[Abstract: Didier Anzieu's "Skin-Ego" is a new psychoanalytic concept coming
from the "Ego" of Freud's own writings. In reality, it is a fantasy which
,according to Anzieu, is even a "vast metaphor". A concept based on a metaphor
necessarily implies the comparison of two different objects. The primitive
sigificances imply biology, psychology, Greek mythology, prehistoric art, and
the New Testament. Unfortunately, Anzieu's knowledge of these subjects is
limited, sometimes completely wrong, or skimpy in the extreme. In the end, the
"Skin-Ego" is merely a vast play upon words. Nonetheless, the essential interest
of this work is to show –once again?– the fundamental mystical nature of the
experience of psychoanalysis.]

5-The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice
http://www.srmhp.org/
The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice is
edited by Scott O. Lilienfeld, Ph.D., of Emory University. The Scientific Review
of Mental Health Practice (SRMHP) is the only peer-reviewed journal devoted
exclusively to distinguishing scientifically supported claims from
scientifically unsupported claims in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social
work, and allied disciplines. It applies the best tools of science and reason to
objectively evaluate novel, controversial, and untested mental health claims.
Our purview includes claims regarding the efficacy of psychotherapies and
self-enhancement methods, the validity of assessment instruments, and the
scientific evidence for psychiatric diagnoses. We will reject no claims out of
hand or prior to scientific scrutiny, although we will subject all claims to
careful investigation and analysis. Its publication has been endorsed by the
Commission for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health,
a panel that includes prominent psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers,
and Nobel prizewinners.

The distinguished Harvard psychiatrist, Harrison G. Pope, Jr.,
and a team of fellow scholars, including literary historians, have conducted a
well-designed and wide-ranging series of enquiries into the history and
provenance of Repression or "dissociative amnesia". In a paper which the
Canadian Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Western Ontario,
Harold Merskey, reckons to be one of the most important psychiatric papers to
appear in recent years, it is clearly demonstrated that Repression in the
Freudian sense is not a culture-free medical symptom, but rather a time- &
culture-bound concept which does not appear in Literature before the rise of the
Romantic movement in 19th Century Europe:
