The Upward Slope
In an examination of twelve audiotaped psychoanalytic sessions, the authors, using both quantitative and qualitative methods, observed a stepwise progression in mental organization, which they term the upward slope. Its constituents include a phase of regression (desymbolization and the agony of equivalence), a phase of transition (disruptive enactment leading to transitional space), and a phase of reorganization (triangulation leading to symboli…
The Ordinary and the Extraordinary Countertransference
This is both a clinical and an epistemological inquiry into the concept of countertransference. A distinction is made between the ordinary countertransference, a transitory disruption residing within the analyst's consciousness, and the extraordinary countertransference, an impasse intolerable to the analyst to such an extent that it remains outside awareness. This distinction, rooted in the history of psychoanalytic thought, is here traced in a …
The Effectiveness of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
This is an effectiveness study of treatment outcome that relies on patients' perception of their mental health during and after psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Ninety-nine outpatients attending the IPTAR Clinical Center (ICC) responded to the Effectiveness Questionnaire (EQ) adapted from that developed by Consumer Reports. Effectiveness is studied from various perspectives. Findings indicated (1) an incremental gain in effectiveness scores from six…
On Receiving the Patient's Transference
This is an empirical study of the therapist's experience of the patient, delineating the boundaries between empathy and constructive and destructive forms of counter-transference. The unique step was taken of focusing a video camera on the therapist in order to trace the therapist's nonverbal behavior during listening. The same therapist was observed first in a “not-so-difficult” and then in a “difficult” session; the sessions could then be disti…
Shape of the communicated transference in difficult and not-so-difficult patients
In this article, we attempt to define a dimension of transference characteristic of difficult and not-so-difficult patients. The method is systematic-empirical as well as clinical. The conceptual thrust underlying our concept of communicated transference is derived from the literature of the communicative function of the dream. It is a wish to impart the inner objects, the introjects, into the consciousness of the listening analyst as object. Fiv…

Introductory Remarks
Introductory Remarks: Conference on “Psychoanalysis and Power" Sponsored by Goethehouse and The New School for Social Research 12/10–11, 1993 Norbert Freedman In these hallowed halls where post-modernism has reigned for a decade, I shall open this meeting not by reflecting upon deconstruction, but rather upon reconstruction. Deconstruction involves the questioning, even the bashing of precious substantive assumptions. Reconstruction involves the …

On kinetic filtering in associative monologue
On the role of reduced auditory feedback and kinesic self-stimulation during Stroop Color-Word performance1
Feedback from one's own voice provides important vocal-motor cues for effective cognitive processing. Reduction of such feedback is known to disturb such functioning. Work in our laboratory has shown that kinesic self-stimulation also plays an important role in cognition, and appears to regulate the focusing of attention under conditions of distraction. The present study investigated the effects of both auditory feedback and kinesic self-stimulat…
Language and hand
Kinesic and verbal performance data were collected for two groups of women college seniors chosen to represent extremes in a type of verbal ability termed here referential competence. This ability is conceptualized in terms of degree of integration of symbolic and ikonic representation systems, i.e., the strength of the symbol-referent links in semantic memory. A criterion measure of referential competence was developed using deviation of color n…
Communicative structures and psychic structures
The publication of this volune represents the first in a planned series of special publications on topics of major interest to workers in the fields of psychiatry and psychology. The series will be en- titled The Downstate Series of Research in Psychiatry and Psychology and is the outcome of a series of discussions among several senior members of the Department of Psychiatry held about four years ago. Included in this group, were Drs. Benjamin Ki…
Psychological differentiation as a factor in conflict resolution
Previous studies have shown that persons matched in level of differentiation are likely to develop greater interpersonal attraction in the course of an interaction than are mismatched persons. These studies were all conducted in situations where the interacting persons were working toward a common goal. To test the hypothesis that situational variables may moderate match-mismatch effects, the present study investigated these affects when the inte…
Personality organization and language behavior
The language behavior of field-independent (F-D) clinically normal, verbally resourceful femal college students was examined in three different communication conditions: Dialogue, Warm (vissually supportive) monologue, and Cold (visually nonsupportive and stressful) Monologue. F-I and F-D Ss produced similar amounts of the different types of language behavior evaluated in each of the three communicative conditions. However, they differed with res…
A Study of the Representation of Objects in Schizophrenia
Body movements and the verbal encoding of aggressive affect
A Method for Measuring Social Behavior of Psychiatric Outpatients
A system for the assessment of traits characterizing the social interaction of patients in the family setting has been briefly described. This system attempts to measure the relationship between the patient and the relaive who is being interviewed concerning the patient's behavior. Using a method of coding to evaluate the respondent's answers to various open-ended questions, we are able to delineate those characteristics of the patient's behavior…
