The Annual of Psychoanalysis
The Historical Moment in the Analysis of Gay Men
The meanings of men’s same-sex desire have changed rapidly in the last fifty years. As a result it is common that patients and analysts (or psychotherapists) have dissonant implicit understandings of the significance of this desire. This dissonance can have untoward clinical consequences, some of which are explored here, and may be partly mitigated to facilitate better analytic and psychotherapeutic work with gay men
Confronting destruction
Life-writing, such as in diaries and memoirs, offers a means for managing misfortune and fosters an enhanced sense of self-coherence. The devastation that accompanied the effort by the Third Reich to destroy Europe's Jewish citizens challenged resilience, sense of personal agency, and the capacity to deal with personal loss and the destruction of community. The capacity for writing a coherent life story first emerges during adolescence. Reporting…
Narrative, Identity, and the Politics of Exclusion
The Story of Sexual Identity
When viewed through the broad lens of social history, the story of sexual identity across place and time is infused with extraordinary contextual specificity. Different cultures in different historical eras have organized human sexuality in a multiplicity of diverse forms and functions, constructing stories of sexual identity that serve a larger social structure with master narratives of what it means to be a member of a given community, culture,…
The Life Cycle, Aging, and Death
The life cycle and its study are seen as the locus of dialectical intersections through the several perspectives of the contributors to this symposium. Sardello and Datan locate the dialectic of the life cycle at the interface between youth and age: Sardello proposes that the polarities of youth and age are united in the individual’s dialectical consciousness of the life cycle, while Datan argues that the narcissism of the life cycle, binding the…
Two lives, two times
Life stories such as memoirs reflect the interplay of autobiographical reasoning, and collective remembrance at a time and in a place where memoirs are written. Using this perspective for understanding life-writing, I discuss memoirs written by two women who were formerly internees in the Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Olga Lengyel (1909–2001) lost her entire family in the camp and wrote her memoir in Paris just after the war. Her…
Life-Stories and Storied Lives
Personal literature may be written either as a life story such as an autobiography or memoir or as an autobiographical novel. Using the three volumes comprising the memoir of author Paul Monette and the three volumes comprising the autobiographical fiction trilogy of journalist and novelist Edmund White, this article explores the goal of each author for selecting a particular genre in which to write about lived experience. Each author enjoyed an …
The Psychological World of the Gay Teenager
Life Course Social Science Perspectives on the GLBT Family
The life course perspective in the social sciences focuses on the place of generation-cohorts in understanding social life. Emphasizing shared understanding of self and society among a group of persons born in some adjacent birth years (often a decade) and the impact of the experience of certain events (a reminiscence bump) taking place across the early adult years, this approach to the study of social life and social change emphasizes social tim…
Memoir and Performance
Identity may be understood both as a life-story, either told or written as memoir or autobiography, and also as a practice such as producing or acting in gay pornographic film, but always within the context of social and historical change. Study of the memoirs of gay men who have been actors and/or producers of gay pornographic films across three generation cohorts provides an opportunity for understanding the interplay of social change and life …

Collected Stories in the Life Narratives of Holocaust Survivors
This research investigates the use of stories that are found through vicarious experience and told in a life narrative in order to communicate the meaning of the personal past. Through the interpretation of the life narratives of Holocaust survivors, we argue that stories outside of direct experience, collected stories, form the background of personal narratives. Collected stories are pieces of social interaction and context that are integrated i…

Sexual orientation and psychoanalytic study and intervention among lesbians and gay men
The Needs of Older Lesbians and Gay Men in Chicago
The authors report results from a study assessing the social service needs of gay menand lesbians over 45 years of age in Chicago. Results suggest that this population is diverse and presents a wide range of needs. The authors advocate the use of a community organizing approach that involves older gay men and lesbians in the provision of services. The authors also highlight the need to consider the social context in which services will be provide…
Positive parent/adult child relationships
Comparison of 222 parents of an adult child who had a psychiatric disability and 434 parents with a nondisabled adult child revealed that parents' positive appraisals of their relationship with the target child was significantly predicted by their perceived caregiving burden, but not by their child's psychiatric status. Implications for interventions that enhance parent/adult child relationships are discussed

Age and family burden among parents of offspring with severe mental illness
Family burden reported by parents of offspring with severe mental illness was examined to determine whether burden increases with age. Older parents were troubled by cognitive dimensions of burden, while younger parents were distressed by their offspring's behavior, suggesting that interventions should vary according to parents' age as well as developmental stage of their child's illness

Marital satisfaction among parents of the severely mentally ill living in the community
Factors influencing marital satisfaction among 131 parents of adult offspring with severe mental illness were explored. Those found to be most predictive of marital satisfaction were parents' ability to comfort one another, parents' gender, number of offspring, family income, and interpersonal sensitivity. Implications of these findings for practical and policy approaches to preventive intervention are discussed

The Life Course of Gay and Lesbian Youth
The authors raise questions about several fundamental assumptions and methods regarding study of the development of gay and lesbian youth. Primary among these are the validity of reliance on respondents' recollections regarding their childhood and adolescent experiences; inferences about developmental processes and outcomes made on the basis of cross-sectional samples; the time-specific, cohort-bound nature of many previous constructs and finding…
The Life Story and the Study of Resilience and Response to Adversity
The concept of the life story is discussed as an important means for under-standing continuity and change within lives over time, including means used to make sense of lived experience, particularly response to adversity. This per-spective on the study of the life history is based on current approaches to the study of narrative within both the human sciences and the humanities, and views the life history as a story that is continually revised ove…

The Human Studies and the Life History
Particular problems are posed in the study of lives since the course of life may be less continuous and predictable than sometimes assumed. Further, the most important aspect of developmental study may be the subjectively constructed narrative of development, or life history, which itself changes over personal and historical time. Following the interpretive approach pioneered by Dilthey, Weber, Freud, and, more recently, Ricoeur, Taylor, and othe…

Childrearing Attitudes among Mothers Volunteering and Revolunteering for a Psychological Study
Although the generality of findings in personality research is often limited by biases resulting from the use of volunteer Ss, this problem has not often been studied in non-student populations where there are no captive Ss to provide baseline data. A sample of 168 mothers was recruited by newspaper advertisement for a study of childcare attitudes using the Maternal Attitude Scale, a Likert-type questionnaire. of these volunteers, 64% revolunteer…

Psychoanalysis, Adaptation, and Education
The psychoanalytic perspective on mental development is discussed in terms of its significance for formal education. Rather than using psychoanalytic concepts as the basis for preventative mental health programs, these concepts are used in order to highlight the important function of education in the child's development of promoting a more successful adaptation to reality. The development of reality testing is discussed in terms of the psychologi…
Psychoanalysis, Adaptation, and Education
The development of the capacity for reality testing, whose enhancement has been viewed as a central function of education, presupposes both the capacity to focus attention on external and intra-psychic phenomena and the development of organized thought. Reconsidering traditional psychoanalytic views of these two concepts in terms of more recent formulations, attention is defined in terms of the child's attitude toward reality rather than in terms…

Perceived life-stress and psychopathology among mothers of young children
Mentally ill mothers of young children, contrasted with well mothers, reported greater stress in their own lives, and in those of their husbands and parental families. Within each group of mothers, there was a different relationship between life-stress and psychological symptoms. Within the mentally ill group, stress was associated with both diagnosis and chronicity

Child care attitudes and adaptation to the maternal role among mentally ill and well mothers
Discharged psychiatric hospital patients who were mothers of young children were compared with a group of well mothers on child rearing attitudes and adaptation to adult social roles. Mentally ill mothers were found to believe less in the importance of developing a reciprocal mother-child relationship or in differentiating between own needs and those of child, and were more likely to deny ambivalent feelings regarding child care. In each group, l…

Child-Care Attitudes and Development of Young Children of Mentally ILL and Well Mothers
Young children of mentally ill mothers and well mothers were administered the WPPSI. Mother and child were observed in the test situation and mothers were administered the Maternal Attitude Scale and a measure of intelligence. Even partialling out mothers' IQ, scores of mothers who believe in encouraging the child's interaction with the environment correlated with child's IQ. Lower birth weight and greater birth complications were related to mate…

Psychopathology of parenthood
Psychiatric illness among mothers of infants and young children is believed to have serious implications for the child's cognitive and socio-emotional development, and presents a continuing crisis in the provision of reliable parental care: frequent rehospitalizations are disruptive both for the parent-child tie, and for the stability of the family unit. This chapter reviews findings regarding the impact of maternal psychiatric disorders upon the…
Developmental patterns in the infants and young children of mentally ill mothers
The development of children (ages 2 to 49 months) of mentally ill mothers was compared with that of children of matched “well” mothers. The children of mentally ill mothers scored lower on measures of intelligence and had a less adaptive coping style in the testing situation. The children of “well” mothers were more socially competent; that is, they sought the attention of adults more often, responded more to social initiatives, displayed more po…
Character and behavior in the mentally ill and well mother
The purpose of this study was to examine character and behavior in a group of mentally ill and well mothers. Mentally ill mothers differed from well mothers in mother-child interaction in their positive involvement in the feeding context and in overall optimal mothering during feeding. On measures of intrapsychic conflict and concern, mentally ill mothers demonstrated significantly more conflict in areas of trust, anger, self-esteem, mutuality an…
