Abstract
- Fragmented narratives, half-phrases, silences, and affect states that populate the consulting room can be understood through Jung's notion of the prospective function. These halting affect-laden phrases reveal the taboo around psychological integration in a certain population. Using Carl Jung, Donald Winnicott, Ann Ulanov, and James Grostein, this article analyzes the space of not-knowing or, said another way, of knowing from another source, a source for which the location is found in the void and emerges through desire. I term this knowing from another source yonic knowing. In this article, I discuss the current "epidemic" of those being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in relation to the prospective function of fragmentation, arguing for a new kind of consciousness found within these dissociated states of being that emerges through the void [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
