The Hidden Paradoxes of Community
The fantasies of money
We tend to think of money as concrete and simple, a thing, but in fact it is multi‐faceted and complex, more symbolic than actual. In the modern world it has come to take such a variety of forms that economists can no longer define it. On the other hand, our reliance on it causes us to invest it with a stability it does not and, probably, cannot have. Our ideas about money are, essentially, social defenses, and the money we think we have in our p…
The intolerance of controversy in psychoanalytic organizations
In an age when our survival as a profession is less threatened but our growth increasingly depends upon our ability to apply our theories and techniques away from the couch, it has become important to understand how our organizational life relies on competing roles and different demands. That can be confusing for those of us who understand conflict primarily in the dyadic relationships of traditional psychoanalysis. Roles and collaboration, essen…
Working with the Nine Percent
A new class, often referred to as a “meritocracy,” has arisen to manage the businesses, financial institutions, government agencies and think tanks that protect and enlarge the sway of the “one percent” that constitute the oligarchy, those at the top of our society enjoying a disproportionate share of our wealth. Working with those “nine percent,” whose wealth accumulates from compensation rather than investment, allows us to see the volatility a…
Organizational Life of Psychoanalysis
Succeeding at succession
Although the myth of Oedipus seems an inevitable template for understanding succession in psychoanalysis, the myth of Orestes offers a more complex and promising view of the intergenerational transfer of leadership and authority, one that takes into account the entire community, not merely the individual leader. A closer look at the Aeschylus drama suggests three dimensions that need to be taken into account in managing succession: what are the m…
The erosion of our profession
Using Bion
Psychoanalytical psychotherapy
The extended, inconclusive debate over distinguishing psychoanalysis and psychotherapy has been muddied by two underlying issues. The scientifi c identity that psychoanalysis claimed, leading it to affi rm that it was more than a treatment modality, was in confl ict with the actual therapeutic mission it assumed. Psychoanalysis was further hampered in those discussion by its internal confl icts over doctrinal purity; deviations for psychotherapeu…

Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Organizational Consulting
There is a plethora of publications offering methodologies and styles of consultation for the hundreds of thousands of people who engage in organizational and management consulting work. Yet we know little about the psychodynamics of the consultation process, how the consultant influences this process and is, in turn, influenced by it. This is where a psychoanalytic perspective on the process can be especially valuable. In this article, we explor…
Jung, Jungians, and psychoanalysis.
The break between Freud and Jung—and the subsequent division between their followers—has had profound and continuing consequences for both parties. The Jungians have continued an ambivalent relationship to psychoanalysis, with the effects of internal conflicts and institutional schisms. Mainstream psychoanalysis, for its part, has used Jung, the primary and still most prominent “deviant,” to inhibit developments in areas associated with his work.…
Jung, Jungians, and psychoanalysis
Institutional conflicts in Jungian analysis
This paper explores how the institutional life of analytical psychology has been beset by its historical and continuing conflictual relationship with psychoanalysis. Stemming from a division in Jung's identity, that of the spiritual seeker and that of a mental health practitioner, the organizations of analytical psychology have repeatedly enacted that division, resulting in an unclear mission and considerable conflict. In England those conflicts …
