Nostalgia: A Lost Place for the Reviviscence of the Primary Object-A Contribution to the Psychoanalytic Study of Some Clinical Aspects of Nostalgia.

72-74, Pontou str. 17672 Athens, Greece.
In its attempt to revive the past, the nostalgic illusion tries to re-establish the relationship with the primary object, avoiding, in this way, the mourning of separation from it. Through two clinical cases, different aspects of nostalgia could be defined. One of these aspects is described as the subject's endeavor to take a drive revenge against a past that "won't go away": here, nostalgia acquires a compulsive character and comes as a response to early anxieties concerning the subject's existence itself, reflecting deficits of primary narcissism, and thus an affinity with an unreachable ideal ego.

Extending the traditional view of the giant of ancient myth as the personification of the father, the giant also affords the metaphorical elaboration of infantile fantasies of grandiosity derived from identification with the omnipotent parent. Conversely, the fallen and typically blinded giant embodies : with the idealised parental imago, and also with one's own illusions of omnipotence. Nicolas Poussin's successive aesthetic interpretations of the giants of Greek legend highlight the symbolic dialectics of size, and offer a window onto the illusions and disillusionments that are intrinsic to generational succession, and accompany the confrontation of various realities-of dependency, vulnerability, maturation, achievement, aging, loss and death.

Purpose Of Review: The study describes the clinical phenomenology and contemporary pathophysiology of concurrent oscillations of the eyes and the head that are present in neurological conditions with diverse causes.
Recent Findings: One classic example is spasmus nutans in which the eye oscillations are the primary cause, whereas head nodding is thought to be an operant conditional response that suppresses the eye oscillations to facilitate clear vision. The second example is a combination of head tremor and inadequate compensatory eye movements because of vestibular hypofunction leading to the illusion of pendular nystagmus - hence, the condition is called pseudonystagmus.

Purpose: We examined factors influencing perceptual stability in observers with fusion maldevelopment nystagmus syndrome (FMNS). In addition, we also investigated the effect of visual demand, task-related physiologic stress, and motivation on the nystagmus waveform.
Methods: Perception of oscillopsia during daily activities was assessed via a questionnaire.
