Therapeutic Technique in Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
As the distinctions between what we consider to be psychoanalysis and what we consider to be psychoanalytic psychotherapy have become more uncertain and more blurred, it follows that it is equally difficult to designate the techniques that would be appropriate and specific for each modality. The problem has been compounded by the fact that in recent years psychoanalysis in the United States has become considerably less homogeneous than in the pas…
Further Observations on the Psychoanalytic Process
The psychoanalytic process remains a fascinating and valuable concept, albeit an incompletely understood and controversial one. The author reviews the ideas in his 1984 essay and looks back on some of the critiques and proposals that followed that paper. He suggests that the concept of the psychoanalytic process is viable and useful despite its shortcomings. Consideration is given to the goals of psychoanalytic treatment as they relate to the "pr…
How Wide is the Widening Scope of Psychoanalysis and How Solid is its Structural Model? Some Concerns and Observations
The author advances the thesis that in the past 35 years there has been a relatively silent but nonetheless significant movement within the mainstream of American psychoanalysis toward a more "modest" position. This movement has been stimulated from different sources, sometimes with diverse goals and different programs. One determinant was the reaction to the post-World War II euphoria in regard to psychoanalysis and its possible therapeutic powe…
The Future of Psychoanalysis
We have tried, in a necessarily kaleidoscopic and highly condensed manner, to highlight our perspectives on the foreseeable future of psychoanalysis, along a number of interrelated but clearly distinct dimensions. Our discussion has dealt with the nature of our field as a science and also as a discipline, the nature of the training for it, the nature of its research, and the nature and scope of its professional practice. In all of these areas, ma…
Some Observations on the Psychoanalytic Process
The author's aim is to delineate the psychoanalytic process and to distinguish it from the psychoanalytic situation, the transference neurosis, "insight," and psychoanalytic technique in general. Freud's 1913 views provide the basis for a concept of the psychoanalytic process centered on the recognition and interpretation of resistances and on the patient's reactions to the analyst's interventions. This clinically observable "unit" of the process…
A Note On Consummation and Termination
The sensation sometimes expressed by analytic patients, most notably during termination of having left some "unfinished business" (to which they hope to return) is not necessarily simply a judgment about the analysis; frequently it is an affective component of the wish for consummation which has not been granted by the analysis. Simultaneously, it expresses the defense against that very consummation. The wish to give the analyst a gift is in some…
Some Clinical Consequences of Introjection
In the regression from the oedipal impulses some, perhaps many, people retreat to the introjective (oral) mode of defense. This and other defensive maneuvers culminate in a variety of behaviors which have been extensively and variously described in the literature. The authors describe, under the rubric of "gaslighting," an outcome of the introjective defense in which a victim and a victimizer join psychological modes in expressing and defending t…

Some Observations on not Telling the Truth
Lying, in the analytic situation of essentially neurotic patients, is proposed to represent a re-enactment within the analysis and transference neurosis of a particular aspect of the oedipal conflict. These lies permit the partial recovery of old memories and perceptions; the emergence of certain unconscious wishes and fantasies, while simultaneously continuing to protect those wishes by a variety of mechanisms which are best conceptualized as "s…
Reporting, Nonreporting, And Assessment In The Training Analysis
“There are currents of moral ideas which are partly philosophical and partly something less precise, changes in public consciousness... “It is certainly not easy, and perhaps it is not possible, to calculate the real effect upon men's lives of any new system of moral ideas and of any new philosophy... “The more fundamental and overriding assessments, in relation to which all other assessments of persons are subsidiary and conditional, we call mor…
