Final report of APA Working Group on Investigation of Memories of Childhood Abuse
The Analytic Present in Psychoanalytic Reconstructions of the Historical Past
The psychoanalytic reconstruction of specific influential past events has been a regular feature of psychoanalytic practice from its inception. More recently, as reconstructions of incestuous sexual abuse have become more frequent, the reconstructive process has attracted attention, and doubts have been expressed about the validity of the analytic evidence used to substantiate their inference. Over the years, psychoanalytic discourse about the ad…

Memory Systems and the Psychoanalytic Retrieval of Memories of Trauma
Increasingly, psychoanalysis has confronted the issue of recovered memories of childhood trauma. Based on trauma research, the concept of a special traumatic memory has evolved. Overwhelming psychic experience is thought to generate a defensively altered state of consciousness (specifically dissociation), which encodes memory in unassimilated visual, somatic, and behavioral. rather than linguistic modes. Analytic reevocation and interpretation of…

Dreams are accorded a special position in the analytic reconstruction of eraly childhood trauma. Because dream content may be influenced by psychic trauma, analytic clinicians can, by interpreting dreams, reconstruct or revive memories of past trauma. In this article, the author offers a critical review of the concept of a traumatic dream, teh relation between dream content and trauma, and the use of dreams to reconstruct trauma
Observations on Psychoanalytic Listening
Psychoanalysis has long presented ideal listening as an oscillation between Freud's "evenly suspended attention" and a more focused attention. This paper explores modes of listening as they are manifest in the author's clinical experience. Two modes are evident: a receptivity, mostly out of awareness, which becomes shaped and primed toward specific expectations; and a concurrent, more conscious and directed mode of listening through specific filt…
Belief and Suggestion in the Recovery of Memories of Childhood Sexual Abuse
The increasingly frequent clinical reports of the recovery of repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse have drawn both skepticism and support in the analytic community. Two contrasting paradigms are offered to account for the processes by which fully repressed memories are recovered. On the one hand, the analyst's belief that one can reconstruct early traumatic experience creates fertile ground for overt and covert suggestion, which, in conju…
Dream Patterns in Anglo and Chicano Young Adults
This study is the conclusion of an exploratory cross-cultural investigation of dream content and organization. Following our report in "Ego Modalities in the Manifest Dreams of Male and Female Chicanos," (Brenneis and Roll, 1975), this paper examines differences in the organization and content of dreams: (1) between Anglo men and women; (2) between Anglo and Chicano men and Anglo and Chicano women; and (3) between Anglos and Chicanos.
Chicano and Anglo Dreams of Death
To replicate an earlier study in which Chicanos reported having more dreams of death than did their Anglo counterparts, we solicited dream reports from eighty Chicanos (forty males and forty females) and eighty Anglos (forty males and forty females). The dreams were scored for the presence of death-related dream content. Chi-square tests revealed a statistically higher number of Chicano females reporting dreams of death (p < .005), but the signif…

Factors Affecting Diagnostic Judgments of Manifest Dream Content in Schizophrenia
Judges with diverse professional training and experience were asked to discriminate the dreams of hospitalized schizophrenics from those of hospitalized nonschizophrenics, a task which proved to be subjectively and objectively extraordinarily difficult. Performing barely above chance expectation as a group, judges tended to be misled by an invalid assumption that material depicting loss of body integrity would be more frequent in the dreams of sc…
