  • A NEUROBIOLOGICAL MODEL of PERCEPTION Considerations for Transference
    Psychoanalytic Psychology Copyright 2007 by the American Psychological Association 2007, Vol. 24, No. 4, 623–640 0736-9735/07/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0736-9735.24.4.623 A NEUROBIOLOGICAL MODEL OF PERCEPTION Considerations for Transference David Pincus, DMH Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and Case Western Reserve University Walter Freeman, MD University of California, Berkeley Arnold Modell, MD Harvard Medical School and Boston Psychoanalytic Institute Transference is a key concept in psychoanalysis, distinguishing the analytic treatment from other forms of psychotherapy. In this essay, the authors place transference into the context of a general psychology of human functioning and link it to the neurobiology of perception. The authors briefly review the literature within and outside of psychoanalysis, define transference through the lens of perception, and propose that it is ubiquitous in humans. When not impaired, transference is an adaptive ego function that emerges, along with countertransference, in the context of any interpersonal situation of signif- icant emotional import. The authors draw on W. Freeman’s (2003, 2004) research on olfaction, which has since been replicated in other sensory modalities, for a neurodynamic basis for their model of perception and describe how transference may be thought of as an evolved form of it. The authors’ view is that transference is a hierarchically integrated perceptual modality of a higher order, although it depends on the same neurodynamic processes as those found in each sensory modality.

  • Metaphor in Psychoanalysis: Bane Or Blessing?
    Psychoanalytic Inquiry, 31:90–106, 2011 Copyright © Melvin Bornstein, Joseph Lichtenberg, Donald Silver ISSN: 0735-1690 print/1940-9133 online DOI: 10.1080/07351690.2010.515525 Metaphor in Psychoanalysis: Bane or Blessing? Robert S. Wallerstein, M.D. Since the 1980 book, The Metaphors We Live By, by Lakoff and Johnson, the cognitive–linguistic view of metaphor that they propound has come to be most widely accepted. Its characteristic fea- tures are that (a) metaphor is a property of the concept, not the words; (b) its function is to heighten understanding, not simply artistic or aesthetic; (c) it is often not based on similarity; (d) it is ubiqui- tous in ordinary language, not requiring special talent; and (e) it is an inevitable intrinsic aspect of all human thought and language. This is true of all speech, including the speech in and of psycho- analysis. Metaphor both amplifies and creates meaning. But it can also be misleading and produce conceptual errors of meaning. It should, therefore, not be reified or always taken literally, but should remain flexible and alterable, so that heuristically more relevant and more encompassing metaphor can readily be elaborated. THE MEANING OF METAPHOR Our language of discourse, daily conversation, or literature and essay, has, as far back as it has been recorded, been saturated with metaphor. Zoltán Kövecses (2002), a student of and collaborator with the noted American linguist George Lakoff, in his comprehensive book on metaphor—called a Practical Introduction—calls metaphor a figure of speech that implies a comparison between two unlike entities, though with linking common features.

  • Process Facilitation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Social Work
    Process Facilitation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Social Work Process Facilitation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Social Work elabo- rates a differential theory of therapeutic engagement with full reference not only to psychoanalysis and to psychotherapy but also – surprisingly – to social work. When contemporary social work with the marginalised achieves mutual construc- tive collaboration, social workers characteristically notice an unfolding process. Could this correspond to the ‘analytic process’ of psychoanalysis? Sylvia O’Neill seeks to explain theoretically, and to illustrate clearly in prac- tice, just how a quasi-autonomous therapeutic process becomes established. The theory underpinning the book is Jean-Luc Donnet’s conceptualisation of the establishment of the analytic process in psychoanalysis through introjection of the analytic setting. Donnet designates the psychoanalytic setting as the analytic ‘site’. O’Neill proceeds to trace, by means of detailed clinical discussion, the analogous process by which a viable therapeutic process can become established through created/found discovery and introjection of the relevant ‘site’ or setting in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and in social work. Amongst the most important elements are the practitioner’s internalised theoretical principles. The book demonstrates that unconscious introjection figures more impor- tantly in effective therapeutic engagement than a conscious therapeutic alliance. An important corollary for social work is that, contrary to popular myth, no prior psychological-mindedness is required. The differential theory of Process Facilitation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Social Work is equally rele- vant to psychodynamic counselling. Sylvia O’Neill is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist practising privately in Edinburgh and in the NHS in Glasgow. She trained in psychotherapy at the Tavistock Clinic after practising social work in Melbourne and London.

  • CIRCULAR LETTER #597 Pre-Meeting Spring
    CIRCULAR LETTER #597 Pre-Meeting Spring MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT MARCH 2006 Dear Colleagues: Our Spring Meeting is fast approaching and I hope it is as successful as our 60th Anniversary meeting was. This will be a very unusual meeting because the Board has planned for a strategic planning meeting to take place on Thursday, which will include the Board and the Steering Committee, to take a good look at the organization and to try to figure out the direction of GAP for the next decade. I am sure the entire organization will be buzzing about the “retreat” and everyone will get a chance to voice their opinion and views over the next few months. There are many members who love the organization and find it to be one of the few places where small groups of psychiatrists gather to work on areas of our specialty that need further exploration and explication. We are laid back and yet quite intense, creative, and still product oriented with a deep sense of comradeship, fun loving and still determined to make a mark. There is truly no other psychiatric organization like it in the world. Work in between meetings has picked up and you will hear that we have a lot of good work in the pipeline and our decision to move beyond books to other forms of publication and other media is in keeping with the new electronic age that many of us have, reluctantly, been schlepped into (at least it feels that way to me). In the last few years we have used the term “think tank” more and more frequently and that means we want to use our meetings to think out of the box, to be creative and develop new ideas, to enter new territories, and to truly believe that nothing is off limits.
