How does it make you feel? Understanding the affordances of the Many Minds psycho-social analytic model in child protection research
Recently there has been a growing interest in psychosocial research methods based on psychoanalytically-informed clinical practice. This paper reports on the introduction of the Many Minds approach, a research method for analysing research data, to a group of Norwegian academics. Following an account of the historical and theoretical roots of Many Minds, we explore how the research ‘data’, or research ‘story’ as we refer to the material presented…
In search of a prerequisite for infant participation in pregnancy
Based on the fact that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) gives the right to participate and be heard in situations that affect their lives to all children, even pre-verbal infants, we have looked for the infant voice in parental narratives about their child. Conversations between 16 mothers and a professional at two stages were videotaped and transcribed. The first conversation between mother and midwife took place …
Looking for the infant voice. How depth hermeneutics (scenic-narrative microanalysis) contributes to an understanding of how a child participates from the beginning of life
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) gives the right to participate and be heard in situations that affect their lives to all children, even pre-verbal children and infants. Even so, infants are often denied the right to participate because they don’t possess verbal language. But the last 50 years of infant research has shown how infants powerfully communicate their intentions in quite refined ways. The crux of the mat…

On the psychoanalyst's reverie
This article illustrates the psychoanalyst's reverie as it appeared in analytic work with a child patient who had suffered an early trauma. According to Bion and later Ogden, the analyst's reverie can take many forms, including different sound images. During the analysis of the traumatized child, the analyst's reverie developed from a simple tune derived from an aria belonging to a cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, to a more tangled journey throu…
A temperate presence
Psychoanalytic concepts could be regarded as sensitizing concepts. They are not definite but point in a direction. The concepts of “classical”, “contemporary”, “neutrality” and “subjectivity” could sensitize in different directions. This paper tries to describe and compare how the concepts of “neutrality” and “subjectivity” embrace different meanings and values, and sensitize differently in classical and modern psychoanalysis. The development of …
The ambiguity of the psychoanalytic situation and its relation to the analyst's reverie
This article is about ambiguity in psychoanalysis, an ambiguity that is particularly striking in the psychoanalytic relationship between patient and analyst. The analyst is a professional in his consulting room, in his chair behind the patient, but he is at the same time a figure in the patient’s realization of his inner world of objects. The analyst is a transference figure, but he is also a real person with his own inner private reverie and a s…
“Can you whistle?”
The psychotherapist's or psychoanalyst's subjectivity is an important topic in modern psychoanalysis. In child psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, the therapist's subjectivity can play a central part, first of all as a receptive and understanding organ, but it can also take a more active role. This can be the use of self-disclosure or an active interaction with the child in what the author calls “living through.” Living through consists of the cons…
