Utilizing nine vignettes from the 2012 Denzel Washington movie, "Flight," the underlying dynamics of states of elation will be elucidated in this presentation. Exhilaration, jubilance, exultation, euphoria, and ecstasy are states well captured in dreams of flight. Underlying elation is the oral triad: the wish to devour, the wish to be devoured, and the wish to go to sleep. These concepts are pleasant to devour but difficult to digest. The presentation will also explore the relationship between "good" sleep, "bad" sleep, and death. Primary sadism and masochism are situated in the nursing situation, active eating to sate hunger, then the ensuing yielding and sleep. Finally, the relationship of elated states to pharmacothymia, the use of chemicals to achieve elation, i.e., the substance use disorders, will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to articulate the similarities and differences between the three phases of the oral triad underlying elated states.
2. Participants will be able to distinguish between the defense mechanisms of denial, reaction formations, projections, and introjections, especially as these defense mechanisms relate to hypomania, obsessions, phobia, paranoia, and depression.
