LETTERS FROM WARSAW THE BEGINNING OF PSYCHOANALYSIS IN POLAND The history of the psychoanalytic movement in Poland is marked by recurrent loss. Therefore, it can be said that there were several beginnings. Historical and social circumstances hindered or prevented the establishment of an institutional form of this movement for a long time. What is most characteristic of the psychoanalytic movement in Poland is the enthusiasm and passion, as well as the profiles of the most significant people dedicated to the idea of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalytic thought in Poland was present almost from the very beginning of its formulation by Sigmund Freud. At that time, and until 1918, Poland did not exist as a state being divided into three parts among the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany and Russia. For this reason, many people studied not only in Cracow or Warsaw, but also in the major centers of scientific life in the area - in Vienna, Berlin and less often in Moscow. As the authors of the exhibition on the history of Polish psychoanalysis1 wrote: Among the members of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society until 1938, as many as 19 people were born on land recognized as Polish. Some of these people were also members of the Berlin Society. They were: Sigfried Bernfeld, Berta Bornstein, Stefania Borstein-Windholz, Gustaw Bychowski, Bernhard Dattner, Helena Deutsch, Ludwik Eidelberg, Salomea Gutmann-Isakower, Ludwik Jekels, Salomea Kempner, Edward Krohengold, Johaness Jaroslaw Marcinkowski, Hermann Nunberg, Beata Rank, Jozef Reinhold, Izydor Isaak Sadger, Max Schur, Eugenia Sokolnicka, Jenny Wälder. Poland was a multinational country at the time, and the above mentioned people were of different nationalities. Some of them came from assimilated Jewish families, some from mixed Polish-Jewish families or from Polish-German families. However, most of them was strongly associated with Polish culture. Several people in this group felt Polish and maintained a strong bond with Poland. They tried to instill psychoanalytic ideas among Polish psychiatrists, translating Freud into Polish. We consider them pioneers of psychoanalysis in Poland. These were Ludwik Jekels, Hermann Nunberg and Gustaw Bychowski. Their profiles illustrate the significant influence of psychoanalysts coming from this region of Europe on the development of world psychoanalysis. In the face of the onslaught of fascism, they all emigrated to the United States and continued their clinical practice in New York. All of them had a significant contribution to the development of psychoanalysis there. Ludwik Jekels being temporarily in Sweden, along with Otto Fenichel, was also a co-founder of the Swedish-Finnish Psychoanalytic Society and was a key figure there.(Wojciechowska et al., 2012) At this point, it is necessary to mention another person, who contributed immensely to the development of world psychoanalytic thought, and who until her death was associated with Poland. Hanna Segal was born in Lodz to an assimilated Jewish 1 I would like to thank my colleagues from the team that worked on the history of Polish psychoanalysis: Ewa Wojciechowska, Agnieszka Makowiecka-Pastusiak, Agnieszka Myśliwiec-Ferduła and Anna Szypusińska. The exhibition prepared by this team for the 15th anniversary of PPS will be available for viewing at the EPF Conference in Warsaw. family. She grew up and went to school in Warsaw, and after a short stay in Switzerland returned to Warsaw to study. The outbreak of World War II eventually forced her to emigrate. She completed her medical studies and psychoanalytic training in England. For the rest of her life she emphasized her Polish roots and was proud of them. Hanna Segal together with another British analyst of Polish origin Wiktor Sedlak played a significant role in the period of the revival of psychoanalysis in Poland in the 1980s and 1990s. WORLD WAR II The outbreak of World War II, and the implementation of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact signed between Germany and Russia, dramatically affected the lives of all people living in Poland. Already at the very beginning, in 1939 our country was divided between the communist USSR and fascist Germany. It is well known that Fascist Germany intended to exterminate the Jews. It must be stressed, however, that the two invaders were also pursuing a planned policy aimed at obliterating the Polish intellectual elite and transforming the nation into a slave mass. The course of the war in these areas was much fiercer than in Western Europe. The magnitude of destruction, loss and breach of continuity had a great impact on our destiny. The war not only destroyed the economy, but also overthrew the values that had to that point been considered inviolable. The trauma of this period left its mark on our reality as well as our consciousness and collective unconsciousness. For psychoanalysis, it meant a complete disaster. As I mentioned earlier, most psychoanalysts emigrated before the outbreak of war. The only survivor of the war in Poland was Maurycy Bornstein, a doctor who in the years 1908-1939 was the head of the Psychiatric Ward of the Jewish Hospital in Warsaw, where psychoanalytic thought was propagated. He himself wrote a psychiatry manual in which he recommended working in the spirit of psychoanalysis. Initially he spent the war in the Warsaw Ghetto, and later on hid in one of the Warsaw suburbs. After the war, he worked in Lodz and continued to promote the ideas of psychoanalysis, however, they were not met with a positive response. COMMUNIST REGIME The postwar reconstruction of life in Poland took place in the specific conditions of the communist regime and dependence on the Soviet Union. Life behind the "iron curtain" brought with it a number of difficult experiences: authoritarianism, abuse of power and the restriction of fundamental civil liberties. The 1950s especially was a period of very intense repression on the part of the Stalinist regime - prison and death sentences for the so-called "class enemies". As early as 1949, the Soviet Union officially banned psychoanalysis as a bourgeois ideology. As a consequence, independent psychoanalytic thought in all countries of the Eastern Bloc, including Poland, was considered hostile. "In the philosophical dictionary of that period (1955) we can read: "Freudianism and Neofreudianism remain in the service of American imperialism, which uses "the theory" propagating consciousness is subordinate to “subconsciousness" to justify and develop the lowest and most despicable human aspirations and instincts" (Wojciechowska et al., 2012) FROM THE1960s TO 1980s. WE START ANEW. The historical context is necessary to understand why the ideas of psychoanalysis have been absent for so long and why their rebirth has been slow. Also, social processes are closely linked to historical events. The end of 1950s, after the death of Stalin, was the so-called “thaw” period. In response to this, various ideas came to life, including psychoanalytic thought. And here again there were individuals whose passion and determination gave rise to a broader process. As the colleagues from the History Team wrote: "In fact, until the1990s, psychoanalysis was taught in Poland in a manner similar to the days of the beginnings of the psychoanalytic movement in Europe. The theory was studied and the practice was discussed in groups that were forming around leaders and which fulfilled the role normally played by training institutes. Some of the groups formed within the institution and had a more organized nature, while other ones worked quite informally." (Wojciechowska et al., 2012) It is worth mentioning the names of people who played a significant role in promoting psychoanalysis in 1960s and 1970s. They were Jan Malewski, Michał Lapinski, Zbigniew Sokolik. They went through their own shuttled analysis in Czechoslovakia or in Hungary and tried to treat patients in the same spirit while promoting theoretical knowledge by organizing systematic seminars. The participants of these seminars, in turn, tried to spread the acquired knowledge in their workplaces. As a result, the group of people interested in psychoanalysis was growing. This was a very intense period of time, the society experienced both losses and profits as two of the above mentioned leaders emigrated from Poland permanently. At the same time, from the end of the 1970s and particularly in the 1980s contacts with therapists from Western Europe had been developing. With the help of the analysts of Polish origin living abroad, and thanks to the activity of our colleagues, we were able to establish contacts with psychoanalysts from Germany, the United Kingdom and Sweden. We received tremendous help from these psychoanalytic societies, both in terms of content (supervisions, seminars, book sharing) as well as financial and organizational assistance. Without this help, we would certainly not have been able to develop in such a short time. Memories of that time and gratitude for the help received are still alive in our circles. AFTER THE IRON CURTAIN: The FIRST PSYCHOANALYTIC INSTITUTIONS After 1989, the political situation in Poland changed and the process of democratization began. Together with it, there came openness to the world, freedom and revival of contacts with Western Europe. It was an extremely important period of the dynamic development for the psychoanalytic movement in Poland. Almost at the same time (1991) two associations were formed: The Polish Society for Development of Psychoanalysis, and the Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. Both aimed at further development of psychoanalysis. The Society for Development of Psychoanalysis organized regular psychoanalysis training modelled on IPA standards, and talked about the possibility of accepting some of their members as IPA direct members. The efforts of Polish colleagues resulted in permanent cooperation with the IPA towards creating conditions for close integration within the framework of the IPA. The turning point was organizing The Third Eastern European Seminar EPF in Pułtusk near Warsaw.

    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).

'INDICATIONS THAT I CAN TOUCH THE HEARTS OF MY FELLOW MEN':l READING SCENES OF CLERICAL LIFE FROM A KLEINIAN PSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVE. By Toni Griffiths George Eliot tentatively reflected in her journal that she might be touching the hearts of her fellow men in Scenes aj Clerical Life. In this short paper, I explore with the aid of Kleinian psychoanalytical ideas what might be involved in such a touching of the heart and attempt in the process to indicate that, despite their evident flaws, the Scenes are powerful harbingers of the later and mature works. I have elsewhere2 detailed my argument that a literary text will evoke a strong emotional response in the reader in those cases where the powerful and contradictory sensations of the unconscious, of early unconscious phantasy, are at some level apprehended through the text by the reader.
  • Transference and Countertransference

    Transference and Countertransference

    Washington Center for Psychoanalysis Psychoanalytic Studies Program, 2018-2019 TRANSFERENCE AND COUNTERTRANSFERENCE 18 December 2018- 19 March 2019 Tuesday: 5:30-6:45 Faculty: David Joseph and Pavel Snejnevski “I believe it is ill-advised, indeed impossible, to treat transference and countertransference as separate issues. They are two faces of the same dynamic rooted in the inextricable intertwining with others in which individual life originates and remains throughout the life of the individual in numberless elaborations, derivatives, and transformations. One of the transformations shows itself in the encounter of the psychoanalytic situation.” Hans Loewald Transference and Countertransference OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE Although it was first formulated by Freud, transference, as we currently understand it, is integral to all meaningful human relationships. In a treatment relationship characterized by the therapist’s professional but friendly interest, relative anonymity, neutrality regarding how patients conduct their lives, non-judgmental attitude, and a shared conviction that associating freely and speaking without censorship will best facilitate the goals of the treatment, patients come to experience the therapist in ways that are powerfully and unconsciously shaped by aspects of earlier important relationships. The patient is often not aware that he is “transferring” these earlier experiences to the therapist but is also often completely unaware of “transferred” reactions to the therapist that only become manifest as the treatment relationship develops. Laboratory experiments in animals demonstrate neurophysiological processes that cast light on the processes that contribute to transference reactions in humans. If a rat is trained to respond negatively to the sound of a bell that is paired with an electric shock, recordings from a single cell in the structure of the brain that responds to fear will indicate nerve firing.

  • James Baldwin and Melanie Klein in the Context of Black Lives Matter

    James Baldwin and Melanie Klein in the Context of Black Lives Matter

    ESSAY The Struggle of Integration: James Baldwin and Melanie Klein in the Context of Black Lives Matter David W. McIvor Colorado State University Abstract Recent killings of unarmed black citizens are a fresh reminder of the troubled state of racial integration in the United States. At the same time, the unfolding Black Lives Matter protest movements and the responses by federal agencies each testify to a not insignificant capacity for addressing social pathologies surrounding the color line. In order to respond to this ambivalent situation, this article suggests a pairing between the work of James Baldwin and that of the psychoanalyst Melanie Klein. I will argue that we cannot fully appreciate the depths of what Baldwin called the “savage paradox” of race without the insights provided by Klein and object relations psychoanalysis. Conversely, Baldwin helps us to sound out the political significance of object relations approaches, including the work of Klein and those influenced by her such as Hanna Segal and Wilfred Bion. In conversa- tion with the work of Baldwin, object relations theory can help to identify particu- lar social settings and institutions that might allow concrete efforts toward racial justice to take root. Keywords: psychoanalysis, integration, Black Lives Matter, Melanie Klein If the word integration means anything, this is what it means: that we, with love, shall force our brothers to see themselves as they are, to cease fleeing from reality and begin to change it. James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (1963)1 The killings in late 2014 and early 2015 of unarmed black citizens in Ferguson, MO, Staten Island, N.Y., Baltimore, MD, and Charleston, S.C.—and the national protests that followed from these killings—provided fresh evidence that the state of racial integration in the United States is still troubled, to put it mildly.

    Fin-De-Siècle Investigations of the 'Creative Genius' in Psychiatry And

    2 Fin-de-siècle investigations of the ‘creative genius’ in psychiatry and psychoanalysis Birgit Lang In Victorian society, admiration for the ‘creative genius’ abounded. It was based on stereotypical notions of the Romantic artist, who, ‘by the neat and necessarily contradictory logic of aesthetic elevation and social exclu- sion, [was] both a great genius and greatly misunderstood’.1 In Germany the propensity to idealise the artist as a creative genius was further propelled by intellectuals’ and writers’ contribution to imagining the German nation throughout the nineteenth century, and by the tendency of literary works to aestheticise and idealise bourgeois life. By the late nineteenth century, this Romantic image of genius began to transform, despite much resistance from parts of the German public. For over two decades from the late 1890s onwards – roughly until the First World War – psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and the reading public were particularly captivated by the mental health and sex life of German creative writers, artists and intellectuals. For the sake of simplicity, all such individuals are throughout this chapter collectively referred to as creative artists. Both psychiatric discourse and the more conservative strand of psychoanalytic discourse provided a powerful new lens through which to interpret biographies of exceptional human beings. Artist pathographies, or psychiatric case studies of creative artists, expanded the case study genre towards biography and presented readers with new insights into the private lives of particular creative artists. Sigmund Freud and his pupil Otto Rank brought contrasting ap- proaches to enquiring into aspects of artistic personality, creativity and oeuvre, partly in an attempt to curb the idealising tendencies of the German reading public.

    Σύμβολου: an Attempt Toward the Early Origins, 1

    Σύμβολου: An attempt toward the early origins, 1 Giuseppe Iurato University of Palermo, IT E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This is the first of a two-part paper in which I would like to propose some possible hypotheses on the early origins of symbolic function, which is the most typical feature of human being, based on disavowal mechanism. Briefly recalling the main stages of the history of symbolism, it will be possible to lay out many of its theories within the framework that we wish to outline with this work, this first part of which is mainly concerned with the basic psychodynamic notion of disavowal and its possible applications, above all in regard to fetishism. One of the main aims of this paper is try to clarify the vexata quæstio on symbolism, its nature and origins. Our original motivation for this comes from mathematics and its role in the sciences: following Eugene P. Wigner (1960), how does one explain the effectiveness1 of this formal and abstract language in natural sciences, like physics? The history of mathematics unfortunately comprises many cases of great mathematicians who have had alternating severe psychotic states with moments of normality and that, out of respect of them, we do not quote here.2 Also recently, specialized research literature has confirmed the existence of a certain correlation between disorders belonging to schizophrenic spectrum (in short, SDS) and mathematical skills and performances3. Now, mathematics intimately relies on symbolic and segnic function, so that it may shed light on these typical human features. Due to this, we would like to put forward the hypothesis according to which the symbolic function might be the simple outcome of the dialectic interplay between two concomitant Ego’s subagencies always present in every human being which, in turn, would be the outcome of an Ego’s splitting mainly according to the last 1938 Freudian thought based on disavowal mechanism4 and supported by the thoughts of other authors, above all H.
