Unconscious auto-censorship in academic inquiry: A Personal Account
The curse of the thinking woman: Encoded misogyny in the brilliant female detective
The enormously popular contemporary genre of televised police procedurals that feature a brilliant female detective reflects and reifies enduring misogynistic beliefs and attitudes that pervade the cultural fantasies and social mores of our time. In her current form, the prototypical female protagonist of these series adheres to a rigid, stereotypical formulation that limits her capacity for mature, healthy object relations. In particular, her si…
The Transformation of Aesthetic Precedent in the Art of Sieg Maandag
The oeuvre of the Dutch artist and Holocaust victim Sieg Maandag constitutes an important addition to the psychoanalytic discourse around the art of trauma. The author enumerates and underlines the cumulative traumatic losses that mark Maandag's experience as a child in the Bergen-Belsen Nazi concentration camp, including the loss of much of his family, and argues that these losses factor significantly among those traumas that could not sustain a…
Sex, subtext, ur- text: Freud, Dora and the suggestive text
The intertextual analysis of Dora illuminates an aspect of the cultural matrix that informed Freud's theory-building. Specifically, the trope of the suggestive text, a literal and symbolic agent of transgressive influence, signals an intertextual relationship between the case history and a vein of literary fiction that includes novels by some of Freud's favourite authors: Cervantes ( Don Quijote ), Flaubert ( Madame Bovary ) and Zola ( Page d'amo…

Mind as text: Freud’s “typographical” model of the mind
All publications in Freud's fin de siècle society were subject to strict governmental censorship specifically tasked with distinguishing "real" academic scholarship from subversive "fictions" masquerading as such. Cures that relied on suggestion also became a target of mistrust. This contextualization, alongside the examination of Freud's literary references and a variety of other literary texts, encourages the conjecture that realistic concerns …
Embodying disillusionment: Poussin’s blinded giants
Extending the traditional view of the giant of ancient myth as the personification of the father, the giant also affords the metaphorical elaboration of infantile fantasies of grandiosity derived from identification with the omnipotent parent. Conversely, the fallen and typically blinded giant embodies disillusionment : with the idealised parental imago, and also with one's own illusions of omnipotence. Nicolas Poussin's successive aesthetic inte…
The Fullness of the Infinite”: Introduction to Disillusionment Papers
The Erotics of Knowing: A Neglected Contribution to Analytic Erotism
An erotics of knowing is posited that comprises embodied aspects of psychological and emotional closeness, and derives not from transference dynamics but from psychological and emotional intimacy—both component and consequence of the analytic process. The experience of knowing and being known is invested with erotism via its interpenetrative and interreceptive aspects; regardless of gender, to know the other is to enter a hidden interior “space” …
A Veritable Murder: Émile Zola, His Friend Paul Cézanne, and His Book L'Œuvre
A close reading of Émile Zola's L'Œuvre, whose protagonist is modeled on his childhood friend, Paul Cézanne, reveals that the novel, long held responsible for the acute demise of their relationship, is rather an unwitting chronicle of its slow decline. Considered alongside the Cézanne-Zola correspondence and set in the context of historical and biographical data, L'Œuvre Illuminates a complex and important relationship, bringing into sharp focus …
Resurrecting Oedipus: Poussin’s Birth of Bacchus
Grief and its transcendence: Memory, Identity, Creativity
Grief and its Transcendence: Memory, Identity, Creativity is a landmark contribution that provides fresh insights into the experience and process of mourning. It includes fourteen original essays by pre-eminent psychoanalysts, historians, classicists, theologians, architects, art-historians and artists, that take on the subject of normal, rather than pathological mourning. In particular, it considers the diversity of the mourning process; the ber…
Text As Muse, Muse As Text: Janáček, Kamila, and the Role of Fantasy in Musical Creativity
The essay provides a detailed reading and analysis of Leoš Janáček’s letters to his late-life muse, Kamila Stösslová. By placing the letters alongside the literary texts on which Janáček based his important late works, it provides insight into the tangle of emotions and conflicts that he organized within the rubric of fantasy. Janáček’s muse was also “composed”: the contours of the person he loved and his relationship to her were not only rooted …
The Blossoms of Loss: Ovid’s Floral Metamorphoses and Poussin’s Realm of Flora
Alluring and fertile, the flower connotes a locus of desire. The floral metamorphic myths narrated in Ovid's Metamorphoses (AD 8a) thematize the price of desire--the shame, grief, and rage of rejection and rivalrous defeat--and symbolize the generative transformation that frustrated desire and competitive loss can promote. In the deceptively beautiful painting Realm of Flora of 1631, Nicolas Poussin enlists these myths as allegories of his own gr…
Under the mirror of the sleeping water: Poussin's Narcissus
Examined in conjunction with a close reading of Ovid's Metamorphoses, Nicolas Poussin's four paintings on the preoccupying theme of Narcissus and Echo reflect a developing aesthetic interpretation of its textual source. Poussin's reflective vision supports a radical reappraisal of the enigmatic myth at the heart of psychoanalytic theory and practice, in which Narcissus is construed as a far more object-related figure that seeks the formative, aff…
To Half Believe and Wholly Play: Dialectics of Reality in Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Two Bad Mice
The essay examines how the commandeered dollhouse of Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Two Bad Mice is both allegorical stage and symbolic container of the inner life of the child—in particular, the oscillatory play between the real and the fantastic. These dialectics are masterfully dramatized in the narrative and woven into the fabric of the prose. Enjoining them to “play” along, Potter reassures the young reader that in spite of their “bad” impulse…
Angel With a Missing Wing: Loss, Restitution, and the Embodied Self in the Photography of Josef Sudek
Contextualized within his life story and his political and cultural milieu, the author interprets Josef Sudek's quest to find what had been lost as a driving force behind his life's work. Through the analysis of his photographic oeuvre, this essay will build a conceptual bridge between Sigmund Freud's formulations on mourning and identification, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theory of the embodied self. Synthesizing these contributions with Melanie…

Set This House on Fire: The Self-Analysis of Raymond Carver
The convergence of features of Raymond Carver's short-story oeuvre and of psychoanalytic methodology suggests that Carver's writing served as the fulcrum and focus of a self-analytic experience. Within this model, his stories function as container and mirror of myriad aspects of the writer's self. Tracing the developmental arc of the contextual meanings of one motif--fire--through six stories and their ur-texts demonstrates gains comparable to ce…
Metamorphosis and the aesthetics of loss: I. Mourning Daphne –The Apollo and Daphne paintings of Nicolas Poussin
The myth of Apollo and Daphne, as told in Ovid's Metamorphoses, is viewed through the self-referential eye of the seicento painter, Nicolas Poussin. Collectively, the tree-metaphoric myths are argued to metaphorically represent, mourn, and negate unbearable realities, including the developmental challenges of adolescence and adulthood - in particular, loss. Examined in the context of their aesthetic precedents and a close reading of Ovid 's text,…
Metamorphosis and the aesthetics of loss: II. Lady of the woods–The transformative lens of Francesca Woodman
As interpreted by the celebrated American photographer, Francesca Woodman, the myth of Apollo and Daphne forms an allegorical locus for the transitions and tensions of adolescence and young adulthood. Woodman's employment of this myth and related themes is also expressive of a preoccupying topos of regressive longings. Seamlessly extending Ovid's transformation of the metamorphic myths into poetic epic, her work delves deeply into their driving p…
Design as Dream and Self-Representation: Philip Johnson and the Glass House of Atreus
Philip Johnson’s masterpiece—the Glass House—is compared to a dream and conceptualized as containing encrypted and embedded representations of the self. Freud’s masterpiece— The Interpretation of Dreams —is the theoretical and methodological model for this approach to design-as-dream. Drawing on Johnson’s words and forms set in biographical, historical, and cultural context, interpretive paths are traced from manifest design elements of the Glass…
The Path of Phocion: Disgrace and Disavowal at the Philip Johnson Glass House
Philip Johnson graced his iconic Glass House with a single seicento painting, Landscape with the Burial of Phocion by Nicolas Poussin, an intrinsic signifier of the building that frames it. Analyzed within its physical, cultural, and political context, Burial of Phocion condenses displaced, interlacing representations of disavowed aspects of Johnson's identity, including forbidden strivings for greatness and power, the haunting legacy of the less…

Romantic Fantasies of Madness and Objections to Psychotropic Medication
Many patients object to, and often refuse, psychotropic medications. The exploration—a “defense analysis”—of their objections brings attention to ubiquitous fantasies of madness, which may be feared and concealed as a source of shame, destruction, and loss, and also cherished and revered as a source of power, inspiration, and mystery. They are commonly illuminated when the prospect of taking medication threatens to expose, confirm, and defuse the…
Medication as Object
People experience and treat medication as though it were a person: in other words, as an object. Among the many symbolic meanings attributed to medication, this sort of personification, or object representation, is a meaning that medication is uniquely positioned to contain and convey: imbued with intentionality and influence, medication moves beyond the sphere of static, iconic representation and enters the changeable, dynamic object world of ac…
