Reflections on Creative Aspects of Psychoanalytic Diagnosing
This paper explores the therapeutic value of considering psychoanalytic diagnoses as co-constructions, and emphasizes two interrelated points: First, there are distinctions between medical, psychiatric, and psychoanalytic diagnoses, and similarly, a distinction may be drawn between diagnoses as nouns and the activity of diagnosing. Second, the author stresses that psychoanalytic diagnoses are theory bound. Various competing theories facilitate or…
Some Implications of the Analyst Feeling Disturbed while Working with Disturbed Patients
The analyst's experience of patients' disturbances is explored as an aspect of analytic technique. A number of premises are examined. First, it is expected that the analyst is committed to tolerating and understanding disturbances evoked in him by his patients' personalities and their disturbances. Second, that he regards the disturbances evoked in him as a form of manifest content to be understood in the usual method of association. Third, count…

Commentaries
Psychoanalytic Technique and the Creation of Analysands
This paper discusses prospective analysands who are able but reluctant to pay analysts' fees. The author presents analytic data in which analysts decided to gratify their reluctant analysands by reducing their fees in order to facilitate the subsequent analysis of their reluctance. These examples are employed to discuss the general question of fee reduction
A Perspective on Doing a Consultation and Making the Recommendation of Analysis to a Prospective Analysand
This paper explores the premise that the analyst's optimistic attitude toward the efficacy of analysis significantly enhances the possibility of success in helping prospective analysands accept the recommendation of analysis. This enthusiastic attitude reflects the author's opinion that analysis is the optimal treatment, the best form of psychotherapy for most adults. From this perspective, all patients seen in consultation are regarded as analyz…
Observations on the Utility of Couples Therapy Conducted by a Psychoanalyst—Transference and Countertransference in Resistance to Analysis
This paper explores the premise that conviction concerning the therapeutic efficacy of psychoanalysis combined with a flexible attitude toward the structure of the analytic situation and the parameters of its techniques facilitates the acceptance of psychoanalysis in suitable cases as the treatment of choice. Clinical data from therapy with couples are presented in support of this premise
Sadomasochism in the Neuroses Conceived of as a Pathological Compromise Formation
Masochistic phenomena in adults are discussed as derivatives of conscious and/or unconscious fantasies. These masochistic fantasies are always associated with conscious and/or unconscious narcissistic and sadistic fantasies. These fantasies, like all fantasies in adults, are conceived of as compromise formations. After a selected review of the literature, analytic data are presented to highlight the clinical advantages of a contemporary elaborati…
The Seduction of Money
Un patient recrit son testament: il veut leguer sa fortune a son analyste. L'interpretation dudit: transfert maternel œdipien mal liquide, homosexualite residuelle, volonte de tester la corruptibilite du therapeute. Les fantasmes de don s'apparentent aux fantasmes sexuels
Perspectives On The Superego
Compte-rendu d'une table ronde a la reunion annuelle de l'American Psychoanalytic Association en mai 1983. Entre autres participants: Otto Kernberg, Phyllis Tyson, Leo Rangell. Phases œdipiennes et psychopathologie du surmoi vues par des psychanalystes americains
The Relation Between Masochism And Depression
Fear Of Humiliation
This paper explores the ontogeny of fear of humiliation, conceived of as an important organizing affect-laden fantasy in certain narcissistic personality disorders. The influence of the pleasure of the parental object in sadistically humiliating is emphasized in the overdetermined genesis of this fear. While, in elaboration of Loewenstein's (1957) and Eidelberg's (1959) contributions, "seduction of the humiliator" is a fundamental defensive proce…
Interpretation
Toward a Critique of the Psychology of the Self
A critique of Kohut's "psychology of the self" is presented. This critique derives from the author's view that paradigm competition often unnecessarily polarizes and accentuates differences while obfuscating rather than facilitating communication. An attempt is made to delineate Kohut's valuable contributions and to integrate them within the structural hypothesis . In addition, a critique of a number of issues that are incompletely or "inexactly"…
Psychoanalytic Paradigms And Their Narcissistic Investment
The irrational elements in paradigm evolution, propagation, and competition have been explored. A central premise is that the narcissistic investment of a paradigm is an important contribution to the irrational process of paradigm evolution. Kuhn's (1962, 1970) ideas are summarized. An extrapolation and application of his ideas to the history of the evolution of psychoanalytic paradigms is attempted
