西游记是明代吴承恩所攥写的。西游记的主角是孙悟空。孙悟空出生时，具有超自然力量，但是一直很叛逆。因为孙悟空对天堂犯了大错，所以他受到惩罚，他必须帮助玄奘去印度取经回中国。整个旅程中，孙悟空和朝圣者经历八十一场灾难，也让孙悟空变成了一个更好的人。这篇论文应用西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的性心理發展分析为什么孙悟空在朝圣中，行为和性格变的更好。孙悟空在生命的早期阶段发展了固着，通过一直吃达到自我享乐。之后，孙悟空找到了他的阳具，如意金箍棒，孙悟空一直用如意金箍棒试图征服。孙悟空也开始仿效他的父亲形象，玉皇大帝。因为孙悟空违反玉皇大帝的法律，玉皇大帝试图处决孙悟空，但是失败了。所以，孙悟空认为强的人是高于法律的。然而只有佛陀能给孙悟空惩罚，把孙悟空放在五阶山下。孙悟空在五阶山下五百年以后，观音委任孙悟空保护玄奘去印度取经。孙悟空在玄奘身上找到了一位父亲形象，在观音身上找到了一位母亲形象。孙悟空模仿玄奘不使用他的阳具，如意金箍棒试图征服。反而，孙悟空用如意金箍棒做好事，不伤人。
The Journey to the West is written by Wu Cheng'en,1505-1580 A.D., during the Ming Dynasty, 1368–1644 A.D. The protagonist in The Journey to the West is named Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is born with supernatural powers and is always up to no good. As punishment for his crimes against the Heaven, Sun Wukong must take a journey to India to help the monk Tripitaka, in order to retrieve Buddhist scriptures back to China. Throughout the journey Sun Wukong and the pilgrims will go through eightyone calamities. The pilgrimage transforms Sun Wukong into becoming a better man. This paper applies Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual development to Sun Wukong to understand his actions and personality and why it changes for the better during The Journey to the West. Sun Wukong develops a fixation to always pleasure himself through eating in the early stages of his life. Later Sun Wukong finds his phallus, the Golden Rod, to conquer, imitating his first father figure, the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor tries to execute Sun Wukong for disobeying his laws, but fails. Therefore, Sun Wukong believes that strong people are above the law. The only one that is strong enough to punish him is Buddha by putting Sun Wukong under the FivePhase Mountain. After five hundred years under the mountain, Sun Wukong is assigned by Guanyin to protect Tripitaka during the pilgrimage. Sun Wukong finds a father figure in Tripitaka and a mother figure in Guanyin. Sun Wukong imitates Tripitaka’s kind nature by not using his phallus, the Golden Rod, to conquer. Instead Sun Wukong uses the Golden Rod to do good merits and not hurt humans.

This research entailed the development, pilot and randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a psychosexual information booklet for women undergoing pelvic radiation therapy (PRT) for gynaecological or anorectal cancer. This was undertaken due to: the high prevalence of psychosexual morbidity following PRT, a paucity of research in women affected by anorectal cancer, and the lack of existing resources to facilitate rehabilitation and reduce distress in this area. The booklet was informed by the literature review, input from an expert multi-disciplinary advisory group, and published standards in developing information materials for cancer consumers. After the booklet development, a mainly qualitative retrospective pilot study explored women’s experiences and vaginal changes/psychosexual rehabilitation informational needs after PRT; the feasibility and acceptability of the booklet and the measurement protocol for a later RCT. The pilot highlighted many PRT-related adjustment challenges and unmet informational needs, particularly regarding sexual rehabilitation. Overall, the pilot findings provided support for the booklet provision to better support women in physical and psychosexual rehabilitation following PRT. A revised version of the booklet was prospectively evaluated in a multicentre RCT. The longitudinal RCT evaluated whether the booklet improved adherence to recommended rehabilitation strategies (vaginal dilator use, vaginal lubrication and pelvic floor muscle exercises), improved knowledge of rehabilitation strategies, lowered levels of anxiety, depression and PRT-related psychological distress and improved sexual activity, function and satisfaction post PRT. The RCT demonstrated that the booklet improved knowledge and vaginal dilator use at 3 and 6 months. Given the many patient-clinician and patient-related barriers inhibiting the use of vaginal dilators, this represents an important outcome and basis for further improvement of women’s psychosexual outcomes.

Cette recherche s’engage à comprendre la question des orientations sexuelles, en essayant de répondre aux questions soulevées par les comportements des sujets qui souffrent à cause de leur orientation homo/hétérosexuelle ou d’autres préférences. Cette étude propose d'abord des questions et méthodologies avec l’objectif de faire une recherche crédible sur la transmission intergénérationnelle et les orientations sexuelles. Elle s'adresse d'abord aux homo/hétérosexuels eux-mêmes, hommes et femmes, qu'ils soient sortis ou non de leur souffrance, qu'ils vivent seuls ou en couple. Elle doit leur permettre de mieux saisir les spécificités de ce qu’ils ont introjecté tout au long de leur cycle de vie pour conquérir leur identité sexuelle/orientation sexuelle et, surtout, débusquer l'homophobie sous toutes ses formes, y compris celle qu'ils portent souvent en eux-mêmes. Mais elle s'adresse aussi, de manière générale, à tous ceux qui ne sont pas satisfaits des clichés et des préjugés habituels identificatoires/orientations sexuelles différents de la civilisation hétérosexualiste. Il s’agit de faire connaissances des causes psychosociales et cliniques pour pouvoir intervenir dans le domaine de la santé. En tant que cliniciens, nous présentons une recherche qui exploite les causes qui déterminent des comportements sexuels chez les humains, surtout les formes de développement psychosexuel versus activité sexuelle
The purpose of this research is to understand the issue of the sexual orientations, trying to answer the questions raised by the behavior of those who suffer with their homosexuality or other sexual orientation. This study firstly suggests questions and methodologies aiming to do a credible research about the attachment and sexual orientations. This research is firstly addressed to the homo/heterosexuals themselves, men and women, who have assumed themselves or not, whether they live alone or as a couple. It must allow them to better understand the details of their sexual orientation and, above all, to scrutinize the homophobia in all its ways, taking in account that one which most of the time they have in themselves, without knowing. However it’s also addressed, in a general way, to those who are not pleased with the usual clichés and prejudices of the different sexual orientations of the heterosexual society. The question is to know the clinical and psychosocial causes in order to be able to intervene in the health domain. As doctors, we present a research that explores the causes, which determine the homo/heterosexual behaviors between humans, especially the patterns of psychosexual development versus sexual activity

Introdução: O desenvolvimento psicossexual humano inicia no período pré-natal e é composto pelo papel de gênero (PG), pela identidade de gênero (IG) e pela orientação sexual (OS). Em indivíduos com DDS 46,XY, vários fatores podem comprometer esse desenvolvimento, levando a incongruência de identidade de gênero e à mudança de gênero. Nesses pacientes, a exposição androgênica pré-natal e o grau de virilização da genitália externa tem sido avaliados como possíveis influenciadores destes desfechos, mas seu papel ainda não foi esclarecido. Objetivos: Avaliar os desfechos psicossexuais - IG, PG e OS - e aspectos da vida sexual em uma coorte de indivíduos com DDS 46,XY na idade adulta com diagnostico etiológico caracterizado do ponto de vista clínico e molecular e investigar a influência da exposição androgênica pré-natal e do grau de virilização da genitália externa nesses desfechos e na prevalência de disforia de gênero (DG). Pacientes: 144 pacientes com diagnóstico etiológico confirmado de DDS 46,XY acompanhados do HCFMUSP com idade entre 16 e 60 anos foram incluídos neste estudo. Métodos: Os componentes do desenvolvimento psicossexual (IG, PG, OS) foram avaliados usando questionários e por teste psicológico projetivo (HTP - House-Tree-Person). O escore de Sinnecker foi utilizado para a mensuração do grau de virilização da genitália externa. A exposição androgênica pré-natal foi estimada de acordo com a etiologia do DDS 46,XY. Aspectos da vida sexual foram avaliados através de questionário específico.Todas as variáveis categóricas foram analisadas usando teste X². A força de associação foi avaliada pelo cálculo do V de Cramer. O índice kappa foi usado para avaliar concordância entre resultados dos testes. Resultados: Houve uma associação positiva entre exposição androgênica pré-natal e a maior incidência de desfechos psicossexuais masculinos em indivíduos com maior exposição. O grau de virilização da genitália externa não interferiu nos desfechos psicossexuais. Houve uma prevalência de 19% (27/144) de disforia de gênero em toda a coorte. Em 93% (25/27), a DG foi do sexo feminino para o masculino e ocorreu em 50% (16/32) de casos de deficiência de 5alfa-RD2, seguido de 33% (5/15) dos casos de deficiência da 17beta-HSD3 e se associou com exposição androgênica pré-natal (p < 001; V=0,461), mas não com a virilização da genitália externa. A mediana de idade do desejo de mudar de sexo foi de 8 anos (5 - 9) enquanto que a da idade da mudança de sexo foi 15 anos (10.5 - 20). Os desfechos psicossexuais mostraram maior concordância com o sexo social final (PG - k=0.81; IG - k=0.65 e OS - k=0.85) do que com o sexo de registro (PG - k=0.1; IG - k=0.25 e OS - k=0.15). Quanto a sexualidade, alguns parâmetros (fantasias sexuais, masturbação e parceiro sexual fixo) foram melhores no sexo masculino comparado ao feminino. No entanto, não houveram diferenças em relação aos parâmetros da vida sexual comparando indivíduos do sexo feminino com e sem atipia genital e indivíduos do sexo masculino que mantiveram o sexo social com os que mudaram para este sexo. Conclusões: A exposição androgênica pré-natal influenciou o desenvolvimento psicossexual em indivíduos com DDS 46,XY, de uma forma exposição-dependente, favorecendo desfechos masculinos, enquanto que o grau de virilização da genitália externa não influenciou estes desfechos. A DG do feminino para o masculino foi comum entre esses indivíduos e também foi influenciada pela exposição androgênica pré-natal. Os parâmetros psicossexuais nesses pacientes concorda muito mais com o sexo social final do que com o sexo de registro. A sexualidade dos indivíduos do sexo masculino tem aspectos mais satisfatórios que o feminino. Atipia genital no sexo feminino não afetou a sexualidade destas pacientes assim a sexualidade dos indivíduos que mudaram para o sexo masculino são semelhantes aos que foram registrados no sexo masculino Behavioral and Psychosexual Aspects of 46,XY DSD Individuals At Adulthood
Introduction: The human psychosexual development begins at prenatal period and is composed by gender role, gender identity and sexual orientation. In 46,XY DSD individuals a variety of factors may jeopardize an adequate psychosexual development and sometimes results in desire to change the gender. The effects of prenatal androgen exposure and the impact of atypical genitalia in the psychosexual outcomes have been suggested as influencing factors in the human psychosexual development but there is not conclusive evidence, especially in DDS 46, XY. Methods: We evaluated the psychosexual compounds - gender role (GR) at childhood gender identity (GI) and sexual orientation (SO) in individuals a large cohort of 144 46,XY DSD individuals, 86% of them raised in the female social sex, from a single tertiary medical center. The same psychologist, specialized in DSD, performed the psychosexual evaluation. We used a questionnaire and a projective psychological test (HTP test) to measure the psychosexual compounds. Prenatal androgen exposure was estimated considering the 46,XY etiology. Sinnecker\'s score was used to measure the external genitalia virilization. All ordinal variables were analyzed using Wilcoxon test. Categorical variables were analyzed using X2 test with posterior Cramer\'s V to measure the association strength. The kappa index was calculated as a concordance measure. Results: We found an association between prenatal androgen exposure and major prevalence of male psychosexual outcomes and a higher incidence of female to male gender dysphoria. There was not difference in the psychosexual outcomes according by external genitalia virilization in male and in female individuals. There was an incidence of 19% of gender dysphoria (27 out from 144). In 93% (n=25), the gender change was from female to male (F to M). The ethological diagnosis related with F to M GD were 5alpha-RD2 deficiency (5ARD2) in 16/32 (50%), followed by 5/15 (33%) in 17beta-HSD3 deficiency (17betaHSD3). Others diagnosis related with F to M GD were: partial gonadal dysgenesis (n=3/24; 12%) and 3betaHSD2 (n=1/3; 33%). Both cases of male to female (M to F) GD occurred in partial gonadal dysgenesis (8%; n=2/24). The median of GD age (desire to belong to another gender) was 8 years old (5-9), and the median of gender change itself was 15 years old (10.5 - 20). In F to M GD, gender change was associated with prenatal androgen exposure (p < 001; V=0,461). The psychosexual components showed higher concordance index with final gender (GI - k=0.81; GI - k=0.65 and SO - k=0.85) then with the assigned sex (GI - k=0.1; GI - k=0.25 and SO - k=0.15). Conclusion: Prenatal androgen exposure affects the psychosexual development, favoring more male outcomes. This influence was observed in GI, GR and SO. The degree of external genitalia virilization did not influence the psychosexual development. Female to Male GD is common in 46,XY DSD raised in female social sex, especially in 5ARD2 and 17?HSD3 deficiencies. There is a strong relationship between prenatal androgen exposure and F to M GD. On the other hand, M to F gender change was rare in 46,XY DSD and occurred only in partial gonadal dysgenesis patients

This study refers to our literature and qualitative research, developed by the master's program in education at the University of West of Paraná-UNIOESTE, Campus de Francisco Beltrão-PR. We aim to meet as the teachers use the fairy tales in the Municipal early childhood Centres (CMEIs) of our municipality. We have outlined the universe of fairy tales, tracing a panorama of its origin and structure. Within that universe, the writers Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. We support the concepts of myths, fables and fairy tales, emphasizing the particularity of each one, emphasizing the relevance of tales in the education of young children. We used the psychoanalytic theory to discuss the importance of these stories in the psychosexual development of the child. In the empirical literature review-we do the survey of academic-scientific productions that articulated fairy tales, education, Sexual Education, sexuality and Psychoanalysis at the State universities in the State of Paraná. We located twelve (12) universities that have graduate Stricto Sensu. Select, digital collections, seventeen (17) theses and dissertations that addressed our categories of analysis. However, do not reflect exactly our search object, which is the fairy tales in the sexual education of CMEIs. In the field research we collect data in fifteen (15) and we performed CMEIs semi-structured interviews with thirty (30) teachers who work in respective CMEIs. Our purpose was to answer the following question: what are the contributions of fairy tales in sexual education in Francisco Beltrão CMEIs? Anchored in the bibliographical research and field, we identified that the teachers feel bound to perform a job based on Emancipatory sex education, with small children, from the age of fairy tales. Therefore we reaffirm the importance of initial and continuing training, with teachers, early childhood education, about sexuality. In this sense, we present some suggestions for activities that can be used as methodological support, along with the theoretical contribution to work the issues of sexuality, present in early childhood education. Our studies led us to highlight the contributions of psychoanalysis to the field of education, by presenting correlations between fairy tales and the psychosexual development of the young child. Psychoanalytic reading of Bettelheim (2014) highlights that while the fairy tale fun kids, contribute in the construction of personality, because it clarifies important points about child development. We believe that this work has allowed us to extend the look at childhood through a fundamental element for the pedagogical practice, next to small children: fairy tales. Further, the results of our research, points to the need for training in sex education for teachers who are Emancipatory in Kindergarten, in the municipality of CMEIs Francisco Beltrão-PR. This sex education, articulated the psychoanalytic knowledge as possible way of intervention with young children, through fairy tales.
Este estudo se refere a nossa pesquisa, bibliográfica e qualitativa, desenvolvida junto ao Programa de Mestrado em Educação da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná - UNIOESTE, Campus de Francisco Beltrão/PR. Objetivamos conhecer como as professoras utilizam os Contos de Fadas nos Centros Municipais de Educação Infantil (CMEIs) do nosso município. Delineamos o universo dos Contos de Fadas, traçando um panorama de sua origem e estrutura. Dentro desse universo, destacamos os escritores Charles Perrault, Irmãos Grimm e Hans Christian Andersen. Contemplamos os conceitos de mitos, fábulas e contos de fadas, destacando a particularidade de cada um, ressaltando a relevância dos contos na educação das crianças pequenas. Recorremos à teoria psicanalítica para falarmos da importância dessas histórias no desenvolvimento psicossexual da criança. Na revisão empírico-bibliográfica realizamos o levantamento das produções acadêmico-científicas que articulavam Contos de Fadas, Educação, Psicanálise Sexualidade e Educação Sexual, junto às universidades estaduais no Estado do Paraná. Localizamos doze (12) universidades que possuem Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu. Selecionamos, dos acervos digitais, dezessete (17) teses e dissertações que abordavam nossas categorias de análise. No entanto, não refletiam, exatamente, o nosso objeto de pesquisa, que é os contos de fadas na educação sexual dos CMEIs. Na pesquisa de campo coletamos dados nos quinze (15) CMEIs do município e realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas com trinta (30) professoras que atuam nos respectivos CMEIs. Nosso propósito estava em responder à seguinte questão: quais as contribuições dos contos de fadas na educação sexual nos CMEIs de Francisco Beltrão? Ancoradas na pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo, identificamos que as professoras se sentem limitadas para realizar um trabalho fundamentado em Educação Sexual Emancipatória, com as crianças pequenas, a partir dos contos de fadas. Isso nos fez reafirmar a importância de uma formação inicial e continuada, com professores (as), da Educação Infantil, acerca da sexualidade. Nesse sentido, apresentamos algumas sugestões de atividades que podem ser utilizadas como suporte metodológico, juntamente, com o aporte teórico para trabalhar as questões da sexualidade, presentes na educação infantil. Nossos estudos nos levaram a destacar as contribuições da psicanálise para o campo da educação, por apresentar correlações entre os contos de fadas e o desenvolvimento psicossexual da criança pequena. A leitura psicanalítica de Bettelheim (2014) destaca, que ao mesmo tempo em que os contos de fadas divertem as crianças, contribuem na construção da personalidade, pois esclarece pontos importantes sobre o desenvolvimento infantil. Consideramos que esse trabalho nos permitiu ampliar o olhar para a infância, por meio de um elemento fundamental para a prática pedagógica, junto às crianças pequenas: os contos de fadas. Ainda mais, os resultados da nossa pesquisa, apontam para a necessidade de formação em Educação Sexual Emancipatória para as professoras que atuam na Educação Infantil, nos CMEIs do Município de Francisco Beltrão-PR. Educação Sexual esta, articulada aos conhecimentos psicanalíticos como caminho possível de intervenção, junto às crianças pequenas, através dos contos de fadas.

Le développement sexuel repose sur un ensemble de voies de signalisation complexes. Toute perturbation de ces voies peut être responsable de variations du développement sexuel (Differences of Sexual development, DSD), isolée ou syndromique. A ce jour, près de la moitié des patients atteints reste sans diagnostic. L’objectif de ce travail a été d’étudier des foetus porteurs de DSD syndromiques par différentes approches de résolution croissante : caryotype, ACPA (Analyse Chromosomique par Puce à ADN), séquençage haut débit de l’exome en trio, afin d’identifier de nouveau(x) gène(s) ou de nouveau(x) variant(s) responsables de DSD. Dans une cohorte de foetus avec DSD syndromique sans dysgonosomie ou aneuploïdie (chromosomes 13, 18 et 21) au caryotype, l’ACPA a permis un taux diagnostique de 12,2%. Les remaniements chromosomiques de grande taille (>5Mb) représentaient l’étiologie principale du DSD et incluaient des gènes connus pour donner des DSD (DMRT1, NR5A1, NSD2 etc.) mais également des gènes candidats (BARX, CHD4, UBE2S…). Chez les patients sans diagnostic après ces explorations, le séquençage de l’exome en trio a permis d’obtenir un taux diagnostique de 40%. Ces études ont également permis de faire émerger un nouveau variant dans un gène récemment décrit : PBX1:c.320G>A. Pour analyser l’impact de ce variant, un modèle cellulaire knocked-down (KD) pour PBX1 a été généré par technique CRISPRCas9. Ces cellules KD et des cellules sauvages ont été transfectées avec un plasmide codant pour PBX1 sauvage ou mutant. La transfection améliorait la prolifération des deux lignées cellulaires. Le RNA-seq montrait un effet modeste de la protéine mutante sur le transcriptome, néanmoins U2AF1, impliqué dans la machinerie d’épissage, représentait un gène-candidat intéressant pour expliquer le phénotype généré par la protéine PBX1 mutante. Au total, caryotype, ACPA, séquençage de l’exome et modèles cellulaires contribuent à améliorer le diagnostic des patients atteints de DSD
Sexual development relies on complex signaling pathways. Any distruption of them can lead to differences of sexual development (DSD), either isolated or syndromic. To date, the etiology of DSD remains unknown in almost half of the patients. This work aimed at studying fetuses with syndromic DSD through different approaches of growing resolution: karyotype, array-CGH (aCGH), trio whole exome sequencing (WES), in order to identify new genes or new variants responsible from DSD. In a cohort of fetuses presenting with syndromic DSD without aneuploidy (for gonosomes or chromosomes 13, 18 or 21) at standard karyotype, aCGH reached a diagnostic rate of 12.2%. Large chromosomal imbalances (>5Mb) were the most frequent and contained either known DSD genes (DMRT1, NR5A1, NSD2 etc.) but also interesting candidate genes (BARX, CHD4, UBE2S…). In fetuses with normal aCGH, trio WES reached a diagnostic rate of 40%. These studies also helped to find a new variant in a recently described gene: PBX1:c.320G>A. To analyze the impact of this variant, a cellular model knowked-down (KD) for PBX1 was generated through CRISPR-Cas9 technology. These KD cells and wildtype (WT) cells were transfected using plasmids coding for either WT PBX1 or mutant PBX1 protein. Transfection improved cell proliferation for both cell lines. RNAseq analyses showed only a modest effect of the mutant protein on transcriptome. However, U2AF1, a gene coding for a protein of the splicing machinery, represented an interesting candidate to explain the phenotype of the patient. To conclude, karyotype, aCGH, WES and cellular models helped to enhance diagnosis success for DSD patients

The phenomenon of serial killers is increasing world wide. During the past decade the most memorable cases of serial homicide in South Africa have been those of the "Norwood serial killer", the "Station Strangler", the "Cleveland serial killer", "The Gaunteng serial killer" and the "St Charles serial killer". The enigma surrounding serial killers is the so-called "lack of motive'' for the murders. No extrinsic motive such as robbery, financial gain, revenge or passion exists as there usually would be in the case of other murders. The available literature indicates that several theories have been proposed to explain the origin of serial homicide, but none can explain sufficiently to the author why one person with a certain type of background and exposed to a certain environment becomes a serial killer, whilst another, with a similar background and circumstances does not. The theories that are discussed are the socio-cultural factors, Ressler's motivational model, systemic factors, demonic possession, neurological factors, psychogenic factors and fantasy. In this thesis the author attempts to answer the question "What is the origin of serial homicide" by applying selected aspects of the psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Melanie Klein on two case studies of South African serial killers. The author formulates twenty nine statements of her own, based on the theories of Freud and Klein which she applies to the two case studies. The cases of the "Station Strangler" in Mitchell's Plain, Cape province, and the "St Charles serial killer" in Donnybrook, KwaZulu Natal are selected. Both of these serial killers are organized in their modus operandi, but the "Station Strangler" is a ego-dystonic killer and the "St Charles serial killer" a ego-syntonic serial killer. The method of research is a qualitative case study method. The author divides the selected aspects of Freud and Klein's theories into categories and analyses the two cases presented according to these categories. In the final chapter she draws maps to illustrate the psychoanalytical developmental paths of serial killers in general and for each of the two cases. Multiple data sources are used for example interviews with the serial killers and their families, police dockets, court proceedings and psychiatric records. Multiple data sources, explanation building and replication by way of multiple case studies are employed to ensure construct validity, internal validity and external validity respectively. Reliability is supported by entering the data in a South African Police Service data base. In conclusion the author compares the differences and similarities between the two case studies, and discusses the statements which are supported by this research. She also recommends that those statements which are not supported, be discussed in consecutive case studies. The statements are generalized to all serial killers.

The purpose of this research is to explore individual behaviour towards authority. The psychodynamic and phenomenological paradigms are used. Unstructured interviews, conducted on five female consultants, produced themes that provide possible insight into individual behaviour towards authority. These themes were; 'daddy and mommy's little girl', need for attention, approval, to not disappoint and sibling rivalry; anxiety and the use of defense mechanisms; conditions for acceptance and/or comfort; dependency for support; clear and/or rigid boundaries; split in experience towards authority; fear of authority; power struggle; and counterdependency. These themes suggest that individual's project and transfer feelings, fantasies, expectations and wishes of their experiences with their parents, their earliest authority figures, onto other authority figures, for example, their managers. The hypothesis generated was "past experiences with authority figures influences individual experiences and hence behaviour towards present authority figures".

The research is an analysis of the psychosexual development process of a mentally retarded male youth, who lives in settlement and education institute. The research used psychodynamic therapy and qualitative research as research methods. The researcher her own was a Counseling Psychologist. Considering the client’s cognitive and communication skills, the research used Melanie Klein’s “play box” method, to communicate with the client through using tools like painting tools, small objects, colored paper, mood pad and more to help the client to express his inner feelings. The researcher reordered client’s behaviors, researcher’s personal reflection, and supervisor’s feedback after each session. The researcher also discussed with client’s primary caregivers and gave feedback to them. (The caregivers included the teachers in the settlement and education institute, social workers, and schoolteachers). The whole process included 55 psychodynamic therapies and the other includes 37 personal supervisions and can be divided into two stages. According to the analysis and coding data, the main issues of the client focused on the relationship between the counseling psychologist and the client. This was the key for his treatment and could be divided into four periods: pushing, separatism, containing and internalization. Affected by the impacts of the events and issues, the relationship between the counseling psychologist and the client is like a spiral relationship. The treatment focused on handling the client’s childhood trauma of being abandoned by his mother. The counseling psychologist contained the client’s inner attacks, helping him to improve his communication skills and his fixation attack and defense behaviors in the psychodynamic therapy. In the early stage of the psychosexual developing treatment of the client, his mind was as closed as a flawless egg. He excluded any messages and people, and had long history to rely on external objects to assist his communication to outside world. His concept of boundary was weak and he also had low self-esteem. When he faced difficulties, he would choose to sleep to escape of facing the problems. In the treatment, he often expressed the characters came from unsatisfied oral stage and the overly repressed anal stage. After the counseling psychologist contained the client’s emotion and applied projective identification, the client had experienced even if he repeatedly attacked the counseling psychologist emotionally, the relationship was still able to repeatedly repaired. He had the real experience with the emotions of love and guilt. It would help the client to elasticity changed his position between "paranoid-schizoid position" and "depressive position". According to the results of this study and the characteristics of psychodynamic therapy, it is recommended that future researchers, other caregivers and related professionals with established teams to cooperate with each other. Counseling psychologist especially should have personal counseling and supervision during the process and after if needed. The counseling psychologist should use calendar securely treatment to establish a stable framework. Considering the cognitive abilities and the needs of communication of a mental retardation client, it is recommended to provide emotional vocabulary pictures, objects, drawing tools, and other media to help the client to express his/her inner feelings, and provide follow-up support treatment.

O presente trabalho procura abordar a fase de latência com foco na evolução das imagos parentais ao longo desta. A latência é enquadrada no desenvolvimento psicossexual da criança, sendo abordadas as imagos parentais interligadas com as problemáticas ao longo deste desenvolvimento. O estudo recolheu o material de análise numa população de seis anos e numa de onze anos, de forma a se obter dados de análise do início e final desta fase. Os dados foram obtidos através dos protocolos do C.A.T., da criação de um herói num Desenho coletivo e de uma entrevista individual sobre este Desenho. Os objetivos do estudo prendem-se em observar as imago no início e final da fase de latência e interligar estes dados com o que pode representar esta figura idealizada de herói ou ídolo.
ABSTRACT------ This paper discusses the latency phase with na enfasis on the evolution of parental imagos along this phase. Latency is framed in the psychosexual development of the child, and parental imagos ate intertwined with the problem throughout this development. The study collected the material for analysis in a population of six and a eleven years in order to collect analysis data from the beginning and end of this phase. The data were obtained from the C.A.T. protocols, from the creation of a hero in a collective Drawing and an individual interview on this Drawing. The objective is to relate the imagos in the beginning and end of the latency phase and to link these data with what this idealized figure of a hero or Idol can represent.

Employing both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, my dissertation project involved three phases aimed at examining women’s sexual selfviews. The primary aim of this research was to develop a comprehensive and multifaceted self-report measure of women’s sexual self-views. Phase 1 began the investigation of women’s sexual self-views through open-ended questions posed during qualitative interviews with a diverse sample of women varying among many demographic variables. The initial selection of items of the Women’s Sexual Self-Views (WSSV) scale were derived from the transcripts of Phase 1 interviews. Phase 2 focused on the development of a valid instrument intended to tap the construct of women’s sexual self-views and examined its association to potentially relevant variables, including sexual functioning status. Results from factor analyses highlighted discrete factors of women’s sexual self-views which were labeled as: Positive Sexual Self-Views (12 items), Negative Internal/Affective Sexual Self-Views (6 items), Negative External/ Behavioral Sexual Self-Views (5 items), Interpersonally-Relevant Sexual Self-Views (6 items), and Conservative Sexual Self-Views (5 items). The final version of the WSSV scale is a brief, 34-item measure of sexual self-views. Psychometric evaluation of the WSSV scale provided preliminary evidence of reliability and validity. The ability of the WSSV scale to differentiate between women with and without sexual concerns was demonstrated for the Positive Sexual Self-Views domain and the Negative Internal/ Affective Sexual Self-Views domain. That is, women with sexually difficulties had lower Positive Sexual Self-Views and higher Negative Internal/ Affective Sexual Self-Views as compared to sexually healthy controls. Phase 3 investigated the relationship between sexual self-views and memory for sexual information. Results provided initial evidence that participants performed better on sexually-relevant memory tasks which were consistent with their sexual self-views. I believe that the following study provides a deeper understanding of the cognitive factors involved in female sexual functioning and begins to provide a framework for understanding the role of memory in women’s sexuality.

Young women’s sexual attitudes, experiences, and sense of self develop within multiple social contexts, including the schools in which they spend so much of their time, their romantic and sexual relationships, and a larger normative climate of expectations and beliefs about sexuality. Girls may struggle to develop a healthy view of their sexuality in the face of prevailing sexual beliefs that in many ways deny girls’ sexual desire and define female sexuality as passive and vulnerable. Despite these negative messages, however, many girls do develop positive attitudes about their sexuality, feeling entitled to sexual pleasure and safety. This study explores how young women develop this sense of sexual agency during adolescence and the transition to adulthood. Using longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, I place adolescent sexual development in a social context, by considering the role of schools and early sexual relationships in young women’s developing sexual agency. Additionally, I consider the consequences of girls’ sexual attitudes and first sexual experiences not only for their sexual health but for their later sexual relationships as well. Finally, I consider how young women’s experience of sexual agency may be connected to another manifestation of gender inequality in relationships - housework. Findings suggest that girls’ attitudes toward sex and contraception are related to their sexual relationships in adulthood: girls who see sex as having negative consequences - either for their social relationships, their sense of self, or their future - are less likely to experience sexual agency in their adult relationships. Results also suggest that schools may play contradictory roles in girls’ sexual empowerment, as girls who do well in school were more confident about their ability to use contraception but were also more likely to associate sex with guilt and shame. Additionally, schools provide a peer context for the development of sexual attitudes. Finally, results suggest that explanations for gender inequality in housework are less relevant for sexual behavior, though women and men who are committed to equality in their relationships are likely to be more egalitarian in both housework and sex.
