I AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF R. Daniel McCauley for the Master of Arts in History presented December 4, 1985. Title: Wilhelm Reich's Character Analysis in its Historical Context. APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Go(°.j~ Dodds The thesis is an attempt to reconcile contradictions and devise historical meaning from a problematic text. The book is Wilhelm Reich's Character Analysis, first published in 1933. This influential psychoanalytic work embodies both a radical social theory and disturbing authoritarian attitudes. The thesis uses a variety of methodologies, in particular Roland Barthes' techniques for ascribing 2 historical meaning to certain formal qualities of writing. The thesis proceeds from a summary of methodological studies in intellectual history and criticism, including those of I. A. Richards, R. G. Collingwood, and Dominick LaCapra, as well as Barthes, to a description of Character Analysis and its various historical contexts - biographical, social, and intellectual.

Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology, Vol. 28, No. 1, January 1997 NARCISSISM, MIMESIS AND PSYCHOSIS: THE FREUD-JUNG DEBATE REVISITED1 PHILIPPE VAN HAUTE 1. Introduction Do you regard sexuality as the mother of all feelings? Isn’t sexuality for you merely one component of the personality (albeit the most important), and isn’t the sexual complex therefore the most important and most frequent component in the clinical picture of hysteria? Are there not hysterical symptoms which, though co-determined by the sexual complex, are predominantly conditioned by a sublimation or by a non-sexual complex (profession, job, etc.)? (Letter 39J)2' Jung's cautious question to Freud in a certain sense reformulates the stake of their longstanding dialogue such as it takes shape in exemplary manner in their correspondence: how sexual is the libido? Can you sustain your (Freud’s) constantly reaffirmed commitment to the sexual character of the libido? Nevertheless, in contrast with what the passage just cited might lead one to suspect, the stake of the discussions between Freud and Jung was not the sexual aetiology of the neuroses so much as that of the psychoses. In this connection, Jung was for Freud a privileged if not dreamed-of discussion partner. Jung not only provided the clinical experience that Freud lacked in the field of the psychoses, but at the same time brought him and psycho­ analysis into contact with and made them acceptable to, the official German psychiatry of the day.

  • (REICHIAN) THERAPY by Neil Schierholz Psyd
    TOWARD A PATIENT-CENTERED UNDERSTANDING OF ORGONOMIC (REICHIAN) THERAPY by Neil Schierholz PsyD San Francisco, California Copyright © 2011 by Neil Schierholz PsyD Los Angeles (310) 866-0440 San Francisco (415) 821-2345 [email protected] Abstract THIS STUDY EXPLORES the experience of patients who have been treated with orgonomic (Reichian) therapy. The purpose of this study is to shed light on the experience of undergoing this therapy from the perspective of patients who benefited from it. A brief history of Reich and his theory and practice of orgonomic therapy is chronicled along with clinical and autobiographical accounts of treatment cases. Seven current or former patients who have been treated with and benefited from orgonomic therapy were interviewed using a qualitative, heuristic method yielding rich experience-near descriptions of the subjective experience, conscious and unconscious meanings, and functions/experience of orgonomic therapy. Interview data were inductively coded producing individual depictions for each research participant, a composite depiction, and six core themes of the experience: (a) entry into orgonomic therapy, (b) orgonomic therapist attributes, (c) orgonomic biopsychotherapy, (d) experience of the therapeutic process, (e) therapeutic results, (f) thoughts and feelings about orgonomic therapy. The results are consistent with Reich’s theory and practice of orgonomic therapy and provide a broader, deeper, and richer understanding of the patient experience directly from the aggregate voices of those who have experienced and benefited from it first-hand. The results also indicate that patients who are treated with and benefit from orgonomic therapy feel innately and intuitively drawn to it. Clinical implications are offered along with recommendations for future study.

  • The Ego Ideal, the Grandiose Self, and Ardent Love
    THEORY II: BEYOND WISH AND DEFENSE THE EGO IDEAL, THE GRANDIOSE SELF, AND ARDENT LOVE Aim: The purpose of this class is to introduce the student to the radical revision of psychoanalytic theory inherent in the propositions contained in the essay "On Narcissism." The introduction of two new psychical agencies, the conscience and the ego ideal, the normalization of narcissism as an epigenetic fore-runner of object relations, and the concept of an ideal self formed by identifications with the ego ideal will be explored as they manifest themselves in ardent love and the clinical manifestations of the grandiose self.

Now I adore that girl with passion tender, And could not yield her with a ready will, Or her allot, if I did not Adore myself with passion tenderer still - W.S. Gilbert In 1914 Freud created a total, revolutionary, revision of his theory. He took the Leonardo model and normalized it. The finding of an object along the path of narcissism was now no longer a secondary phenomenon, occurring in a few select individuals.

What is psychoanalysis? Psychoanalysis is both a theory of the human mind and a therapeutic practice. It was founded by Sigmund Freud between 1885 and 1939 and continues to be developed by psychoanalysts all over the world. Psychoanalysis has four major areas of application: 1) as a theory of how the mind works 2) as a treatment method for psychic problems 3) as a method of research, and 4) as a way of viewing cultural and social phenomena like literature, art, movies, performances, politics and groups. What is psychoanalytic treatment for? Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy are for those who feel caught in recurrent psychic problems that impede their potential to experience happiness with their partners, families, and friends as well as success and fulfilment in their work and the normal tasks of everyday life.

  • Migratory Psychoanalysis Michael P
    Migratory psychoanalysis MICHAEL P. STEINBERG Brown University In September 2004 I participated in a conference in La plata, Argentina, on the topic of “the State and the politics of Memory: Archives, Museums, and Education.”1 the conference was convened by the comisión provincial por la Memoria, an authority commissioned in 2000 by the provincial government of Buenos Aires (whose capital is La plata) with the task of developing a public and comparative discourse of Vergangenheitsbewaeltigung, or coming to terms with the past. the Argentine past in question is the military regime that held power between 1976 and 1983, unleashing a campaign of state terrorism responsible for the murder of 30,000 citizens, with a severe overrepresentation, in increasing order, of youth, secondary school and university students, and Jews. the city of La plata boasts an important university; as a result, the violence there was especially severe. the comisión por la Memoria is housed in a former police headquarters known to the citizens of La plata as a site of torture and other hor- rors. Its task includes the preservation and dissemination of the archive of the state security forces (dIpBA), containing 3,800,000 files as well as other materials, including, for example, 160 recordings of bugged telephone conversations.2 to my surprise and, I must confess, to my relief, the large public audience proved quite interested in the topic of my own contribution: discourses and sites of public memory and history in Berlin. As it turns out, a delegation from the comisión por la Memoria was about to travel to Berlin to consult with analogous scholars and archivists there, specifically with the archivists of the Stasi files.

  • Healing Factors in Guided Affective Imagery: a Qualitative Meta-Analysis
    Healing Factors in Guided Affective Imagery: A Qualitative Meta-Analysis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy with a concentration in Psychology and a specialization in Counseling and Psychotherapy at the Union Institute & University Cincinnati, Ohio Elaine Sue Kramer April 3, 2010 Core Faculty: Lawrence J. Ryan, PhD i Abstract This qualitative meta-analysis compares and contrasts European and American approaches to Guided Affective Imagery (GAI). From a comparative review of literature of the European and American approaches, it is observed that there are noteworthy differences in how GAI is understood in theory and applied in practice. In the United States, GAI is not perceived as a method of deep psychotherapeutic intervention for neurotic disorders by most practitioners. In Europe, GAI is one of the more prevalent intervention techniques that has been reported to be effective in many disorders. Secondly, this meta-analysis seeks to identify the essential healing elements of GAI as they are implemented in psychotherapy. Twelve factors are identified from the literature. Of fundamental clinical importance is the activation of a patient’s “resources,” the positive characteristics of an individual that can be accessed to reinforce the patient’s ability to deal with a past traumatic experience. GAI provides the imagery context by which the patient may re-experience the trauma. The therapist assists by encouraging the patient to repeatedly utilize internal resources to confront the fearful event. Lasting relief may be conceptualized as repeated resource activation leading to a biochemically-induced remapping at synaptic sites away from the limbic-centered, emotion-based neural path associated with the traumatic event toward the prefrontal cortex-centered, cognitive-based path of appropriate behavior.

  • BJAA Working with Difference
    BJAA working with difference Elphis Christopher Response to Anne Zachary’s book “The Anatomy of the Clitoris - Reflections on the Theory of Female Sexuality" I was honoured to be invited to be a discussant of Anne’s book. Anne and I go back a long way, to 1995 when we shared a platform for a BAP conference “A Century of Sex”. She has generously included a part of my presentation in Chapter 5 when discussing her contribution on bisexuality and camp behaviour. Though a slim volume, it is packed with new information and ideas which challenge in the light of new biological information past theoretical understandings of female sexuality. Anne’s wide and deep experience illustrated using her psychoanalytic cases both from private practice and the Portman give it a unique perspective. It is a brave and upfront book and it is difficult to do it justice completely. As I read Anne’s book I reflected on my past experiences as a psychosexual doctor carrying out genital examinations and running psychosexual workshops. Participants at such workshops were invited to give colloquial and often rude words to sex organs e.g. penis: cock, root, for the vagina: fanny, pussy, cunt then the clitoris. This usually produced an embarrassed silence until someone said “The little man in the boat”. An American film made in the 1970s showed a woman with a drink problem having a breakdown. Referring to her sex life she talked of her clit saying “I can’t pronounce it and he (her husband) can’t find it. We were made for each other.” The 1970s also saw the publication of Becoming orgasmic, encouraging women to find their clitoris and self-pleasure.
