New dynamic for dynamic Psychology
ABSTRACT
The adjective “dynamic”, today associated with the substantive “psychology” to mean psychoanalysis, it was first used in the second half of the 1800 in different fields, from philosophy to neuro-psychiatry, with many and different meanings: for example to differentiate physiological and anatomical aspects, functional from organic, regressive state from the actual one, meaning the energetic levels in the same time.
In classical psychoanalysis the dynamism is first of all a conflictual one, involving impulses and psychic instances causing the onset of conflicts and resistance, other terms typical of psychoanalytic culture in the beginning.
In the mean time with the decline of the reliability of classical psychodynamic theories, different forms of dynamic comparing polarity have been considered, for example those referring to therapist’s “attention” and “inattention” in the setting: to assume the quality of therapist’s attention as an indicator of the quality of the therapist itself leads the psychoanalytic practice to meet Dharma psychology, which invites to monitor the tendency to absent-mindedness and to mind proliferation promoting a firm attention in the present time through exercises of mindfulness.
