The Significance of the Interpretant in the Field of Speech
In his classic paper “The Function and the Field of Language and Speech in Psychoanalysis,” Lacan wrote that psychoanalysis had abandoned its original interest in speech. It had turned instead to the countertransference as a window of insight into the patient’s preverbal fantasies. The danger, as the Lacanian tradition emphasizes, is that we might fall into “me-centered attention”: a focus on our own meanings and resonances over those of the pati…
Introduction to In Pursuit of Racial Equality in American Psychoanalysis
Narrative Capacity
What develops in adulthood? More specifically, what develops in adult analysis, not just in terms of thwarted childhood capacities, not just through accrued experience, but even more fundamentally in terms of abilities or structures not possible until the present moment? In this paper, I posit narrative capacity—the capacity to organize conflictual aspects of self and other in a temporary causal-motivational sequence—as a core feature of what dev…

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Uncertainty
Obsessions And Compulsions
Freud traced the origin of the obsessional neurosis, which he considered a model condition for psychoanalytic inquiry, to a fixation in the anal phase of psychosexual development. Although many analysts have raised doubts about his account, and while the Sullivanian and Lacanian traditions have proposed alternatives, no approach has accounted for what Freud observed as the dizzying variety of obsessive presentations, which seem to defy a singular…

The proleptic unconscious and the exemplary moment in psychoanalysis
In this paper I argue that a central feature of manifestations of the unconscious in clinical work is its proleptic dimension. In its essence, the proleptic unconscious is anticipatory and futural in its orientation. The classical view of unconscious mental life posits the existence of a spacial location filled with positive content there to be discovered; but this view risks reification and a clinical approach in which the analyst "finds what sh…

A Note on Roy Schafer
Japa 67/1
The Analyst as Listening-Accompanist
Bion and Lacan have surveyed the territory of the desire of the analyst most compellingly, though an explicit pairing of the two is rare in the literature. The difference between them as regards desire appears to be stark: the former says no to desire, the latter says yes. This paper essays to show that despite clear differences, both Bion and Lacan situate the analyst in the same open, present, and futural position. This analytic position is mob…
Critique of Regression
Body and Symbol
The Specter of the Primitive
Traditional psychoanalytic theories of development hold that the adult neurotic can regress, or has already regressed, to the childhood arrests and/or fixations in which his pathology originated. More recent critiques have called this possibility into question. It is unlikely that anyone can roll back the additions and modifications of lifespan development in a full-fledged return to the needs, wishes, and anxieties of childhood. By regression, t…

精神分析师的欲望和自恋性阻抗问题 (The Analyst’s Desire and the Problem of Narcissistic Resistances)
分析师不可避免地会欲求着与病人的特别体验,这常常导向自恋性基础上的阻抗。这样的欲望形式是值得思考的。 可以检视一下这五种假设: 1 分析师情不自禁地会有欲望,并想要被分析者认可这些欲望; 2 这些欲望经常标识了分析师的理论信仰和技术性干预; 3 自恋性的欲望及其影响在分析实践中是普遍存在的; 4 病人经常在留心分析师的各种目的;5 病人常常希望分析师将他的欲望放在一边来倾听自己,以使病人能够深入到自己的利益中去。拉康“二元关系”的概念是这一讨论的核心。新克莱因派关于自恋性阻抗的位置也将被探究,而“分析性第三者”的概念也成为了这一问题的一个潜在解决方式。由此扩展的一个案例阐明了这些主要观点
The Critique of Regression
The term regression refers to the idea that a person can return to earlier phases of mental development and the primitive modes of functioning associated with them. A core concept in both conflict and deficit models of development, the idea has nonetheless come under increasing scrutiny from critics who argue that it misleads us into a genetic fallacy whereby we reduce the issues of adolescent and adult development to their childhood precursors. …

The Intrapsychic and Interactional Realms
This paper addresses the tension between Freud’s emphasis on the intrapsychic world and the emphasis placed by the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG) on real interaction. Freud claimed that the intrapsychic world is primary; the BCPSG claim that interaction is primary. Both assume that these “levels” are discrete domains that can be isolated empirically, and that interact according to regulative rules in the natural world. This assumption …
Desire and Responsibility
The analyst's desire expressed in impactful wishes and intentions is foundational to countertransference experience, yet undertheorized in the literature. The "wider" countertransference view, associated with neo-Kleinian theory, obscures the nature of countertransference and the analyst's contribution to it. A systematic analysis of the logic of desire as an intentional mental state is presented. Racker's (1957) talion law and Lacan's (1992) the…

Nothing Could Be Further From the Truth”
It is an oft-noted clinical phenomenon that the analyst's mistakes are beneficial to the analytic process. Although the analyst's mistakes, misunderstandings, and faulty functioning have been described by psychoanalysts of various theoretical persuasions, no overall theory has been advanced to account for this clinical phenomenon. To address this theoretical lacuna the central Lacanian notions of lack and desire are brought to bear. In particular…
The Analyst's Desire and the Problem of Narcissistic Resistances
The ways in which the analyst's desire for particular experiences with patients is inevitable and often leads to narcissistically based resistances are considered. Five propositions are examined: (1) that the analyst cannot help but have desires and want them recognized by the analysand; (2) that these desires frequently underwrite the analyst's theoretical beliefs and technical interventions; (3) that narcissistic desires and their influence are…

Otherness Within
In this paper I consider moments of insight in which the subject consciously experiences the emergence of something alien within the self, usually of a drive-related, affective, and at times uncanny nature. These are crucial, yet neglected, experiences of insight within the therapeutic process. Such experiences do not fit easily into our theory, because usual descriptions of insight stress the ego's integrative capacities. I attempt to demonstrat…

Putting Practice Into Theory
The question of the training analysis demands a complicated set of answers that engage the issue at different levels of human organization. Historically, the training analysis has been the central feature of the tripartite model of psychoanalytic education. Internal and external pressures have burdened the training analysis and called its legitimacy into question. This problem of legitimacy amounts to a lack of coherence in the training analyst (…
