At the start of March, 2020, during the Coronavirus pandemic, the Italian Psychoanalytical Society (SPI) volunteers organized an emergency helpline. This consisted of a limited series of consultations by telephone or online, with four free sessions which would not lead to a course of psychotherapy. All the operators carrying out this work gathered regularly in peer-supervision groups where they compared their work and fulfilled a holding function for each other. The reasons for the requests varied from the reappearance of a previous psychiatric situation, to the sense of loneliness, anxiety, panic, feeling of persecution, somatizations, and hypochondriacal experiences, and on another level the dysregulation of the familial environment, marital difficulties, and parenting problems. Because of the intensity of the trauma, alongside the commonest defenses, other defenses have been activated, such as externalization, exporting, and shifting into the other of a psychic suffering that cannot be worked through. Emotional withdrawal, the avoidance of contact in the state of heightened alertness are other characteristics of these situations. The suffering that derives from these traumas will then be at the center of a crucible formed by the intrapsychic, the interpersonal, and the transpersonal. Today psychoanalysis is encountering enormous cultural and social changes, and this recent experiment of ours has shown us the importance of working to give a response in moments of crisis since needs that are not worked through today risk being transformed into serious psychopathological problems tomorrow.

COVID-19 大流行以及个人和集体防御

2020 年 3 月初,在冠状病毒大流行期间,意大利精神分析学会 (SPI) 的志愿者组织了一条紧急求助热线。这包括通过电话或在线进行的一系列有限咨询,以及四次不会导致心理治疗课程的免费会议。开展这项工作的所有操作员定期聚集在同行监督小组中,他们比较他们的工作并为彼此履行职责。提出要求的原因各不相同,从以前的精神状况的再现,到孤独感、焦虑、恐慌、被迫害感、躯体化和疑病症的经历,以及在另一个层面上家庭环境失调、婚姻困难和育儿问题。由于创伤严重,除了最常见的防御之外,其他防御也被激活,例如外化、输出和转移到无法克服的精神痛苦的另一个。情绪退缩,在高度警觉状态下避免接触是这些情况的其他特征。源自这些创伤的痛苦将处于由内在心理、人际关系和超个人构成的熔炉的中心。今天的精神分析正在经历巨大的文化和社会变革,我们最近的这个实验向我们展示了在危机时刻做出反应的重要性,因为今天没有解决的需求有可能在明天转化为严重的精神病理学问题。输出并转移到另一个无法克服的精神痛苦中。情绪退缩,在高度警觉状态下避免接触是这些情况的其他特征。源自这些创伤的痛苦将处于由内在心理、人际关系和超个人构成的熔炉的中心。今天,精神分析正在经历巨大的文化和社会变革,我们最近的这个实验向我们展示了在危机时刻做出反应的重要性,因为今天没有解决的需求有可能在明天转化为严重的精神病理学问题。输出并转移到另一个无法克服的精神痛苦中。情绪退缩,在高度警觉状态下避免接触是这些情况的其他特征。源自这些创伤的痛苦将处于由内在心理、人际关系和超个人构成的熔炉的中心。今天的精神分析正在经历巨大的文化和社会变革,我们最近的这个实验向我们展示了在危机时刻做出反应的重要性,因为今天没有解决的需求有可能在明天转化为严重的精神病理学问题。在高度警觉状态下避免接触是这些情况的其他特征。源自这些创伤的痛苦将处于由内在心理、人际关系和超个人构成的熔炉的中心。今天的精神分析正在经历巨大的文化和社会变革,我们最近的这个实验向我们展示了在危机时刻做出反应的重要性,因为今天没有解决的需求有可能在明天转化为严重的精神病理学问题。在高度警觉状态下避免接触是这些情况的其他特征。源自这些创伤的痛苦将处于由内在心理、人际关系和超个人构成的熔炉的中心。今天的精神分析正在经历巨大的文化和社会变革,我们最近的这个实验向我们展示了在危机时刻做出反应的重要性,因为今天没有解决的需求有可能在明天转化为严重的精神病理学问题。
