A metapsychological framework for sadomasochism
The authors present a summary of sadomasochism, its centrality in all pathology and the difficulties encountered by all analysts in working with sadomasochism. An integrative model is presented with determinants and manifestations from all phases of development, including the transmission of pathology between generations. Addiction to pain and the formation of hostile omnipotent beliefs are described as components of sadomasochism that explain ho…
Maîtrise ou traumatisme: Le Choix Adolescent
Une description complète de l’adolescence peut être faite à partir d’un modèle conceptuel articulant deux types de systèmes, ouverts et fermés. Loin de représenter des catégories diagnostiques, ces systèmes sont des constructions illustrant différents choix possibles, pour l’adolescent, d’adaptation à un moment critique de son développement. Les systèmes ouverts signent l’effort pour transformer le soi, tandis que les systèmes fermés indiquent un…

Love in the Therapeutic Alliance
Volumes have been written about the patient's love for the therapist, but there has been relatively little discussion of the therapist's love for the patient. In an attempt to create a theoretical and technical space for discussing the appropriateness and role of love in the therapeutic relationship, a revised concept of the therapeutic alliance is applied to provide technical guidelines and understanding of two kinds of love between patient and …

An Application of the Concept of the Therapeutic Alliance To Sadomasochistic Pathology
This paper traces the history of the therapeutic alliance concept, examining how it has been used and misused, at times elevated to a central position and at others rejected altogether. The loss of this concept created a vacuum in classical psychoanalysis that has been filled by rival theories. The continuing usefulness of looking at the treatment process through the lens of the therapeutic alliance, particularly in relation to the manifold diffi…
Postoedipal Transformations: Latency, Adolescence, and Pathogenesis
There is a tendency in psychoanalysis to seek ever earlier determinants of pathology. One effect of this search is to relegate adult memories of latency and adolescence to serving mainly a defensive screen function. Psychoanalytic material from child and adolescent cases is used in this paper to illuminate postoedipal developmental transformations. These findings are applied to the understanding and technique of work with adults. Alertness to lat…
Some Comments on Masochism and the Delusion of Omnipotence From A Developmental Perspective
This paper explores the relation of the delusion of omnipotence to masochism and suggests that this fantasy constitutes a major component of the resistance so prominent in work with masochistic patients. The connections among masochism, omnipotence, negative therapeutic reaction, and clinging to pain are discussed. The classical view has been that the failure of infantile omnipotence forces the child to turn to reality. Our experience with masoch…
