  Prenatal Psychic Experience: A Systematic Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Emotional Life of the Fetus

  The purpose of this dissertation was to provide a systematic and comprehensive review of the psychoanalytic literature as it pertains to prenatal psychic experience. The emotional life of the fetus has become an increasingly important topic in psychoanalysis

  particularly within object relations theory and theoretical and clinical exploration of primitive mental states. Contemporary psychoanalysts

  following the ideas of Freud

  Bion

  Ploye

  Mancia

  Grotstein

  and Paul have begun to gather research from the fields of infant mental health

  developmental psychology

  and medicine

  among others

  to show that not only does the newborn infant have an inherent capacity to communicate with the mothering one but that these capacities may have taken form during the prenatal stage of development. While psychoanalytic theory in the area of prenatal psychic experience has been sparse

  to date there have been no attempts to identify and synthesize the literature that exists in disparate areas of psychoanalysis. This dissertation aimed to systematically review the psychoanalytic literature in this area of study and to integrate existing theories and ideas through the use of Grounded Theory methods to provide a context for further inquiry and recommendations for possible clinical application.

  While a number of tests designed to assess symptom exaggeration have recently been introduced

  few investigations have focused on the effects of modality of stimuli presentation in detecting poor effort. This study di- rectly compared the Test of Memory Malingering ( TOMM )

  Victoria Symp- tom Validity Test ( VSVT )

  and Word Memory Test ( WMT )

  representing pictorial

  numerical

  and verbal stimuli respectively

  in their ability to detect symptom exaggeration. Thirty-four normal adults were administered the TOMM

  VSVT

  and WMT as part of a larger neuropsychological assessment battery. All participants were provided information from the public domain (i.e.

  Internet websites) regarding the typical sequelae fol- lowing a mild traumatic brain injury. Using the recommended cut-off of 45

  the TOMM correctly classified 70% of the sample as exaggerating; however

  only 12% of participants were incorrect on more than 50% of items. For the WMT

  30% were classified as providing good effort

  whereas 24% were classified as very poor effort and 46% extreme exaggeration. Again

  only 12% of participants were incorrect on more than 50% of WMT items. The VSVT Easy items incorrectly classified as valid 97% of the sample. Classification rates for the VSVT Hard items were 39% valid

  39% questionable

  and 21% invalid. In contrast to the other tasks

  46% of participants were incorrect on more than 50% of VSVT Hard items. These data suggest that cut-off scores suggested by test authors yield signifi- cantly different hit rates. However

  examination of actual test performance suggests simulated malingers may perform more poorly on the VSVT.

  Comparison of modality of stimuli presentation in three malingering measures.
