盆腔炎性疾病与不孕不育

盆腔炎性疾病(pelvic inflammatory disease,PID)是常见的妇科疾病,且迁延难愈.同时,盆腔炎(PID)发病率增高与性传播疾病(STD)发病人数增多相平行.这些可以引起一系列临床症状,统称为盆腔炎性疾病后遗症(sequelae of PID).除了长期慢性疼痛、月经不调、盆腔炎性疾病反复发作外,严重的还会影响女性的生育功能,导致不孕症或异位妊娠.此外,盆腔炎对于IVF-ET的成功率也存在一定的影响.     

Thinking individuation forward

This paper extends Jung's theory of individuation as faithfully elaborated by Joseph L. Henderson in his authoritative book Thresholds of Initiation. It addresses analyses that continue over very many years with analysands said to be individuated and proposes psychodynamics that explain and support such work that is otherwise beyond formal theoretical justification. In so doing, the paper addresses both Jung's and Henderson's refusal to explore the relevance of metaphysics for psychology and offers both a theoretical corrective for this shortcoming and a clinical illustration in support of an expanded point of view. In the course of the paper, personal material from interviews with Dr. Henderson, aged 101, serve as a substrate, both to support the above considerations and to shed new light on the development of his thought that led to Thresholds of Initiation.
