Procci First page of article [source] WHAT HAS PSYCHOANALYSIS GOT TO DO WITH HAPPINESS?BRITISH JOURNAL OF PSYCHOTHERAPY, Issue 4 2009RECLAIMING THE POSITIVE IN PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY abstract This paper questions whether what is a strength of psychoanalysis , its focus on painful and difficult experiences and its ability to remain in touch with the negative aspects of the personality , might also be an Achilles heel. The paper discusses research from neuroscience, developmental and social psychology to argue that more attention needs to be given to how we work with more positive and hopeful aspects of the personality, and that otherwise psychoanalytic psychotherapists are not working with the whole person. Some clinical examples are used to illustrate how these ideas might be used. [source] PLURALISM IN CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOANALYSIS: THEORY AND PRACTICEBRITISH JOURNAL OF PSYCHOTHERAPY, Issue 2 2008Jean White abstract As this paper was originally delivered as the British Journal of Psychotherapy Annual Lecture, I have retained the spoken tone of the original. In contemporary physics, cosmology and philosophy, there is now a recognition that no single paradigm or theory can represent reality and growing credence in the idea that learning is advanced more rapidly through a pluralistic model. This paper argues that the same applies to psychoanalysis and the psychoanalytic psychotherapies. It explores the value given to the recognition of difference in contemporary Independent, Lacanian and post-Kleinian thought and the psychopathology attributed to single vision, and argues for the urgent need to engage in constructive cross-paradigmatic discussion.

Some highlights of this research are presented. Interpersonal experience in infancy impacts on the developing brain. Patterns of insecure attachment can be related to classical psychoanalytic defence mechanisms, but are seen as ways of maintaining contact with an object in suboptimal environments. The Adult Attachment Interview establishes different patterns of narrative style which can be related to parent-child interaction in infancy, and has confirmed many of psychoanalysis's major developmental hypotheses. With the help of two clinical examples, it is suggested that attachment ideas can help with clinical listening and identifying and intervening with different narrative styles in therapy. [source] ,Mother's Little Helper': The Crisis of Psychoanalysis and the Miltown ResolutionGENDER & HISTORY, Issue 2 2003Jonathan M. Metzl This paper examines the discourse surrounding the release in 1955 of Miltown, America's first psychotropic wonder drug. According to many histories of psychiatry, Miltown heralded the arrival of a new paradigm in treating psychiatric patients , as a drug that operated on a neurochemical level, it was argued to replace a psychoanalytic approach with its focus on the mother-child relation. Between 1955 and 1960, articles about pharmaceutical miracle cures for mental illnesses filled mass-circulation news magazines and top fashion magazines. Through analysis of these representations, this article shows how the newly discovered pills came to be associated with existing concerns about conditions problematically referred to as ,maternal conditions,' ranging from a woman's frigidity, to a bride's uncertainty, to a wife's infidelity. Using these representations, the paper demonstrates how in American popular culture, psychoanalytic notions of motherhood prevalent in the 1950s shaped early understandings and uses of psychotropic drugs.

It is imperative, in our efforts to engage in socially responsible clinical practice, that we restore the sociocritical function to our professional mandate, and that we apply such critique to our symbiosis with the dominant organizing social and economic order. In our close encounter with the tragedies and profundities of the human subject, we are uniquely poised to inhabit a critical, dissident and ardent sensibility in relation to the larger political world. Our immersion in human subjectivity makes possible a vivid and poignant perspective on human experience in contemporary life, and yet our valorization of the subjective and the individual, and our difficulty looking beyond the dyad as the site of human suffering and human transformation occludes a broader social and historical inquiry. So, too, does our preoccupation with holding onto our professional legitimacy, staying viable in the marketplace, which tempts us in morally dubious directions and dampens our freedom to elaborate a more oppositional, or dissident, sensibility. Arguably the profession has a responsibility to make a contribution, practical and discursive, clinical and theoretical, to human rights and social justice. A contribution along these lines requires tremendous courage as we push back against the gains afforded by our conformity to the status quo. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

I discuss dissociative mechanisms that allow people, soldiers and civilians, to avoid coming to terms emotionally with the horror of war. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Discussion of Neil Altman's paper, ,psychoanalysis and war'PSYCHOTHERAPY AND POLITICS INTERNATIONAL, Issue 3 2007Neil Altman Abstract This paper consists of a discussion of Neil Altman's ,Psychoanalysis and war', which was conducted online through PsyBC in the fall of 2006. Discussants were a group of psychoanalytically oriented thinkers chosen by the author and Nancy Hollander, the author of the other paper included in the discussion. The paper represents the full discussion with only minor edits to correct typographical errors and improve clarity. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Class in the consulting roomPSYCHOTHERAPY AND POLITICS INTERNATIONAL, Issue 1 2007Valerie Walkerdine Abstract This paper explores the centrality of class in psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the context of the review of Layton, Hollander and Gutwill's Psychoanalysis, Class and Politics (Layton et al., 2006). It reviews a clinical engagement with class, arguing that class has not been absent from the clinical setting, being salient in much social work analysis. The issue of how class enters psychotherapy is brought into salience by Layton's observation of comments made by middle-class therapists about their feelings of comfort in entering shops with ranges of goods and ambiences that can be understood in class terms. The issue of class in relation to identity has been well explored in the social science tradition, particularly in the work of a group of feminist scholars. This paper seeks to bring together insights from both the clinical and social science traditions, so that each may be enriched. It argues that much more dialogue is needed between the two kinds of work in order to think beyond the normative unconscious and the problems of the distinctions between inner and outer worlds.

[source] The science of intentions and the intentions of sciencePSYCHOTHERAPY AND POLITICS INTERNATIONAL, Issue 2 2003Polly Young-EisendrathArticle first published online: 13 FEB 200 Abstract Psychoanalysis is a special kind of science that needs to discover its systematic and scientific foundations on the grounds of its own being , the study of subjective life. In this essay, I describe how psychoanalysis is a ,science of intentions' and show how it can help us clarify the ,intentions of science' as we face a massive contemporary illusion: that we can understand our suffering through some version of biological determinism. Our methods of inquiry and our concerns and goals in psychoanalysis explicitly contrast with the assumptions and forms of investigation in biology, neuroscience, and physics. We cannot ground our work in studies of organic processes because we cannot ask or answer our questions through them.

[source] Sibling loss, guilt and reparation: A case studyTHE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS, Issue 1 2007CHRISTOPHER CHRISTIAN Psychoanalysis has shown that the death of a sibling is likely to have a long-standing impact on the character development of a surviving child. Among common adult manifestations are the identifi cation with the deceased sibling, repetitive self-punitive behaviors, and the development of masochistic trends. In treatment, these patients can become entrenched in a negative therapeutic reaction that compromises the outcome of their analysis. In this paper, the author discusses the analysis of a woman with a history of losses that included the loss of a sibling at an early age. A critical part of the treatment focused on helping this patient overcome a negative therapeutic reaction that emerged as she became aware of hostile and vengeful fantasies, not only as they related to her deceased brother but, more importantly, as they related to her parents. [source] What is conceptual research in psychoanalysis?,THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS, Issue 5 2006Research Subcommittee for Conceptual Research of the International Psychoanalytical Association The development of psychoanalysis as a science and clinical practice has always relied heavily on various forms of conceptual research. Thus, conceptual research has clarifi ed, formulated and reformulated psychoanalytic concepts permitting to better shape the fi ndings emerging in the clinical setting. By enhancing clarity and explicitness in concept usage it has facilitated the integration of existing psychoanalytic thinking as well as the development of new ways of looking at clinical and extraclinical data. Moreover, it has offered conceptual bridges to neighbouring disciplines particularly interested in psychoanalysis, e.g. philosophy, sociology, aesthetics, history of art and literature, and more recently cognitive science/neuroscience. In the present phase of psychoanalytic pluralism, of worldwide scientifi c communication among psychoanalysts irrespective of language differences and furthermore of an intensifying dialogue with other disciplines, the relevance of conceptual research is steadily increasing. Yet, it still often seems insuffi ciently clear how conceptual research can be differentiated from clinical and empirical research in psychoanalysis. Therefore, the Subcommittee for Conceptual Research of the IPA presents some of its considerations on the similarities and the differences between various forms of clinical and extraclinical research, their specifi c aims, quality criteria and thus their specifi c chances as well as their specifi c limitations in this paper. Examples taken from six issues of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis in 2002-3 serve as illustrations for seven different subtypes of conceptual research. [source] Psychoanalysis as a work in progress,THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS, Issue 3 2006Cláudio Laks Eizirik First page of article [source] Psychoanalytic Controversies: The relationship between psychoanalysis and schizophreniaTHE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS, Issue 1 2003Richard Lucas In this article, the author considers psychoanalysts' current attitudes towards schizophrenia. After early optimism of a psychoanalytic approach, interest has waned, other than in the field of first-onset psychosis. This was because of poor outcome figures and regarding schizophrenia as now having a biological, rather than psychological, base. The author argues that there is a paradox, because only psychoanalysis offers a framework for relating to psychotic patients in a way that helps them to make sense of their experiences. A framework is described, with clinical examples, to illustrate the application of analytic thinking to patients with schizophrenia. Psychoanalysis needs to revitalise its attitude to psychosis, as it has a significant contribution to make within general psychiatry, not least in the training of the next generation of psychiatrists.
