Erik Erikson and His Problematic Identity
In his psychohistorical biographies of Luther and Gandhi, Erik Erikson proposed that great issues of a particular time and place, as experienced by sensitive and creative individuals who are working to resolve their inner conflicts within these contexts, could find solutions that transcend themselves and yield conceptualizations that transform the world. Although Erikson was able to create a conceptualization of the adolescent task of establishin…

Will psychoanalysis fulfill its promise
Although Freud had aspirations of a university structure for psychoanalytic education the sociopolitical structure of the Austro-Hungarian empire precluded this, and psychoanalysis developed by default in the central European heartland within a part-time, private-practice educational structure. With its rapid spread in the post-World-War-II United States, and its ready penetration of American academic psychiatry, a counter educational structure a…

Psychoanalysis in the university
Psychoanalysis as a theory of human mental functioning and a derived therapeutic for disturbed functioning would have its natural home in the university, and Freud gave evidence of harboring such an ambition. But the sociopolitical structure of the early 20th century Austro-Hungarian Empire precluded this, and analysis developed, by default, its part-time, private practice-based educational structure. Psychoanalytic penetration of academic psychi…
The Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM)
The declaredly atheoretical DSM-III (and its successors), the diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association, was created to enhance diagnostic reliability for research, epidemiological survey, and governmental and insurance categorization and reimbursement purposes. It has, however, exhibited many inadequacies for psychodynamic diagnosis and case for- mulation for treatment planning and outcome assessment, and its claimed diagnostic r…
The Transformative Odyssey of James T. McLaughlin
James McLaughlin was one of a handful of eminent American psychoanalysts, trained within the confines of the then-dominant ego psychology mold in the 1950s and 1960s, who led the growing acceptance of the more flexibly nuanced two-person psychology, associated with the "relational turn." This transformation is traced in McLaughlin's writings as they evolved from his early papers through his capstone summarizing book. McLaughlin is shown to have b…
Psychoanalysis in the university
Psychoanalysis may be unique among scholarly disciplines and professions in having grown as an educational enterprise in a private part-time setting, outside the university. Freud would have liked it to be otherwise, but in Central Europe, when it was created, university placement was not possible. In America, after World War II, the concept of the medical school department of psychiatry psychoanalytic institute was established in some psychoanal…
What kind of research in psychoanalytic science
The kind of science that psychoanalysis is (can be), and the kind of research appropriate to it, qualitative and/or quantitative, have been divisive issues from the very inception of the discipline. I explore in detail the complexity of these issues, definitional and semantic, as well as methodological and substantive. A plea is made for the application of qualitative (idiographic)and quantitative (nomothetic) research methods, each to the extent…

The Optimal Structure for Psychoanalytic Education Today
Our psychoanalytic training system, close to a century old, has been subjected to increasing criticism, starting shortly after its creation, for failing to properly fulfill its avowed purposes. The most intense critiques have centered around the authoritarian power lodged in a self-selected training analyst elite, the inadequate development of a psychoanalytic research tradition, and the isolation of our educational structure from cognate discipl…

The Growth and Transformation of American Ego Psychology
The roots of ego psychology trace back to Sigmund Freud's The Ego and the Id (1923) and “Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety” (1926), works followed by two additional fundaments, Anna Freud's The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense (1936) and Heinz Hartmann's Ego Psychology and the Problem of Adaptation (1939). It was brought to full flowering in post—World War II America by Hartmann and his many collaborators, and for over two decades it maintained …

The trajectory of psychoanalysis
I present an overview of the development to this point of psychoanalysis as a discipline'both as a theory of the mind and a treatment of the disorders of the mind' and offer a prediction concerning evolving development over its (near) future. My focus is on the coherence of psychoanalysis as a theoretical structure, starting with Freud's strenuous endeavours to maintain the psychoanalysis that he had single-handedly created as a unitary and unifi…

The New American Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis, Psychoanalytic Science, and Psychoanalytic Research-1986
The present standing of psychoanalysis as a science and the vitality of psychoanalytic research effort are reviewed. The two are interdependent, since the possibilities for empirical research rest on the necessary assumption that psychoanalysis is indeed enough a science to be susceptible to knowledge advance by the (research) methods of science. Concerning our status as a science, I review attacks on our scientific credentials (both from within …

The Future of Psychoanalysis
We have tried, in a necessarily kaleidoscopic and highly condensed manner, to highlight our perspectives on the foreseeable future of psychoanalysis, along a number of interrelated but clearly distinct dimensions. Our discussion has dealt with the nature of our field as a science and also as a discipline, the nature of the training for it, the nature of its research, and the nature and scope of its professional practice. In all of these areas, ma…

It describes the official involvement of the American Psychoanalytic Association in the support of psychoanalytic research since 1970, and of the International Psychoanalytical Association since the 1980s. In the IPA, this has consisted of the introduction at the 1987 Montreal Congress of two half…

Erikson's Concept of Ego Identity Reconsidered
This paper explores and attempts to explain the paradox that Erik Erikson-after Freud, undoubtedly the psychoanalyst best known, most deeply esteemed, and most widely influential in the sociohistorical surround of world culture-has at the same time never been properly integrated into the psychoanalytic mainstream, but has instead been marginalized, consigned to a persisting psychoanalytic limbo. Two successive contexts within the historical unfol…
Followup in Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis has never developed a tradition of systematic followup study to evaluate outcome and to improve technique and theory for a variety of reasons, partly theoretical, stemming from the conception of the unfolding transference neurosis and its analytic resolution as the precondition for cure, and partly historical, having to do with the happenstance of its development as a private practice–based discipline and training outside of the ac…
Psychic Energy Reconsidered
Problems in the theory of psychic energy and the controversies surrounding them were brought into focus by Robert Wallerstein, in his introductory remarks.He reviewed the early development of the energy theory, from Freud's earliest equation of affect and energy through his reconceptualization of it as the energy of the instinctual drives, an energy that ultimately, through the transformations of neutralization, binding, and fusion, provides the …

Some Psychosomatic Considerations in Addisonʼs Disease
The possible interrelationships of psychic functioning, mental illness, and adrenocortical functioning have been discussed, and the literature on the subject reviewed. An extensive psychiatric study of an individual with well-established Addison's disease has been presented together with some psychodynamic considerations based on this material. A parallel has been suggested between the psychological organization and its behavioral manifestations …
Unusual Wheal Reaction in a Tattoo
Tattooing is a custom that has been widely studied in both the anthropological and, in certain aspects, the psychiatric literature. However, the problem of specific somatic reactions occurring in tattoos has been investigated to date primarily by the allergist and the dermatologist. The patient discussed in this report is one who was being treated by psychotherapy for his neurotic difficulties, and who during the course of this psychiatric invest…
The teaching and learning of psychotherapy.
The authors have tackled the elucidation of the difficult problems of training in psychotherapy. No satisfactory model for supervision has yet been universally acclaimed in the many existent training centers for psychiatrists, social workers, or psychologists who are learning the processes of psychotherapy. The problems involved are represented by a clinical rhombus which involves the administrators, the supervisors, the therapists, and the patie…
The Role of Prediction in Theory Building in Psychoanalysis
Thyroid "Hot Spots"
An attempt to predict the susceptibility to thyrotoxicosis is reported. The investigation focused on people who, although otherwise euthyroid, show foci in the thyroid gland that are hyperavid for iodine ("hot spots"). We assessed the incidence of hot spots in several populations and studied whether hot spots are associated with specific personality characteristics like those typical of patients with thyrotoxicosis. The incidence of hot spots is …

Thyroid “Hot Spots”
The prevalence of thyroid gland “hot spots”--areas which are hyperavid for 131I--is reported for several samples of euthyroid and otherwise normal subjects. A longitudinal study, in progress for 12 years, sought to determine the fate of the hot spot over time, and to ascertain whether or not changes in the hot spot are related to life strain. The results suggest that such a relationship exists and that lige strain, usually prolonged and severe, m…
