Discussion of Joye Weisel-Barth's “Case of Emily”

Pages 519-525 | Published online: 14 Sep 2012
 

Abstract

This discussion underscores and expands on the use of complex systems theory concepts to discuss the presentation of the case of Emily, a “good” patient. Using various vignettes from the case, the author illustrates the utility of using both constructions of a single experiential moment, as well as the explanatory concepts of nonlinear dynamic systems theory, to understand and guide deep analytic work.

Esta discusión pone de relieve y expande el uso de los conceptos de la teoría de sistemas complejos para examinar la presentación del caso de Emily, una “buena” paciente. Utilizando varias viñetas del caso, la autora ilustra la utilidad de usar construcciones de un solo momento experiencial, así como los conceptos explicativos de la teoría de sistemas dinámicos no lineales para entender y guiar el trabajo analítico profundo.

Cette discussion souligne et élargit l'utilisation des concepts de la théorie des systèmes complexes pour analyser la présentation du cas d'Emily, une “bonne” patiente. Utilisant quelques-unes des vignettes du cas, l'auteur illustre la pertinence d'utiliser à la fois des constructions d'un moment expérientiel unique, et les concepts explicatifs de la théorie des systèmes dynamiques non-linéaires, pour comprendre et guider le travail analytique en profondeur.

Questa discussione evidenzia ed amplia l'uso dei concetti della teoria dei sistemi complessi per approfondire la presentazione del caso di Emily, una “buona” paziente. Usando alcune situazioni tratte dal caso presentato, l'autrice illustra l'efficacia dell'utilizzo sia delle costruzioni di un singolo momento esperienziale, sia dei concetti esplicativi della teoria dei sistemi dinamici non-lineari per comprendere e orientare il profondo lavoro analitico.

Diese Diskussion unterstreicht und erweitert den Gebrauch von Konzepten einer ,,complex systems theory“ für die Falldarstellung Emily, einer ,,guten“ Patientin. Indem sie verschiedene Vignetten des Falles verwendet, illustriert die Autorin die Nützlichkeit des Gebrauchs sowohl von Konstruktionen eines einzelnen erlebten Moments, als auch der erklärenden Konzepte der ,,nonlinearen dynamischen systems theory“, um tiefe analytische Arbeit zu verstehen und zu führen.
