When Theory Meets Practice
Before the corporate entity of A T & T was broken up so that hungry predators could sweep up the fragments and take over the telecommunications industry, it was affectionately known as “Ma Bell.” I recall as a youngster hearing its radio advertisement that told us, over and over, “we’re all connected.” And indeed we are all connected. No one exists in isolation. We start out in life developing inside another person, to whom we are connected by an…

Countertransference and the Myth of the Perfectly Analyzed Analyst
Countertransference is an inevitable feature of every psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysts are (and need to be) only human; psychoanalytic work is arduous and replete with stresses, strains, and deprivations; analysands tend to probe for vulnerabilities in their analysts that can be exploited in the interest of acting out neurotic wishes instead of analyzing them; and a training analysis cannot completely immunize a psychoanalyst against countertransfe…
The Psychoanalyst as a New Old Object, an Old New Object, and a Brand New Object
Cognitive Development and Female Psychology
Freud was an astute observer, but his understanding of female psychology was distorted by centration on biological forces, the adult neurosis, libido theory, the Oedipus complex, and male psychology. His views on the role of penis envy, narcissism, and masochism in women, and on the female superego, currently are being updated on the basis of new data emerging out of psychoanalytic investigation and direct observational studies. It has become cle…

A detailed example is presented of analytic work with a latency age youngster. The technical problems encountered in the analysis of such a child are discussed in order to consider how child analysis can help to elucidate what is involved in the psychoanalytic process
The Voice of Conscience and the Sounds of the Analytic Hour
Two patients reacted to sudden, unexpected, adventitious sounds during an analytic session as though they had been warmed that they would be punished for their misdeeds. One promptly confessed to wrongdoings which she had been denying or keeping secret. It was as though a "voice of conscience" had spoken to them to remind them of their obligations, demand compliance with the rules, and threaten them with dire punishments should they fail to obey.…

Sylvia Plath and the Failure of Emotional Self-Repair Through Poetry
Creativity serves not only an aesthetic function but also psychological self-repair for the creative artist. The authors examine the failure of Sylvia Plath's efforts to control her suicidal violence and to bridge her isolation from others via the shared affective experience of poetry. At first, she used traditional forms and mediated images, but when she abandoned them for a more personal expressive art, she lost the shaping, controlling devices…

The Will to Succeed—and The Capacity to Do So
Careful study is given to a recent memoir by Egon Balas, who survived torture and life-threatening oppression during both the Nazi period in Eastern Europe and the era of Communist rule that followed it.1 His ability to come through his ordeals as well as he was able to is traced in large measure to the strength provided by positive identifications within his psyche, while negative identifications within him are seen as having contributed to the …
