  • A Counter-Theory of Transference
    A Counter-Theory of Transference John M. Shlien, Harvard University "Transference" is a fiction, invented and maintained by the therapist to protect himself from the consequences of his own behavior. To many, this assertion will seem an exaggeration, an outrage, an indictment. It is presented here as a serious hypothesis, charging a highly invested profession with the task of re-examining a fundamental concept in practice. It is not entirely new to consider transference as a defense. Even its proponents cast it among the defense mechanisms when they term it a "projection". But they mean that the defense is on the part of the patient. My assertion suggests a different type of defense; denial or distortion, and on the part of the therapist. Mine is not an official position in client-centered therapy. There is none. Carl Rogers has dealt with the subject succinctly, in about twenty pages (1951, pp. 198-217), a relatively brief treatment of a matter that has taken up volumes of the literature in the fleld.[1] "In client-centered therapy, this involved and persistent dependency relationship does not tend to develop" (p. 201), though such transference attitudes are evident in a considerable proportion of cases handled by client-centered therapists. Transference is not fostered or cultivated by this present-time oriented framework where intensive exploration of early childhood is not required, and where the therapist is visible and available for reality resting. While Rogers knows of the position taken here and has, I believe, been influenced by it since its first presentation in 1959, he has never treated the transference topic as an issue of dispute.

  • British Psychoanalysis
    British Psychoanalysis British Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives in the Independent Tradition is a new and extended edition of The British School of Psychoanalysis: The Independent Tradition, which explored the successes and failures of the early environment; transference and counter-transference in the psychoanalytic encounter; regression in the situation of treatment, and female sexuality. Published in the mid-1980s, it had an important influence on the development of psychoanalysis both in Great Britain and abroad, was translated into several languages and became a central textbook in academic and professional courses. This new, updated book includes not only many of the original papers, but also new chapters written for this volume by Hannah Browne, Josh Cohen, Steven Groarke, Gregorio Kohon, Rosine Perelberg and Megan Virtue. Addressing and reflecting on the four main themes of the first collection, the new papers discuss such subjects as: • a new focus on earliest infancy • new directions in Independent clinical thinking • the question of therapeutic regression • the centrality of sexual difference in Freud. They also highlight the connections between and the mutual influence of British and French psychoanalysis, now a critical subject in contem- porary psychoanalytic debates. British Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives in the Independent Tradition will be important not only to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psycho- therapists and the full spectrum of professionals involved in mental health. It will be of great value in psychotherapy and counselling training and an important resource for teaching and academic activities. Gregorio Kohon is a Training Analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society. His psychoanalytic publications include Reflections on the Aesthetic Experience: Psychoanalysis and the Uncanny, published by Routledge in 2016.

Introduction This article represents an attempt to intervene in the current debate between psychoanalysis and feminism and to provide a new perspective in this research field. Over the past few decades, social constructionist approaches have been increasingly influential in feminist and queer studies. The recent feminist theory has shifted its focus to the way in which sex, gender, and sexuality are discursively produced, the process whereby social discourses on sex and gender are organized within a culturally and historically specific context. This “performative” understanding of gender challenges the essentialist notion of the difference between masculinity and femininity as innate, biological one. It is against this background that a number of feminists had recourse to Lacanian psychoanalysis for an anti-essentialist view of sexual difference. There has been a complex and contentious history between feminism and psychoanalysis, which has given rise to a heated theoretical debate on Lacanian psychoanalysis, following the groundbreaking work of Mitchell (1973). Lacan’s work has recently had a powerful influence on feminist appropriations of the psychoanalytic theory and concept. Inspired by Lacanian psychoanalysis, many feminists, including Mitchell (1973), Rose (1987), Brennan (1993), Gallop (1985), Grosz (1990), Wright (2000), Ragland-Sullivan (2004), have highly rated his rejection of Freud’s essentialism, and chosen Lacan’s version of castration and Oedipus complex, thereby shifting their focus from the anatomical and biological difference to the symbolic laws of language.

  • Eroticizing Marx, Revolutionizing Freud: Marcuse's Psychoanalytic Turn
    KRITIKE VOLUME THREE NUMBER ONE (JUNE 2009) 10-23 Article Eroticizing Marx, Revolutionizing Freud: Marcuse’s Psychoanalytic Turn Jeffry V. Ocay he conclusion arrived at in the article titled “Heidegger, Hegel, Marx: Marcuse and the Theory of Historicity,” which appeared in a previous issue of this journal, accounts for Herbert Marcuse’s view of the T 1 possibility of the individual to become disposed to radical action. Marcuse thus wants to suggest that there is still hope for the Enlightenment’s project of “emancipation,” and that there is still a revolutionary subject who can carry out this political struggle for liberation. The progression of consciousness which results in a historically conscious individual exemplified by the “conscious slave” in Hegel’s discussion of master-slave relation provided Marcuse the basis of his claim that the individual can be an active and dynamic political subject. Yet the slave who realizes via the notion of labor that it is himself and not the master who is truly free is, after all, still a slave. This means that individuals still need to fight for their freedom.2 Like Marx, Marcuse believes that the internal logic of overproduction and excessive consumption vis-à-vis massive pauperization3 in a capitalist society lead to the self-destruction of society. The capitalist system of overproduction coupled with excessive consumption creates insatiable individuals whose needs and desires are impossible to satisfy.4 This is dangerous for Marcuse because as the society produces more and more to 1 See Jeffry V.

Sigmund Freud’s (1926e/2002) essay, ‘The Question of Lay Analysis’ is widely cited as an important ‘state of the art’ account of his theory and practice of psychoanalysis in the 1920s, and is still frequently recommended as an introduction to his thinking.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Introduction to Psychoanalysis
    Introduction to Psychoanalysis The psychoanalytic movement has expanded and diversified in many directions over its one hundred year history. Introduction to Psychoanalysis: Contemporary Theory and Practice examines the contributions made by the various schools of thought, explaining the similarities and differences between Contemporary Freudian, Independent, Kleinian, Object Relations, Interpersonal, Self Psychological and Lacanian analysis. The authors address crucial questions about the role of psychoanalysis in psychiatry and look ahead to the future. The book is divided into two parts covering theory and practice. The first part considers theories of psychological development, transference and countertransference, dreams, defence mechanisms, and the various models of the mind. The second part is a practical introduction to psychoanalytic technique with specific chapters on psychoanalytic research and the application of psychoanalytic ideas and methods to treating psychiatric illness. Well referenced and illustrated throughout with vivid clinical examples, this will be an invaluable text for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in psychoanalysis and psychoanaltytic psychotherapy, and an excellent source of reference for students and professionals in psychiatry, psychology, social work, and mental health nursing.
