Manic protection. Atanassiu-Popesk Cleopatra

In the classical psychoanalytic tradition, Cleopatra Atanassi - Popesko describes in detail the case of psychoanalytic treatment of a child with manic protection.

In her book, she analyzes what makes manic protection so difficult for a psychoanalyst. Dr. Atanassui - Popesko puts forward a hypothesis about the existence of a “solid mental nucleus”, through a kind of “shell” making manic madness inaccessible to any kind of communication and offers a method of working with such a pathology, consisting in the psychoanalyst of constant balance on the “swing” of transfer and counter - transfer.
