  • MCPP Syllabi 10-11
    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. Week 1: September 13—Introduction: Empathy and the Contribution of Self Psychology to Psychoanalysis *Kohut, H. (1981, reprinted 2010) On Empathy.

The person behind this pseud- onym may seem familiar to many; after all, “Wolf Man” is the name offered by sigmund Freud to a patient whose case he discussed in his study of 1918, “From the History of an infantile Neurosis” (“Aus der Geschichte einer infantilen Neurose” ). This text is, in turn, one of Freud’s most famous case studies as it offers a new outline of Freud’s thoughts on human development and psychoanalytic theory. indeed, not only Freud, but also his patient, was well aware of the significance of this work. The Wolf Man was therefore willing to disclose his “real” identity, to confess to being sergius Pankejeff, not only a former patient of the famous Viennese doctor, but one who had contributed to the development of the psychoanalytic discipline. in contrast to bertha Pappenheim (Freud’s and Joseph breuer’s patient “anna O.”) or ida bauer (Freud’s patient “Dora”), Pankejeff did not seek to hide behind the pseudonym. He did not seek to retreat from public view, but wrote his memoirs instead.1 although Pankejeff had worked for many years after the second World War as an employee in an insurance agency, he saw his profession as that of an academic painter.2 He had, though, never attended an art academy.

  • 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
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-07239-8 — Cold War Freud Dagmar Herzog Excerpt More Information 1 INTRODUCTION Cold War Freud addresses the uneasy encounters of Freudian theories about desire, anxiety , aggression , guilt , trauma , and pleasure – and the very nature of the human self and its motivations – with the calamitous events of World War II and beyond. While psychoanalysis is often taken to be ahistorical in its view of human nature, the oppo- site is the case. The impact of epochal historical transformations on psychoanalytic premises and practices is particularly evident in the postwar decades. This was precisely when psychoanalysis gained the greatest traction, across the West, within medicine and mainstream belief alike. For in the course of the second half of the twentieth cen- tury, psychoanalytic thinking came consequentially to inl ect virtually all other thought- systems – from the major religious traditions to the social science disciplines and from conventional advice literature to radical political protest movements. Psychoanalysis, in all its unruly complexity, became an integral part of twentieth- century social and intellectual history. The heyday of intellectual and popular preoccupation with psychoanalysis reached from the 1940s to the 1980s – from postwar conservative consolidation to delayed- reaction engagement with the legacies of Nazism and the Holocaust , from the anti- Vietnam War movement and the concomitant inversion of generational and moral alignments to the confrontation with new Cold War dictatorships , and from the sexual revolution and the rise of women’s and gay rights to an intensii ed interest in learning from formerly colonized peoples in © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-07239-8 — Cold War Freud Dagmar Herzog Excerpt More Information 2 2 / Cold War Freud an – only unevenly – postcolonial world.

  • The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco
    Benveniste, D. (2006) The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco. Psychoanalysis and History. 8(2) July 2006. The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco Daniel Benveniste, Ph.D. Caracas, Venezuela The early history of psychoanalysis in San Francisco formally begins with the opening of Alfred Kroeber’s psychoanalytic office in 1918 and ends with the death of Siegfried Bernfeld in 1953. Between those years, San Francisco witnessed a small group of Americans and European émigrés coming together and creating the foundation of psychoanalysis in San Francisco. The issues dominating the day were those of lay analysis, psychoanalytic training models and World War II. Within this small psychoanalytic community, there were a number of extremely creative analysts who, along with the rest, participated in some rare moments in which a creative and ecumenical spirit prevailed and others in which divisiveness limited them. Without a historical context, those of us in the depth psychologies tend to become arrogant and assert the ahistorical and timeless truth of our views. We fall victim to "the narcissism of minor differences" and project our dreaded other onto the various others around us whether they be pop psychology innovators, old guard upholders of the dogma, or just our theoretical cousins. But psychoanalysis is not a natural science. It is a historical science. Nathan Adler used to say, "Every generation must rediscover psychoanalysis for itself." And I would add that we must contextualize our discoveries and re-discoveries in the social, historical and economic moment in which we are situated. There are many reasons for recalling the early history of the depth psychologies in San Francisco.
