MIODOWNIK, Bernard. Deadly hatred, immortal hatred. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.1, pp. 33-44. ISSN 0486-641X.

Humankind occasionally finds itself facing times of hatred. Psychoanalysis deals with hatred in the everyday practice. Reducing a group and social issue to an explanation that is analogous to individual psyche brings the risk of reductionism. However, it is important for us to be able to know the psychodynamics of hatred as an attempt to understand how powerfully this hatred emerges in the external world. In clinical practice, we find hatred in the ambivalent conflict in which there are differentiated representations of self and object. We also find the hatred that results from a failing process of structuring narcissism (according to Fairbairn's, Winnicott's, and Kohut's thinking). In this last case, there is a disorganized hatred because it is not towards an object which has a mental representation of something that is separated from the own self; an object which may become integrated in the emotional ambivalence. In this situation, hatred may happen towards destruction. This hatred may also become the only way of connecting subject and object, both of which continue to be in state of no differentiation. This psychodynamics is seen in patients with a higher level of regression such as cases of borderline structure. The author presents two clinical vignettes to illustrate this.
