Freud wrote about ambivalence toward the mother as the origin of the emotion of hate. Hate and love are experienced by all. Hate is aroused initially by the experience of being fed when breast feeding was once the almost sole method of nurturing the infant. Satisfaction is always temporary and deprivation is a given for all of us from the very beginning of life. This mix of satisfac- tion and frustration is played out at all phases of life, but is hardest to bear during the earliest. Caregivers control the instinctual de- sires of the infant. Obviously the emotion of hate is mostly antisocial. The ex- ception would be hating Hitler, Nazis, ISIS, killers, and such. However, experiencing hatred toward a loved one is filled with conflict and not often openly expressed. When working with patients in my psychoanalytic practice this issue is a common struggle. A shy grown man was on a crowd- ed train standing opposite an attractive woman. He was thrilled to be close to her and shyly eyed her. A man got on the train and stood in front of my patient, blocking his view of the woman. He became furiously angry at the man and fantasied that the man would have a heart attack, fall down, and he then could see the woman again. His hateful fantasy was readily interpreted as it re- lated to competitive feeling toward an older brother. The same patient dreamed that he had enormous power. He was given a contraption handed him by Donald Trump. It had a button, and if he pushed it all Muslims in the world would die. He was contemplating what to do when he suddenly woke up. He was embarrassed to tell me the dream. He also stated he was a secret admirer of Trump. He thought Trump stated and stood for all the ugly, hateful thoughts that many people have but never admit. He jokingly said that if he actually had control of the button he would never use it. Again, free association led to his powerful older brother who he idealized and secretly hated. In these examples ha- Page 226 Clio’s Psyche tred and jealousy of the brother are initially buried and slowly un- folded during treatment. Idealization itself is a mixed bag. It is such an extreme emotion that it hides all negative feelings. In psychoanalysis some patients tend to idealize the analyst. When this is slowly and care- fully analyzed the underlying opposite emotion will be revealed. Hatred not expressed and unconscious can lead to a maso- chistic lifestyle. The extreme of this process is suicidal thoughts or actual suicide. Freud labeled suicide as the symbolic murder of an incorporated family member and/or spouse. Suicide leads to the terrible suffering of all those close to the person acting this out. There is sometimes an actual awareness by the suicidal person of the hateful misery resulting from the awful act of self-destruction. In the West, ISIS is considered the worst purveyor of hate today. Killing innocent people and feeling justified is an affront to humanity. Their hatred and control of women is striking. Recently in Syria a woman was arrested for wearing clothing which was form-fitting and revealed her bodily curves. She was whipped, re- ceiving 25 lashes. When her veil was removed, makeup was dis- covered and she received an extra five lashes. This raises the issue of some of the sources of hatred in some Arab societies. The Qur’an states that newborns should be breastfed for two years. In discussion with Muslim colleagues they reported that most Arab countries have gotten away from that requirement. Two years of breast feeding may well lead to a sense of control over the mother. Often breastfeeding ceases when pain is inflicted by the infant biting on the nipple. I wonder if prolonged breastfeeding could be a factor in control and consequent hatred of women by ISIS. Slowly but surely women are becoming more liberated. For the first time in Saudi Arabia women just voted in a general elec- tion. Hatred is an underlying issue among certain diagnostic cate- gories, with paranoid people being a prime example. They deny and project onto others thoughts and feelings that they repress and attribute to others. For example, blacks in America were seen as dirty, promiscuous, pushy, etc., and in some cases still are. Preju- dice was, among other reasons, a convenient albeit unconscious style of relieving the hater of his own unacceptable thoughts and instincts. Hatred can lead to a temporary peace of mind.

  • Las Aportaciones Al Cine De Steven Spielberg Son Múltiples, Pero Sobresale Como Director Y Como Productor
    Steven Spielberg Las aportaciones al cine de Steven Spielberg son múltiples, pero sobresale como director y como productor. La labor de un productor de cine puede conllevar cierto control sobre las diversas atribuciones de una película, pero a menudo es poco más que aportar el dinero y los medios que la hacen posible sin entrar mucho en los aspectos creativos de la misma como el guión o la dirección. Es por este motivo que no me voy a detener en la tarea de Spielberg como productor más allá de señalar sus dos productoras de cine y algunas de sus producciones o coproducciones a modo de ejemplo, para complementar el vistazo a la enorme influencia de Spielberg en el mundo cinematográfico: En 1981 creó la productora de cine “Amblin Entertainment” junto con Kathleen Kenndy y Frank Marshall. El logo de esta productora pasaría a ser la famosa silueta de la bicicleta con luna llena de fondo de “ET”, la primera producción de la firma dirigida por Spielberg. Otras películas destacadas con participación de esta productora y no dirigidas por Spielberg son “Gremlins”, “Los Goonies”, “Regreso al futuro”, “Esta casa es una ruina”, “Fievel y el nuevo mundo”, “¿Quién engañó a Roger Rabbit?”, “En busca del Valle Encantado”, “Los picapiedra”, “Casper”, “Men in balck”, “Banderas de nuestros padres” & “Cartas desde Iwo Jima” o las series de televisión “Cuentos asombrosos” y “Urgencias” entre muchas otras películas y series. En 1994 fundaría con Jeffrey Katzenberg y David Geffen la productora y distribuidora DreamWorks, que venderían al estudio Viacom en 2006 tras participar en éxitos como “Shrek”, “American Beauty”, “Náufrago”, “Gladiator” o “Una mente maravillosa”.

Spielberg: A director's life reflected in film (The following is a script from "Spielberg" which aired on Oct. 21, 2012. Lesley Stahl is the correspondent. Ruth Streeter and Rebecca Peterson, producers.) Say "Steven Spielberg" and we all see a dozen images: a shark, an alien space ship, Indiana Jones in a snake pit, soldiers landing on the beaches of Normandy. His movies educate and enthrall; boggle and terrify. And now he's directed his 27th film about one of the most admired men in history and one of his heroes, Abraham Lincoln. But before we tell you about that, we discovered things about Spielberg that took us by surprise: stories from his childhood that are reflected in many of his extraordinary films. Steven Spielberg is now 65. He told us that when he's directing, he still gets just as worried, panicked, filled with dread as he did when he first started out. Lesley Stahl: You're a nervous wreck. Steven Spielberg: Yeah, it's true. Lesley Stahl: Is it a fear? Steven Spielberg: It's not really fear. It's just much more of an anticipation of the unknown. And you know, the unknown could be food poisoning. It's just the kind of level of anxiety not being able to write my life as well as I can write my movies.
