In this study, the analysis of the ghazal with “duymasın” repeated voice in the divan of Yenişehirli Avnî, one of the important poets of the 19th century in Classical Turkish Literature, has been subject within the framework of psychoanalytic literary theory. In the study, which was carried out independently of traditional commentary methods, the aforementioned ghazal was examined by considering two different perspectives within the framework of “viewing the work from the artist within the framework of psychoanalytic literary theory” and “viewing the artist from the work within the framework of psychoanalytic literary theory.” As a result of the examination, the reflections of the elements known to us about the life of the poet in Avnî’s ghazal with the “duymasın” repeated voice and the elements we have determined about the poet based on the ghazal in question have been revealed. In this context, the “reflections of the poet’s stuttering in the ghazal”, “reflections of the poet’s bodily weakness in the ghazal”, “reflections of the desire to escape from oneself/numbness in the ghazal”, “reflections of contradictions and paradoxes in the ghazal” and “reflections of the fear of death in the ghazal” were determined and examined under the aforementioned titles by exemplifying. As a result, it is thought that this study will contribute to the field of Old Turkish Literature in terms of determining and evaluating the reflection of the elements of divan literature poets' lives on their poems within the framework of psychoanalytic literature theory and the method followed in this study.

According to psychoanalytic theory, the quality of early object relations is of great importance in the construction of the psyche. The dominant psychoanalytic view is that childhood frustrations, emotional neglect and problems related to the separationindividuation process are effective in the development of eating disorders. Psychoanalytic theories have always stressed out the relationship between eating, dreaming and the psychic processes. From this point of view, the present article aimed to examine the effects of problematic early object relations on eating disorders. Based upon the theories of Winnicott and Bion, the main focus of this study was to investigate night eating syndrome accompanied by sleep problems. In this context, the psychic processes of an obese female client with night eating syndrome were examined through two projective tests. After the psychoanalytically informed clinical interviews, the Rorschach and Thematic Perception Test were applied, respectively. Information obtained through semi-structured clinical interviews and application of projective tests were evaluated by adhering to the content analysis method of the French School. In addition, the relationship between the client's psychic processes and the inability to dream was interpreted on the basis of psychoanalytic theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social media is a medium that removes time and space limitations. It has gained popularity over the last two decades, especially among young adults. With the growing popularity of social media, researchers have turned their attention to study social media addiction, which is a new type of addiction. Although addiction is generally associated with legal problems and rule violations in quantitative research, the qualitative research on this subject is limited. The aim of this study was to contribute to the literature through elaborating the experiences of social media addicts related to rules and boundaries. For this purpose, the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which is a qualitative research method, was chosen. Accordingly, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants. The obtained data were analyzed in accordance with IPA guidelines. As a result of the analysis, two themes emerged: (1) social media as a medium of limitlessness and (2) positioning with respect to the authority figures. Emergent themes were discussed within the framework of Lacanian Psychoanalytic theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The act of leaving the parental home, as an integral part of this developmental period, has important impacts on the individuation process in late adolescence. The aim of this study was to obtain information about the relationship between depression and the separation-individuation process during late adolescence. Besides, the relationship between separation-individuation process and the discourses on leaving the parental home were also evaluated within the scope of current research. The study was carried out with a total of 34 volunteer participants, 17 women and 17 men, who were diagnosed with depression and aged between 19-25. After psychoanalytical interviews, Rorschach Test and Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) were applied. The applied materials were interpreted with content analysis peculiar to French School. Results of the content analyses revealed that late adolescents who were diagnosed with depression, had symbiotic relationships and experienced. difficulties while separating from the object. It was observed that narcissistic failure led to depressive affect and challenges in leaving the parental home. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to provide a psychoanalytic perspective to the first feature film, Les Quatre Cents Coups, which was shot in 1959 by François Truffaut, one of the most important representatives of the New Wave movement.

In this context, the effects of problematic early object relations on conflicts of adolescence were discussed. Besides, Les Quatre Cents Coups is a semiautobiographical movie. Therefore, following Antoine Doinel's analysis, the life history of the director François Truffaut was explained. From this point of view, the relationship between adolescence and creativity was examined and the foundation of Truffaut's creative work was interpreted on the basis of psychoanalytic theory.

Horror films aim to create fear in the audience by embodying people's unconscious anxieties within the society and period they are presented. Yet, various techniques and technologies are used to blur the boundary between real and reality in the audience to make this created effect feel like a veritable experience. So, despite they handle their most basic anxieties in such a veritable way, what are the factors that make these movies attractive for many people? Within the framework of this question, this study aimed to examine the unconscious representations of horror movies on the audience based on Lacanian Psychoanalysis through presenting a psychoanalytic view of horror cinema. In this context, first of all, how the horror movies emerged and what kind of changes they have shown or not until today were examined. Afterward, Psychoanalytic Film Theory, which is a significant point in forming the basis of the study, and the transformation it underwent with the contributions of Lacan were mentioned. Besides, the Mirror Theory and the concept of the gaze were examined, emphasizing their importance in terms of the theory. Subsequently, the concepts of gaze, uncanny, passion for ignorance, and phantasm were discussed to examine the unconscious representations of horror films on the audience. In the last part, scenes taken from horror movies were analyzed as an example in line with the concepts that were discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
