Determining Jealousy in Young Adults

by | posted in: Archive, Number 3, Social sciences, Volume 5 | 0

Jealousy represents a complex psychological phenomenon with a significant impact on an individual’s emotional and relational functioning, being considered a relevant indicator of personality organization. Beyond its immediate affective dimension, jealousy reflects the way early relational experiences, attachment styles, defensive mechanisms, and emotional regulation processes interact within the individual’s psychic structure. Persistent and maladaptive manifestations of jealousy may indicate structural vulnerabilities and difficulties in affective integration, whereas transient and adaptive forms are associated with secure attachment and mature defensive mechanisms. In this context, the analysis of jealousy provides an important perspective on personality organization and contributes to the development of psychotherapeutic interventions focused on mentalization, emotional regulation, and the strengthening of mature defense mechanisms.

Free Association Between the Promise of Honesty and the Practice of Self-Disclosure: A Re-Evaluation of the Fundamental Rule in Psychoanalytic Therapies

by | posted in: Archive, Natural sciences, Number 3, Volume 5 | 0

This article undertakes a systematic re-evaluation of the conceptual and clinical distinction between the fundamental rule of psychoanalysis—an ethical commitment to honesty—and the technique of free association. It argues that their persistent conflation in psychoanalytic literature has engendered a critical ‘technical reductionism’, obscuring the relational-ethical foundation upon which transformative therapeutic work depends. The primary objectives are to: (1) establish a clear conceptual demarcation between the rule as a moral pact and association as a verbal practice; (2) critically analyse how classical reference works have perpetuated this confusion; (3) re-centre the fundamental rule as the indispensable ethical condition for analytic work; and (4) delineate the clinical implications of this recovery for contemporary practice, training, and theory.

The Vrancea Seismic Cycle Revisited: A Double-Percolation Framework and Vertical Stress Resetting at Intermediate Depths

by | posted in: Archive, Natural sciences, Number 2, Volume 5 | 0

The Vrancea seismic zone represents a unique case of concentrated intermediate-depth seismicity in Europe, characterized by recurrent large earthquakes occurring within a narrow subcrustal volume between approximately 70 and 180 km depth. Observational studies indicate that seismic activity is confined to a small, nearly vertical seismogenic body, commonly interpreted as a remnant subducted slab or a delaminated lithospheric fragment. Seismic catalog analyses further reveal the presence of two depth-separated active segments, centered around 90 km and 140 km, which appear to participate alternately in the seismic cycle. In addition, independent investigations document a depth-dependent stress regime, with evidence for vertical extension in the 100-130 km depth range, as well as a correlation between intermediate-depth seismicity and dehydration reactions in hydrous minerals.
