Intrapsychic Perspectives on Personality
PSYCHODYNAMIC PERSPECTIVES ON PERSONALITY This educational CAPPE module is part i in section III: Theories of Human Functioning and Spirituality Written by Peter L. VanKatwyk, Ph.D. Introduction Psychodynamic theory goes back more than 100 years and has been a principal influence in the early history of clinical pastoral education (CPE). It is a way of thinking about personality dynamics in interpreting and understanding both the spiritual care-provider and care-receiver. This module will briefly summarize the basic theory and punctuate psychodynamic concepts that have been significant in the study of psychology of religion and theological reflection in the practice of spiritual care and counselling. Psychodynamic theories presently practiced include in historical sequence the following three schools that will be covered in this module: 1. Ego Psychology, following and extending the classic psychoanalytic theory of Freud, with major representatives in Anna Freud, Heinz Hartmann and Erik Erikson. 2. Object Relations Theory, derived from the work of Melanie Klein and members of the “British School,” including those who are prominent in religious studies and the practice of spiritual care: Ronald Fairbairn, Harry Guntrip, and D.W. Winnicott. 3. Self Psychology, modifying psychoanalytic theory with an interpersonal relations focus, originating in Heinz Kohut, systematized and applied for social work and counselling practice by Miriam Elson. In conjunction these psychodynamic theories offer three main perspectives on personality: 1. the human mind harbors conflict – with powerful unconscious forces that are continually thwarted in expressing themselves by a broad range of counteracting psychological processes and defense mechanisms. 2. each person carries an unconscious internalized world of personal relationships – with mental representations that reflect earlier experiences of self and others which often surface as patterns in current relationships and interpersonal problems. -

Neuroscientists focus on the brain and its impact on behavior and cognitive (thinking) functions. They also investigate what happens to the nervous system when people have neurological, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Sometimes neuroscience and neurobiology are used to mean the same thing. However, neurobiology looks at the biology of the nervous system, while neuroscience refers to anything to do with the nervous system (ibid). These fields of work are intricately connected with medical research. Whereas a psychodynamic approach is more focused on the subjective meaning of what is going on between people and © Patrick Tomlinson 2021 2 between a person’s internal and external worlds. -

Melanie Klein's Concept of Counter-Transference Taken From
7 Melanie Klein’s Concept of Counter-Transference Taken from Unpublished Material Esmeralda Macedo, Carlos Amaral Dias In this essay we discuss the concept of counter-transference based on some of Melanie Klein’s unpublished notes from the archives in the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, in London. Hence, the discussion here incorporates material that has never been published be- fore1. Until 1950 the most commonly accepted conception of counter- -transference was that of Freud, who saw it as an obstacle that should be removed. When Paula Heimann’s ideas became widely known this mechanism started to be seen as an important aid to understanding the patient. Klein always rejected that perspective and remained close to Freud’s ideas. In the 1960s, the works of Bion and Money-Kyrle show that, along with the concept of projective identification, counter-transfe- rence was a valuable tool for understanding the patient in both its patho- logical and benign forms. What we show in this article is that in spite of not having conceptualized her ideas about the subject, Klein’s approach to it was very much in accordance with those authors with respect to the vicissitudes of the therapeutic relationship. 1 Researched by Emeralda Macedo for her PhD thesis prepared under the supervision of Professor Carlos Amaral Dias and Professor Rui Aragão Oliveira (Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada/Universidade Nova de Lisboa, February 2007).

Asya Tsarkova Exploring Clinicians’ Experience of Countertransference in Play Therapy ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore clinicians’ experience of countertransference in play therapy. Through semi-structured individual interviews with twelve clinicians, narrative data was collected on the ways in which clinicians experience, process, and utilize countertransference in play therapy. Some of the findings of this study support previous research and theoretical literature on countertransference in the field of child psychotherapy. Additionally, this study’s findings introduce the possibility that specific aspects of play therapy have a unique effect on the experience and processing of countertransference in play therapy due to the nature of this therapeutic modality. Implications for social work practice highlight the need for -
A Neo-Adlerian Approach Elizabeth K. Baker, MA Adler University
Running head: KLEINIAN THEORY 1 Kleinian Theory: A Neo-Adlerian Approach Elizabeth K. Baker, M. A. Adler University KLEINIAN THEORY 2 Kleinian Theory: A Neo-Adlerian Approach It is commonly believed that Sigmund Freud is the father of modern psychotherapy. However, many forget that Freud did not pioneer the field of psychoanalysis alone (Adler University, n.d.). Freud met Alfred Adler in 1902 and they along with Rudolf Reitler and Wilhelm Stekel started the “Wednesday Night Meetings” (Mosak & Maniacci, 1999). These meetings are credited as being the foundation for the creation of the Psychoanalytic Society (Mosak & Maniacci, 1999). While Freud often viewed Adler and the others as one of his followers, Adler viewed himself as a colleague, which eventually led to Adler leaving the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society, of which Adler was actually the first president and not Freud (Mosak & Maniacci, 1999). According to Ansbacher and Ansbacher (1956), Adler had created his own theory within the Freudian frame, in which Freud incorporated into his theory. Therefore, while many view modern psychotherapy being composed largely as neo-Freudian approaches, in reality these approaches are likely better credited as neo-Adlerian. They are neo-Adlerian because they followed Adler’s basic tenets and not those created by Freud. Within the field of modern psychotherapy there are a number of theoretical approaches. For the purposes of this paper, two approaches will be examined: Kleinian theory (Melanie Klein Trust, 2016) and Adlerian theory, also called Individual Psychology (Mosak and Maniacci, 1999). First, a survey of the major principles of Kleinian theory will be delineated, followed by an explanation of Adlerian theory. -
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. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT It is almost exactly one hundred years since the popular and not merely academic dissemination of Buddhism in the West began. During this time a dialogue has grown up between Buddhism and the Western discipline of psychotherapy. It is the contention of this work that Buddhist philosophy and praxis have much to offer a contemporary psychotherapy. Firstly, in general, for its long history of the experiential exploration of mind and for the practices of cultivation based thereon, and secondly, more specifically, for the relevance and resonance of specific Buddhist doctrines to contemporary problematics. Thus, this work attempts, on the basis of a three-way conversation between Buddhism, psychotherapy and various themes from contemporary discourse, to suggest a psychotherapy that may be helpful and relevant to the current horizons of thought and contemporary psychopathologies which are substantially different from those prevalent at the time of psychotherapy's early years. -
