WASHINGTON CENTER FOR PSYCHOANALYSIS PSP CURRICULUM Course: The Mind in Conflict Time and Dates: Tuesday, 4:00-5:15pm April 16th, 23rd, 30th, May 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th 2019 Instructors: Rosa Aurora Chavez, MD, PhD (202)243-0595 [email protected] Jennifer Unterberg, PhD (214)770-5030 [email protected] During this course we will review classical and contemporary psychoanalytic views of the nature of conflict and the place it has in clinical work. Everyone is expected to read all the materials every week and to participate in a seminar discussion. We have provided you with some key questions for every article for you to reflect before each class. They will guide our seminar discussions. Connections to the clinical work and to other theoretical and practical domains are encouraged. Learning objectives: 1. The student will be able to assess conflict using diverse psychoanalytic perspectives. 2. The student will be able to assess more accurately the degree to which the patient's difficulties are more based on conflict or on developmental deficits. 3. The student will be able to treat patients more effectively by being able to distinguish between the role of conflict and the role of deficit in the patient's disorder and the different available therapeutic approaches. Specific learning objectives for each class session follows the readings list . 1. 4/16/19 Classic conflict theory and defense mechanisms a) Eagle, M. (2017). Inner Conflict in Freudian Theory.

Pp. 100-150. • What are the defining features of primitive defenses vs higher order defenses? Is this classification useful? • What is the relation between defenses and personality structure? • McWilliams does not view herself as a theoretician, but a synthesizer. Does her description of all the mentioned defenses add to your understanding of defense mechanisms? How does it relate to what has been described in our previous readings, such as Ogden’s chapters on Melanie Klein? 2. 4/23/19 Modern Conflict Theory; Brenner and Compromise Formation a) Christian, C. (2017). The Evolution of Modern Conflict Theory. In Christian, C., Eagle, M., & Woltisky, D. (Eds.), Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Conflict.

Pp. 3-14. • Arlow concludes that Freud’s view of pathology as a product of conflict remains our most comprehensive approach to understanding problems. What leads him to believe this and do you agree? • How does Arlow define trauma? b) Fred Pine: “Some Impressions Regarding Conflict, Defect and Deficit.” (1994) Psychoanal. Study of the Child 49: 222-240. • How does Pine expand our understanding of conflict beyond intersystemic models? • What is the role of deficit VS defect? 4. 5/07/19 Conceptualizing conflict in Kleinian Theory a) Thomas Ogden: “The Paranoid-Schizoid Position: Self as Object,” and “The Depressive Position and the Birth of the Historical Subject.” In his The Matrix of the Mind: Object Relations and the Psychoanalytic Dialogue. (1986) Pp. 41-99. • How would you define the paranoid-schizoid position, and what is its relevance in development? • How could this concept be useful to our practice? • What is the principle anxiety of the depressive position and what developmental advances lead to this? • What makes conflict possible during the depressive position? b) Vorus, N.

(2003). Something Wicked This Way Comes: Trauma, Dissociation, and Conflict: The Space Where Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Science, and Neuroscience Overlap. Psychoanal. Psychol. , 20:558-574. • What is dissociation and what are its functions as a process and as a structure? What is the role of unsymbolized affect? • How does a person’s reliance on dissociation make it hard to work in the “here and now” and what are the treatment implications? • What is the relation between dissociation and conflict? How is this perspective different from others reviewed in class? • Bromberg points to a “remarkable convergence between cognitive and neuroscience data and interpersonal-relational psychoanalytic approach." How can we integrate these neuroscience findings to our work with patients who rely on dissociation? B) Ellman, S. (2017). Analytic trust, transference, and the importance of conflict.

    Unconscious Phantasy and Its Conceptualizations: an Attempt at Conceptual Integration

    Int J Psychoanal (2015) 96:705–730 doi: 10.1111/1745-8315.12315 Unconscious phantasy and its conceptualizations: An attempt at conceptual integration Werner Bohleber, Juan Pablo Jimenez, Dominique Scarfone, Sverre Varvin and Samuel Zysman Werner Bohleber Kettenhofweg, 62 60325, Frankfurt am Main, Germany – [email protected] (Accepted for publication 14 October 2014) That there is a lack of consensus as to how to decide between competing, at times even contradictory theories, and about how to integrate divergent con- cepts and theories is well known. In view of this situation, the IPA Committee on Conceptual Integration (2009–2013) developed a method for comparing the different versions of any given concept, together with the underlying theo- ries and fundamental assumptions on which they are based. Only when situated in the same frame of reference do similarities and differences begin to appear in a methodically comprehensible and reproducible form. After having studied the concept of enactment followed by the publication of a paper in this Journal in 2013, we proceeded to analyze the concept of unconscious phantasy while at the same time continuing to improve our method. Unconscious phantasy counts among the central concepts in psychoanalysis. We identified a wide range of definitions along with their various theoretical backgrounds. Our primary concern in the present paper addresses the dimensional analysis of the semantic space occupied by the various conceptualizations. By way of deconstructing the concepts we endeavoured to establish the extent to which the integration of the different conceptualizations of unconscious phantasy might be achieved. Keywords: unconscious phantasy, conceptual research, conceptual integration Introduction Acknowledging the plurality of theories in psychoanalysis constituted a lib- erating advance within the analytic community, but it also concealed a potential inhibitive factor in attempts to integrate concepts.

    Jacques-Alain Miller / How Psychoanalysis Cures According To

    Newsletter of the Freudian Field, Volume 1, Issue 2, Fall 1987 Jacques-Alain Miller Jacques-Alain Miller How Psychoanalysis Cures According to Lacan The First Paris/Chicago Psychoanalytic Workshop, 1986 I My title is meant as a tribute to Heinz Kohut’s last work, How Psychoanalysis Cures.1 As to Lacan, I suppose there are both people acquainted with his thought and people who will hear of his existence for the very first time. I will try to keep contact with both parts of the audience. I shall begin with various misconceptions about Lacan. Perhaps Dr. Richard Chessick, who so kindly gave me his book yesterday evening, will not mind if I begin with his misconceptions of Lacan.2 I am sure that he knows a lot more than I do about Heinz Kohut, Otto Kernberg, and others, but perhaps I could refer to the two pages he devotes to Continental psychiatry and psychoanalysis, and help clarify some points on Lacan. The first misconception is that Dr. Chessick placed Lacan, as is usually done in this country, on a par with Roland Barthes, Claude Levi Strauss, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida. That occurs on page 286 of this book, and I call this the “post-structuralist error.” The second misconception is a fine point on institutional matters. Dr. Chessick says that in the famous “pass” which Lacan instituted in his school, the students, one’s fellow students, could decide who was going to be a training analyst. The idea that Lacan allowed fellow students to decide who was going to be a training analyst is a misconception.

    Heinz Kohut, the Making of a Psychoanalyst

    Heinz Kohut, The Making of a Psychoanalyst Douglas Kirsner Charles B. Strozier Heinz Kohut, The Making of a Psychoanalyst Farrar, Straus & Giroux, New York, 2001, 495pp., $A 75, Hardcover. Douglas Kirsner Faculty of Arts, Deakin University, 221 Burwood Highway, Burwood Victoria 3125 My yellowed copy of the news item in The New York Times of October 11, 1981 reads: ‘Heinz Kohut, a leading psychoanalyst who developed a new theory of the self in opposition to the ideas of Sigmund Freud, died Thursday of congestive heart failure at Billings Hospital in Chicago. He was 68 years old’. Kohut was certainly a seminal thinker in psychoanalysis and the founder of a major orientation or movement, especially in the US, that has developed world wide, including Germany and Australia. Although his ideas parallel British object relations theorists such as Winnicott, a number of the concepts of his ‘psychology of the self are separate developments (e.g., selfobject, his emphasis on empathy, narcissism and forms of transference). Kohut’s work has had a pervasive influence in the mental health field in general. A 1984 study asking leading American psychiatrists for what they regarded as the most important developments in the field in the preceding decade found thirteen books and only one journal article listed sufficiently often to be seen as the most important publications. Kohut (1971, 1977) was the only author mentioned twice (Strauss et al, 1984). According to a lead article in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Kohut’s work precipitated ‘a firestorm of controversy, challenging fundamental precepts about both the etiology and the treatment of psychopathology’ (Baker and Baker, 1987, p.

  • The European Vampire: Applied Psychoanalysis and Applied Legend

    The European Vampire: Applied Psychoanalysis and Applied Legend

    The European Vampire: Applied Psychoanalysis and Applied Legend Richard M. Gottlieb, M.D. New York Psychoanalytic Institute Although many scholars have argued persuasively that the application of psychological methods can aid in the understanding of folklore (Jones 1971, R6heim 1952, Bettleheim 1976, Dundes 1987 and 1989), the fact that the study of folkloric phenomena can help to better understand psychoanalytic patients and individual psychology in general seems a less familiar if not novel idea. A moment's reflection, however, makes it clear that, although not always recognized as such, the use of the study of folklore to illuminate the minds of individuals is not new at all. This powerful tool was first used by Freud during his self-analysis in 1897 (see Masson 1985; Anzieu 1986), when he first realized that the ancient myth of Oedipus was in part determined by universal experiences occurring during childhood development, and that understanding the myth could help him to better understand individuals. Therefore, the familiar "Oedipus complex" was the first example in psychoanalysis of the method of applied folklore. In a single stroke Freud understood an important aspect of the universal appeal of the myth and an important and universal aspect of childhood experience. In what follows I will similarly approach a familiar legend, the legend of the European vampire, from the same dual perspective; that is, I will pose and partially answer two complementary questions: 1) What can we learn about individual psychology from the study of the vampire legend? and 2) How can the study of individual psychology help us to better understand this same legend?
