para pensar no exterior da clausura hermenêutica / Hans Gumbrecht: contributions to thinking outside the clausura hermeneutics

A pretensão maior da obra de Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht é virar a substancialidade do Ser contra a tese da universalidade da interpretação. O autor parte de uma crítica ao paradigma sujeito/objeto e concentra seus estudos no que ele nomeia de campo não hermenêutico, buscando pensar e alcançar a relação do homem com o mundo e com os outros homens, em uma dimensão que, não, exclusivamente, a do sentido. Os esforços de Gumbrecht se traduzem no que ele chama de sujar as mãos a sério, desenvolvendo uma série de conceitos para uma produção de presença, com base em uma leitura particular do conceito de ser no mundo, de Martin Heidegger. A partir dessa produção de presença, há desdobramentos, e outras noções emergem de suas argumentações­ momentos de intensidade e Stimmung ­ com foco, sempre, em uma leitura da dimensão material, procurando restabelecer o contato do homem com as coisas do mundo

The biggest pretension of Hans UlrichGumbrecht with his work is to turn the substantiality of the Being against the thesis of the universality of interpretation. The author begins in a critical paradigm subject/object and concentrate your studies in what he calls "nonhermeneutic field", trying to thinking and reach man's relationship with the world and with other human beings, in a dimension which, is not exclusively, the dimension of the sense. Gumbrecht eff orts is translated in what he calls"get the hands dirty to heart", developing a series of concepts for a "production of presence", basedon a particular reading of the concept of "being in the world", by Martin Heidegger. Based on this "production of presence", exist consequences,and other notions emerge from the arguments - "Moments of intensity" and Stimmung - always focusing on a read of "physical dimension", trying to restore contact between the man and "the things of theworld"
