Abstract

The concept of regression is considered with an emphasis on the differences between the positions of Freud and Jung regarding its significance. The paper discusses the results of experimental analyses of individual experience dynamics (from gene expression changes and impulse neuronal activity in animals to prosocial behaviour in healthy humans at different ages, and humans in chronic pain) in those situations where regression occurs: stress, disease, learning, highly emotional states and alcohol intoxication. Common mechanisms of regression in all these situations are proposed. The mechanisms of regression can be described as reversible dedifferentiation, which is understood as a relative increase of the representation of low-differentiated (older) systems in the actualized experience. In all of the cases of dedifferentiation mentioned above, the complexity of the systemic organization of behaviour significantly decreases.

L’article discute les résultats des analyses expérimentales de dynamiques de l’expérience individuelle (de changements dans l’expression des gènes et de l’activité des réflexes neuronaux chez les animaux aux comportements pro-sociaux chez des humains en bonne santé et à des âges de vie divers, et chez des humains en situation de souffrance chronique) dans ces situations où se produit la régression: le stress, la maladie, l’apprentissage, les états hautement émotionnels et l’intoxication par l’alcool. Les mécanismes communs de régression dans toutes ces situations sont présentés. Les mécanismes de régression peuvent être décrits en tant que dé-différentiation réversible, ce qui est interprété comme un accroissement relatif de la représentation de systèmes peu-différenciés (plus vieux) dans l’expérience actualisée. Dans tous les cas de dé-différentiation mentionnés plus haut, la complexité de l’organisation systémique du comportement décroit de manière significative. [Publisher, German] Das Konzept der Regression wird unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Unterschiede zwischen den Positionen von Freud und Jung auf seine Tragweite hin untersucht. Der Aufsatz diskutiert die Ergebnisse experimenteller Analysen der individuellen Erlebensdynamik (von Veränderungen der Genexpression und der impulsiven neuronalen Aktivität bei Tieren bis hin zu prosozialem Verhalten bei gesunden Menschen unterschiedlichen Alters und Menschen mit chronischen Schmerzen) in Situationen, in denen Regressionen auftreten: Streß, Krankheit, Lernen, sehr emotionale Zustände und Alkoholvergiftung. In all diesen Situationen werden gemeinsame Regressionsmechanismen angenommen. Diese Regressionsmechanismen können als reversible Entdifferenzierungen beschrieben werden, die als relativer Anstieg der Repräsentation niedrig differenzierter (älterer) Systeme in der aktualisierten Erfahrung verstanden wird. In allen oben genannten Fällen der Entdifferenzierung nimmt die Komplexität der systemischen Organisation des Verhaltens signifikant ab. [Publisher, Italian] Il concetto di regressione viene considerato con un’enfasi sulle differenze tra le posizioni di Freud e Jung riguardo al suo significato. L’articolo discute i risultati di analisi sperimentali delle dinamiche dell’esperienza individuale (dalle modificazioni nell’espressione genetica e dall’impulso dell'attività neuronale negli animali fino al comportamento prosociale in esseri umani sani in età differenti, e in esseri umani con dolore cronico) in quelle situazioni in cui si verifica la regressione: stress, malattia, apprendimento, stati altamente emotivi e intossicazione alcolica. Vengono proposti meccanismi comuni di regressione in tutte queste situazioni. I meccanismi di regressione possono essere descritti come dedifferenziazione reversibile, che è intesa come un aumento relativo della rappresentazione di sistemi a bassa differenziazione (più vecchi) nell’esperienza attualizzata. In tutti i casi di dedifferenziazione sopra menzionati, la complessità dell’organizzazione sistemica del comportamento diminuisce significativamente. [Publisher, Russian] Понятие регрессии рассматривается в свете различий взглядов Фрейда и Юнга на значение регрессии. В статье обсуждаются результаты экспериментального анализа динамики индивидуального опыта (начиная от изменений генной экспрессии и спайковой активности нейронов у животных до просоциального поведения у здоровых людей в разные возрастные периоды и людей, испытывающих хроническую боль) в ситуациях, в которых происходит регрессия: стресс, болезнь, обучение, состояния сильного эмоционального возбуждения, алкогольная интоксикация. Обосновывается представление об общности механизмов регрессии во всех этих ситуациях. Механизмы регрессии могут быть описаны как обратимая дедифференциация, под которой понимается относительное увеличение представленности низко-дифференцированных (старых) систем в актуализированном опыте. Во всех случаях упомянутой выше дедифференциации, сложность системной организации поведения существенно снижается. [Publisher, Spanish; Castilian] Se considera el concepto de regresión, con énfasis en las diferencias entre Freud y Jung en lo que concierne a su significado. El trabajo desarrolla los resultados de análisis experimentales sobre dinámicas experienciales individuales (desde cambios en la expresión genética y actividad neuronal en animales a conductas prosociales en humanos saludables en diferentes edades, y humanos en dolor crónico) en aquellas situaciones donde la regresión ocurre: estrés, enfermedad, aprendizaje, estados altamente emocionales e intoxicación alcohólica. Se proponen mecanismos comunes de regresión en todas estas situaciones. Los mecanismos de regresión pueden describirse como de-diferenciación reversible, la cual es comprendida como un incremento relativo de la representación de sistemas de baja-diferenciación (antiguos) en la experiencia actualizada. En todos los casos de de-diferenciación mencionados anteriormente, la complejidad de la organización sistemática de conducta decrece significativamente. [Publisher, Chinese] 退行I:退行的实证取向退行的概念被认为凸显了弗洛伊德和荣格关于退行的重要性的不同理解。文章讨论了关于个体处于退行发生的情境时, 其经验动力的实证分析的结果 (这些分析涉及动物基因表达的改变和神经元脉冲活性, 以及不同年龄健康人类亲社会的行为, 和慢性疼痛的病人), 这些导致退行的情境包括:压力, 疾病, 学习, 高情绪化状态, 酒精中毒。这些情境下常见的退行机制都在文中提及。退行的机制可以被描述为可逆的去分化, 这可以被理解为在实现经验中, 低分化的 (老一些的)系统表现出的相对增长。在所有以上提及的去分化案例中, 系统化组织的行为的复杂性显著降低了。.
