Analytic practice: Convergences and divergences,

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS, Issue 2 2010
Cláudio Laks Eizirik
The author discusses current convergences and divergences concerning analytic practice. After presenting a clinical vignette that can be understood differently according to different theoretical approaches, he discusses Wallerstein's proposal of a common ground in psychoanalysis and suggests that the present state of the art indicates that psychoanalysis is a pluralistic discipline, with different ways of training and practising it, and that the main challenge is to improve our ability to listen to and to learn from different approaches.

Some limitations of analysis

THE JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 4 2009
Richard Mizen
Abstract:, This paper, considers some of the difficulties that exist in reconciling the ,treatment' and the ,cultural' aspects of analytic ideas and practice; the extent, for example, to which analysis is both ordinary, and extra-ordinary in more than one way. The implications for this for the place of analysis and analytical psychotherapy in the mental health services is considered along with the ways in which there is a diversity of views about the importance of maintaining the presence of analytic ideas and analytic practice in hospitals and clinics. Some of the limitations of analysis are discussed where analytic ideas and methods move away from their application to patients and patients' material into the wider world. Translations of Abstract Cet article envisage certaines des difficultés à concilier la « cure » et les aspects « culturels » des idées et pratiques analytiques; comment, par exemple, la psychanalyse est, à plus d'un titre, à la fois ordinaire et extraordinaire. La place de l'analyse et de la psychothérapie analytique dans les services de santé mentale est donc envisagée sous cet angle, de même que l'est la diversité des points de vue quant à l'opportunité du maintien des idées et de la pratique analytique en milieu hospitalier et en clinique. Certaines des limitations de l'analyse sont ici évoquées, notamment lorsque les idées et la méthode analytique s'extraient de leur application au patient et au matériau qu'il apporte, pour s'exporter vers le vaste monde. Dieser Text behandelt einige der Schwierigkeiten die bei dem Versuch auftreten, die ,behandlerischen' und die ,kulturellen' Aspekte analytischer Ideen und Praxis miteinander zu versöhnen; das Ausmaß, z.B., in welchem die Analyse sowohl gewöhnlich als auch außergewöhnlich in mehr als einer Hinsicht ist. Die sich hieraus ergebenden Implikationen für die Bestimmung der Rolle, die Analyse und Analytische Psychotherapie im Gesundheitswesen spielen, werden parallel mit der Vielfalt der Ansichten über die Wichtigkeit der Erhaltung der Anwesenheit von analytischem Denken und analytischer Behandlung in Krankenhäusern und Praxen untersucht. Einige der Beschränktheiten der Analyse werden diskutiert die sich zeigen, wenn analytische Vorstellungen und Methoden von ihrem Bezug zu Patienten und dem Material von Patienten wegdriften in die weitere Welt. In questo lavoro si considerano alcune delle difficoltà che esistono nel conciliare gli aspetti di ,cura' e di ,cultura' delle idee e della pratica analitica; fino a che punto, ad esempio, l'analisi è sia ordinaria che straordinaria da più punti di vista. Vengono prese in considerazione le implicazioni di ciò riguardo al posto dell'analisi e della psicoterapia analitica nei servizi di salute mentale insieme ai modi in cui si riscontra una diversità di vedute sull'importanza di mantenere le idee analitiche e la pratica analitica negli ospedali e nelle cliniche. Vengono discussi alcuni dei limiti dell'analisi laddove le idee e i metodi psicoanalitici si allontanano dall'essere applicati ai pazienti e al materiale dei pazienti in un mondo più ampio. Este papel considera algunas de las dificultades que existen para reconciliar el tratamiento y los aspectos culturales de las ideas y la práctica analítica; el grado, por ejemplo, al cual el análisis es ambos, ordinario, y extraordinario en más que una forma. Se consideran las implicaciones de ello en la ubicación del análisis y la sicoterapia analítica en los Servicios Médicos de Salud Mental junto con las diversas maneras y la diversidad de opiniones sobre la importancia de mantener la presencia de ideas analíticas y la práctica analítica en hospitales y clínicas. Se discuten algunas de las limitaciones del análisis donde las ideas y los métodos analíticos se alejan de su utilidad para los pacientes y su material clínico en un mundo mas amplio. [source]

The analysis of the homoerotic and the pursuit of meaning

THE JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 3 2006
Barry Miller
Abstract:, This paper explores the dynamic tension between an evolving collective phenomenon and the nature of analytic process. Specifically, the focus will be erotic experiences which acquire a meaning through the culture at large, a meaning that may not be supportable when that material is subjected to psychological analysis. This stimulates a conflict between the symbolic attitude and the cultural perspective of the time. While the struggle between the individual and collective consciousness always emerges in analysis, the subject of same-gender sexual relations has become such a controversial and divisive issue in the current political environment that views toward homosexuality demand powerful allegiances and identification with either historic or contemporary ideas. People now identify as ,gay' and tend to see themselves as something akin to a race or perhaps alternative gender. Sexuality and relationship between same gendered people tends to be viewed through the lens of civil rights and the undeniable need for social equality. In this far-reaching and expanding collective phenomenon, psychology, in its support of human rights and accommodation to emerging trends, may be diminished in its capacity to pursue the meaning inherent in these human experiences. The position developed in this paper is that psychological experience, whether in the imaginal realm, dreams or personal consciousness, must be available for full analysis. Clinical experience and dreams are used to amplify this challenge to dynamic analytic practice. [source]
