Enquiries into virulent identifications
Unquestioned vicious identifications with dubious (e.g. political) figures seem central in today's multiple crises. As in former dark times, when M. Klein described the dynamics triggered by an 'inner Hitler', the approach offered in this contribution is to explore present forms, which we meet in the consulting room. As will be shown, a crucial step in this process lies in working through those challenges in the countertranserence
Thinking about encountering masochism/masochistic elements in analytic practice in the Kleinian tradition then and now
Masochistic elements are puzzling entanglements for most of us in the beginning. Taking Melanie Klein's attempts to think about them thus show one way how to make sense of them. Starting from her struggles with masochistic symptoms in child analyses in the early 1920ies Melanie Klein tried to conceptualize those experiences in a way that could help to fact them in the analytic process. In this article the development is outlined, the move from th…
Psychoanalytic training in the Eitingon model and its controversies: A way forward
Psychoanalytic training has been an object of controversy for many years. Arguments have been intense about the details, sometimes called "requirements", and particularly over whether or not training institutes should have routine external validation. We describe these arguments and present preliminary conclusions about the core challenges psychoanalytic trainings face using a unique set of detailed observations collected during structured "conve…
Herbert Rosenfeld in Germany: On the seductive/corruptive effect of idealizing destructive elements then and now
In connection with a conference in memory of Herbert Rosenfeld in 2014 in his home town of Nuremberg, from which he had to flee in 1935, the author did some research on the work of this outstanding, later British, psychoanalyst in Germany. The first results are presented here. How the first links came about remains unclear, but a few of his articles were published in German from 1955, and in the 1970s he held occasional seminars in Munich. His co…
On the reception of the concept of the death drive in Germany: Expressing and resisting an ‘evil principle’
With Beyond the Pleasure Principle, Freud attempted 'to describe and to account for the facts of daily observation in our field of study' (1920, p. 7), in particular concerning destructive clinical phenomena that confront us in the analytic situation: traumatic neuroses, melancholic states, negative-therapeutic reactions, masochism, repetition compulsion and so on. The author demonstrates in the first section how Freud's own resistance - later se…

Melanie Klein in Berlin: Her First Psychoanalyses of Children offers a detailed comparative analysis of both published and unpublished material from the Melanie Klein Archives.
