"Containing the uncontainable": the return of the phantom and its reconfiguration in ethnonational conflict resolution.

A phenomenologically informed psychoanalytic praxis for framing and conducting ethnonational conflict resolution in fractured communities is presented. When conducted with care, it begins with the polarization of each side in the conflict and continues into a second phase where the antagonism changes into the negotiation of paradox, irony and multiplicity of positions. Third, the crossing of mental borders with trepidation follows.

The effort to separate in a pubertal Mormon convert: a terminal profile.

The use of psychoanalytic profile to observe psychopathology in a pubertal boy is illustrated.

The profile attempts to demonstrate with clinical material how very important it is to observe a complex network of both conscious and unconscious phenomena to get a deeper and broader understanding of a pubertal boy's struggles.
