“…In past studies, we have also found increases in ATT choices, and thus primary process mentation, both in very anxious (Brakel & Shevrin, 2005) and in clinically anxious (De Gélas, Parrent, & Bazan, 2017) adults. Our results show that our pregnant women tended to be slightly more situationally anxious than control women; this is in agreement with others (e.g., Heron et al, 2004; see Ross & McLean, 2006, for a systematic review).…”

“…Interestingly, DiPietro, Novak, Costigan, Atella, and Reusing (2006) empirically showed that mild to moderate levels of psychological distress may enhance both motor and mental fetal maturation in healthy populations. We know from other research that anxiety favors primary process associations (see also Brakel & Shevrin, 2005; De Gélas et al, 2017) in a way, which is indicative of creative mental work 6 . Some other elements (Sit, Rothschild, & Wisner, 2006) suggest that a relative avoidance of primary process mentation, such as in obsessional neurosis, might be linked to a higher risk of puerperal psychosis.…”

Bydlowski has proposed that pregnant women show an altered mental state, qualified as "psychic transparency," characterized by a lowering of the usual defenses against the repressed unconscious and the parallel surfacing of (infantile) reminiscences, fantasies, and representations. This state of highly invested mental work is thought to be characterized by a predominance of primary process mentation. The GeoCat, a simple nonlinguistic instrument for the probing of primary and secondary processes, revealed a substantial increase in primary process mentation in pregnant women compared with control groups (n ϭ 118 pregnant women from their 6th to their last month of pregnancy, n ϭ 81 nonpregnant control women, n ϭ 78 future fathers, and n ϭ 40 control men). This difference remained highly significant after factoring out the influence of confounding variables. Also, this increase was not different between women giving birth for the first time and women having a second or subsequent child. For all these reasons, we are drawn to think that it is the mere event of having another being growing inside one's own body, which, by requiring huge mobilization of mental energy, dries up the mental sources required to maintain the usual defenses. As a consequence, primary process mentation would be at work, resulting in a so-called psychic transparency state. This mental explanation is an alternative for a mere biological and deficit interpretation, as it allows us to consider the function of this state, both for the mother-to-be and for the mother-infant bond.

The article is written based on lectures and scientific research of Academician Oleg Maltsev. His scientific approach is based on the criteria of objectivity and impartiality, therefore, before the subject of research was outlined — its purpose, task definition, determination of the order and structure of the experimental-practical part, testing and validation of scientific discoveries, practical and tactical models and other aspects, that will be presented to the reader in this article, in the first place, primary sources were analyzed that define the constructive material and the systematic presentation of the doctrine and principles of fate-analysis as a science, as well as its historical value and academic affiliation.
