Authoritarianism in All its Guises: Perspectives on Right, Left, and Center
Maslow, Judaism, and Humanistic Psychology: In Memory of Ilene Serlin
In 2011, Ilene Serlin published a brief meditation on “The History and Future of Humanistic Psychology.” It appeared in The Humanistic Psychologist mid-way through Obama’s first term in office and one year into the Arab Spring. Much of her argument focused on the need to maintain and promote a psychology that is soulful and seriously engaged with spirituality and the arts. To that end, she quoted luminaries such as Rollo May and James Bugenthal. …
Critical Theory and Psychoanalysis: From the Frankfurt School to Contemporary Critique
"Critical Theory has traditionally been interested in engaging classical psychoanalysis rather than addressing postclassical thought. For the first time, this volume brings Critical Theory into proper dialogue with modern developments in the psychoanalytic movement and covers a broad range of topics in contemporary society that revisit the Frankfurt School and its contributions to psychoanalytic social critique"
Moss’s “On Having Whiteness”
Anti-Semitism and Analytical Psychology: Jung, Politics and Culture
Carl Jung angrily rejected the charge that he was an anti-Semite, yet controversies concerning his attitudes towards Jews, Zionism and the Nazi movement continue to this day. This book explores Jung’s ambivalent relationship to Judaism in light of his career-changing relationship and rupture with Sigmund Freud and takes an unflinching look at Jung’s publications, public pronouncements and private correspondence with Freud, James Kirsch and Erich …
Freud, Stern and McGilchrist: Developmental and Cultural Implications of Their Work
Human beings have two fundamentally different ways of thinking about and engaging with the world." Some variant of this proposition is shared by many thinkers across time. This paper focuses on the core similarities and the subtle (but significant) differences between Freud's theory of primary and secondary processes, Karl Stern's theory of the scientific and poetic modes of knowledge and Iain McGilchrist's account of the differences between left…

The Politics of Psychiatry and the Vicissitudes of Faith Circa 1950: Karl Stern's Psychiatric Novel
Karl Stern, MD (1906-1975) was the author of The Pillar of Fire (1951) and three nonfiction books on psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and religion. His novel, Through Dooms of Love (1960), written with the assistance of his friend and admirer Graham Greene, covers a number of topics that were to psychiatric theory, treatment, and research at mid-century, and reflects several features of his own personal and professional vicissitudes

Cyborgs, zombies, and planetary death: Alienation in the 21st century
“If I could turn you on, if I could drive you out of your wretched mind, if I could tell you, I would let you know.” With these angry, despairing words, Ronald David Laing captured the imagination
Our imperiled age’: An unfinished dialogue between Carl Jung and Karl Stern
Karl Stern was a Catholic psychiatrist in Montreal who published extensively on psychoanalysis and religion from 1951 to 1965. He sent a copy of his second book, The Third Revolution (1954) to Jung, who responded warmly in a (hitherto unpublished) letter dated 30 April 1960. The paper ponders the similarities and differences between Stern and Jung's approach to the psychology of religion, and the impact that Jung's belated response to Stern's boo…

Myth, Religion and Mother Right: Bachofen's Influence on Psychoanalytic Theory
The trends, convictions, and intellectual influences shared by a variety of psychoanalytic dissidents are elucidated through their individual and collective responses to Sigmund Freud's psychology of religion. This psychology as epitomized in Totem and Taboo (1913) constitutes an Oedipal monism, in which the stages between totemism and Christianity represent increasingly complex derivates of unconscious parricidal fantasies. In The Future of an I…
Laing and Heidegger on Alienation
R. D. Laing's concept of alienation-evidenced in his theory of "true" and "false" guilt, social fantasy systems, and artistic creativity-is discussed in light of the ideas of alienation and authenticity in Hegel, Marx, and Heidegger. Despite a tendency to polemical excess, there is much in Laing's approach that merits further exploration and discussion

However, Tzvetan Todorov’s paper “Living Alone Together” provokes so many trains of thought along these lines that I am almost at a loss to know where to begin. Psychoanalysis, both past and present, is so rich w…

A profile of Erich Fromm
Freud, the Serpent and the Sexual Enlightenment of Children
This paper examines Freud's interpretation of the myth of the Fall, which he sent to Jung in December of 1911. After a textual-historical exegesis of the Genesis narrative, I argue that many features of the myth, which Freud construed in Oedipal terms, are more intelligible in light of his theories of infantile sexual researches, which he abandoned in 1910. The etiological shift away from infantile sexual researches (and the consequent Oedipaliza…
