  • Title: Balint after Lacan ... and after.
    Author: Mélèse L.
    Journal: Am J Psychoanal; 2002 Mar; 62(1):65-81. PubMed ID: 11928655.
    Abstract:
    This paper examines Balint and Lacan's views about regression and symbolism, language, and transference. The author points out their similarities, their differences, and then proposes a synthesis through his approach of history, genealogy, trauma, and crisis. Freud's notions of masochism, of fixation (innate or phylogenetic) may thus be renewed, leading to the analyst's capacity to cope with deep regression and borderline (Balint) psychosis and perversion (Lacan) or to psychosomatics, including epilepsy.
