One of psychoanalytic therapeutic choices is creating inner objects of parents. No inner object patient is not rare. Psychoanalyst becomes father or mother of patient, and no neutrality position. This intensive psychoanalysis often succeeds to create inner object of patient. In session, he/she adds opposite sex for father or mother is good choice. Real mother and father experience is needed for patient. Real experience creates inner object of parents. If you know the shades of experience, please discuss and tell me about it.
I am writing in the hope of discovering some help in a research project being conducted by the distinguished psychoanalyst, R. D. Hinshelwood, author of many admirable writings. He was the founder and editor of significant periodicals: The British Journal of Psychotherapy, The International Journal of Therapeutic Communities and Psychoanalysis and History , as well as the essential reference work, A Dictionary of Kleinian Thought and a number of other books. He writes: I'm editing a book, which is provisionally called Bion's Sources, and have various people writing on what Bion drew his inspiration from. Not just Freud and Klein

Inner speech is the concept of developmental psychology. I think conversation with God is called for inner speech. In psychoanalysis, analysand grows up sound inner speech. Christ or Zeus or appointment, we must hear to divide with. Jungian analysis or psychoanalysis, and Gestalt therapy are good choice for dividing conversation to inner speech. Inner speech stems from Russian psychologist's concept. God in reality is explained, some hear.
Prof. Janet Sayers' _Kleinians_ is a good book. This book deals with several immigrant psychoanalysts. In Britain, well-known psychoanalysts are immigrants from Continent. Freud is the first big immigrant. Prof. Sayers' analysis is well for readers. I think psychoanalysis is the academics of the immigrant's. You have to distinguish immigrant from native. I hope you tell me which psychoanalysis is the academics of the immigrant.

'Vicissitudes of Therapists' Self-Esteem' 88K by Robert M. Young
I gave various versions of this talk during 2004 to the Association of Arbours Psychotherapists, to the MA students in Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Sheffield and to the Wessex Psychotherapy Society, Southampton. On each occasion I was very struck by the open, enthusiastic and heartfelt response to the issues raised in the talk. It was made clear that the members of the audiences had experienced very few opportunities to discuss such matters in a group setting. Indeed, I was told that the audience in Southampton carried on with the

We need meta-analytic study of psychotherapy now. Prof. Hans Eysenk studeid the effect of psychotherapy by mata-analytic view, not using statistic method. Recent studies use statistic method. Prof. Peter Fonagy's study is _What Works for Whom_. Prof. Eysenk defeated psychoanalysis. I know many papers are published for the effect of psychotherapy. Now using these data of papers, we try to study meta-analytic study of the effect of psychotherapy. As a result, I hope psychoanalysis regards as effect psychotherapy by meta-analysis.

One of problems of psychoanalysis is the structure of treatment. It is everyday analysis vs. one session weekly. In Japan, UK and north America, play therapy takes place one session weekly. One session school is popular in Japan and north America. But It is not popular in psychoanalysis. Psychoanalyst chooses everyday analysis for treatment of children. If you consider effective of psychotherapy, your choice is weekly or everyday? In this list the choice is everyday analysis, I think. The everyday analysis is major in Europe. Some opinions of the structure of treatment. Please tell me.

Not necessarily. I use some form of psychoanalytic intervention in all my contacts with patients but it is not standard psychoanalysis. I sometimes have only one session with someone (I work in a prison reception center) and I also work in once weekly groups. As you remember, Freud sometimes saw a person only once (such as when he met Katharina on the mountain [Studies on Hysteria]). Analysis must not always require everyday contact, although people who

In the U.S. although it is absolutely clear that sexual relations between analysands and analysts are both against codes of ethics and, in most instances, against the law they continue to occur. They have a very negative effect on the reputation of psychoanalysis. Over the past 15 or 20 years there has been more systematic study of the psychopathology of the analyst that leads to such behavior. Although such behavior is absolutely unacceptable it appears to happen less with psychoanalysts than other therapists, probably because analysts are better trained to recognize and control countertransference.

'Metapsychological Formulation: A New Scientific Method of Psychoanalytic Clinical Research and Practice' by Harry Anderson is at the Free Associations web site
Many claim that Metapsychology is of no use in the clinical situation and should be abandoned. The author's researches show that this attitude is the result of an incomplete scientific evolution of the theory. If enabled to mature, it provides a sound foundation for the creation of a true science of clinical research and practice.
Stefan Lita, PhD. has completed a pilot study comparing the Roerich Psychodynamic Inventory with 16 Personality Factors, the Guilford-Zimmerman Questionnaire, the Cattell Anxiety Questionnaire, the Cornel Index, the California Personality Inventory, and the Luscher Color Test popular in Europe.
His results show statistical validation of the RPI. This is the first time that a psychodynamic test has been statistically validated.

I am concerned that an assemblage of psychoanalysts, in honoring the fictional Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Tony Soprano's therapist), creates the impression of professional endorsement of the psychotherapeutic persona that Dr. Melfi embodies (Arts & Ideas pages, Dec. 29).
In fact, many who practice psychoanalysis would take issue with aspects of Dr. Melfi's clinical technique, including her looseness in professional boundaries and confidentiality, and her use of psychoactive medication.
I have discovered a wonderful web site - BLOGGER. It has many features and is free, but the one which appeals to me most is that you can put something on the web without the (to me) tedious and anxiety-provoking process of using the clumsy software put things on my web site with Front Page. I will put them there http://www.human-nature.com in due course when I have the courage. In the meantime I put them on the web with BLOGGER in a couple of moments. You can do likewise in a jiffy. Go to http://www.blogger.com/ Comments welcome, as always.

I am a social-personality psychologist currently recruiting participants for a broad study of the relationship between dreaming and waking experience. While I cannot divulge details about the exact purpose of the study, my current work will narrow the scope of previous research into the role of dreams in the foundation or regulation of waking motivation, affect, and awareness. The research also addresses public claims of dreams and dissociative events which expressed themes and elicited affect similar to that later expressed and elicited by the events of September 11.

'Projective Identification: From Attack to Empathy?' by Simon Clarke

Abstract: Projective Identification is one of the central concepts in Kleinian psychoanalytic theory. This paper seeks to give a broad overview of the concept, its usage and different interpretations, and set them in a context which should be useful for students of Psycho-Social and Psychoanalytic Studies. It addresses some of the main arguments and controversies which surround the concept and attempts to unravel the complexity of the idea, suggesting that it is an invaluable tool in the investigation

Can anyone tell me if it is legal in the U.S. for people other than physicians to practice psychoanalysis, and if so, what are the qualifications for such a practice.
My understanding is that until fairly recently one could only become clinically practicing member of the American Psychoanalytic Association if one had a medical qualification. However, this was sucessfully challenged in a legal action by clinical psychologists. Now people regularly become APsaA psychoanalysts at a number of APsaA centres throughout the country. In addition, there were then and are now other organizations where people who were not physicians could train to become a psychoanalyst, e.g., the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis - http://www.npap.org - which was founded to cater for and train non-medical practitioners who call themselves psychoanalysts. There is
Anyone can practice psychoanalysis anyplace they want to. If you mean who can practice clinical psychoanalysis, it would have to be a licensed professional such as a psychologist, social worker etc. it would seem to me. I don't think anyone can stop licensed professionals from practicing clinical psychoanalysis. Of course, ethically people don't hold themselves out to the public as being able to do things that they are not trained to do and in the US it is only recently that non MDs could get the necessary training.
Bob Do you know who is issuing the challenge to the British Psychoanalytic Association? Also do you have any view on the current Governments idea of accreditating psychotherapy, which I believe applies to the NHS and extends to nurses practicising counselling as part of their role.

'A "Confusion of Tongues":Difficulties in Conceptualizing Development in Psychoanalytic Theories' by Marilyn Charles, Ph.D. http://www.human-nature.com/ksej/charles.htm
Abstract Recent attempts to integrate the richness of an intrapsychic analytic focus with the actuality of social interactions as explicated by developmental research have been obstructed by a 'confusion of tongues' between linear and dynamic models. In keeping with a tendency to conceptualize complex phenomena in terms of primary oppositions rather than integrative dialectics, there appears to be an underlying ambivalence towards valuing nonverbal versus verbal
I think that a structural difference between the two should be better recognized than seems to be the case: autism would be an aspect of monadic psychic structure, whereas AS could better be understood form considering dyadic structure. Both structures refer to subject rather than ego, as can easily be seen from the respective ways individuals can or must relate to speech and language.
I would like to know if there are any practicing psychoanalysts who believe that the so-called "Asperger's Syndrome" is actually a mild form of autism. I would sincerely appreciate a reply from anyone on this. Thanks,

Both autism and Asperger's syndrome are pervasive developmental disorders. The separation of Asperger's from autism is a matter of controversy since they share many core features though Asperger's patients function much better cognitively, communicate better and generally do not have CNS signs.

New to list - clinical psychologist in Virginia. I am looking for any reference that Freud might have written or uttered about Richard Wagner - his music, politics, polemics and/or temperament.
I'm not sure but a doubt that Freud, who did not have much appreciation for music of any kind, had much to say regarding Wagner. However, Mort Reiser has been very interested in the leitmotif concept because he sees it as a means by which Wagner worked with unconscious communicaton.

Message text written by Psychoanalysis >Freud abandoned his seduction theory precisely because he recognized the existence of false memories. <
Yes, this is the fundamental precept of psychoanalysis--it's not so much what actually happened, but the nature of the fantasies that develop in relationship to what happened.
Psychoanalysis is about unconscious fantasy, and the impact of unconscious fantasy upon behavior.
The following information is a response to a query I posted to another list referring to Howard's holding out the FMSF as an authority to Cristina to prove something he had spoken about.
Diane Gartland ********* Diane Gartland posted a message to the practice list yesterday asking for review articles, research, etc. relevant to FMSF (False Memory Syndrome Foundation). For Diane and anyone else interested, I can provide free full-text electronic reprints of articles on this topic and some other issues relevant to clinical practice. The articles can be requested through my web site.

Message text written by Psychoanalysis >E=mc2 has been dangerous insofar psychoanalysts failed with their service to collective psychology<
I agree. Psychoanalysis must turn to the study of the shared psychological processes that give rise to social institutions, and the manner in which unconscious fantasy is played out on the stage of reality. Below is my conceptualization of how one might begin to accomplish this.
In a message dated 1/7/01 1:53:32 PM Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes:
> My point > E=mc2 has been dangerous insofar psychoanalysts failed with their service > to collective psychology - see Freud warning: >
I am not convinced that E=mc2 is theorizing; it seems to me to be the discovery of fact! The theories which we form and the use to which they are put, are certainly distinct enterprises. Therefore, theorizing or even the discovery of facts cannot in itself be dangerous, though their use could. So I have to ask again, why is theorizing dangerous?

I see you are now blaming psychoanalysis for the Ramona case! Yes Eisman. It was a psychoanalysist who was to blame for such idiocy. That psychoanalyst is Jeffrey Masson. If you recall, Masson is the "Thing" Diane Gartland correctly accused you of being.
There is an investigation currently in http://www.egroups.com/message/akhnaton/1011 that you may be interested in contributing to.
We know that Freud was very curious about the way Akhnaton behaved with his father. As Karl Abraham suggested Akhnaton may have intended to kill his father as Oedipus, yet in a symbolic way. In the refered post an Egyptologist presents how this symbolic way could have been <<the expunging of the name ot the Aton from his fatherÂ’s cartouche.>> Beside, we know that another psychoanalyst has underlined the role of the Name-of-the-Father in the Oedipus Complex.
Thank you for your thank you, Larry. However, you may not like my following remarks as much. In truth, I rather agree with Dr. Eisman in some respects. It is disturbing to me. It happens to be with different groups but the bitterness is the same. It is an envy based on economic survival.

Why do you want to leave the list? Just curious. There is so rarely any discourse on this list that I wonder about those who want so desperately to get off. I have noticed this phenomena before on this list. It seems people want the entire list to know that they are trapped somehow between interchanges and beg to be released. Reminds me of a science fiction movie..."Captive of the List". I have never seen such a thing on other lists.
(the 100 lines rule stroke again - and I confess to Amon God of Rules that I did not count how many lines I divided my first post in two.

This is to say how much we must be under the rule)

- see post 892). Let’s consider that: the word ‘Unconscious’ means something (not ‘for’ me, you, Daniel, Adrian, Zenon etc… in this case, but) ‘for’ the word ‘Environment’. The study post#892 & picture http://www.egroups.com/files/akhnaton/Flvpla04bis.gif explains how the ‘under-standing’ of the ‘Unconscious’ significand comes by ‘Z’ reflection from the ‘Environment’ significand (meanwhile the ‘environment’ meaning is changed too).

Resurrected from a post of some months ago on another list....
There has been considerable scientific scrutiny of PA theory over the years and the support of a number of PA propositions. This work has gone on in areas of motivation, development, cognition and affect. While frequently the names of the constructs are changed, there are many studies in social psychology, infant developmental research, motivation etc. which support pa principles.

Thanks for refreshing my recollections and for your other remarks about therapy research in general, which suddenly sound much more balanced and consistent with our prior correspondence.
It sounds like you're using a very narrow definition of "psychoanalysis" which sounds like circa 1920-50 something. I have a PhD friend who's an Institute graduate who's published many research articles by now, statistical in nature, on aspects of Objects Relations Theory. Would that not constitute "psychoanalysis?" Not to mention, to my knowledge, analysts do not directly interpret the unconscious anymore, because we learned long ago that it simply circumvents
I post this in http://www.egroups.com/messages/akhnaton where some readers wonder what is my position regarding ‘Psychoanalysis’. And at: [log in to unmask] a eList where some psychoanalysts express a guilt perplexity lately.

Well, that's where we now are in the contemporary world of "mental health"--one has to apologize if one wishes to treat human beings as if they are human beings.

As some have pointed out, psychotherapy research is so complex, as there are so many factors to control for. However, there was a similar debate about 2 years ago on the clinical psychology forum, also involving Dr. Eisman and others including myself. At that time, I posted specific references from controlled research (including meta-analyses) showing that, overall, therapy identified as "psychodynamic" or "psychoanalytic" was just as effective--from a symptom reduction framework--as other forms of therapy identified as "interpersonal" and "cognitive-behavioral" and others. And that's my summation of all of the research--psychoanalytic therapy is no better and no worse than other
This is so merry, I just have to put in my two cents: I notice there have been no Freudians involved in the fray. Could it be that Freud died in l993 as suggested by Time magazine? I don't think so. True heroes are hard to kill. I think the silence is due to the fact that Eisman is Adolph Friedlander--he who hates to be ignored. Eisman sincerely believes he can out think Freud, but unconsciously longs for even a kick from the master. The real intellectuals in this e-community are experiencing sadistic glee at Eisman's expense simply by ignoring
I hardly ever get posts from this list. Suddenly I receive one out of the blue from Dr. Eisman who makes a puzzling remark about social workers. Several other listmembers ask him to explain this remark and he replies with contemptuous remarks, as comfortably as though we all exchanged posts regularly. For me it has been jarring. Happily, numerous other posts have eloquently defended the value of post-Newtonian thinking (science not being what it used to be these days!) and the art of therapy.
Dr Eisman continues in his angry attacks on "types" of which he disapproves, be they "social work psychoanalysts" or "lit-crit types" (his terms). He seems to forget that he is writing about people, not "types", and that these people, the vast majority of whom he does not know and who have never harmed him, don't deserve his evacuating upon them.

There are times, remarkably enough, when problems do not call for surgery, nor medicine, nor statistical verification. A place remains, and I dare say will always remain, for poetry, literature, art, and compassion. When I feel troubled, I would rather seek these than the assistance of the empiricist. And at my work, I would rather offer them, as best as I can, than pretend that multivariate analysis can explain the dilemmas of human existence and relationship.

Another message was posted earlier this afternoon which made far worse criticism of some sexual machinations within psychoanalysis than those made by me. Why was this person not attacked? For the record, and to preserve my status as Alexander Stein's "sophomoric bigot", I believe the behavioral descriptions in this other message (I haven't asked the writer permission to quote her) to have merit.
I do, however, question his certitude that he and those he selectively accredits with being "scientists" have an indisputable corner on a truth beyond subjectivity.
I also question the science underlying his contemptuous caricature of female psychoanalysts with training as clinical social workers.

I agree that no one holds a monopoly on the "truth", but when something is being offered to the public for a price, makes claims about its value, there are standards by which this product is evaluated. Does it do what it claims? Do the premises it
Message text written by INTERNET:[log in to unmask] >I refer to studies which include appropriate controls and statistical methods-<
I myself was trained in experimental social psychology However the notion that the only valid way of obtaining empirical information about the world is through studies involving "controls and statistical methods" is antiquated.
This definition rules out approximately 70% of social science, including anthropology, history, much sociological research, not to mention volumes of research based on clinical data.
Each scholarly discipline has to have its own epistemology. The reason I write about the need for rigorous methodology in the study of psychoanalysis is that psychoanalysis is still being offered to the general public as a treatment of mental illness. Thus, psychoanalysis has to consider what types of methods for studying treatment effectiveness and theoretical validity are being used by other approaches to treating mental illness. They are the 'hard science" which I advocate.

As long as "patients" are treated by psychoanalysts as sufferers of diagnosable mental illnesses, than my criticism about the lack of scientific verification is relevant. Personal testimonials would not qualify as such scientific verification.

Dr Eisman posits a false dichotomy, when he contrasts "scientifically obtained DATA" with "a system of beliefs", and claims that he "... rejects a belief system."
In fact, the criteria used to determine what constitutes such DATA are themselves beliefs, as well as the fundamental assumption that they furnish a higher order of validity about some objective reality than the sorts of data he derogates.
yes, and more-- I hear some postulation by Dr Eisman that "his" views are "THE CORRECT" views, and that those with different educational levels and or trainings are not valuable, nor do they have much to offer to inform therapeutic practice as a whole. Too bad...
Dr Eisman, do you actually believe your words about women social workers and psychoanalytic practices, their husbands and such? What prompted this outburst? Louise

John Buksbazen presents a contemporary philosophy below which is ultimately nihilistic. It may be popular with some lit-crit types, but you will find no scientist subscribing to this point of view.
Howard D. Eisman, Ph.D.
It will do the future of psychoanalysis little good to rely on a "there is no real truth in this world" philosophy. Saying "everything is really subjective, so we accept our own views as being as valid as any others" is ultimately destructive. It is the logic of cults.
There's no trick involved... nor is an ad hominem attack on you intended.
What I am trying to communicate, as tactfully as possible, is my take on your comments--that your comments about women social workers who have undergone psychoanalytic training, who are supported by husbands, etc etc etc are gross generalizations, and smack of misogyny, and other negativeness to me. I sure don't know if there was some incident or experience that stimulated these comments, maybe you could help us out with that? I am curious as to the vehemence of your comments. I have not had the
It is interesting to stop for a moment and speculate: would empirical science offer us an explanation for the nastiness in its defenders that has so obviously wounded many list members? Or would any exploration of this interpersonal experience require recourse to precisely those non-empirical insights that a discipline like psychoanalysis (or literary critical theory, or philosophy) offer to any of us with some remnant of openmindedness to receive them? It amazes me that the social pseudo-science arguments still find advocates in the 21st century----the cult of reductionist empiricism is as powerful as any other close-minded belief system. Alas.

I find it ad hominen, whether intended or not.

Were I to require surgery, I would hope that the operation would be based on the findings of that old nasty reductionistic empiricism. I'll bet that Dr. Hamburg feels the same way. Were I to require a form of psychotherapy, should the psychotherapy be based on looser standards that the surgery? Many Psychotherapists would say, yes! it should. How would we feel if surgeons said the same thing.

'LINCOLN, MANDELA AND THE DEPRESSIVE POSITION'
An invitation to speak on a subject of my choice allowed me to write about two of my heroes in the light of the Kleinian concept of 'the depressive position', which is as good as it gets in Kleinian metapsychology. I examine the lives - the tribulations, achievements and relationships (especially the marriages) - of Abraham Lincoln and Nelson Mandela and also reflect on the concept of stoicism as a potential philosophical equivalent for the depressive position.

I have a curiosity. If I understand well, I see that the work of an actor start from a text with not so much informations about the not verbal communication. So the gait of the character, his tone of voice (and so on) are often an interpretation of the actor.
I wonder: the actor in the (psycho-)analisys of the character could be helped by tools of modern psychology? For example, Neuro-Linguistic Programming associates a lot of particulars (how to breath, the kind of voice and so on) to a type of personality (in Latin tongue, persona means "mask", and the

I must state my feelings on this matter: I feel that it is highly unethical for anyone to use their professional status to speculater about the psychological makeup of public figures (or anyone else) based on anything other than personal professional interviewing or testing of that person.
This is part of the code of ethics of a number of professional organizations.
Hello -- I am new to this list and am jumping in here. I agree with Howard Eisman about not practicing wild analysis, but I don't think it's necessarily ethical for mental health professionals to sit by in silence while the public discourse sinks to its customary level of wild personal speculation, repeated slogans, and focus on who looks attractive on a TV screen. What if any of us had been living and practicing in Germany during the rise to power of Hitler? Would silence have been ethical? I would be very interested in exploring an ethics for media participation

<< "What is the psychology of being the son of a famous father?" seems reasonable and interesting, and bipartisan, too. I have the sense there might possibly be a way to write an article like this and remain within professional boundaries. >>
I agree with you, that's an interesting and, in this year, a bipartisan issue. However, I would say that educators, historians, novelists and political analysts have at least as much to contribute as psychologists and psychoanalysts.

This seems to me to be a delusion.
When was the last time you can recall a journalist citing a psychoanalyst?
What characterizes contemporary debate is not the prevalence of psychology, but the radical ABSENCE of any sort of psychological perspective within public life.
