9781138477872.Pdf “Books and essays on psychoanalysis seem to alternate between those that focus on its future and those that focus on its decline and marginalization. Is our current state of pluralism a sign of health and vitality or of decay and fragmentation? Progress in Psychoanalysis: Envisioning the Future of the Profession is a serious and rigorous effort to grapple with the tensions of the future of psychoanalysis under pressure to meet our health care sys- tem’s demands for access, cost containment, research evidence, and public accountability. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic education.” – Lewis Aron, Ph.D., Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis “This book, with broad reach, addresses a pervasive problem of closed- mindedness within the culture and among the ‘citizens’ of the psycho- analytic community. That closed-mindedness has been shaken in recent decades, but still includes much excessive either/or thinking about theory, technique, training, research, and what psychoanalysts can do. And the book addresses this head-on in its theoretical sections, and by concrete illustration in its sections on training, research, and work beyond the one- to-one in-the-office. It is very much a worthwhile read for the already open-minded and a necessary read for all the others. Having discovered in my own clinical/research/teaching life the value of such open-mindedness, I found it fascinating again and again as I read through it and recommend it highly.” – Fred Pine, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychiatry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York City “This book is a breath of fresh air. Perhaps a life-saving one. What unites its chapters is a recognition of two closely related facts: (1) that psychoa- nalysis is not important – it is about something important – and (2) that psychoanalysis is not about itself – it is about the human mind, an object of study that we share with other disciplines.” – Mark Solms, Chair of Neuropsychology, University of Cape Town and Research Chair, International Psychoanalytical Association “The profession of psychoanalysis faces immense challenges to its viabil- ity. This stunning text captures both the internal and external challenges and it offers solutions. In three sections, ‘Perspectives’, ‘Research and training’, and ‘Beyond the consulting room’, the book addresses the need to integrate disparate theoretical perspectives while maintaining clarity about core principles, to realize the relevance of psychoanalytic psycho- therapy research, to develop meaningful collaborations with allied disci- plines and to get smart about how the profession engages with health care reform. This book offers a path to a fundamental re-orientation of the pro- fession and how it can thrive.” – Harriet L. Wolfe, M.D., President, American Psychoanalytic Association; Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, UCSF Progress in Psychoanalysis Is psychoanalysis in decline? Has its understanding of the human condition been marginalized? Have its clinical methods been eclipsed by more short- term, problem-oriented approaches? Is psychoanalysis unable (or unwill- ing) to address key contemporary issues and concerns? With contributors internationally recognized for their scholarship, Progress in Psychoanalysis: Envisioning the Future of the Profession offers both an analysis of how the culture of psychoanalysis has contrib- uted to the profession’s current dilemmas and a description of the progres- sive trends taking form within the contemporary scene. Through a broad and rigorous examination of the psychoanalytic landscape, this book high- lights the profession’s very real progress and describes a vision for its increased relevance. It shows how psychoanalysis can offer unparalleled value to the public. Economic, political, and cultural factors have contributed to the mar- ginalization of psychoanalysis over the past 30 years. But the profession’s internal rigidity, divisiveness, and strong adherence to tradition have left it unable to adapt to change and to innovate in the ways needed to remain relevant. The contributors to this book are prominent practitioners, theo- reticians, researchers, and educators who offer cogent analyses of the cul- ture of psychoanalysis and show how the profession’s foundation can be strengthened by building on the three pillars of openness, integration, and accountability. This book is designed to help readers develop a clearer vision of a vital, engaged, contemporary psychoanalysis. The varied contributions to Progress in Psychoanalysis exemplify how the profession can change to better promote and build on the very real progress that is occurring in theory, research, training, and the many applications of psychoanaly- sis. They offer a roadmap for how the profession can begin to reclaim its leadership in wide-ranging efforts to explore the dynamics of mental life. Readers will come away with more confidence in psychoanalysis as an innovative enterprise and more excitement about how they can contribute to its growth. Steven D.

Philosophy & Psychoanalysis book series JON MILLS Series Editor Philosophy & Psychoanalysis is dedicated to current developments and cutting edge research in the philosophical sciences, phenomenology, hermeneutics, exis- tentialism, logic, semiotics, cultural studies, social criticism, and the humanities that engage and enrich psychoanalytic thought through philosophical rigor. With the philosophical turn in psychoanalysis comes a new era of theoretical research that revisits past paradigms while invigorating new approaches to theoretical, historical, contemporary, and applied psychoanalysis. No subject or discipline is immune from psychoanalytic reflection within a philosophical context including psychology, sociology, anthropology, politics, the arts, religion, science, culture, physics, and the nature of morality. Philosophical approaches to psychoanalysis may stimulate new areas of knowledge that have conceptual and applied value beyond the consulting room reflective of greater society at large. In the spirit of pluralism, Philosophy & Psychoanalysis is open to any theoretical school in phi- losophy and psychoanalysis that offers novel, scholarly, and important insights in the way we come to understand our world.

    Ferenczi’s Influence on Contemporary Psychoanalytic Traditions This collection covers the great variety topics relevant for understanding the importance of Sándor Ferenczi and his influence on contemporary psychoanalysis. Pre-eminent Ferenczi scholars were solicited to contribute succinct reviews of their fields of expertise. The book is divided in five sections. ‘The historico-biographical’ describes Ferenczi’s childhood and student days, his marriage, brief analyses with Freud, his correspondences and contributions to the daily press in Budapest, exploration of his patients’ true identities, and a paper about his untimely death. ‘The development of Ferenczi’s ideas’ reviews his ideas before his first encounter with psychoanalysis, his relationship with peers, friendship with Groddeck, emancipation from Freud, and review of the importance of his Clinical Diary. The third section reviews Ferenczi’s clinical concepts and work: trauma, unwelcome child, wise baby, identification with aggressor, mutual analysis, and many others. In ‘Echoes’, we follow traces of Ferenczi’s influence on virtually all traditions in contemporary psychoanalysis: interpersonal, independent, Kleinian, Lacanian, relational, etc. Finally, there are seven ‘application’ chapters about Ferenczi’s ideas and the issues of politics, gender and development. Aleksandar Dimitrijević, PhD, is interim professor of psychoanalysis and clinical psychology at the International Psychoanalytic University, Berlin, Germany. He is a member of the Belgrade Psychoanalytical Society (IPA) and Faculty at the Serbian Association of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists (EFPP), and the editor or co-editor of ten books or special journal issues, as well as author of many conceptual and empirical papers, about attachment theory and research, psychoanalytic education, psychoanalysis and the arts. Gabriele Cassullo is a psychologist, psychotherapist, doctor in research in human sciences and interim professor in psychology at the Department of Psychology, University of Turin.

  • If Freud Could Define Psychoanalysis, Why Can't ABPP Do
    (1993) If Freud could define psychoanalysis, why can't ABPP? Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Thought, 16, 299-326 #158 If Freud Could Define Psychoanalysis, Why Can’t ABPP Do It? PAUL E. MEEHL, PH.D. ABSTRACT It is doubtful whether Freud’s (1914) definition of a psychoanalyst as one who makes transference and resistance basic to theory and therapy would be adequate today, although these two concepts do jointly imply some of the other core ideas (e.g., the unconscious, defense, conflict, importance of early life experiences). Certifying competence to practice psychoanalysis presupposes the empirical reality of a technical taxon, a question researchable by taxometric methods. Verbal, conceptual knowledge of classical and deviationist theory can be assessed by achievement test. Performance in conducting a psychoanalytic session can be cheaply and conveniently judged from tapes and protocols mailed to evaluators. Increasing heterogeneity and the unanswered challenges to tech- nique and doctrine suggest that psychoanalysis may be a degenerating program, in which case ABPP should not embark on certification of analytic practitioners. Let me begin on a reassuring note to the American Board of Professional Psy- chology (ABPP). I do not mean to suggest any deficiency on its part, nor on the part of the psychoanalytic group. As I understand from my colleague Dr. Manfred Meier, the Board initiated some moves toward certification for the practice of psychoanalysis, but, confronted with the task of describing qualifications, appar- ently thought better of it. Assuming Freud’s (1914) effort to demarcate psycho- analysis from related modes was adequate to the social situation in 1914 (which it may or may not have been), developments in theory and technique, and the efflorescence of a wide variety of therapeutic modes and theories of neurosis— each taking small, medium, or large portions from the corpus of psychoanalytic doctrine—would suggest that today’s situation is so different that what was adequate as a definition in 1914 would not be adequate today.
