Prologue: Memories and Reflections of Analytic Educators
Epilogue: Memories and Reflections of Analytic Educators
The writing of memoirs is inextricably tied to the ability to look ahead, but also to look backward, to confront change and the progression by which younger generations will overtake and replace us
The Process of Case Writing: A Fourth Pillar of Analytic Training
The educational and clinical effects of the process of case writing during analytic training have not been extensively studied, even though the case report, as a product, has prompted attempts to make it a more revealing and accurate document. Countertransference experiences during an analysis can constrain both the candidate’s writing and the analytic work, while examining them during the writing process can deepen the candidate’s analytic work.…
The great unhappiness of another’: Writers and readers in three stories by Alice Munro
Three Alice Munro stories – ‘Material’, ‘Family Furnishings’ and ‘Fiction’ – feature readers who react to fiction based on material from their own lives. ‘Fiction’ is alone in this group as the story in which the reader is pleased, rather than otherwise, with the story she reads. This different reaction is traced to important aspects of the reader’s characterization. Only in ‘Fiction’ is the reader unrelated to the internal story’s author and not…
When the Analytic Patient has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Most analysts are now treating or can expect to treat adult patients with cognitive deficits such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), based on the prevalence of this syndrome in children and its continuation into adulthood. ADHD is a cognitive disorder considered by nonanalytic and analytic writers to be a dysfunction of affect regulation and behavioral inhibition. Analysis deals with these issues, and most analytic theories addre…
Alice Munro’s Scottish Birthright
For some time, critics have discussed the Scottish elements in a handful of Alice Munro’s stories: references to the Cameronians in “Friend of My Youth” (1990), the Scottish setting and ballad in “
Treatment Preparatory To Psychoanalysis: A Reconsideration After Twenty-Five Years
The author’s initial article on treatment preparatory to psychoanalysis (1983) challenged the long-held belief that a therapy with the same analyst would contaminate a subsequent analytic transference. The current article reconsiders the original process of transition from therapy to analysis and describes methods that can further its effectiveness. Although specific noninterpretive interventions to enhance preparation for analysis are rarely wri…

Treatment Preparatory To Psychoanalysis
Many potentially analyzable adult patients with unimpaired egos require a period of preparatory treatment before entering psychoanalysis. There has been some concern that such face-to-face treatment, if done with the same analyst, would influence the subsequent analysis by stimulating inaccessible unconscious fantasies, gratifying infantile wishes, or making the analyst too "real." This would necessitate a change to another analyst after the prep…
