  • The associations between the maladaptive personality dimensions of neediness and self-criticism, defense styles, selfobject needs, and attachment styles in an Iranian sample

    Shima Tondar, Rui C Campos et al.ARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2017

    The present study extends previous findings by examining whether defense styles, selfobject needs, attachment styles relate to Neediness and Self-Criticism, as maladaptive personality dimensions focused, respectively, on relatedness and self-definition in an Iranian sample. Three hundred and 52 participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire as well as the Persian forms of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire, Experience of Close Rela…

  • An empirical exploration of the dynamics of anorexia nervosa

    Susan A Bers, Avi Besser et al.ARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2013

    Extensive clinical reports and a few empirical investigations indicate that a disrupted relationship with mother and a distorted sense of self are central to Anorexia Nervosa (AN). The present study explores these observations further using the Differentiation–Relatedness Scale (D–RS) to compare AN patients’ descriptions of mother, father, and self with those of matched general psychiatric (PC) and nonclinical controls (NC). Results indicate that…

  • The relationships between defenses and experiences of depression

    Rui C Campos, Avi Besser et al.ARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2011

    This study examined the relationships between defenses and depressive expe-riences. Two questionnaires, in counterbalanced order, were administered to a community sample of 205 adults: the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire

  • Systematic empirical investigation of vulnerability to postpartum depression from a psychodynamic perspective

    Avi Besser, Nicole Vliegen et al.ARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2008

    In a recent paper, Lawrence Blum (2007) identified emotional conflicts in three areas typical in postpartum depression: (1) dependency, (2) aggression, and (3) motherhood. In this commentary, the authors consider agreements and disagreements with Blum's views on the psychodynalmics of postpartum depression. In contrast to Blum's assertion, a theoretically derived extensive empirical psychoanalytic database exists which confirms and extends Blum's…

  • Identity consolidation and internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors in early adolescence

    Avi Besser, Sidney J BlattARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2007

    Externalizing and internalizing problems as measured on the Youth Self Report (YSR; Achenbach, 1991a) among early adolescent boys and girls were related to the conceptual level (CL; Blatt, Chevron, Quinlan, Schaffer, & Wein, 1988) with which children described their mothers and fathers. Scoring of these descriptions using the Children’s version (CORI; Waniel, Besser, & Priel, 2006) of the Object Relations Inventory (ORI; Blatt et al., 1988) indic…

  • Six-week postpartum maternal self-criticism and dependency and 4-month mother-infant self- and interactive contingencies

    Beatrice Beebe, Joseph Jaffe et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2007Citada por: 18Referências: 12

    Associations of 6-week postpartum maternal self-criticism and dependency with 4-month mother-infant self- and interactive contingencies during face-to-face play were investigated in 126 dyads. Infant and mother face, gaze, touch, and vocal quality were coded second by second from split-screen videotape. Self- and interactive contingencies were defined as auto- and lagged cross-correlation, respectively, using multilevel time-series models. Statis…

  • Vicissitudes of the impetus for growth and change among emerging adults

    Shmuel Shulman, Sidney J Blatt et al.ARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2006

    The aim of this study was to understand why some emerging adults pursue their goals in effective ways while others become involved in projects or set goals that collapse after a period of time. In order to examine the inner processes which may explain this phenomenon, in-depth interviews were conducted with 70 emerging adults aged 21 to 26. The interviews revealed two main modes in the pursuit of goals among emerging adults. In the “doing-oriente…

  • The Extended Journey and Transition to Adulthood

    Shmuel Shulman, Sidney J Blatt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth Studies2006Citada por: 4Referências: 7

    Employing a focus group methodology, this study examined the meaning and the role of extended journeys of 30 Israeli emerging adults within the complexities of this developmental period and within the Israeli cultural context. Qualitative analyses of young people's accounts suggested that the journeys may represent two themes. Firstly, the journey can be understood as personal experimentation in the pursuit of attaining a mature self-identity. Se…

  • Minding the Gap Between Positivism and Hermeneutics in Psychoanalytic Research

    Open AccessSidney J Blatt, Jozef Corveleyn et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American…2006Citada por: 8Referências: 78

    Two quite different cultures are to be found within psychoanalysis, one more clinical in orientation, more focused on meaning and interpretation, and relying primarily on the traditional case study method, the other more research-oriented, focused on cause-and-effect relationships, and relying primarily on methods borrowed from the natural and social sciences. The history of this divide is reviewed and arguments, pro and con, about the potential …

  • Psychoanalysis—With Whom, for What, and How? Comparisons With Psychotherapy

    Open AccessSidney J Blatt, Golan ShaharARTICLEJournal of the American…2004Citada por: 9Referências: 84

    If psychoanalytic treatment is to survive in the era of evidence-based medicine and managed care systems, empirical evidence is needed to demonstrate its unique nature and effectiveness. To address this need, comprehensive analyses were conducted of data from the Menninger Psychotherapy Research Project (Wallerstein 1986). These analyses addressed three questions: (1) What are the differences in outcome between psychoanalysis (PSA) and supportive…

  • Mixed anaclitic-introjective psychopathology in treatment-resistant inpatients undergoing psychoanalytic psychotherapy

    Golan Shahar, Sidney J Blatt et al.ARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2003

    Utilizing data from the Riggs-Yale Project, 45 male and 45 female 18–29-year-old treatment-resistant inpatients undergoing intensive psychoanalytically ori-ented treatment were studied. Twenty-seven mixed-type anaclitic–introjectiveinpatients were compared with 29 “pure” anaclitic and 34 “pure” introjectiveinpatients. At intake, mixed-type inpatients were more clinically impaired (i.e.,were more symptomatic, cognitively impaired, and thought diso…

  • Interpersonal relatedness, self-definition, and their motivational orientation during adolescence

    Golan Shahar, Christopher C Henrich et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2003Citada por: 19Referências: 68

    The authors examined a theoretical model linking interpersonal relatedness and self-definition (S.J. Blatt, 1974), autonomous and controlled regulation (E. L. Deci & R. M. Ryan, 1985), and negative and positive life events in adolescence (N = 860). They hypothesized that motivational orientation would mediate the effects of interpersonal relatedness and self-definition on life events. Self-criticism, a maladaptive form of self-definition, predict…

  • Self-reflexivity, intersubjectivity, and therapeutic change

    John S Auerbach, Sidney J BlattARTICLEPsychoanalytic Psychology2001

    Intersubjectivity theory holds that the self forms through relationships with others in a dialectic process. Although affect attunement is central to early self-other differentiation, infants do not see themselves as separate entities until 18 months and their minds as separate until approximately age 4. Transitional object relatedness thus often influences early childhood functioning. In self disorders, childhood disruptions in intersubjectivity…
