Containment, affirmation and structural deficiency – revisiting an issue in psychoanalytic method
The aim of Freudian analysis was to recover repressed memories, phantasies and wishes and make them conscious. This was the basic principle of analytic cure, and the means was interpretation. During the last 5–6 decades, analytic method has been supplemented by types of interventions addressing the relationship between therapist and patient. New kinds of intervention aim at adapting to the patient’s developmental level and capacity to profit from…
Sigmund Freud and Suicide—In His Life and in His Writings
Freud did not construct a coherent theory about suicide, but reasoning about and analyses of suicide are scattered throughout his writings, both in the case histories and in his theoretical writings. In this article the authors present Freud’s reference and comments t suicide and self-harming actions, and an updated investigation of Freud’s biography regarding his person experiences of death and suicide and his reactions to them. Finally, the cir…
Response to Charles Hanly’s Commentary on “The Epistemological Stance of Psychoanalysis
Hanly has written a scholarly discussion of Freud’s epistemology and related it to Kant’s. He concludes with a rejection of Kant’s position:Kant’s epistemology is an ingenious denial of this unplea
The Epistemological Stance of Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis, as conceived by Freud, originates from an epistemological position that is often at odds with related disciplines such as psychology and psychiatry. We argue that psychoanalysis is wedded to a Kantian epistemology that is rigorously committed to modesty. The aim of the article is to illustrate how Freud's thinking was embedded within a Kantian epistemology. Even if he was not explicit, a prevailing Kantian philosophical discussion…
Mental health – a normal state
How can we conceptualize mental health; what is the relation between mental health and normality; and what has psychoanalysis to say about these questions? After a short resume of the views concerning normality and melancholia in the last centuries, the author turns to Freud and Bion. For Freud, mental health at best seems to be a relatively mild neurotic state, and perfect mental health is an unattainable ideal. Bion underlines the dynamic natur…
The question of the training analysis system. Notes from the debate in Oslo
The Norwegian discussion of the training analyst system and the pro et contra arguments are shortly presented. When this note is written, the Board is contemplating to propose a revision of the by-laws, making it somewhat easier to fulfil the criteria for being approved as training analyst
Hamlet
The author first considers issues in psychoanalytic interpretations of literary characters, especially the question of treating the character as fiction (the aesthetic illusion) or as a real person. The position he adopts is to interpret Hamlet as a potential person, created by Shakespeare and an expression of Shakespeare’s actual – and intuitive – view of man.With a synopsis of the tragedy and the context of its creation as background, the autho…
Ethical breaches and deviations of method in psychoanalysis
The boundary concept has been central to discussions on ethics and psychoanalysis over the past few decades. The main distinction has been between less malignant boundary crossings and more harmful violations. More recently, the concept has been criticized as not discriminating between technique and ethics. The author argues that these problems are connected to the way the boundary concept is defined. He suggests that it is specified to indicate …
Oedipus the King
In the Oedipus myth we find a dramatic representation of the child's passionate ties to its parents. In the play Oedipus the King, Sophocles relates the theme of the myth to the question of self-knowledge. This was the predominant reading in German 19th century thinking, and even as a student Freud was fascinated by Oedipus' character - not primarily as the protagonist of an oedipal drama, but as the solver of divine riddles and as an individual …
Dynamics of psychoanalytic supervision
This paper presents a heuristic model for the dynamics of psychoanalytic supervision. It is not a manual for how to perform supervision, but a model for how to identify and think about the complex elements and forces influencing the supervisory process. The point of departure is that psychoanalysis is a composite craft in which seemingly contrary elements like strict rules and creative intuitions have their place and interact. Several aspects of …

Countertransference and changes in the conception of the psychoanalytic relationship
The concept of countertransference has a long history in psychoanalysis. This paper sketches the phenomenon referred to by countertransference and the development of the concept, from being signs of disturbance in the analyst to an important road to knowledge about the patient's inner life. The complexity of the questions discussed today – how to understand the concepts of neutrality, abstinence, and empathy; the relative subjective mutuality and…
Neutrality, tenderness and the analyst's subjectivity
Addressing the rôle of the analyst in the psychoanalytic relationship, the author takes issue with the emphasis on acknowledging the analyst's subjectivity and the critique of concepts like neutrality and abstinence as these issues are presented in the relational tradition. He advocates a better articulation and emphasis of these concepts in the service of understanding the impact of the analyst's subjectivity, and demonstrates how the mere loose…
Analytic work with adolescents
Quite often we have the experience that adolescents do not accept an offer of treatment, in spite of the fact that they feel miserable. Or, that they do start in treatment and then change their minds and break off contact. The author reflects about factors and conditions contributing to these analytic failures. He discusses elements of analytic method, setting, neutral position, analytic relationship, and how the frames are put under pressure in …
Validation of psychoanalytic theories
The authors discuss criteria for the validation of psychoanalytic theories and develop a heuristic and normative model of the references needed for this. Their core question in this paper is: can psychoanalytic theories be validated exclusively from within psychoanalytic theory (internal validation), or are references to sources of knowledge other than psychoanalysis also necessary (external validation)? They discuss aspects of the classic truth …

Contempt and self-contempt
Clinical material characterized by devaluation of the analyst will be used to illustrate the classical narcissistic mechanism: grandiosity and contempt as a defense against feelings of inferiority, shame and dependency. The analysand's asocial behavior is related to this narcissistic dynamics and to the question of relative degree of split-off guilt and structural deficit. Technical problems connected to asocial behavior will also be considered. …
Transference
This paper discusses two kinds of complexities inherent in psychoanalysis' concept of transference. The first kind: transference emotions usually appear in the shape of polarities—that is, an emotion is accompanied by its opposite that may be manifest or latent. This is true both of emotions that are split off and ambivalent. In addition, two or more such polarities often co-exist, running like parallel tracks, e.g., an aggression polarity togeth…
