Scope and Content Note The papers of Bertram David Lewin (1896-1971) span the years 1883-1974, with the bulk of the material dating from 1927 to 1970. The collection documents Lewin's contributions to psychoanalysis in the United States through his writings, teaching, and involvement in various psychoanalytic organizations. The papers consist of correspondence, diaries, biographical data, reports, surveys, speeches and writings, school papers, certificates, legal documents, and photographs. The collection is organized into five series: Family and School Papers , General Correspondence , Subject File , Writings File , and Oversize . Lewin was born in 1896 in Victoria, Texas, the son of Samuel Lewin, a German immigrant, and Justine Levy, a Texas native. Following his 1916 graduation from the University of Texas in Austin, Lewin enrolled in Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore, Maryland, where he studied with psychiatrist Adolf Meyer. Lewin received his medical degree in 1920 and, after completing his residency in Baltimore, worked for several years with Charles B. Dunlap at the New York Psychiatric Institute on Ward's Island. Like many early students of psychoanalysis, Lewin spent several years in Europe attending classes, working on supervised cases, and undergoing analysis. During his time in Europe between 1926 and 1927, Lewin worked first with Paul Schuster in the Friedrich Wilhelm Krankenhaus and later attended the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. In 1927 Lewin returned to New York where he established a practice in psychiatry and psychoanalysis. Upon his return to the United States, Lewin became active in several psychoanalytic institutions. In 1931 Lewin became one of the founders of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, whose curriculum was closely modeled on that of the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. A year later, he established the Psychoanalytic Quarterly with Gregory Zilboorg, Franwood E. Williams, and Dorian Feigenbaum. Lewin remained on the periodical's editorial board until his death in 1971. Lewin served as president of the New York Psychoanalytic Society from 1936 to 1937 and of the American Psychoanalytic Association from 1946 to 1947. Bertram D. Lewis Papers 4 Many of Lewin's writings became standard psychoanalytic texts. His early works focus on compulsive character, the body as phallus, claustrophobia, and hypomania. Later writings deal particularly with the psychology of dreams and elation. Fluent in German and Spanish, Lewin also translated works by Franz Alexander, Karl Abraham, Otto Fenichel, and Angel Garma. In 1955 he accepted the directorship of the American Psychoanalytic Association's survey of psychoanalytic education. Lewin and Helen Ross, the project's associate director, published their findings in Psychoanalytic Education in the United States in 1960. Mixed reaction to the way in which the survey was conducted and to its final report led to Lewin and Ross's resignations in 1961. For the next ten years, until his death in 1971, Lewin taught psychology and psychoanalysis at the University of Pittsburgh. The Family and School Papers include family correspondence, legal documents, and genealogical information. Among the earliest material is an autograph book kept by Lewin's mother, Justine Levy, between 1883 and 1888, and a set of diaries and photographs recording a trip taken by Lewin and his parents to Europe in 1910. The series also contains student papers, including class notes and other material, from Lewin's undergraduate work at the University of Texas and medical studies at Johns Hopkins University. This

  • 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.

  • Danto: the Ambulatorium: Freud's Free Clinic in Vienna
    The Ambulatorium: Freud's Free Clinic in Vienna Elizabeth Ann Danto At the close of World War I, Freud proposed the creation of clinics providing free treatment, in the first of a series of politically liberal statements promoting the development of a kind of institution that is rarely associated with psychoanalysis today. Using archival and oral history research methods, this study offers a descriptive and statistical history of the Vienna Ambulatorium, the free psychoanalytic clinic and child guidance centre created—we can now surmise—under Freud's direction. Presented within the cultural context of central Europe's inter-war rush of progressivism in 'Red Vienna' and in Germany's Weimar Republic, little-known aspects of the history of psychoanalysis emerge. From 1922 to 1936, the staff of the Ambulatorium treated gratis patients of all ages and social classes, ranging from professional to unemployed. Candidates too were analysed at no cost. Reflecting the urban energy of his era, Freud believed that psychoanalysis could be both productive and free of cost. What emerges is an unexpectedly activist, community-oriented profile of some of the earliest participants in the psychoanalytic movement. In an extraordinary series of speeches and writings between 1918 and 1935, Freud took the politically liberal step of sanctioning the development of free clinics. In a crucial keynote address to the Fifth Congress of the International Psychoanalytical Association, held in Budapest in September 1918, Freud proposed the formation of: 'institutions or out-patient clinics ... where ... treatment will be free', stating that: it is possible to foresee that the conscience of society will awake and remind it that the poor man should have just as much right to assistance for his mind as he now has to the life-saving help offered by surgery; and that the neuroses threaten public health no less than tuberculosis, and can be left as little as the latter to the impotent care of individual members of the community.

  • A Brief History of the British Psychoanalytical Society
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BRITISH PSYCHOANALYTICAL SOCIETY Ken Robinson When Ernest Jones set about establishing psychoanalysis in Britain, two intertwining tasks faced him: establishing the reputation of psychoanalysis as a respectable pursuit and defining an identity for it as a discipline that was distinct from but related to cognate disciplines. This latter concern with identity would remain central to the development of the British Society for decades to come, though its inflection would shift as the Society sought first to mark out British psychoanalysis as having its own character within the International Psychoanalytical Association, and then to find a way of holding together warring identities within the Society. Establishing Psychoanalysis: The London Society Ernest Jones’ diary for 1913 contains the simple entry for October 30: “Ψα meeting. Psycho-med. dinner” (Archives of the British Psychoanalytical Society, hereafter Archives). This was the first meeting of the London Psychoanalytical Society. In early August Jones had returned to London from ignominious exile in Canada after damaging accusations of inappropriate sexual conduct in relation to children. Having spent time in London and Europe the previous year, he now returned permanently, via Budapest where from June he had received analysis from Ferenczi. Once in London he wasted no time in beginning practice as a psychoanalyst, seeing his first patient on the 14th August (Diary 1913, Archives), though he would soon take a brief break to participate in what would turn out to be a troublesome Munich Congress in September (for Jones’s biography generally, see Maddox [2006]). Jones came back to a London that showed a growing interest in unconscious phenomena and abnormal psychology.

  • Grief and Mourning in Infancy and Early Childhood INTRODUCTION
    (1960). Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, 15:9-52 Grief and Mourning in Infancy and Early Childhood John Bowlby, M.D. INTRODUCTION In a previous paper, that on "Separation Anxiety" (1960), I sketched briefly the sequence of responses to be observed when young children are removed from their mothers and placed with strangers. After delineating the three phases—Protest, Despair, Detachment3—I pointed out that "the phase of Protest raises the problem of separation anxiety; Despair that of grief and mourning; Detachment that of defense. The thesis to be advanced is that the three responses—separation anxiety, grief and mourning, and defense—are phases of a single process and that when treated as such each illumines the other two." The hypothesis advanced there to account for separation anxiety was a corollary of the one advanced in an earlier paper to account for the child's tie to his mother (Bowlby, 1958b). In that paper it was suggested that the child's tie is best conceived as the outcome of a number of instinctual response systems, mostly nonoral in character, which are a part of the inherited behavior repertoire of man; when they are activated and the mother figure is available, attachment behavior results. In the paper on separation anxiety I suggested that, when they are activated and the mother figure is temporarily unavailable, separation anxiety and protest behavior follow. In this and the succeeding papers I shall advance the view that grief and mourning occur in infancy whenever the responses ————————————— 1 Part of an earlier draft of this paper was read before the British Psycho-Analytical Society in October, 1959.

  • The Complex Phenomenon of Denial
    ONE The Complex Phenomenon of Denial abstract: Freud drew attention to the puzzling phenomenon of denial in many passages of his work. He focused on some of the contradictory aspects of the phenomenon in an article published in 1925. In that same article Freud theo- rized about a number of characteristics in human beings that one must postu- late in order to do justice to these many puzzling and contradictory aspects of denial. One of the strongest conclusions that Freud made was the claim that negation is a precondition for human freedom. I will present Freud’s ideas, but I will also demonstrate that his analysis is incomplete. In particular, Freud, in his crucial article on denial (“Negation” 1925), did not analyze the arduous work required to undo fully a denial and its consequences. In particular Freud did not draw attention to the need for acts of separation from primary care givers and for the creation of metaphoric moves in order to free oneself from the contradictions inherent in denials. INTRODUCTION In this chapter I will present Freud’s analysis of the puzzling phenomenon of denial, which consists of simultaneously denying and revealing the truth. Thus, when a patient answers that the female figure in his dream is not his mother, Freud interprets the answer as revealing that it really is his mother (Freud, S.E., XIX, 235).1 Or when a patient boasts that it is pleasant not to have had her headaches for so long, Freud interprets this as signaling that the attack is not far off (Ibid.

  • Psychotherapy of the Depressed Patient1 Walter Bonime, M.D
    (1982) Contemp. Psychoanal., 18:173-189 Psychotherapy of the Depressed Patient1 Walter Bonime, M.D. THERE IS A TRADITION OF EXCEPTIONAL difficulty in the psychoanalysis or other psychotherapy of depressives. Edith Jacobson (1954) spoke of a more intensive affective involvement with them. She referred to intervening with a "spontaneous gesture of kindness or even a brief expression of anger, " but wisely added, "… since these patients are frequently very provocative and exasperating, such a deliberate show of emotional responses naturally presupposes the most careful self-scrutiny and self-control in the analyst." Sullivan (1954) commented on the depressive's functioning as particularly difficult to comprehend and deal with, the person "remaining, " as he expressed it, "most remarkably obscure and unknown." Freud (1959) found in the depressive "an attitude of revolt, " which is a formidable barrier to productive therapeutic collaboration. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann (1959) noted the depressive's "lack of interpersonal sensitivity, " which we can recognize as an emphatic hindrance in exploring interpersonal experience; she may also have been referring to a quality in the depressive which Freud (1959) characterized as "incapable of love." Despite the distinguished status of the analysts here referred to, and many more could be quoted to confirm the arduousness of working with depressed people, I feel safe in suggesting, as the most impactful single reference to cite, one's own personal professional experience. This sketchily indicates a consensus regarding an inherent difficulty in psychotherapeutic approaches to the depression prone person. There is, however, an additional complication because of considerable divergence of views regarding the nature of and dynamics involved in depression (reviewed by Arieti and Bemporad 1978) ; (and Mendelson 1974).
