Summary: This article describes how hard ideologies can function as autistic, fetishistic, shell-like objects that block communication and alleviate deep anxieties, while attacking both the patient's and analyst's sanity and creating a state of nowhere-ness. These ideologies operate in small, unnoticed ways and when accumulated, cause confusion and paralysis, making one an indifferent accomplice to internal and external horrors. Those who adhere to these ideologies often suffer from an imbalance between psychotic and non-psychotic parts of their personality, as well as a deep sense of nowhere-ness, leading to rigid preoccupation with protection of home, national borders, and identity.

Summary: "Since Jung's death, scholars have been trying to incorporate biological science data into Jungian concepts. However, the false dichotomies of gene and environment have made this task challenging. Recent works by Roesler have raised objections to the biological theory of archetypes, but they are hindered by these dichotomies. The concept of phenotypic plasticity, on the other hand, offers a solution to this problem and helps create a more integrated model."

Summary: This article demonstrates two microanalytical approaches in linguistic psychotherapy research, focusing on the content and linguistic features of a therapy session sequence. The results show that verbal techniques such as adding new meaning and repeating were frequently used, with the thematic focus on the father and the therapist. Conversation analysis reveals that the shift to the experiential level brings the therapy situation itself into focus.
