The Embodied Liminal in Language
The Echo(location) of Identity
Sense and Sensibility
This discussion focuses on Dr Huang’s use of the esthetic, her experience of the “ineffable” in treatment, and the limitations of spoken language in capturing affect, which are enacted in her essay. I elaborate on art as a medium that accesses unformulated experience that is known through a feeling but not yet cognized or worded, and suggest that the esthetic moment we experience via various art mediums provides a non-languaged symbolization that…
Why We Need Art
This essay addresses some of Philip Bromberg’s ideas regarding “other ways of knowing” as important, implicit communications that can yield information about early attachment(s), and relational ruptures. Because they convey meaning through the senses and not through spoken language, they potentially serve as a means of perceptual symbolization. Bromberg privileged implicit knowing in his clinical work, and considered art in all of its manifestati…
Dancing with the Shadow of the Object
In my discussion of Dawn Farber’s evocative essay on Tango and Psychoanalysis (this issue) I focus on the body and its affective repertoire as well as its sensorial physicality as our first means of knowing and the primary channel for the symbolization of affect that remains unformulated and is connected to the loss of primary attachments
Liminal Space, Sexuality, and the Language of #MeToo

My essay address…
On Being Bad and Good
This essay focuses on Muriel Dimen’s work on ambivalence as an important factor in female identity formation through a parallel with Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend novels
Building a Bridge Across the Ocean
This essay is a commentary on the dialogue between Adrienne Harris and David Lichtenstein and aims to address the points of contact and divergence between relational and Lacanian perspectives. As a starting point, I focus on issues that are central to both schools of thought, including (but not limited to) the self as subject, transference and countertransference, the analytic relationship, interpretation, transformation and the goals of treatmen…

Giving Body to Thought Entwinements Between Women
This essay explores the entanglements concerning sexuality and femininity that take place in the treatment relationship between female analysts and female patients. Focusing on the female analyst's contribution by way of her embodied gender and its symbolic functions, it advocates that women seek something specific to their sexual identities from other women and that, as women analysts, we can provide a gendered container for our patients' concre…
