Developmental Perspectives in Child Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Developmental Perspectives in Child Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Developmental Perspectives in Child Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy incor- porates recent innovations in developmental theory and research into our understanding of the nature of change in child psychotherapy. Diverse psy- choanalytic ideas and individual styles are represented, challenging the his- torical allegiance in analytic child therapy to particular, and so often singular, schools of thought. Each of the distinguished contributors offers a concep- tually grounded and clinically rich account of child development, address- ing topics such as reflective functioning, the role of play, dreaming, trauma and neglect, the development of recognition and mutuality, autism, adoption, and non- binary conceptions of gender. Extended clinical vignettes offer the reader clear vision into the convergence of theory and practice, demonstrat- ing the potential of psychoanalytic psychotherapy to move child development forward. This book will appeal to all practicing mental health professionals. Christopher Bonovitz, Psy.D., is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the William Alanson White Institute in New York City and Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. He is on the editorial board of Psychoanalytic Dialogues and Contemporary Psychoanalysis and maintains a psychotherapy and consultation practice with children, adolescents, and adults in New York City. Andrew Harlem, Ph.D., is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the California Institute for Integral Studies in San Francisco, an instructor at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California (PINC), and faculty mem- ber at the Access Institute for Psychological Services. He is on the editorial board of Psychoanalytic Dialogues and is a past president of the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology. Dr. Harlem maintains a psychotherapy and consultation practice in San Francisco and Oakland, California. Relational Perspectives Book Series Lewis Aron & Adrienne Harris Series Co- Editors Steven Kuchuck & Eyal Rozmarin Associate Editors The Relational Perspectives Book Series publishes books that grow out of or contribute to the relational tradition in contemporary psychoanalysis. The term relational psychoanalysis was first used by Greenberg and Mitchell1 to bridge the traditions of interpersonal relations as developed within interper- sonal psychoanalysis and object relations, in turn developed within contem- porary British theory. But, under the seminal work of the late Stephen A. Mitchell, the term relational psychoanalysis grew and began to accrue to itself many other influences and developments. Various tributaries – interpersonal psychoanalysis, object relations theory, self psychology, empirical infancy research, and elements of contemporary Freudian and Kleinian thought – flow into this tradition, which understands relational configurations between self and others, both real and fantasied, as the primary subjects of psycho- analytic investigation. We refer to the relational tradition, rather than to a relational school, to highlight that we are identifying a trend, a tendency within contemporary psychoanalysis, not a more formally organized or coherent school or system of beliefs. Our use of the term relational signifies a dimension of theory and practice that has become salient across the wide spectrum of contemporary psychoanalysis. Now under the editorial supervision of Lewis Aron and Adrienne Harris, with the assistance of Associate Editors Steven Kuchuck and Eyal Rozmarin, the Relational Perspectives Book Series originated in 1990 under the editorial eye of the late Stephen A. Mitchell. Mitchell was the most prolific and influential of the originators of the relational tradition. Committed to dialogue among psychoanalysts, he abhorred the authoritari- anism that dictated adherence to a rigid set of beliefs or technical restrictions. He championed open discussion and comparative and integrative approaches and promoted new voices across the generations. Included in the Relational Perspectives Book Series are authors and works that come from within the relational tradition and extend and develop that tradition, as well as works that critique relational approaches or compare and contrast it with alternative points of view. The series includes our most distinguished senior psychoanalysts, along with younger contributors who bring fresh vision.

    “SACRED PSYCHOANALYSIS” – AN INTERPRETATION OF THE EMERGENCE AND ENGAGEMENT OF RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY IN CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOANALYSIS by JAMES ALISTAIR ROSS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham July 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT From the 1970s the emergence of religion and spirituality in psychoanalysis is a unique development, given its traditional pathologizing stance. This research examines how and why ‘sacred psychoanalysis’ came about and whether this represents a new analytic movement with definable features or a diffuse phenomena within psychoanalysis that parallels developments elsewhere. After identifying the research context, a discussion of definitions and qualitative reflexive methodology follows. An account of religious and spiritual engagement in psychoanalysis in the UK and the USA provides a narrative of key people and texts, with a focus on the theoretical foundations established by Winnicott and Bion. This leads to a detailed examination of the literary narratives of religious and spiritual engagement understood from: Christian; Natural; Maternal; Jewish; Buddhist; Hindu; Muslim; Mystical; and Intersubjective perspectives, synthesized into an interpretative framework of sacred psychoanalysis.

  • Ghosts in the Consulting Room: a Seminar on Repetitive (Re)Enactments
    Margery Kalb, Psy.D. 170 East 77 Street, #2E New York, NY 10075 (212) 737-3967 [email protected] PDPSA.4582 Ghosts in the Consulting Room: A Seminar on Repetitive (Re)Enactments Course Description: Ghosts are internalizations gone awry. They arise unbidden, haunting patient and analyst alike, in the form of repetitive, painful (re)enactments. In this way, ghosts of the past take possession of the present, resisting being “laid to rest as ancestors” (Loewald, 1960). In this one-credit clinical seminar, we will explore ‘ghostly’ phenomena that manifest as underinternalizations, the compulsion to repeat, attachment to pain, and dissociated self-states. We will consider the emergence of these absent presences in the therapeutic relationship, and trace the nonlinear pathways that can help facilitate “laying ghosts to rest as ancestors.” On the clinical level, transforming “ghosts” into “ancestors” is more difficult than Loewald’s (1960) theoretical outline recognized. Ghosts live a shadow life in the unconscious and preconscious “enacted dimension” of the treatment (Katz, 2011), taking up residence within and between analyst and patient — surprising and unsettling both members of the dyad; inviting disturbing and uncanny (re)enactments; threatening impasse. Integration of these ghosts requires welcoming, or at least tolerating, their deeply unnerving presence — at intrapsychic, interpersonal, and interpsychic levels — and living through the profound and painful mourning process required to facilitate their integration.

  • Introducing the Social Sciences for Midwifery Practice
    Downloaded by [National Library of the Philippines] at 23:14 01 November 2017 Introducing the Social Sciences for Midwifery Practice Introducing the Social Sciences for Midwifery Practice makes clear the links between social, anthropological and psychological concepts, midwifery practice and women’s experience of birth. Demonstrating how empathising with women and understanding the context in which they live can affect childbirth outcomes and experiences, this evidence-based text emphasises the importance of compassionate and humane care in midwifery practice. Exploring midwifery as an art, as well as a science, the authors collected here make the case for midwives as professionals working ‘with women’ rather than as birth tech- nicians, taking a purely competency-based approach to practice. The book incorporates a range of pedagogical features to enhance student learning, including overall chapter aims and learning outcomes, ‘recommendations for practice’, ‘learning triggers’ to encourage the reader to delve deeper and reflect on practice, ‘application to practice’ case studies that ensure that the theory is related to contemporary practice, and a glos- sary of terms. The chapters cover perspectives on birth from sociology, psychology, anthropology, law, social policy and politics. Other chapters address important issues such as disability and sexuality. Outlining relevant theory from the social sciences and clearly applying it to practice, this text is an essential read for all student midwives, registered midwives and doulas. Patricia Lindsay did her nurse training in London, then trained as a midwife. She has been a practising midwife since 1974, and a midwifery teacher since 1991. She has worked in the UK and in the Sultanate of Oman.

  • Transference and Countertransference
    Washington Center for Psychoanalysis Psychoanalytic Studies Program, 2018-2019 TRANSFERENCE AND COUNTERTRANSFERENCE 18 December 2018- 19 March 2019 Tuesday: 5:30-6:45 Faculty: David Joseph and Pavel Snejnevski “I believe it is ill-advised, indeed impossible, to treat transference and countertransference as separate issues. They are two faces of the same dynamic rooted in the inextricable intertwining with others in which individual life originates and remains throughout the life of the individual in numberless elaborations, derivatives, and transformations. One of the transformations shows itself in the encounter of the psychoanalytic situation.” Hans Loewald Transference and Countertransference OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE Although it was first formulated by Freud, transference, as we currently understand it, is integral to all meaningful human relationships. In a treatment relationship characterized by the therapist’s professional but friendly interest, relative anonymity, neutrality regarding how patients conduct their lives, non-judgmental attitude, and a shared conviction that associating freely and speaking without censorship will best facilitate the goals of the treatment, patients come to experience the therapist in ways that are powerfully and unconsciously shaped by aspects of earlier important relationships. The patient is often not aware that he is “transferring” these earlier experiences to the therapist but is also often completely unaware of “transferred” reactions to the therapist that only become manifest as the treatment relationship develops. Laboratory experiments in animals demonstrate neurophysiological processes that cast light on the processes that contribute to transference reactions in humans. If a rat is trained to respond negatively to the sound of a bell that is paired with an electric shock, recordings from a single cell in the structure of the brain that responds to fear will indicate nerve firing.

  • The Psychoanalytic Cure
    The Psychoanalytic Cure and Its Discontents: A Zen Perspective on "Common Unhappiness" and the Polarized Self HARRY R. BRICKMAN, M.D., Ph.D. ( This paper was published in Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Thought; Vol.21, No. 1 Winter 1998 Pp. 3-32) © 1998 Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Science, Inc Normally, there is nothing of which we are more certain than the feeling of our self, of our own ego. This ego appears to us as something autonomous and unitary, marked off distinctly from everything else [Freud, 1930, pp. 65-66]. To study the self is to forget the self; To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things [Eihei Dogen, Japanese Zen philosopher d. 1253 C.E., quoted in Jokoi, 1976, pp. 5]. ___________ Dr. Brickman is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine, and Training and Supervising Analyst, Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute. 1 (An earlier version of this paper was presented to the Southern California Psychoanalytic Society on November 21, 1983.) ABSTRACT The state of "common unhappiness" presumably regarded by Freud as the end point of the psychoanalytic cure is examined as an ontological conviction reflected in a still-prevailing view of the self as ideally autonomous and fully demarcated from its surround. More recent contributors have envisioned individuation as relationally contingent rather than as essentially solitary. Yet, although more contemporary, most seem to embody a concept of social relatedness in the service of ultimately unidirectional self-demarcation. An argument is offered that attainment of a fully and inflexibly demarcated self, regardless of social contingency, leads to a state of discomfort, which I have termed self-encapsulation.
