“…After all, if we are to speak freely, we risk revealing how "full of contradictions" we are (Bollas, 2018, p. 84). We jeopardize what we know in order to know something new (Fang et al, 2023). Above all else, you fell silent to let me speak, to hear all the things you have known all your life spoken and communicated in my voice as a woman and a daughter long estranged from home-so they can gain new resonance and be reconnected with in their homecoming.…”

This paper emerged from a sore spot—the kind of sore spot that pulses with an ancient ache, refusing to find stillness. The pain caught me in a passionate unrest, turning my pages and engulfing me in a subdued fury. Re‐reading Freud's The Ego and the Id through a dialogical quest with my mother, it reveals the complexities of psychosocial troubles of identity, desires, and oppression—not solely of individuals but of an entire nation. Historical reiterations of dictatorial “thou shalt” (Freud, 1923, p. 55) echo resoundingly throughout contemporary Taiwan. If Japan stood as the foreign father—stern but devoid of the embrace of love—the subsequent rule of the Republic of China, the “biological” father of Taiwan, was characterized by militarization and violence. My inquiry repositions the father, the manifold “authoritarian fathers” of Taiwan, who fixed social relations into precise configurations of dominance and submission. Furthermore, whilst Freud primarily focused on the relationship between the ego and the super‐ego, this paper highlights instead the significance of the often‐overlooked relationship between the ego and id. This nuanced perspective allows us to perceive the id as a living archive of the oppressed, preserving what has been repressed but never truly forgotten.

“…The literature reviewed above emphasizes the distinctiveness of two knowledge frameworks relevant to marginalized mothers and how ongoing disciplinary singularity (Fang et al, 2023) limits our attempts to support marginalized mothers as psychoanalytic interventions struggle to hold onto the sociocultural perspectives of caregivers while social perspectives do not consider the intrapsychic and relational qualities of caregiving. In this study we employ a psychosocial framework (Saville Young, 2022) to advance knowledge of how low-income mothers construct their maternal subjectivity in their local contexts to contribute to clinically relevant and meaningful ways of supporting these mothers.…”

“I wonder if you will be sad?”: Employing the concept of mentalization psychosocially with low-income mothers

We demonstrate the value of a rapprochement between psychoanalytic work aimed at supporting marginalized mothers and discursive accounts of low-income mothers, providing a psychosocial analysis of data from an interview study with six low-income South African mothers. Employing discourse analysis, we show how instrumental mothering is a dominant and precarious construction in these mothers’ talk. We use the concept of mentalization to track the affective work that accompanies the interactional emergence of this instrumental mothering discourse in a particular interview encounter. The implications of the research are discussed in the light of increasing demands for sociocultural responsive research and clinical practice.

Culture as the bad object

This paper creatively extends Fairbairn’s theory to investigate the impact of the UK’s hostile environment policy on marginalised communities at the intersection of culture, politics and society. The hostile environment is conceptualised as a disruptive ‘bad object’ in the cultural dimension in alignment with Fairbairn’s theory. Its influence is explored in terms of its unconscious reproduction within the psyche. By juxtaposing context, theory and personal introspection, this paper offers a Fairbairnian exploration of how sociality and sociopolitical contexts interplay with the intricate processes of the human psyche. It provides reflective commentary on how external racial dynamics are internalised within the endopsychic structure, shaping one’s interactions with others, and, more significantly, how one relates to aspects of the self.
