Epilogue
This issue argues that gender, in its many expressions, is not a static identity to be affirmed or a developmental error to be corrected. It is a movement – through language, body, memory, and rela

When we first decided to create a Psychoanalytic Inquiry issue centered on the LGBTQ+, we weren’t sure how the broader psychoanalytic field would respond. To our delight, the response from colleagu

On the origins of Gender Without Identity
In this wide-ranging and generative conversation, Ann Pellegrini and Avgi Saketopoulou reflect on the origins of their collaboration and the theoretical, clinical, and political commitments that shaped their coauthored book Gender Without Identity. Tracing their distinct yet converging paths – from academic, activist, and clinical spaces – they explore how transness is often misunderstood, pathologized, or contained within psychoanalytic discours…
Response to Togashi’s “Trauma, Contingency and Psychoanalytic Zero”
In this brief discussion of Koichi Togashi’s paper, “Trauma, Contingency and the Psychoanalytic Zero” presented at the 2019 IAPSP Conference, in Vancouver, Canada, I will also make use of another p
Girls, their fathers, and their mothers
This paper explores the dilemmas women face when they strive to achieve. It is about why women have trouble with their own deeply held ambitions, how patterns of interaction with important others are internalized in their childhood years that render their own strivings for power unacceptable to them, and how this early sense of prohibition against achievement is reinforced by the larger social and cultural surround. I contend that these interdict…
Mirror Neurons, Procedural Learning, and the Positive New Experience
In summary, we are impressed with the existence of a mirror neuron system in the prefrontal cortex that serves as part of a complex neural network, including afferent and efferent connections to the limbic system, in particular the amygdala, in addition to the premotor and motor cortex. We think it is possible to arrive at an integration that postulates the mirror neuron system and its many types of associated multimodal neurons as contributing s…

Self Psychology After Kohut
HEINZ KOHUT DIED IN 1981 leaving his last book, How Does Analysis Cure?, to be published posthumously three years later. The sum total of his work included three books and a number of papers, but his influence cannot be measured by how much he wrote. By the time of his death he had developed a unique approach to the theory and technique of psychoanalysis, naming it self psychology, and had established as his central purpose to make of self psycho…
Unconscious Fantasy
The authors view unconscious fantasy from the perspective of self psychology as a significant addition and emendation of the classical framework. A selective review of the pertinent literature is presented, followed by clinical material illustrating the contribution of self-psychological concepts to the understanding of unconscious fantasy formation
The End Phase Of Analysis
This paper considers the end phase of analysis. Beginning with a brief review of the literature on termination, specifically the indicators for initiating the termination process, we identify the structural attainments necessary for the patient to successfully complete the analysis and to maintain smooth post-analytic functioning. We stress in this regard the significance of self-analytic functions and the relative immutability of the transferenc…
