Abstract
|
|
|
This thesis presents clinical basis for Freud¡¯s brief thought for outer space - the projection of an extension of a psychical apparatus (A case is a conversion disorder patiet admitted to a closed ward). The environment of the closed ward caused rapid regression. As a result, unconscious contents were projected into the space. Projectiles floating in the closed space were attached to suitable targets-transference-and the space was changed to a transition period. In early projections, the position of ego was weak due to a strong combination of the id and the harsh superego. However, the ego was expanded through a long therapeutic process. These changes were found in the reduction of A¡¯s conversion symptoms, the subjective pressure of the space, and the change in color selection for the space. The insight that the ¡®space surrounding an individual¡¯ exists as unconscious memories, fantasies, and psychological structures will present an important perspective in clinical practice of psychoanalysis and various humanities related to space.
