  • British Psychoanalysis
    British Psychoanalysis British Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives in the Independent Tradition is a new and extended edition of The British School of Psychoanalysis: The Independent Tradition, which explored the successes and failures of the early environment; transference and counter-transference in the psychoanalytic encounter; regression in the situation of treatment, and female sexuality. Published in the mid-1980s, it had an important influence on the development of psychoanalysis both in Great Britain and abroad, was translated into several languages and became a central textbook in academic and professional courses. This new, updated book includes not only many of the original papers, but also new chapters written for this volume by Hannah Browne, Josh Cohen, Steven Groarke, Gregorio Kohon, Rosine Perelberg and Megan Virtue. Addressing and reflecting on the four main themes of the first collection, the new papers discuss such subjects as: • a new focus on earliest infancy • new directions in Independent clinical thinking • the question of therapeutic regression • the centrality of sexual difference in Freud. They also highlight the connections between and the mutual influence of British and French psychoanalysis, now a critical subject in contem- porary psychoanalytic debates. British Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives in the Independent Tradition will be important not only to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psycho- therapists and the full spectrum of professionals involved in mental health. It will be of great value in psychotherapy and counselling training and an important resource for teaching and academic activities. Gregorio Kohon is a Training Analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society. His psychoanalytic publications include Reflections on the Aesthetic Experience: Psychoanalysis and the Uncanny, published by Routledge in 2016.

  • Σύμβολου: an Attempt Toward the Early Origins, 1
    Σύμβολου: An attempt toward the early origins, 1 Giuseppe Iurato University of Palermo, IT E-mail: giuseppe.iurato@community.unipa.it 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.

  • The Impostor Anticipates the Truth of the Other
    The Impostor Anticipates the Truth of the Other Jochem Willemsen, Reitske Meganck, Eline Trenson Department of Psychoanalysis and Clinical Consulting Ghent University, Henri Dunantlaan 2, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium Tel: 0032.92.64.91.15 Fax: 0032.92.64.64.88 Email: Jochem.Willemsen@Ugent.be Abstract In this paper, we will elaborate on an article by Hélène Deutsch on the psychology of the impostor. The impostor is a specific type of liar who imposes on others dishonest stories about his identity. From a psychoanalytic point of view, identity is by definition fraudulent as there is no real Self. But the impostor duplicates this fraud by presenting dishonest stories about personal attainments, position, or worldly possessions. Referring to Freud’s text on ‘Two lies told by children,’ we will demonstrate that in the neurotic subject (a) the motive for lying is love, and (b) the purpose of lying is to deny symbolic castration in order to preserve an imaginary ideal. The impostor takes this one step further: here the motive is not love but admiration, and the purpose is not denial but disavowal of the symbolic castration. Finally, we will discuss the ambivalent relation of the public towards the impostor that seems all too willing to be deceived. In that sense, the lies of the impostor anticipate the Other’s truth about castration. Keywords: Impostor - Identity - Perverse structure - Hélène Deutsch - Lie 1. Introduction There is a long tradition of studies in criminological, psychiatric, and psychoanalytic literature on the personality type of the imposture. Probably there is no other type of offender that has been conceived so often as a specific offender-type.

  • Psychobiology, Psychiatry, and Psychoanalysis: the Intersecting Careers of Adolf Meyer, Phyllis Greenacre, and Curt Richter
    Medical History, 2009, 53: 5–36 Psychobiology, Psychiatry, and Psychoanalysis: The Intersecting Careers of Adolf Meyer, Phyllis Greenacre, and Curt Richter ANDREW SCULL and JAY SCHULKIN* Introduction By common consent, Adolf Meyer (1866–1950) was the most prominent and influen- tial American psychiatrist of the first half of the twentieth century. Particularly after his appointment to Johns Hopkins, as its first professor of psychiatry, he dominated psychia- try in the United States until his retirement in 1941.1 But his influence was almost equally strong in Britain, where his pragmatism and therapeutic eclecticism had a wide appeal.2 In this paper, we examine some central aspects of Meyer’s life and work, and focus particularly on his role as a mentor and patron of the research and careers of two other major figures in twentieth-century psychiatry and psychobiology, broadly conceived. The first of these, Phyllis Greenacre (1894–1989), worked closely with Meyer from 1916, when she graduated from Chicago Rush medical school and joined his staff at Hopkins, till her abrupt departure from Baltimore in late 1927. For the next decade, Meyer continued to play an important role in her life and career, though to his dismay she was now progressively abandoning his distinctive type of psychiatry for psychoana- lysis. Completing that process of intellectual transition just as Freud’s followers were moving to a position of institutional and theoretical dominance in American psychiatry, Greenacre rose to remarkable prominence in those circles, one of the few non-refugee analysts to become part of the psychoanalytic elite. Curt Richter (1894–1988) was still another promising young scientist attracted to Meyer’s circle, initially through a decision to move from Harvard to Johns Hopkins to work with the founder of behaviourist psychology, John B Watson.

  • By Phyllis Greenacre, MD
    Greenacre, P. (1956). Re-Evaluation of the Process of Working Through. Int. J. Psycho-Anal., 37:439- 444 Re-Evaluation of the Process of Working Through [1] by Phyllis Greenacre, M.D. The process of working through has held positions of varying importance and significance in the development of psycho-analytic therapy. Just at present one hears it referred to relatively little, and as a specific principle in technique it does not attract very much attention. Indeed, students rarely use the term, and sometimes seem uncertain as to its meaning. This may be due in part to the fact that the process of working through is now largely subsumed in other technical procedures. But there may also be some lessening in emphasis on its value. There are certain cases, however, and some situations in many cases in which a sound and thorough working through is essential for a sustained therapeutic result. A consideration of these is the topic for discussion at present. In the early days of psycho-analytic treatment, when it was still within nodding distance of hypnotic therapy, the aims of therapy were especially the recovery of infantile traumatic memories and their abreaction through repetition, first in the hypnotic, subsequently in the psycho-analytic relationship. It was observed that the specific reliving of the disturbing experience relieved the associated conflict-bound emotional tension more than educative discussions concerning disturbed feelings could possibly do. Certainly in the re-living, the patient may more nearly admit the full emotional resonance to consciousness, whereas in discussions dealing with the disturbance in general or in incompletely specific terms, some degree of defensive distance may be maintained.

PREFACE ON THE OCCASION OF THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF SIGMUND FREUD’S BIRTH The year 2006 marks the 150th anniversary of Sigmund Freud’s birth, a welcome opportunity to commemorate and celebrate the life of the founder of psychoanalysis. Throughout the year, a variety of events supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Sigmund Freud Privatstiftung, including symposia, lectures, and exhibitions, will explore the life and work of this famous Austrian. A special website with information on all these activities is available at http://www.freud-institut.com/ The anniversary also offers a perfect opportunity to publish a special bro- chure on Freud and his theories. For this purpose, Edith Kurzweil, author of several books on Freudianism, including Freudians and Feminists and The Freud- ians: A Comparative Perspective, and (as editor) Our Century, Our Culture and Literature and Psychoanalysis, agreed to write an essay on the “Conquistador of the Unconscious.” The Federal Ministry for Foreign Affairs hopes that readers will enjoy this publication, richly illustrated with photographs from Freud’s life, some of which were rarely exhibited.

  • Σύμβολου: an Attempt Toward the Early Origins, 2
    Σύμβολου: An attempt toward the early origins, 2 Giuseppe Iurato University of Palermo, IT E-mail: giuseppe.iurato@community.unipa.it Abstract. In continuation of what has been said in the first part of this two-part paper, herein we present further considerations on symbolism, reconsider some related psychodynamic case reports with some possible variants about their interpretations, and will apply what is said to some further speculations on mathematical symbolism and thought. In this second part, we continue with the numeration of the first part Σύμβολου, 1. 5. On symbolism: further considerations 5.1. On sign and symbol. Following Harré, Lamb and Mecacci (1983), in psychology, a sign is considered to have a symbolic nature when we are not interested in its referential meaning but, rather, in the content borne by it, whose communicative aim, being a psychological factor, could be unconscious. In the psychological context, the symbol should be considered in a different manner to the sign, and the content should be considered in a different way to the referent, the latter being correlated to the sign through the reference relationship, whereas the content is correlated to the symbol through the unconscious component of the former. All that is in agreement with the Jungian theory of symbolism according to which reference and use of signs of direct thought should be ascribed to the action of conscious thought, whereas symbols should be attributed to the joint and inseparable action of conscious and unconscious thought.1 Moreover, according to these authors, there is a strict connection between the symbolic usage of signs and altered states of consciousness, the latter being seen as more desirable because they allow us to bypass the ordinary vigil (often unpleasant and anxiogenic organization of the Ego.
