Psychoanalytic Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:57 12 August 2016 PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY, RESEARCH, AND CLINICAL PRACTICE “This is a wonderful book. Not only is it a richly deserved tribute to Joe Lichtenberg, who has made such seminal contributions to psychoanalysis, but it is a volume that contains some of the most original and penetrating essays on motivational systems, infant development and theories of therapy that have appeared for some time. This is a book that will enrich therapists everywhere.” —Theodore Jacobs , M.D. Psychoanalytic Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice: Reading Joseph D. Lichtenberg explores both Lichtenberg’s psychoanalytic theoretical contributions and innovations in clinical technique, and how these have infl uenced the work of other psychoanalysts and researchers. Lichtenberg’s approach integrates a developmental perspective on the life cycle, self psychology, attachment theory, and his theory of motivational systems. The commentaries in this volume are divided into several sections. Part I is devoted to informal interviews with Lichtenberg that portray an account Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:57 12 August 2016 of the evolution of psychoanalysis through Lichtenberg’s eyes, interwoven with the development of his own psychoanalytic identity. Part II celebrates the role of friendship within his psychoanalytic circle, and Part III highlights his leadership role in the development of creative structures: the journal Psychoanalytic Inquiry ; The Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (ICP&P) and its training programs; and the ongoing Creativity Seminar. Additional sections provide commentary by psychoanalysts and researchers which demonstrate Lichtenberg’s theoretical and clinical impact on his colleagues. Psychoanalytic Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice provides an in-depth encounter with a major contributor to the psychoanalytic fi eld. Engagement with the openness, fl exibility, and inquiring spirit of Joseph D. Lichtenberg offers respect for and hope in the psychoanalytic process. This book is essential reading for psychoanalysts, mental health professionals, and graduate students interested in how theory, research, and technique are creatively integrated by a renowned psychoanalytic clinician and teacher. Linda Gunsberg, Ph.D. is a psychoanalyst and forensic expert. She chairs the Family Law and Family Forensics Training Program at Washington Square Institute (NYC) and co-chairs the Psychoanalysis and Law Discussion Group of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Gunsberg is a Consulting Editor for Psychoanalytic Inquiry and has co-edited Fathers and Their Families and A Handbook of Divorce and Custody . Sandra G. Hershberg, M.D. is a psychoanalyst and adult and child psychiatrist. She is the Director of Psychoanalytic Training, Founding Member and Training and Supervising Analyst at the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis in Washington, D.C. She is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Washington Center for Psychoanalysis.

Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:57 12 August 2016 PSYCHOANALYTIC INQUIRY BOOK SERIES JOSEPH D. LICHTENBERG Series Editor Like its counterpart, Psychoanalytic Inquiry: A Topical Journal for Mental Health Professionals, the Psychoanalytic Inquiry Book Series presents a diversity of subjects within a diversity of approaches to those subjects. Under the editorship of Joseph Lichtenberg, in collaboration with Melvin Bornstein and the editorial board of Psychoanalytic Inquiry , the volumes in this series strike a balance between research, theory, and clinical application. We are honored to have published the works of various innovators in psychoanalysis, such as Frank Lachmann, James Fosshage, Robert Stolorow, Donna Orange, Louis Sander, Léon Wurmser, James Grotstein, Joseph Jones, Doris Brothers, Fredric Busch, and Joseph Lichtenberg, among others. The series includes books and monographs on mainline psychoanalytic topics, such as sexuality, narcissism, trauma, homosexuality, jealousy, envy, and varied aspects of analytic process and technique. In our efforts to broaden the fi eld of analytic interest, the series has incorporated and embraced innovative discoveries in infant research, self psychology, intersubjectivity, motivational systems, affects as process, responses to cancer, borderline states, contextualism, postmodernism, attachment research and theory, medication, and mentalization. As further investigations in psychoanalysis come to fruition, we seek to present them in readable, easily comprehensible writing. After 25 years, the core vision of this series remains the investigation, analysis, and discussion of developments on the cutting edge of the psychoanalytic fi eld, inspired by a boundless spirit of inquiry.

    Michigan Psychoanalytic Council Self Psychology Carol B. Levin, M.D. Fall, 2010 In this (too) short course, we will sample the vast literature on psychoanalytic self psychology from it’s beginnings in Kohut’s writings, through the writings of the first generation of his students and followers (e.g. Basch, Bacal, Lachmann, Miller, Anna and Paul Ornstein, Tolpin, Lichtenberg, Fosshage, Morrison), and then through some of its transformations into intersubjectivity theory (Stolorow, Atwood, and Brandschaft) and complexity theories (Stolorow, Coburn, Weisel-Barth). My hope is to give you a foundational understanding of the basic concepts of self psychology, for you to understand how it revised and transformed the preeminent theory of its day, ego psychology, and for you to have a sense of how self psychologists think and work clinically. I recommend to you Charles B. Strozier’s seminal 2001 biography of Kohut: Heinz Kohut: The Making of a Psychoanalyst (New York: Other Press), although we simply don’t have time to read it. Class participants will select articles to comment on in class from the week’s list! Articles marked with an * are required. I will email you the readings for the first week, and we will work out how you will obtain the subsequent readings when we meet. Because this reading list is just a sampling, I will develop a list of “Suggestions for Further Reading” and give it to you at the completion of the course.

Located on the Seward Peninsula, the town’s population had swelled to 20,000 by 1900 after gold was discovered on beaches along the Bering Sea. By 1925, however, much of the gold was gone and scarcely 1,400 people were left in the remote northern outpost. Nome was icebound seven months of the year and the nearest railroad was more than 650 miles away, in the town of Nenana. The radio telegraph was the most reliable means by which Nome could communicate with the rest of the world during the winter. Since Alaska was a U.S. territory, the government also maintained a route over which relays of dog teams carried mail from Anchorage to Nome. A one- way trip along this path, called the Iditarod Trail, took about a month. The “mushers” who traversed the trail were the best in Alaska.

  • BULLETIN Spring • Summer 2018
    BPSI BULLETIN Spring • Summer 2018 What Matters On March 24, young people converged on Washington, D.C., New York, Boston, and 797 other locations around the globe. The March for Our Lives was organized by students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, who brought their fight to the nation’s capital. They were not afraid to take on powerful forces. The way I see it, they have met their own mortality and, perhaps, have been inoculated against intimidation tactics. Their power does not depend on money, nor are they worried about being reelected. They have faced the firing squad and, riveted by the randomness of their escape, they are hyperfocused on life. It is an advantage that comes from absence: They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I think of them as Obama’s children, the legacy of a president’s thwarted efforts to implement gun control. These young people have knowledge, energy, and social media savvy. Respecting the power of words has helped them rise to this moment of activism. Already, they seem to be having an impact, but perhaps that is my wishful thinking. The students of Parkland probably understand that there is irony in the name of the school where they have studied history and democracy, where they have practiced debate and learned the value of the free speech principles they made use of in D.C. I imagine they know quite a bit about Marjory Stoneman Douglas, who left behind a legacy of activism herself when she died in 1999 at the age of 108.

  • Introduction: Trauma, Psychoanalysis, Literary Form
    Notes Introduction: Trauma, Psychoanalysis, Literary Form 1. For a historical genealogy of trauma, see Leys, 2000; Luckhurst, 2008: Part I. 2. Psychoanalysis has deeply informed our understanding of trauma, particu- larly in the Humanities (see, for instance, Felman and Laub, 1992; Caruth, 1995c; 1996; Leys, 2000; Garland, 2002d; Ball, 2007b), and several critics (including Stonebridge, 1998; Jacobus, 1999; Schwab, 2001; Jacobus, 2005; Moran, 2007; Radstone, 2007a; b) have turned specifically to British object relations theory when writing about the relationship between trauma or violence and literature. Nevertheless, important aspects of this strand of psychoanalysis have not yet been comprehensively explored regarding their usefulness for a literary aesthetics of trauma. 3. While PTSD is central to contemporary understandings of trauma (includ- ing mine), especially in the Humanities, Ruth Leys points to The Harmony of Illusions: Inventing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (1995) by anthropologist Allan Young, which postulates that, in Leys’s words, ‘far from being a timeless entity […] PTSD is a historical construct that has been “glued together by the practices, technologies, and narratives with which it is diagnosed, studied, treated, and represented and by the various interests, institutions, and moral arguments that mobilized these efforts and resources”’ (2000: 6). For her part, Leys identifies ‘the problem of imitation, defined as a problem of hypnotic imitation’ (2000: 8) as central to the history of trauma (see also Radstone, 2007b: 14–16). 4. Relating to transnational adoption, Drucilla Cornell adopts Gayatri Spivak’s phrase ‘enabling violation’ to indicate ‘what can be enabling for certain children – parents who adopt them and, in many cases, enable them to stay alive – is inseparable from the violation perpetuated through systematic inequalities’ (2007: 234).
