Heart and soul: the feeling body
Published in Anthony Korner, Communicative Exchange, Psychotherapy and the Resonant Self, 2020
Feeling is an integration of cross-modal sensory and contextual information, translated into the “language” of affect, involving deep structures of the limbic cortex. There has been interest in the role of the amygdala in relation to the experience of affect. While the role of the amygdala in mediating fear has been well-studied (Le Doux, 2000), it is also important in facial recognition, social responsiveness and appraisal of the valence of situations, thereby “updating representations of value” (Morrison & Salzman, 2010). This suggests a role in the process of apperception, in relation to the environment. However, the amygdala does not generate affect by itself. While important in the detection of environmental dangers, its role in the “generation of affect.… has been vastly exaggerated” (Panksepp, 2008, p. 48).
Psychology and Pedagogics of Attention

In other words, apperception denotes nothing less than the participation of our previous experience in the formation of current experience. If, in looking at objects lying in front of me, I not only see and am conscious of their sensible qualities, their color, shape, and so on, even though these qualities act on me by virtue of the direct force of the things lying in front of me, I possess, above all, a vivid idea that this is a hat, this is a briefcase, this is an ink-well, and so on, all of which occurs by virtue of this very same act of apperception, i.e., by virtue of already accumulated experience and of previous acts of attention.
The Clinical Psychologist in an Open Inpatient Setting

The psychologist also serves as the co-therapist, along with the patient’s social worker, in family meetings and in family therapy. We distinguish between family meetings that have an express purpose that revolves around pragmatic concerns or information exchange, versus family therapy in which each family member must be willing to reflect on their own participation in the family dynamics and interactions. At Riggs, context is recognized as an essential aspect of meaning-making. A psychodynamic perspective recognizes that meanings are inevitably personal and that transference is ubiquitous. As Grotstein (2009) notes, perception is more accurately designated apperception, meanings colored by the social and cultural contexts through which they have been derived.
Hermann Rorschach’s Psychodiagnostics, Newly Translated and Annotated Anniversary Edition: A Critical Review
Published in Journal of Personality Assessment, 2023
Marvin W. Acklin, Patrick J. McElfresh
In the end, apperception was used for the term Auffassung, which came to represent “perception with understanding,” consistent with his mentor Bleuler’s work. Apperception then remains as it is intended as a more foundational perceptual/interpretive concept. Wahrnehmung was then utilized for the term perception, which is consistent with the more general use of the word as a more basic process related to apperception. Erfassung in its various forms also presented across his tables and discussion as a “type” and in translation had more to do with acquiring, conceiving, or grasping. The translators chose “visual grasping” to highlight the participant’s effort to visually conceive the blot in the act of organizing the gestalt. Visual grasping then more reliably captures Rorschach’s description of such “types” as being related to the whole or detail use of the inkblot in organizing percepts.

Schultheiss
Implicit motives are nonconscious motivational needs that orient, select, and energize behavior (McClelland, 1987). A common approach to measuring implicit motives, such as affiliation, power, or achievement motives, is the Picture Story Exercise (PSE; Schultheiss & Pang, 2007, Smith, Atkinson, McClelland, & Veroff, 1992). The PSE is a modern, experimentally validated (Borsboom, Mellenbergh, & van Heerden, 2004; McClelland, 1958) version of the classic Thematic Apperception Test (TAT; Morgan & Murray, 1935). In this task, several ambiguous pictures are presented to participants who are asked to write an imaginative story in response to each picture. These stories are then coded by trained coders using empirically derived and validated content coding systems, which quantify the amount of motive imagery in each story. Motive-related imagery is used as an indicator for the strength of the implicit motive.
Sheehan’s syndrome and sickle cell disease: the story of Natasha*
Published in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2018
Barbara A. Wilson, Anita Rose, Gerhard Florschutz
We believe this is the first reported example of someone with both SS and SCD. We present the case of Natasha who had SCD and then developed SS following a postpartum haemorrhage during the birth of her second child. She did not regain full consciousness for two months. When she did, she showed symptoms of psychosis. These were sporadic and mostly resolved after a few months. Her severe cognitive deficits included Balint’s syndrome and apperceptive agnosia. These have not resolved. We believe the psychotic symptoms are consistent with SS but the cognitive problems are not. They may be due to the stroke resulting from the SCD and the haemorrhage at childbirth, or to the fact that the very low blood pressure caused by the severe blood loss lead to hypoxic damage.
