  • Maternal Self-Critical and Dependent Personality Styles and Mother-Infant Communication

    Open AccessBeatrice Beebe, Frank M Lachmann et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American…2017Cited by: 2References: 32

    This study investigated mother-infant communication in relation to Blatt’s measures of adult personality organization, namely, interpersonal relatedness and self-definition, defining the higher ends of these two measures as dependency and self-criticism, respectively. A nonclinical sample of 126 mother-infant dyads provided the data. An evaluation of maternal self-criticism and dependency was made six weeks postpartum; four months postpartum, mot…

  • Life begins on an ant farm for two patients with Asperger's syndrome

    Eva-Maria Topel, Frank M LachmannARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2008

    Asperger’s syndrome, a pervasive developmental disorder first diagnosed in childhood, is characterized by severe impairment in social interactions, com-munication, and stereotypic behavior. In this paper, the authors expand a prevailing emphasis on behavioral-educational treatments, by presenting an approach that focuses on psychodynamic factors, nonverbal communication, and animal assisted psychotherapy. The authors describe interactions between…

  • Identity and self

    Frank M LachmannARTICLEInternational Forum of…2004

    A historical overview of the evolution of “identity” indicates that this term was more commonly used prior to the elaboration of the sense of self. Erik Erikson and Heinz Lichtenstein elaborated “identity” in their epigenetic and clinical theories, respectively, and were criticized by psychoanalysts for relying on social, cultural, anthropological data rather than psychoanalytic treatment. Formulations with respect to “identity formation” subsequ…

  • A Farewell to Countertransference

    Frank M LachmannARTICLEInternational Forum of…2001

    The "discovery" of countertransference provided a much-needed corrective to the one-sided view of transference and a patient's pathology. Even if its usefulness in the development of psychoanalysis was indisputable, its days are numbered. When I present my clinical work at conferences, I am often asked questions about my countertransference. These questions contain numerous assumptions that are challenged in this paper. Treatment is discussed fro…

  • Mother—infant interaction structures and presymbolic self‐ and object representations

    Beatrice Beebe, Frank M Lachmann et al.ARTICLEPsychoanalytic Dialogues1997

    Using research on the purely social face‐to‐face exchange, we examine patterns of mother—infant interaction and their relevance for the presymbolic origins of self and object representations, focusing on the representation of inter‐relatedness between self and object. Based on a dyadic systems view in which the system is defined by both self‐ and interactive‐regulation processes, we argue that characteristic patterns of self and interactive regul…

  • The personification of evil

    Annette Lachmann, Frank M LachmannARTICLEInternational Forum of…1995

    A serial killer is born when early experiences of abuse, deprivation, and deception lead to a specific fantasy system and motivations. The premeditation before the killing, its viciousness, and its apparent motivelessness mark the serial killer as the personification of evil. We summarize the stories of three serial killers, Henry Lee Lucas, Randall Woodfield, and Theodore Robert Bundy, based on reports and interviews conducted by journalists, fo…

    The Importance of Gender in Psychoanalytic Relations (Discussion). Int Forum Psychoanal 1992;1:32-36. Stockholm. ISSN 0803-706X Patients assimilate the analyst's gender, appearance, age and the prevailing cultural climate into the transference. Differences in gender between analyst and patient may stir up a variety of social conventions, stereotypes and characterological ways of relating to same or different gendered people. Analytic inquiry must…

  • Model Scenes

    Open AccessFrank M Lachmann, Joseph D Lichtenberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American…1992Cited by: 5References: 11

    Model scenes are constructed by analyst and patient to organize puzzling information, integrate previous understanding, and initiate further exploration of experience. They are derived from a variety of sources: literature (oedipal myth); transference; ordinary or traumatic childhood events that occupy a pivotal position. Model scenes may conceptualize experiences of any age and motivational system, and are contrasted with screen memories and “te…
