The Witness and the Body in Auschwitz: Early Literary Accounts of the Camp Experience by Bożena Karwowska addresses representations of the body in early testimonies of Auschwitz survivors. She considers how the survivors speak about their own bodily experiences and those of others, examining the ways in which the physical and the social interact in the traumatic space of the camp.The most compelling aspect of the book is its focus on survivor tes…

Unbecoming Archives: Anne Sexton's "Perverse" Imagination
It is impossible to read much about American poet Anne Sexton before encountering references to her "perverse" imagination. Critics routinely argue that she paints a perverse vision of childhood sexuality, female identity, and adult sexuality in her work, and they often object to her frank discussions of the body, its pleasures, and its dangerous powers. Her depictions of mental illness, initiated in To Bedlam and Part Way Back , also earned the …
O (nie)konieczności powrotu. Dyskurs reemigracji w najnowszej polskiej prozie między polityką a metafizyką
Powieść Wojciecha Kudyby Imigranci wracają do domu swoim tytułem sugeruje możliwość uznania jej za głos w dyskusji politycznej na temat powrotu polskich migrantów ekonomicznych do kraju. Jednak zastosowana konwencja monologu wypowiedzianego i metafizyczna perspektywa narracji podają w wątpliwość prawomocność doraźnych odczytań instrumentalizujących. Rozpatrując powieść w kontekście postsekularnej kondycji współczesnego, kosmopolitycznego społecze…

The Poetics of Boundary Violation: Anne Sexton and Her Psychiatrist
In 1965, Frederick Duhl began a sexual relationship with his patient, poet Anne Sexton, whose previous psychiatrist, Martin Orne, had moved from Boston to Philadelphia. Little is known about this relationship, perhaps because Sexton was persuaded by health professionals, including her previous psychiatrist, not to expose Dr. Duhl. These professionals closed ranks behind Duhl, covering up the ethical misconduct, which may have contributed to Anne …
Oświeceni latarni się nie boją. Szkic polemiczny
Autor podejmuje polemikę z tezami Grzegorza Zająca, wyłożonymi w artykule Oświeconych nie trzeba oświecać – refleksje o szkole, powadze czytania i szaleństwie ideologii („Roczniki Humanistyczne” 67(2019), z. 1, s. 25-38). Polemika dotyczy rzekomego ideologicznego redukcjonizmu interpretacyjnego i instrumentalizacji literatury we współczesnej, postmodernistycznej nauce o literaturze ze względu na jej podatność na ideologizację. Podczas gdy G. Zają…
Bringing It All Back Home: Reply to Celenza
In our response to Andrea Celenza (this issue), we take this opportunity to develop some of the implications of her original work and the Fred Duhl-Anne Sexton tragedy. We concur with Celenza that the ethics revolution in North American psychoanalysis, which dates only from the mid 1980s, has not entirely transformed the landscape. After reflecting briefly on Sexton’s cultural legacy, and on the concept of analytic love, we suggest that psychoana…
I Was a Tape Recorder. I Was a Mailing Box.’: Jan Karski’s Interviews
Jan Karski, a courier for the Polish government in exile, secretly entered the Warsaw ghetto and transit camp Izbica to observe the suffering there. Making a careful record of his visit, he traveled the world to tell its leaders what he had witnessed. Karski is one of the most significant witnesses of the Holocaust, whose experiences have been documented innumerable times. To date, however, no comparative study exists of Karski’s interviews. To w…
The kind of spirit that people still kept’: VHA testimonies of Amsterdam’s Diamond Jews
A higher percentage of Dutch Jews were exterminated in death camps during World War II than from any Western European country except Germany. Although scholars address myriad aspects of this vexing history, silences remain regarding how certain Dutch groups managed to survive. For example, Dutch historiographies devote fewer than a dozen pages to the 100 surviving members of Amsterdam’s Diamond Group, which included over 1000 individuals in 1940.…

You, I, we Created the Poet”: Anne Sexton’s Recorded Therapy, November 1963
In 1991, when it was revealed that the psychiatrist Martin Orne had released tapes of his therapy sessions with Anne Sexton to her biographer, mental health professionals expressed concern and outrage. Those who actually listen to the controversial tapes would be curious to find a debate between Sexton and Orne about mental illness, creativity, and therapeutic process. To what extent did Sexton’s creative accomplishments point to aspects of her p…
Analyst as Teacher / Teacher as Analyst: A Confusion of Tongues
An ad hoc volunteer force, psychoanalytic educators must make do with little formal preparation in teaching methods before they enter the classroom. When they inevitably encounter common pedagogical problems, they often attribute their difficulty to a personal failure or the recalcitrance of candidates, but rarely to a lack of instruction in the craft of teaching. Given this situation, how can analysts who spend most of their time with patients l…
Getting Attica Out of Her Mind: A Psychoanalytic Memoir
This psychoanalytic memoir of trauma, treatment, and creative growth begins when Rosie was admitted to the Masters Children's Center in 1960, at the age of three, to participate in a project on autism designed by Dr. Manuel Furer and Margaret Mahler in which Anni Bergman was a participating analyst. Mahler was experimenting with a tripartite treatment design, which was built on the premise that autistic children had "never formed a symbiotic rela…
Questioning Authority in the Psychoanalytic Classroom
Psychoanalytic educators today, like their predecessors who trained them, struggle to maintain respect for and make use of candidates' various kinds of professional expertise while offering instruction in "the subject." But unlike their predecessors, today's educators teach in the wake of various challenges to authority and knowledge in recent decades from across the disciplines. Some of the most important work of teaching in this context begins …
