This volume presents the work of 14 modem analytic theorists. The clear influence of Freud’s ideas is deeply reflected in various ways throughout this book and, although many of the theorists presented are at varying degrees of agreement with each other and Freud, they are all basically informed by the original genius of Sigmund Freud. Indeed, the title of this volume, Beyond Freud, intends in no way to disparage the originality of psychoanalysis. Instead, it intends to demonstrate how Freud’s thinking and how the Freudian text have been used to expand ideas beyond Freud. That the work of two philosophers who have been attracted to Freud is included is a living testament to that profound genius and vision. Beyond Freud grew out of my interest in the evolution of psychoanalytic theory, the history of ideas, and in my study of comparative psychoanalysis. This interest was expanded by my editorship of the Review of Psychoanalytic Books. As editor of the Review I have witnessed an even greater expansion of Freudian thought as well as an enormity of work in applied psychoanalysis informed by a Freudian perspective. The inclusion of these 14 theorists is not intended to diminish the contributions of others. Erik Erikson, Melanie Klein, Anna Freud, the interpersonal school, many mainstream Freudians, the major ego psychologists, Winnicott and other object relations theorists are not included in this volume because their writing is either not recent or there is already a considerable body of literature on their work. Not every scholar/theorist included in this book is a practicing psychoanalyst, but all are modem, vital, and informed; and, most importantly, their work continues to enlighten, enrich, and influence younger analysts and students. In fact, these 14 theorists are of such considerable intellectual influence, an influence beyond clinical analysis, that my choice was made quite easily. Each theorist provides a unique vision of contemporary psychoanalysis that should endure for some time. In most instances, the author of the chapter on the psychoanalytic theorist has known the theorist about whom they write or has been deeply involved in their work as a part of their own professional life. In one case, the author is a co-worker, in another a former analysand, and so on, so that there is an intimate and deep connection. While this book was in its planning stages, an Epilogue was to be included to show where the future of psychoanalytic theory might be headed. However, in thinking about this over a long time I decided to exclude an Epilogue and to leave speculations about future directions up to the reader. I felt that it would be presumptuous to speculate as to where psychoanalysis is heading. This book is thus an introduction to modern psychoanalytic theorists who have gone beyond Freud and an opportunity for the reader to draw conclusions of their own. I hope that the reader will read this book in an open-minded way, not as advocacy but as information. Certainly, there is a clash of ideas and theories in this volume, and the welter of schisms, schools, and factions in psychoanalysis are well presented. The natural science/hermeneutic debate can be clearly viewed in this work. The Epilogue might have expressed a hope for a more pluralistic, integrative psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is a new science compared to the older natural and physical sciences, and, as an infant science, it is still evolving. Psychoanalytic theory fifty years from now may be quite different than it is today, informed perhaps by computer models and other discoveries as yet unknown in science and philosophy. Finally, I would like to gratefully thank each of the authors who has written a chapter in this book. They have done so with enthusiasm and intelligence, and represent the highest levels of psychoanalytic scholarship. They are scholars writing about scholars. That there are so many independent lines of thought within psychoanalysis is proof, perhaps, of all the possible ways in which man may be viewed and to the incredible richness of the Freudian endeavor which inspires in so many ways. Perhaps the seeming confusion we see may one day develop into a more integrative, informed, sophisticated, pluralistic psychoanalysis that might return us more deeply to the original power of Freud within a truly modern context. In the meantime, I hope Beyond Freud will be informative of the present provocative clash of ideas and of the dialogue and dialectic of Freudian inspired thought. Joseph Reppen, Ph.D. 1 JOHN BOWLBY: AN ETHOLOGICAL BASIS FOR PSYCHOANALYSIS VICTORIA HAMILTON The work of an original thinker often calls to mind a key idea: Darwin’s “survival of the fittest,” Einstein’s “relativity,” or Freud and “sexuality.” We associate John Bowlby with his lifelong study of the crucial role played by attachment and its corollorary, loss, in human development. He has assembled his major work in three volumes entitled Attachment (1969), Separation (1973), and Loss (1980). Bowlby’s ‘Attachment Theory,’ together with the view of separation and mourning that it incorporates, is as novel to the study of human relationships as Darwin’s theory was to the study of evolution. Yet Bowlby’s (1979a) work is based upon and reflects the most obvious features of everyday life. Family doctors, priests, and perceptive laymen have long been aware that there are few blows to the human spirit so great as the loss of someone near and dear. Traditional wisdom knows that we can be crushed by grief and die of a broken heart, and also that a jilted lover is apt to do things that are foolish or dangerous to himself and others. It knows too that neither love nor grief is felt for just any other human being, but only for one, or a few, particular and individual human beings. The core of what I term an “affectional bond” is the attraction that one individual has for another individual. (p. 67) Few would disagree with this statement. And yet, as with many new and simple ideas, we encounter considerable resistance to its implications. Bowlby is a psychoanalyst and psychiatrist who was trained in the Freudian tradition of psychoanalysis. Since 1946, when he assumed responsibility for the Children’s Department at the Tavistock Clinic, London (swiftly renaming it the Department for Children and Parents), Bowlby has focused his research and therapeutic skills on the study and treatment of young children and their families. This experience has provided him with the basis for both his theory of normal infant and child development and a new view of pathology and its treatment. Although his work is enriched by fields such as ethology, cognitive psychology and systems theory, Bowlby’s preoccupation with the joys and sorrows, the hope and despair, incurred in the making, sustaining and breaking of affectional bonds, places his contribution squarely within the arena of psychoanalysis. More than any other branch of medicine and psychology, psychoanalysis claims to investigate the emotional life of man. Nevertheless, despite over thirty years of research and teaching, Bowlby’s conception of attachment has not yet been integrated into the discipline and still remains foreign to the thinking of most psychoanalysts. In this chapter, I shall attempt to supply reasons for the resistance of psychoanalysts to Bowlby’s thesis. Indeed, by reference to some of his most basic assumptions about human psychology, Bowlby himself offers various solutions.

After completing the High School for Daughters, she attended Vaci Utcai Gimnazium in Budapest, even though it was unusual at the time for a woman to continue formal education. Budapest was of great influence on her life and career.[1] She met the influential Hungarian psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi, became fascinated by the concept of the unconscious, and was encouraged to read Sigmund Freud.[2] In September 1916, Schönberger began Art History studies at the University of Budapest, but in January 1917 she switched to Medical School.

Reasons for this focus are sundry. More and more psychotherapists have become aware of the vast multitudes of pa­ tients seeking help who possess a diversity of complaints but who cannot be pigeonholed in any distinctive diagnostic category. Symptoms come and go, fluctuating from evanescent paranoidal projections to obsessive-com­ pulsive maneuvers, to anxiety manifestations, to depression, to conversion phenomena, to distortion phenomena (fantasy defenses), and to temporary psychotic episodes. Moreover, the sadomasochistic relationships established by these patients have made therapy arduous and frequently unsuccessful. The challenge posed by the borderline malady that disables such great numbers of our population has promoted increasing empirical studies and has yielded a vast literature with craftily fabricated theories that espouse many contradictory themes.

As a result of not knowing how the events of history have translated into a sense of history, the representational world of the patient can present challenges in how to understand the reactivations of history into the present.

Berardi Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/gsc Part of the Counseling Psychology Commons Mahler, Margaret Anna A. Berardi Born into a Jewish family in Sopron, Hungary, Margaret Mahler (1897–1985) is one of the founding pioneers in psychoanalytical theory and practice. She is most noted for her separation-individuation theory of child development, which emphasizes identity formation as occurring within the context of relationships. After im- migrating to the United States in 1938, Mahler’s work as a child psychiatrist informed her theory regarding the interplay between our internal (psychological) development and our external social environment. This ap- proach was considered scandalous within her professional community, which tended to minimize sociocultural and relational contributors to our sense of self. Her conceptual framework regarding the nature of attachment relating, specifically our need for both closeness and distance, is imbedded in many theoretical constructs regarding attachment, interpersonal relationships, family, and broader social system functioning. In her separation-individuation theory of child development, Mahler hypothesized that the process of becom- ing—of separating (differentiating out from our perceptual and emotional fusion with others) and individuating (developing concrete autonomous skills and abilities)—occurred through a lifelong process of connecting and separating. Like the ebb and flow of a tide, each person continually needs to relationally “move in,” experi- encing self within the context of “we” (symbiosis). Likewise, we continually need distance, to “move out” to reestablish connection to self as an “I” as we synthesize the good, bad, and indifferent of current relationships or explore new roles, relationships, and challenges.

    1 Interview with Jacob Arlow on his Relationship with Margaret Mahler By Alma H. Bond, PhD. Author of Margaret Mahler: A Biography of the Psychoanalyst June 8, 2003 “My relationship with her was almost exclusively professional,” Dr. Arlow quickly began. “I remember the paper I introduced her with at UJA. It was about children and very moving. She was a very interesting person, not run of the mill. I met her in 1941, at the Psychiatric Institute. I was a resident of psychiatry. She had just come over from Europe. For the first time the Psychiatric Institute was programmed for child psychiatry, specifically child analysis. We had a wonderful introduction to it.. Margaret arranged for a semi circle of the kind of children’s stools that you see in kindergarten. She sat on one in the center and the child patient would sit next to her. It struck me as incongruous, how you could get a child to talk in front of all those people. But as the session went on, everybody disappeared except Margaret and the little child she was talking to. Years later she said, ‘It must have been very difficult for you to understand me, with my awful accent.’ I said, ‘I don’t remember you having any accent at all during those interviews.’ “The weekly meetings with her were examples of child psychotherapy at its best. They were the highlights of our week at the Psychiatric Institute. Come to think of it, it was the only organized program of instruction to which we were exposed. Psychiatric training in those days was not as it is now.

  • Psychoanalytic Views About Development. in D. Messer & S. Millar
    Howard Steele & Miriam Steele (1999) in David Messer & Stuart Millar (Eds). Exploring Developmental Psychology (pp 263-283). London: Francis Arnold. Psychoanalytic views about development Introduction This chapter provides a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective on three domains of development of concern and interest to psychoanalysts and developmental psychologists alike. These three domains make up the main sections of this chapter: (1) self, social relations, and emotion-regulation; (2) psychosexual and gender development; and (3) the long-term influence of early family experiences upon personality development and functioning. Throughout the chapter, reference is made to the ways in which developmental research provides confirmation of some psychoanalytic assumptions concerning development (e.g. the widely shared view that the mind is inherently interpersonal), and refutation of other assumptions (e.g. the suggestion that human newborns are normally overwhelmed with confusion, fear and aggression). The chapter aims to provide a ‘feel’ for the history, continuing evolution, and contemporary value of the psychoanalytic approach to development which places the consideration of emotions, interpersonal and intra-personal relations, and unconscious influences upon behaviour, at the top of the agenda. Discussion point: A discussion point relevant to this chapter’s relation to the wider text concerns similarities and differences between psychoanalytic and psychological views about development.
