It focuses on the way in which Freud divides fear and envy between the sexes, allocating the emotion of (castration) fear to men, and that of (penis) envy to women. On the one hand, the problems of this construction are pointed out, but on the other hand, it is shown that even a much-maligned myth may still provide food for thought. Then, four critiques of Freud which have been articulated by prominent feminist psychoanalysts — Karen Horney, Nancy Chodorow, Luce Irigaray, and Jessica Benjamin — are presented, as well as the alternative visions of sexual identities which these thinkers have developed.

    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.

  • 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.

    What canI do? Can hatred be stopped? Will future generations remember the Holocaust? After the Holocaust, why can’t the world stop genocide? What canI do? Am I a bystander? A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires leaders and citizens to confront hatred, prevent genocide, promote human dignity and strengthen democracy. Federal support guarantees the Museum’s permanent place on the National Mall, but its educational programs and global outreach are made possible by the generosity of donors nationwide through annual and legacy giving. 2006–07 | ANNUAL REPORT UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM ushmm.org 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SW Washington, DC 20024-2126 ushmm.org What must be done? What is the Museum’s role in the 21st century? What have we learned from history? From Our Leadership he crimes of the Holocaust were once described as “so calculated, so malignant, and Tso devastating that civilization cannot bear their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.” How do we move from memory to action? When Justice Robert Jackson uttered these words at Nuremberg, could he have possibly imagined that six decades later his assertion would be a matter of doubt? These words marked what seemed to be a pivotal moment, a watershed in which all that followed would remain in the long shadow of the crime. There was a commitment to not ignore, to not repeat. Yet today, we must ask: Have we arrived at another pivotal moment in which the nature of the crime feels quite relevant, yet the commitment to prevent another human tragedy quite hollow? What must be done? What can we do as individuals? As institutions? | FROM OUR LEADERSHIP 1 For us the key question is: What is the role of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum? 2 | CONFRONTING ANTISEMITISM AND DENIAL 16 | PREVENTING GENOCIDE The Museum cannot eliminate evil and hatred.

  • Feminist Studies in Psychology: an Overview Bonnie J
    Research R epot Feminist Studies in Psychology: An Overview Bonnie j. Miller-McLemore most of the history of modern psychology, men more than women ٠٢? speculated about the nature of human growth and fulfillment. Their subjects were most often other men. £ven when women were subjects, conclusions ultimately rested upon male models and ideals, ?sychologists became accustomed to seeing life “through men’s eyes,” as Carol Gilligan has said so well. Women were basically excluded “from critical theory- building studies,” whether of human sexuality, cognitive development, or moral stages.* Likewise, in everyday life, “women’s reality” or ideas and understandings commonly held by women were all too often labeled “sick, bad, crazy, stupid, ugly, or incompetent.” The “White Male Sys- tem,” explained psychotherapist Anne Wilson Schaef, sets the normative agenda for human behavior and health.* Gilligan and Schaef are only a few of the people now churning out research in psychology that challenges the normativity of male experience and provides new understandings of gender, sexuality, selfhood, growth, and fulfillment. This research has only just begun to affect pastoral practice and theological language. Many clergy and other professionals now recognize that they must understand women and men within more inclusive psychological and theological frameworks. Ultimately these new frameworks have the power to transform divine imagery and devotional practices. As requested by the editors of the International Journal of Practical Theology, my intent is to report on this relatively new and growing body of literature in the United States and to indicate some of its implications for practical theology. Since a research report such as this cannot cover all of the publications and trends of the past three decades, I will attempt to provide a taste of the major developments through attention to prominent works.* I will give more attention to early and pivotal works, in part York ١٧^^ :Carol Gilligan, quoted by Francine Frose, Confident at 11, Confused at 16, in 1 .
