Paul Cherlin, John Dewey, and the Love of Wisdom
Philosophy has traditionally been defined as the love of wisdom.Understanding the love of wisdom is crucial to Paul Cherlin's book John Dewey's Metaphysical Theory. 1 Cherlin's short but broad-ranging study offers a view of the nature and importance of philosophy, metaphysics, and of the difficult metaphysics of Dewey which Cherlin finds "deserves to be counted among the greatest metaphysical theories in the history of philosophy" (MT, vii).In th…

Sexual Differentiation of Childhood Play: A Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspective
Sexual Differentiation of Behavior: The Foundation of a Developmental Model of Psychosexuality
The sexual differentiation of the brain and behavior occurs as the result of prenatal hormonal influences. Knowledge of this area is helpful for the construction of an appropriately modern psychoanalytically informed developmental paradigm of psychosexuality
On: Homosexuality: Coming out of the confusion
With the NPDES Phase II Final Rule taking effect, more municipalities are confronted with the requirement to develop, implement, and enforce a management plan to control post-construction stormwater runoff. The ultimate objective is to reduce pollutant loads and improve water quality. To accomplish this goal, many municipalities have adopted regulations that require all new and redeveloped areas to treat the “first flush” (first 1.2”) of rainfall…
Psychoanalysis and Human Sexuality
The Psychobiology of Late Childhood: Significance for Psychoanalytic Developmental Theory and Clinical Practice
Psychoanalysis and Sexual Fantasies
On sexual orientation and family development
Female Homosexuality: Classical Psychoanalytic Theory Reconsidered
The psychoanalytic theory of female homosexuality occupies an unusual position in modern psychoanalytic thought because it continues to be influenced by models of the mind that have largely been discarded in other areas of psychoanalytic psychology. Psychoanalytic ideas regarding female homosexuality are considered here from an historical perspective. It is suggested that modern psychoanalytic theory about sexual orientation in women must include…
An Empirical Study of the Beliefs of Psychoanalysts About Scientific and Clinical Dimensions of Male Homosexuality
Eighty-eight clinical psychoanalysts responded to a questionnaire that assessed their theoretical beliefs about homosexuality. Questions were designed to asses agreement or disagreement with a model that homosexuality is pathological. Most psychoanalysts endorsed a nonpathological model, although their responses were sometimes inconsistent. We discuss the significance of these findings
Internalized Homophobia and the Negative Therapeutic Reaction
Internalized Homophobia in Lesbian Relationships
The sexual history: Teaching clinical skills
Biology and the Oedipus Complex
Recent observations in the behavioral and neurosciences have raised questions about the ubiquity of the oedipus complex as well as about its significance for psychological development. The authors argue that the construct Freud called the oedipus complex in males is best examined in its component parts. One component--the incestuous wish--does not occur in all individuals. Another component--the boy's urge to engage competitively with other male …
Bias towards gay patients by psychoanalytic clinicians: An empirical investigation
Psychoanalysis, Psychobiology, and Homosexuality
The potential role of biological influences in human sexual orientation was considered more seriously during the early phases of psychoanalysis than in the years since World War II. Recently studies of homosexuality and heterosexuality in the neurosciences have attracted widespread attention both in the scientific and lay communities. The salience of these new data for psychoanalytic theory and practice is just beginning to be explored. In this a…

The Depressed Masochistic Patient: Diagnostic and Management Considerations—A Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspective
This article considers the relationship between depression and characterological masochism from a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective. Nosology is discussed historically from Krafft-Ebing to the DSM-III-R category, self-defeating personality disorder. Masochistic character traits are conceptualized as attempts to cope with depressed helpless and hostile feelings that have become part of the core self-concept. Psychotherapeutic strategy for tr…
Male Homosexuality: A Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspective
Suicide and the Borderline Depressed Adolescent and Young Adult
Toward a Further Understanding of Homosexual Men
Family history of illness in the seriously suicidal adolescent: A life-cycle approach
Highly suicidal, depressed adolescents were compared to nonsuicidal depressed adolescents with regard to family history of illness. Chronic psychiatric illness of a parent, particularly depression occurring during the childhood of patients, was found to be more frequent among families of highly suicidal adolescents. Implications of this finding are considered
