Erich Fromm’s social psychoanalysis
This article addresses the place of society in Erich Fromm's pioneering psychoanalytic work and in the evolution of interpersonal theory and practice. It suggests that there is much to be gained from a re-examination of Fromm's politically progressive perspective. By bridging sociology and psychoanalysis, Fromm developed a new approach known as “social psychoanalysis,” which sought to explain and understand the centrality of society in human expe…
Learning to embrace discomfort
Edge of Catastrophe
The prominent 20th-century public intellectual and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm is recognized for his courageous stand against fascism and human destructiveness. Until now, however, little has been known about the extent to which Fromm’s personal experience of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust shaped his outlook. This book introduces for the first time the unpublished Holocaust correspondence in Fromm’s family. The letters shed light on Fromm’s life as…
Culture, Politics and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis
Recognizing White Racism in Canada
When addressing the pernicious effects of racial discrimination, majority white psychoanalysts and psychotherapists like to believe that their psychological awareness enables them to avoid engaging in prejudice and racism. As a result, when asked to acknowledge their implication in systemic racism, powerful counter-reactions from shame and guilt to feelings of vulnerability and discomfort result. Meaningful dialogue about white racism and the eff…
Facing the Nazi Past
This article considers how history flows through us in ways that are both conscious and unconscious and examines the effects of the Nazi past and the Holocaust into the present. I maintain that individual experience is always permeated by the memories and narratives of those who came before us and that even when the past is shrouded in silence, we are confronted with its meanings and consequences. Using my own German family history as the site of…
History Flows through Us
Limits of understanding
What Is Cultural Psychoanalysis? Psychoanalytic Anthropology and the Interpersonal Tradition
In light of the recent emphasis on social and cultural factors in psychoanalytic theory and practice, this article will elaborate earlier attempts to bridge psychoanalysis and the study of culture. I begin by considering the disciplinary tension between the fields of psychoanalysis and anthropology and the emergence of a "psychoanalytic anthropology," which began in the 1920s and lasted through the 1950s. I then turn to the works of Harry Stack S…
On the Nature and Meaning of Human Finitude
Psychoanalysis, religion, philosophy and the possibility for dialogue
This article considers the longstanding disciplinary tensions between psychoanalysis, religion, and philosophy. It argues for a cross-disciplinary understanding of human experience by examining the relationship of Sigmund Freud to his two Swiss colleagues, Ludwig Binswanger and Oskar Pfister. In contrast to Freud's avowed atheism and pronounced ambivalence on philosophy, Binswanger and Pfister both professed a strong religious sensibility and phi…

A hermeneutics of exploration

Binswanger, Heidegger, and Antisemitism
The Existential and the Interpersonal
The Swiss psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger is commonly known as the founder of “existential analysis.” The purpose of this article is to introduce the larger scope and relevance of Binswanger’s work by drawing, above, all on untranslated texts. The author shows how Binswanger developed a contemporary perspective on self-other interaction with important clinical implications for our understanding of the therapeutic process. The article examines the …
Intersubjectivity and the Philosophical Tradition
Existential analysis
Language, communication and therapeutic interaction
The impact of language on human development and experience is of central concern to psychotherapists and philosophers alike. However, there has been an over‐valuation of the linguistic dimension in much recent thought I argue that postmodernism's use of language to define the human subject is reductive since it does not account sufficiently for nonverbal and bodily experience in communication and therapeutic interaction. By drawing on the work of…
Interpreting A Misinterpretation
Etude de la relation personnelle et theorique entre Heidegger et Binswanger a travers la lecture de la correspondance entre les deux penseurs. Au-dela de la critique publique adressee par Heidegger au psychiatre suisse lors du seminaire de Zollikon en novembre 1965, l'A. revise l'interpretation psychologique de la philosophie heideggerienne developpee par Binswanger en termes d'analyse existentielle du Dasein. Soulignant le lien entre psychiatrie…
