A decision-making process that is sometimes little thought out or, on the contrary, long awaited and maturated in order to overcome, to forget the repetitive imprint of an unattractive or uninspiring daily life, not training, without fortifying the self, boring or conflicting daily life, while time flies. The aim could be also to fortify, to transfigure an experience and reinforce, even recreate and I, an existing narcissistically more consistent, an EGO in conformity with another Self-conception, according to aspirations not always clearly represented or defined or even secret, almost subconscious by certain people... really defined by others [1].

Lexically, deep state means an alleged underground network of mainly unelected government bureaucrats, or powerful members of government organizations, services or secret agencies, and sometimes private units (as in the defense industries and economic services), who are operating covertly or extra-legally to influence, manipulate, and enact government strategy [1,2]. The power of the deep state originates from traditions, insight, special skills, experience, knowledge, craft, relationships, and communal principles. Together, these supposed characteristics make anonymous officeholders into a super-government that is answerable to no one [1]. In general usage, the term “deep state” conveys evil implications. “State within a state” and “shadow government” are other parallel conceptions. The aim of a deep state can co..... ReadMore

Background: There is a scarcity of research investigating the implementation and outcomes of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in a forensic psychiatric inpatient setting serving adults. This study describes a DBT program for chronically mentally ill patients on an all-female residential treatment unit in the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH). Methods: We describe program components, basic demographics of the DBT participants including their mental health diagnosis, frequency of aggressive incidents toward self and others, and response type following aggressive incidents. In addition, we examined number of classes of medications administered to DBT participants. Descriptive statistics were used to describe differences in outcome measures pre-DBT, during DBT, versus post-DBT ..... ReadMore

Identification requirements in modern societies seems primordial, including some-times the necessity of affirmation of it by password. The differentiation and the strength of the Self are obvious. A question appears: Does Oedipial Conflict remains central in the Psychic constitution and evolution. The contribution of the theorizations of Melanie KLEIN and of her epigones appears congruent with the notion of Impact during the first years of original fantasies/phantasmatic feelings (even ideation) and also with the Realistic Function. The recognition of Borderline psychopathology has been accentuated by KO-HUT (1971) on the basis of a conceptualization of neurotic condition in terms of transference neurosis [1]. M. GRESSOT believes that neurotic lack of the severity of ego damage and the in coordinated polymorphism of symp..... ReadMore
