EBUPT190523.Pdf “William Cornell is among our most brilliant and creative contributors to the theory of psychotherapy integration and to clinical practice. In this new book, he provides a collection of essays that bring to bear a dazzling range of therapeutic and analytic schools of thought. He builds a richly imaginative yet critical integration, infused with his own deeply personal idiom, so that the reader is drawn into an intimate engagement with Cornell's mind. We see how these complex ideas and systems are filtered through one's own unique subjectivity and character and how they may be utilized to benefit the growth and healing of our patients.” Lewis Aron, PhD, Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis, USA “William Cornell claims Transactional Analysis as his ‘home team’ and what a privilege it is to have him playing for us. He has long been a key TA theoretician and practitioner but also critic and challenger. His dual role has been, first to ensure that TA did not become parochial, to keep it lively, and secondly, to let people outside our community know that ‘TA is still very much alive’. This collection charts the process of how he has consistently challenged even the key tenets of TA theory such as ego states and script, both in terms of the inherent contradictions within TA, and by introducing TA to the broader context of modern psychoanalytic thinking, neuroscience and body work. This has been enriching for our own community and allowed people from other disciplines to begin to hear and appreciate TA in a language that is familiar to them. Cornell is not only a good communicator but also a superb translator. However, I think it is in his accounts of his clinical work that Cornell gives of his best. He clearly enjoys his work and his deep love and respect for even the most challenging client is palpable. He never ceases to examine his own thinking and practice and is constantly seeking and learning. We are the fortunate recipients of this journey with his clients. Although many TA therapists may work differently from him they will, I think, readily identify with his commitment to what drew many of us to TA… Berne’s radical, egalitarian and practical view that people are ultimately in charge of their own process of change and have what it takes to make that change. It is up to us to find how we can be useful (or in Cornell’sterms)used in that process.” Diane Salters, ITAA President “In the complex, intense, sometimes murky world of the psychotherapy session, at moments when theory and training prove insufficient, Bill Cornell offers an alternate, powerful source of guidance, within the therapist’s own self. His new book connects his theoretical roots in transactional analysis, neo-Reichian body therapy, and psychoanalysis, with his evolving focus on the therapist’s use of one’s self as a source of understanding of the patient and an instrument of therapeutic change. The theoretical ideas are presented as they play out in the session; as his readers already know, Bill has the gift of story-telling. The case descriptions, including the many ways that impasses can occur, are transparent; the reader can see and feel into the room and inside of Bill himself. As in Freud’sstoriesof Anna O., Frau Emmy von N., Fraulein Elisabeth von R., and Dora, the reader can experience the worlds of Alessia, Kurt, Simone, Ben, Charlie and Abby, the tripartite interaction with Lara and Emily, and the painful failure in the treatment of Samantha. The stories also go beyond most case reports in incorporating the struggles of each participant in the treatment and the growth in each of them. Bill’s stories and his explorations provide a rich source of ideas and observations, not only for clinicians but also for psychotherapy researchers who are seeking to understand the therapeutic process in new ways. In several papers, Bill finds and explores conceptual connections among the script theory of transactional analysis, the psychoanalytic ideas of Bollas, and the theory of multiple coding and the referential process. From my perspective, these connections help to build a new general theory of therapeutic change, incorporating subsymbolic bodily and emotional experience along with symbolic forms, and applicable across treat- ment types. A major take-away for me from this collection of papers is the idea of a ‘vital base’ rather than a secure one, arising from Bill’s acute recognition of the difficulty for all of us - the person in the role of client, the person in the role of mental health professional, the citizens of our country and our world today - to accept the destructive forces, the feelings of hatred, terror, loss and shame that we share. Bill writes about the effects of these feelings, and the damage done by avoiding them, in the context of ideas concerning group psychology and social responsibility that emerged in the writings and work of Freud following WWI, and Berne in the 1960s. It seems necessary to think about these broader ideas and let ourselves confront such feelings as we struggle, in our varying roles and states, with the events of our times.” Wilma Bucci, PhD At the Interface of Transactional Analysis, Psychoanalysis, and Body Psychotherapy At the Interface of Transactional Analysis, Psychoanalysis, and Body Psy- chotherapy revolves around two intertwined themes: that of the critique and expansion of the theory and practice of transactional analysis and that of the generative richness discovered at the intersection of transactional analysis, psychoanalysis, and somatic psychotherapy. William F. Cornell explores the work of psychotherapists and counsellors through the lenses of clinical theory, practice, supervision, and ethics. The reader is thus invited into a more vivid experience of being engaged and touched by this work’s often deep, and at times difficult, intimacy. The book is grounded in the approaches of contemporary transactional analysis and psycho- analysis, using detailed case discussions to convey the flesh of these profes- sional, and yet all too human, working relationships. Attention is paid to the force and richness of the transferential and countertransferential tensions that pervade and enliven the therapeutic process. Unconscious processes are viewed as fundamentally creative and life-seeking, with the vital functions of fantasy, imagination, and play brought into the foreground. In the era of short-term, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused, and evi- dence-based models of counselling and psychotherapy, At the Interface of Transactional Analysis, Psychoanalysis, and Body Psychotherapy seeks to demonstrate the power and creativity of longer-term, dynamically oriented work. William F. Cornell maintains an independent private practice of psychother- apyandconsultationinPittsburgh,PA.Hehasdevotedmorethan40years to the study and integration of transactional analysis, psychoanalysis, and somatic psychotherapy.

  • TRIGANT BURROW, PIONEER of GROUP ANALYSIS by Juan Campos Avillar Introduction
    TRIGANT BURROW, PIONEER OF GROUP ANALYSIS by Juan Campos Avillar The world capital of Psychiatry at the beginning of the twentieth century was not in Vienna but in Introduction Zürich, and its Papa was Professor Bleuler of the Burghölzli Clinic. It is from there and through students of Bleuler that the interest in psychoanalysis was spread and even arrived at the other side of the Atlantic. After the first meeting of Freudian Psychologists in Salzburg, Freud, Jung and Ferenzci, invited by Stanley Hall, travel to America. From there they bring the first native American who decides to go to Zürich to be analyzed and to train with Jung: Trigant Burrow. The latter, also a ‘man of the laboratory’, is a physician from Baltimore, with a doctorate in experimental psychology from Johns Hopkins, and who in that year of 1909 had just arrived at the New York Psychiatric Institute to do his training in Psychiatry with Adolf Meyer, in turn student of Bleuler emigrated to the United States. It is during the stay of Trigant Burrow in Switzerland that the International Psychoanalytic Association is founded, admitting individual members as well as local societies. Upon his return to the States, Trigant Burrow, with a small group of colleagues spread over the American continent, founds in 1911 the American Psychoanalytic Association, first organization of national character which includes in turn local societies. In 1925 Burrow, then President of that Association, presents at the Congress of Bad Homburg of the International Psychoanalytic Association his “Laboratory Method in Psychoanalysis”, also coined by him as “Group Method of Analysis”.

  • FREUD and the PROBLEM with MUSIC: a HISTORY of LISTENING at the MOMENT of PSYCHOANALYSIS a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty
    FREUD AND THE PROBLEM WITH MUSIC: A HISTORY OF LISTENING AT THE MOMENT OF PSYCHOANALYSIS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michelle R. Duncan May 2013 © 2013 Michelle R. Duncan FREUD AND THE PROBLEM OF MUSIC: A HISTORY OF LISTENING AT THE MOMENT OF PSYCHOANALYSIS Michelle R. Duncan, Ph. D. Cornell University 2013 An analysis of voice in performance and literary theory reveals a paradox: while voice is generally thought of as the vehicle through which one expresses individual subjectivity, in theoretical discourse it operates as a placeholder for superimposed content, a storage container for acquired material that can render the subjective voice silent and ineffectual. In grammatical terms, voice expresses the desire or anxiety of the third rather than first person, and as such can be constitutive of both identity and alterity. In historical discourse, music operates similarly, absorbing and expressing cultural excess. One historical instance of this paradox can be seen in the case of Sigmund Freud, whose infamous trouble with music has less to do with aesthetic properties of the musical art form than with cultural anxieties surrounding him, in which music becomes a trope for differences feared to potentially “haunt” the public sphere. As a cultural trope, music gets mixed up in a highly charged dialectic between theatricality and anti-theatricality that emerges at the Viennese fin- de-Siècle, a dialectic that continues to shape both German historiography and the construction of modernity in contemporary scholarship.

Cornell Working draft submitted to Transactional Analysis Journal, 8/15 You do not know what wars are going on Down there where the spirit meets the bone (Miller Williams, 1999) Abstract: This article examines the century-long pairing of international wars with periods of resurgent interest in group psychotherapy and community based treatment. The group-centered theories of Freud, Burrow, Bion, Foulkes, and Berne are discussed and used to examine the qualities of group process and structure that enhance the capacity of members to work with conflict, difference, and societal projection. Key words: group psychotherapy, group-analysis, transactional analysis, Freud, Burrow, Bion, Foulkes, Berne, war, community War: The rending and reviving of societal relations There is a powerful and rather surprising pairing of the outbreak of major wars followed by experiments in group and community treatment. Though the international violence over the past century has often severed civilized ties, these periods of violent slaughter have then often engendered efforts of redress and restoration through group and community life. Through my many years of teaching and training in the mental health field, I have come to see the importance of studying the historical contexts within which the theories that inform our practices developed. I have also come to believe that the theories that form our work are efforts of marginalized individuals and their communities to make the unbearable bearable and to create spaces and places of belonging.

  • August Aichhorn „Der Beginn Psychoanalytischer Sozialarbeit“
    soziales_kapital wissenschaftliches journal österreichischer fachhochschul-studiengänge soziale arbeit Nr. 12 (2014) / Rubrik "Geschichte der Sozialarbeit" / Standort Graz Printversion: http://www.soziales-kapital.at/index.php/sozialeskapital/article/viewFile/332/579.pdf Thomas Aichhorn: August Aichhorn „Der Beginn psychoanalytischer Sozialarbeit“ Es mag verwundern, den Beginn der psychoanalytischen Sozialarbeit mit einer Person – August Aichhorn – zu verknüpfen, die in der Regel eher der Pädagogik als der Sozialarbeit zugerechnet wird. Ich berufe mich dabei auf Ernst Federn1, der selbst Sozialarbeiter war und Aichhorn gut kannte. Er behauptete kurz und bündig: „Psychoanalytische Sozialarbeit […] begann mit der Betreuung delinquenter und verwahrloster Jugendlicher in den 20iger Jahren durch August Aichhorn in Wien.“2 Und in seiner Arbeit „August Aichhorns’s work as a contribution to the theory and practice of Case Work Therapy“3 hatte er geschrieben: „Jeder, der nach Konzepten für die Sozialarbeit sucht und hofft, Anregungen dazu in Freuds Entdeckungen zu finden, sollte zunächst und vor allem die Arbeiten des Mannes lesen und studieren, der sein Leben nicht nur der Anwendung der Psychoanalyse auf die Sozialarbeit gewidmet hat, sondern der auch der erste Sozialarbeiter war, der zugleich Psychoanalytiker gewesen ist. Man sollte sich auch daran erinnern, dass er als Person und in seiner Arbeit von Freud selbst uneingeschränkt unterstützt wurde“ (ebd.: 17f).4 Die Auffassung, was Sozialarbeit sei, war und ist, ist abhängig vom gesellschaftlich- politischen Rahmen, in dem sie stattfindet. Aichhorn war sich nur zu gut der Tatsache bewusst, dass er sich mit seinem Arbeitsansatz in eklatantem Widerspruch zu allen politischen Systemen der Zeit befand, in der er lebte und arbeitete. Er war zwar verschiedentlich in amtlicher Stellung tätig, aber keiner seiner Vorgesetzten hatte jemals seine Arbeit unterstützt.

The very people of Paris follow the processions of the goddess of reason and are not satiated watching the action of the guillotine. The People themselves? (Zambrano, 1958) Abstract. This essay presents a balance that hopes to show that despite the impasse between dissimilar dis- courses, the Freudo-Marxist mission does allow us to salvage its philosophical and practical program so as to continue rethinking the postures that led to the difficult encounter between two discourses: psychoanalysis and Marxism, their theoretical principles and their political consequences. This approach demands the dis- cussion of four moments: 1) the Freudo-Marxist pronouncement; 2) Wilheim Reich’s Sex-Pol mission; 3) Gér- ard Pommier’s Freudo-Marxism; and 4) its political legacy.
