Nonverbal Behaviors in the Analytic Situation: The Search for Meaning in Nonverbal Cues
Two extended clinical examples are offered to show the value of attending to nonverbal behaviors in the analytic situation. Such kinesics may be highly charged transference actualizations that lead to the recovery of early memories. The material is viewed primarily from the theoretical standpoint of separation-individuation dynamics. The author argues that nonverbal phenomena should not be viewed as inferior to verbal communications or as less ce…

A Classic Revisited: Loewald on the Therapeutic Action of Psychoanalysis
Versions of the following papers were presented at the panel “Psychoanalytic Classics Revisited: Hans Loewald's ‘On the Therapeutic Action of Psychoanalysis’” (Gerald I. Fogel, chair) at the meetings of the American Psychoanalytic Association, December 1993. As a tribute to Loewald's lifetime of achievement, and in belated recognition of his preeminent position in the field of psychoanalysis, the exchange appears here almost in its entirety, rath…
Touching Limits in the Analytic Dyad
The matter of limits and boundary violations by both parties in the analytic dyad remains an unsettled technical and ethical concern, whether touching has to do with actual physical contact or is expanded in its meaning to include its psychic equivalents. Touching, probing, and breaching of the idiosyncratic perimeters of the private self of one by the other in the dyadic intimacy are necessary components of the healing contact but pose an inevit…

Response to Dr. Rosen's Letter
Clinical and Theoretical Aspects of Enactment
Enactment as a concept can serve analytic discourse through its established meaning of an act intended strongly to influence, persuade, or force another to react. We might agree to use the term in two complementary ways: Broadly, enactment can designate all behaviors of both parties in the analytic relationship, even verbal, in consequence of the intensification of the action intent of our words created by the constraints and regressive push indu…
The Analyst's Insights
The patient's fresh perceptions of himself come through mutative work shared with the analyst in the focused intimacy of their interaction. In finding transferential expectancies realized, the patient can experience these as yet different, providing he has the analyst's optimal participation. In this concurrence of crucial differences he can discount and discard the old perceptions that had shaped his psychic reality, and build out of them fresh …
The Play of Transference: Some Reflections on Enactment In the Psychoanalytic Situation
The incessant play of nonverbal activity between patient and analyst actualizes and amplifies the primary verbal data of the psychoanalytic dialogue. Both parties must inevitably register this kinesic level of communication, and read with capacities acquired in and elaborated from earliest childhood. The analyst's apperceptive (unfocused) looking, as part of his freely hovering attentiveness, utilizes these capabilities gradually to perceive and …

On Antithetic and Metathetic Words in the Analytic Situation
Freud's view of primal words emphasized their origins in the vocal acquisition of language and their similarity to primary process behavior in young children. Our English vernacular is rich in word play of reversals and antitheses, some words being truly ancient, others originating in the subversions of slang and in the child's penchant for mirror imaging and other primary process play. In the regression of analytic work the uttered word can comb…
Some Observations on the Application of Frame Theory to the Psychoanalytic Situation and Process
Frame theory can contribute to our understanding of psychoanalytic work in ways compatible with established psychoanalytic theory. Its concepts and metaphor convey the relativism of the psychic realities both parties bring to the analytic situation, as well as the multiple levels of transference that become framed upon the relationship. Its linkages to game theory stress the power of play and illusion in transference actualization and working thr…
Transference, Psychic Reality, and Countertransference
A return to Freud's broader concepts of transference and psychic reality as general psychological principles would include applying both concepts to the analyst as well as to the patient and thus obviate the need for the concept of countertransference

Emotional Reactions of Rheumatoid Arthritics to ACTH
rheumatoid arthritis and the emotional life of the patient has been widely reported. Little has been written, however, regarding the emotional reactions of arthritics undergoing ACTH therapy. This paper reports a study of the personality pattern of these patients be-fore treatment with ACTH and the changes in these patterns during treatment and after withdrawal of the drug. The patients, twenty-one men and women with rheumatoid arth-ritis (RA) an…
