Freud's atonement
The authors explore Freud's preoccupations with death and dying. In particular, they focus on the day of Freud's death, which was the Jewish Day of Atonement and the Jewish Sabbath. The significance of this event, which the authors think was “planned,” was not just in order to obliterate years of pain and suffering from cancer, but also to overcome a lifelong burden of conflict and guilt about his relations with his family and colleagues as well …

Nothingness and narcissism
This paper discusses the psychoanalytic concept of narcissism and the Kabbalistic understanding of how man is viewed in relationship to God. If God is considered to be both nothingness and everythingness, and man follows a pattern of trying to be like the Creator, Imatio Deo, then this has major implications for man's sense of self. We discuss the seeming paradox of both wanting to be self-absorbed while, at the same time, trying to achieve a lev…
The self and the soul
This paper explores the elusive and esoteric concepts of self and soul. After examining the psychological concept of self, as differentiated from ego, the authors present a unified theory of psychological, psychoanalytical and spiritual conceptualizations in light of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. We suggest that understanding the self system (whether in object relations, intersubjective or interpersonal terms) is enhanced by the framew…
A tale of two orphans
This paper describes an historical anecdote which occurred when Rabbi Shalom Dov-Ber Schneersohn, the 5th Lubavitcher Rebbe (known as the RaSHaB) visited Vienna in 1903, prior to his meetings with Sigmund Freud. At the time the RaSHaB was suffering from a certain 'lowness of spirits'. One afternoon he went into a trance-like state from which he seemed to emerge with difficulty. The next day he went shopping for women's clothes and then travelled …

The First Stages in the Development of the Small Group
Building upon the pioneering work of Saravay, this article describes the first stages in the development of a therapeutic small group. We follow the classic psychoanalytic theory of psychosexual stages as described by Freud with the modifications of Karl Abraham. We feel that this understanding will help us better conceptualize a dynamic understanding of small group process. In order to illustrate the theoretical formulations, examples are given …
Jerusalem, Religious Awakenings and Schizophrenia
The article explores how delusional processes are activated psychologically and how clinicians need to look beyond the seemingly non-reality aspect and instead listen to the delusion in the context of the patient's life experience. The social and spiritual context of Jerusalem, where some people decompensate and reconstitute themselves, is focused upon, as well as the delusional world of the schizophrenic

Therapeutic Touch and Healing Meditation
The ancient art of laying on of hands has been used throughout the history of humankind. Almost every known culture of the present world, as well as a great many of the unearthed cultures of generations past, have practiced some form of healing through touch, magnetism, or visualization with meditation and/or substance stimulant. Modern medical therapeutic touch represents a meeting of science and spirit, seeking to legitimize intuitive human bel…
Group-Analytic Psychotherapy under Threat of War
President Saddam Hussein's warning that he would unleash `weapons of destruction' upon Israel if Iraq were attacked by the Allied Forces became a reality 18 January 1991 when eight Scud missiles landed in central and northern Israel. Between then and 23 February 1991 thirty-seven Scud missiles landed. Two people died and 239 were injured, with millions of dollars of property damage. The civilian population had been taught civil defence precaution…
The Supervision Group as a Transitional Object
The supervision group as a transitional object, allowing for the exploration and expression of feelings relating to the conflictual bind, enabling the intern to cope with the dual roles of university student and agency professional
Psychology at a crossroads
The current state of psychology is examined from the perspective that academic psychology and the private practice of psychology are faced with threats of their own obsolescence. Factors contributing to tensions in the discipline, as well as some hopeful signs, are reviewed. Three linked proposals are presented for the long-term resolution of these problems. An appropriate setting and a comprehensive model for graduate education are suggested. Th…
Psychology at a crossroads
Reflections on an epidemic
Several recommendations by a national science advisory body and the intentions of the Public Health Service regarding AIDS are reviewed, and their pertinence to community psychology is noted. The context of these statements is the metamorphosis of the AIDS epidemic and the public's reaction to it. The elements of surprise, continual change, and the need to plan for contingencies are threaded through a presentation of various aspects of the epidem…

Self-Castration by a Man with Cyclic Changes in Sexuality
A case is presented of a man who castrated himself and who reported he had experienced cyclic changes in sexuality for 6 years. Developmental history, including physical factors of cryptorchidism and bilateral inguinal hernias in infancy, suggests a setting in which comfortable masculine identification would have been most difficult. The feminine components of personality appear to have received considerable reinforcement from the family and othe…

A Psychological Basis for Indifference to Pain
Neurological, psychiatric, and psychological findings concerning 3 patients showing indifference to pain were reviewed. It was proposed that an early alteration in ego development might account for this symptom. Three alternative hypothetical reconstructions were offered, based upon the theoretically close relationship between the defense mechanism of denial and the affect of pain. The first of these reconstructions, that pain indifference result…
