Assessing the Effects of Home-Based Primary Care on Alzheimer's Caregivers and Support Organizations: An Application of the Health Equity Implementation Framework
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) pose significant challenges for care partners and community-based organizations (CBOs) involved in providing care. Home-based medical care (HBMC) models have emerged as a potentially equitable solution to support these individuals and organizations. Utilizing the Health Equity Implementation Framework (HEIF), this study explores the barriers and facilitators experienced by care partners and CBO sta…
Using the Environmental Health Disparities Framework to understand Black and Latino perspectives of a local fertilizer plant fire
In February 2022, a fertilizer plant fire burned for four days and displaced thousands of residents, who were mainly low-income and Black or Latino, from their homes in Winston Salem, NC. In partnership with Black and Latino residents and nonprofit organizations, we sought to understand Black and Latino resident perceptions of the chronic and acute health risks, as well as the emotional and financial effects that resulted from the fire, which inc…

Semi-structured interviews and open-ended survey responses explored the experiences of participants enrolled in a FFRx delivery program during the COVID-19 …
Shared Trauma, the Renegotiation of the Frame, and the Preservation of What Is Essential: Transformations in Psychoanalytic Treatment in the Time of the Pandemic
In this paper, the author describes a process, renegotiation of the frame, that emerged as he contemplated with his patients the continuation of work together in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such a renegotiation lends itself to the formation of bastions, as described by Baranger and Baranger (1969 Baranger, W. & Baranger, M. (1969). The analytic situation as a dynamic field. Int. J. Psychoanal., 89:795–826, 2008. doi:https://doi.org/10.1111…
Post-termination self-analysis and the relinquishment of the psychoanalytic frame: Thoughts on a fragment of self-analytic work following a traumatic termination
Months following the traumatic termination of my analysis I engaged in self-analytic work in which I was able to rework the events of the termination and their significance in terms of my history. Fundamental differences between my self-analytic process and that of my formal analysis led me to consider how termination may affect the ensuing self-analytic process. In this paper, I look at aspects of termination that have to do with the dissolution…
Common sense: Its uses, misuses, and pitfalls
“Common sense” is ubiquitous in most discourse, including the psychoanalytic process. It is comprised of multiple different forms of thinking which have certain similarities of organization. Its appearance in interpersonal discourse evokes typical affects, fantasies, and intersubjective experiences, which I call “the feeling of common sense”. Because of its underlying conceptual structure and its powerful affective and intersubjective components,…

Three Psychic Organizations and Their Relation to Certain Aspects of the Creative Process
The author describes three different ways in which individuals in psychoanalysis may make use of the analyst. Each brings together affective and symbolic communication in a different way and draws the analyst into a different way of relating. It is suggested that these reflect three organizations of the individual's experience of the object and of himself in relation to the object. Though not encountered exclusively in creative artists, each of t…

Perverse Modes of Thought
Subtle, nonpsychotic disturbances in thinking may cause significant impairment of intellectual functioning and interfere with a patient's capacity to make use of psychoanalytic treatment. As these come under interpretive scrutiny, the intellectual exchange between patient and analyst may emerge as a theater for the enactment of perverse sexual fantasies. In this paper, the author describes these disturbances in thinking and proposes a model that …

Necessary Directions for Anthropological Research on Child Care in the United States
There has been little qualitative research done by anthropologists and sociologists on formal and informal American child-care arrangements. This paper suggests directions for research in ways that are useful for theory and relevant to policy and program. Research topics should include: ascertaining informal child-care arrangements such as babysitting and sibling care; comparative ethnographies of different types of centers; eliciting the ways in…
Current Research Inventory
As indicated in the last "Editorial Comment" (LARR 13, number 2), the LASA Executive Council and the LARR Editorial Board have agreed that this should mark the final appearance of the Current Research Inventory. Despite changes introduced in 1974, the compiling and editing of the Inventory has remained a major burden to the staff, and the intervening years have not given satisfactory evidence of its usefulness to our readers. However, the demand …
