On the Astonishing Clinical Irrelevance of Neuroscience
The clinical work of psychoanalysts can be thought of in both a narrow and a broad sense. In the narrow sense, it refers to what is commonly thought of as psychoanalytic technique, the methods analysts use to understand their patients and to convey that understanding to them. In the broad sense, it refers to the entirety of their work as clinicians: the content of understanding, as well as such things as diagnosing, estimating analyzability, reco…
The Penn Psychoanalytic Treatment Collection
From a set of seventeen complete and tape-recorded psychoanalyses, a sample of findings is presented: (a) the level of agreement of two clinical judges on the psychological health of these patients is adequate for the late sessions, but not for the early sessions; (b) the amount of change during psychoanalysis appears to be similar to that in the Menninger Foundation Psychotherapy Research Project; (c) psychiatric severity measures from the early…

Psychic Equilibrium and Psychic Change
The Eclectic Analyst, or the Many Roads to Insight and Change
Common wisdom has it that psychoanalysis is composed of a number of discrete bodies of theoretical and technical thought, or “schools.” I argue that psychoanalytic schools are not as different from one another as they are commonly supposed to be, particularly in matters of technique.

Sadomasochism in the Perversions
The Manifest Dream in Psychoanalysis
Controversies about the value of the manifest dream in psychoanalysis are usually a matter of semantics. The author concludes that two clinically meaningful questions about the manifest dream can be asked: (1) Is the patient's report of a dream useful in formulating an interpretation if no formal associations to the dream elements are given? Inasmuch as such reports always include some kind of associations, and the analyst always possesses consid…

Units of observation and perspectives on the psychoanalytic process
Over the past quarter century, brief segments of tape‐recorded psychotherapy have become the most widely employed unit for the empirical investigation of the psychotherapeutic process. Our aim was to see how judgements based upon brief segments of tape‐recorded psychoanalysis corresponded with judgements based upon the hours from which they were taken. Seven experienced psychoanalysts independently made clinical and quantitative judgements about …
