The Wish for Breakdown
Patients often come into treatment with the wish that analysis will produce a breakdown – “a stark shock of embodied rapture, the angel dropping from the sky to smack [them] with clarity’s two-by-f
The Analyst’s Vocation
This brief essay focuses on Adrienne Harris’s consideration of the analyst’s vocation, both as work and as a calling. Harris identifies a psychoanalytic vocation as one that is “unsettled,” leaving analysts to examine countertransference by attending not only to their own affect states, but through the exhumation of generational transfers that are informed by social histories and constructions. Harris’s generative pedagogy, rooted in her capaciou…
The Paradox of Play
Play Changes Us
The manner in which play changes us is examined, with particular attention to the role of paradox. Sustaining paradox and illusory experiencing are held as key to the framework of psychoanalysis for patient and analyst alike. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which the analyst becomes a potential object of change through playing. The transitive hospitality of playing is examined in the treatment of a four-year-old boy, and in his resurr…

Credo
Psychoanalytic believing is situated in a social frame, promoted through the potential of mental freedom, and found within the therapeutic action of playing
Flow
Novack’s (this issue) central question as to how one can create within the terms of anti-neoliberal ideals is queried in relation to the manner in which the power of neoliberal critique circulates. As well, her interest in the plunge of creative apperception is discussed, resulting in a proposition that the plunge be integrated into the framing of flow
Abandoned by Time
Words Are Her Legacy
Muriel Dimen is remembered as a writer who spoke first-person in a third-person world. She was not content with traditional scholarly narrative and turned instead to auto-theory experiments that blended theory, clinical case material, fiction, and memoir
Through the Lens of Psychoanalysis
In this transcript of a panel on the exhibit of Robert Giard’s portraits, Just as You Are, at the University of Toronto on May 4, 2012, 4 panelists approach the work politically and personally, aesthetically and psychoanalytically. Harris considers the tension in queer portraiture between intelligibility and liminality; Corbett discusses the artist’s and subjects’ frank engagement; Goldner addresses safety, vulnerability, and mutuality in the por…
The Kids Are Alright, But What About the Adults
The author discusses a clinical case presented by David Pauley. Of particular interest is the way in which Pauley and his young patient, Milo, create a holding environment to afford Milo's gender variance. Attention is also drawn to the manner in which social norms are funneled through regulatory anxiety from parent to child
Talking Sex, Talking Gender-A Roundtable
This is an edited transcript of a roundtable held in the Spring of 2012, at the invitation of the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis, where 4 of the most important psychoanalytic thinkers in the fields of gender and sexuality, Adrienne Harris, Virginia Goldner, Muriel Dimen, and Ken Corbett, came together to discuss the state of the field. Each of the participants prepared 1 question for each of the others. The discussion explored …
Shifting Sexual Cultures, the Potential Space of Online Relations, and the Promise of Psychoanalytic Listening
How we listen to the potential space of online relations is rapidly becoming part of our daily work. Two treatments are examined where themes of sexual shame, repression, and relational difficulties were found and refound through online relating and hooking-up. Consideration is given to the ways in which online exploration opens a potential space that affords sexual practice and the reach of relationality. Moving with these patients into this pot…

Little Hans
Joining the centennial reexamination of Freud's "Analysis of a Phobia in a Five-Year-Old Boy" (I909a), the author returns to Little Hans as the Ur psychoanalytic boy. Hans's construction and acts of consciousness continue to endow the psychoanalytic construct of masculinity with meaning. It is suggested that Freud moved in his discussion of the case to regulate the unsettled conditions of masculinity that he articulated through his clinical obser…

Sexuality/sexuality Discussion of Deborah Waxenberg's “On Not Being Supposed To”
In discussing Waxenberg's case presentation, the author focuses on the interimplication of sex and object in the patient's tie to her mother. This sadomasochistic tie is viewed both as the progenitor and as the product of a dead mother—baby union. Consideration is given to the clinical paradox of having to embody the transference position of the dead mother while simultaneously offering the safety of generative potential space
Nontraditional Family Romance
Family stories lie at the heart of psychoanalytic developmental theory and psychoanalytic clinical technique, but whose family? Increasingly, lesbian and gay families, multiparent families, and single-parent families are relying on modern reproductive technologies to form families. The contemplation of these nontraditional families and the vicissitudes of contemporary reproduction lead to an unknowing of what families are, including the ways in w…
Faggot = Loser
This essay investigates the projectile force and projective work of the designation faggot by examining a clinical moment during which a child patient called me a “faggot.” Particular attention is paid to the defensive function that “faggot” played in this boy's effort to disavow smallness and losing. I use his specific dilemma to consider the more general boyhood quest to be big and winning. Focusing on the ways in which boys defend against the …

Cross-gendered identifications and homosexual boyhood
This paper focuses on a subset of homosexual boys whose mixed gender experience moves beyond the conventional categories of masculinity and femininity, and who are often labeled as pathological due to a reluctance to recognize the reality of gender variance and cross-gendered identifications within the domain of mental health. Clinical examples are offered to highlight the need for a theory of gender that accounts for the interweaving of gender a…
