The edge of chaos
The field of nonlinear dynamics (or chaos theory) provides ways to expand concepts of psychoanalytic process that have implications for the technique of psychoanalysis. This paper describes how concepts of "the edge of chaos," emergence, attractors, and coupled oscillators can help shape analytic technique resulting in an approach to doing analysis which is at the same time freer and more firmly based in an enlarged understanding of the ways in w…

The Historical Moment in the Analysis of Gay Men
The meanings of men’s same-sex desire have changed rapidly in the last fifty years. As a result it is common that patients and analysts (or psychotherapists) have dissonant implicit understandings of the significance of this desire. This dissonance can have untoward clinical consequences, some of which are explored here, and may be partly mitigated to facilitate better analytic and psychotherapeutic work with gay men

Ordinary Police Interrogation in the United States: The Destruction of Meaning and Persons: A Psychoanalytic-Ethical Investigation Benjamin A. Galatzer-Levy (bio) and Robert M. Galatzer-Levy (bio) At 6:30 A.M., January 21, 1998, seventh grader Stephanie Crowe was found stabbed to death in her bedroom doorway. When police arrived, they told the family not to speak to one another. At the station, the family was required gradually to undress while b…
Good vibrations
This paper develops a new model for the action of psychoanalysis based on concepts from non-linear dynamics (chaos theory and complexity theory). It shows that the analyst-analysand couple may be conceptualized as a new configuration with its own properties that promote complex development in both members of the couple. These developments are an emergent result of the formation of the analyst-analysand couple and are significantly independent of …

The Importance of Being Fuzzy and the Importance of Being Precise
Chaotic possibilities
Most psychoanalytic models of development and change assume an orderly, sequential and predetermined unfolding of psychological functions and structures. Interferences with orderly unfolding challenge the individual and may lead to pathology. These models derive from a worldview associated with the descriptions of change through linear differential equations, which predict a smooth, orderly world. The study of complex systems and their associated…
The Death of the Analyst
A few heroic analysts have described their work in the face of life-threatening illness. However, there are only limited descriptions of these illnesses and deaths from the patient's point of view. Experiences of less heroic colleagues are almost unavailable. Clinical experience with ten patients whose previous analyst died while they were in treatment, two whose analyst died shortly after termination, and two terminally ill colleagues who sought…
Finding Our Way in Perplexity
As preconceptions about the meaning of sexual orientation are increasingly abandoned, analysts are left with the question of how these matters are to be addressed in clinical work. These problems are explored as they emerged in analytic work between a “gay” man and a “straight” analyst. Emphasis is placed on how the search for personal meaning is impacted by the intellectual and social context inhabited by analyst and patient

Psychoanalysis and Dynamical Systems Theory
The theory of dynamical systems (sometimes called chaos theory) has emerged in the past two decades as a powerful tool for understanding the evolution of complex systems. Attempts to develop psychoanalysis along the lines of nineteenth century physical science have proven unsatisfactory. The theory of dynamical systems provides another route for development. It suggests that prediction should aim at describing the overall evolution of systems and…

On the Efficacy of Psychoanalysis
In this study we critically review the formal research literature pertinent to the outcomes of psychoanalysis and the factors influencing these outcomes. Our inquiry was conducted from a psychoanalytic perspective. We found the research yield consistent with the accumulated body of clinically derived psychoanalytic knowledge, e.g., patients suitable for psychoanalysis derive substantial therapeutic benefit; analyzability and therapeutic benefit a…
Event Theory
On Working Through
Working through is centrally important to clinical psychoanalysis. It is inadequately explained in analytic theory. An artificial intelligence model of the process is proposed. Models of problem solving show that the complexity of necessary computation is an important determinant of how a problem is solved. Not optimal, but only good enough solutions are usually found. The quality of solutions depends on the time and resources available. Generall…

Qualitative Change from Quantitative Change
The relation of qualitative change to quantitative change is important to psychoanalytic theory. Until recently no tools were available for dealing with the problem, but the development of catastrophe theory has provided methods for studying it. Psychoanalytic investigators might benefit from the methods of catastrophe theory, and dilemmas arising from the supposed impossibility of relating quantity to quality are seen to allow of solution
