Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:57 12 August 2016 PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY, RESEARCH, AND CLINICAL PRACTICE “This is a wonderful book. Not only is it a richly deserved tribute to Joe Lichtenberg, who has made such seminal contributions to psychoanalysis, but it is a volume that contains some of the most original and penetrating essays on motivational systems, infant development and theories of therapy that have appeared for some time. This is a book that will enrich therapists everywhere.” —Theodore Jacobs , M.D. Psychoanalytic Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice: Reading Joseph D. Lichtenberg explores both Lichtenberg’s psychoanalytic theoretical contributions and innovations in clinical technique, and how these have infl uenced the work of other psychoanalysts and researchers. Lichtenberg’s approach integrates a developmental perspective on the life cycle, self psychology, attachment theory, and his theory of motivational systems. The commentaries in this volume are divided into several sections. Part I is devoted to informal interviews with Lichtenberg that portray an account Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:57 12 August 2016 of the evolution of psychoanalysis through Lichtenberg’s eyes, interwoven with the development of his own psychoanalytic identity. Part II celebrates the role of friendship within his psychoanalytic circle, and Part III highlights his leadership role in the development of creative structures: the journal Psychoanalytic Inquiry ; The Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (ICP&P) and its training programs; and the ongoing Creativity Seminar. Additional sections provide commentary by psychoanalysts and researchers which demonstrate Lichtenberg’s theoretical and clinical impact on his colleagues. Psychoanalytic Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice provides an in-depth encounter with a major contributor to the psychoanalytic fi eld. Engagement with the openness, fl exibility, and inquiring spirit of Joseph D. Lichtenberg offers respect for and hope in the psychoanalytic process. This book is essential reading for psychoanalysts, mental health professionals, and graduate students interested in how theory, research, and technique are creatively integrated by a renowned psychoanalytic clinician and teacher.

LICHTENBERG Series Editor Like its counterpart, Psychoanalytic Inquiry: A Topical Journal for Mental Health Professionals, the Psychoanalytic Inquiry Book Series presents a diversity of subjects within a diversity of approaches to those subjects. Under the editorship of Joseph Lichtenberg, in collaboration with Melvin Bornstein and the editorial board of Psychoanalytic Inquiry , the volumes in this series strike a balance between research, theory, and clinical application. We are honored to have published the works of various innovators in psychoanalysis, such as Frank Lachmann, James Fosshage, Robert Stolorow, Donna Orange, Louis Sander, Léon Wurmser, James Grotstein, Joseph Jones, Doris Brothers, Fredric Busch, and Joseph Lichtenberg, among others. The series includes books and monographs on mainline psychoanalytic topics, such as sexuality, narcissism, trauma, homosexuality, jealousy, envy, and varied aspects of analytic process and technique. In our efforts to broaden the fi eld of analytic interest, the series has incorporated and embraced innovative discoveries in infant research, self psychology, intersubjectivity, motivational systems, affects as process, responses to cancer, borderline states, contextualism, postmodernism, attachment research and theory, medication, and mentalization. As further investigations in psychoanalysis come to fruition, we seek to present them in readable, easily comprehensible writing. After 25 years, the core vision of this series remains the investigation, analysis, and discussion of developments on the cutting edge of the psychoanalytic fi eld, inspired by a boundless spirit of inquiry.
