A Framework for the Imaginary
An extraordinary depiction of one analyst's efforts to receive and respond to the vivid impressions of her patients raw and sometimes even unmentalized experiences as they are highlighted in the transference-countertransference connection. Mitrani attempts to feel, suffer, mentally transform, and, finally, verbally construct for and with the patient possible meanings for those immediate versions of lifes earliest experiences as they are re-enacte…
Unintegration, Adhesive Identification, and the Psychic Skin
Discussion of Dr Hinz's contribution
The author places herself in the position of the analyst to 'listen' to a session reported by her German colleague, Dr Hinz; her interpretation of the material presented gives greater importance to the striving of the analysand to have his 'productions' appreciated than the analyst's interpretation of the negative transference aspects attributed to the same material.Key words: chronic constipationanal‐sadistic pleasureanal‐erotic excitementcounte…
Donald Winnicott the Man
Gender identity and creativity
Theatres of the psyche
Fragments of the analytic voyage of a forty year old patient, haunted by the idea of her death since infancy when confronted with the anguish that accompanies the discovery of a potentially death dealing illness. In three years of intensive analytic work, her way of functioning psychically changed dramatically (her flight from imaginative life, total disaffectation of her emotional life, psychic deafness regarding her body and its messages...). T…
Violence and creativity
This paper seeks to delineate certain violent aspects of the creative act. Following Freud and Witmicott, the author describes how the individual uses perceptual as well as concrete material to express his/her psychic reality. The active use of this material—similar to play—is decribed in terms of a violent act: the artist forces paint, marble, sounds or words into a configuration that is exclusively his/her own, and this is frequently experience…
The many faces of Eros
The many faces of Eros
A mature, considered presentation of [McDougall's] current thinking on sexuality . . . simultaneously impassioned and dispassionate, erudite and plain-spoken, conservative in her insistence on basic psychoanalytic assumptions and radical in her celebration of intimate human diversity. --Contemporary Psychology
Un Bouclier Dans L'Economie Des Etats Limites
Sexual identity, trauma and creativity 1
Starting with the credo that it is the healthy part of the personality that allows a person to be creative, the author investigates factors behind failures to create. First the relation to the external world is considered, followed by a more detailed discussion of factors pertaining to the internal world: the role of pregenital sexuality, and the importance of the universal bisexual wishes. Possible reasons for differences between the sexes are i…
The “Dis-Affected” Patient
The author attempts to conceptualize a phenomenon that frequently passes unnoticed for a considerable period of time in the course of an analysis. An apparently "normal" psychoanalytic discourse may reveal that the analysand who produces it is using words and ideas that are largely, perhaps totally, devoid of affect for him; instead, the analyst tends to become "affected." This may appear in a wide variety of clinical categories: "narcissistic pe…
Female Sexuality
Female Sexuality represents a distinct contribution to the psychoanalytic study of feminine psychology and sexual identity. First published in France as Recherches psychanalytiques nouvelles sur la sexualite feminine, the book consists of six major essays and a comprehensive introduction which reviews the various approaches to the subject. Freudian and non-Freudian views on female sexuality are carefully examined, thus providing a valuable perspe…
