Dear list

One of psychoanalytic therapeutic choices is creating inner objects
of parents. No inner object patient is not rare. Psychoanalyst
becomes father or mother of patient, and no neutrality position. This
intensive psychoanalysis often succeeds to create inner object of
patient. In session, he/she adds opposite sex for father or mother is
good choice. Real mother and father experience is needed for patient.
Real experience creates inner object of parents.
If you know the shades of experience, please discuss and tell me
about it.

Dear list

Inner speech is the concept of developmental psychology. I think
conversation with God is called for inner speech. In psychoanalysis,
analysand grows up sound inner speech. Christ or Zeus or appointment,
we must hear to divide with.
Jungian analysis or psychoanalysis, and Gestalt therapy are good
choice for dividing conversation to inner speech.
Inner speech stems from Russian psychologist's concept. God in
reality is explained, some hear.

Dear Friends,

Prof. Janet Sayers' _Kleinians_ is a good book. This book deals with
several immigrant psychoanalysts. In Britain, well-known
psychoanalysts are immigrants from Continent. Freud is the first big
immigrant. Prof. Sayers' analysis is well for readers. I think
psychoanalysis is the academics of the immigrant's.
You have to distinguish immigrant from native. I hope you tell me
which psychoanalysis is the academics of the immigrant.

'Vicissitudes of Therapists' Self-Esteem' 88K
by Robert M. Young

I gave various versions of this talk during 2004 to the Association of
Arbours Psychotherapists, to the MA students in

Wessex Psychotherapy Society, Southampton.
On each occasion I was very struck by the open, enthusiastic and

that the members of the audiences had experienced very few
opportunities to discuss such matters in a group setting.

Dear friends and colleagues

We need meta-analytic study of psychotherapy now. Prof. Hans Eysenk studeid
the effect of psychotherapy by mata-analytic view, not using statistic
method. Recent studies use statistic method. Prof. Peter Fonagy's study is
_What Works for Whom_. Prof. Eysenk defeated psychoanalysis. I know many
papers are published for the effect of psychotherapy. Now using these data
of papers, we try to study meta-analytic study of the effect of
psychotherapy. As a result, I hope psychoanalysis regards as effect
psychotherapy by meta-analysis.

Dear Friends,

One of problems of psychoanalysis is the structure of treatment. It is
everyday analysis vs. one session weekly. In Japan, UK and north
America, play therapy takes place one session weekly. One session
school is popular in Japan and north America. But It is not popular in
psychoanalysis. Psychoanalyst chooses everyday analysis for treatment
of children.
If you consider effective of psychotherapy, your choice is weekly or
everyday? In this list the choice is everyday analysis, I think. The
everyday analysis is major in Europe.
Some opinions of the structure of treatment. Please tell me.

In Japan psychoanalyst sometimes is discriminated by ordinary people.
The problem is having sex with a client. I tell psychotherapist

Sometimes superviser has sex with an analysand. Its behavior is

If you like, please tell me having sex in psychoanalysis. I hope it's
problematic, to tell the truth. The national feeling is negative for
its behavior, I think in Japan. But I know the truth of foreign

Dr. Melfi's Flaws

January 2, 2002

To the Editor:

I am concerned that an assemblage of psychoanalysts, in
honoring the fictional Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Tony Soprano's
therapist), creates the impression of professional
endorsement of the psychotherapeutic persona that Dr. Melfi
embodies (Arts & Ideas pages, Dec. 29).

In fact, many who practice psychoanalysis would take issue
with aspects of Dr. Melfi's clinical technique, including
her looseness in professional boundaries and
confidentiality, and her use of psychoactive medication.

I am a social-personality psychologist currently recruiting participants for

While I cannot divulge details about the exact purpose of the study, my

dreams in the foundation or regulation of waking motivation, affect, and

'A "Confusion of Tongues":Difficulties in Conceptualizing Development
in Psychoanalytic Theories'
by Marilyn Charles, Ph.D.
http://www.human-nature.com/ksej/charles.htm

Abstract
Recent attempts to integrate the richness of an intrapsychic analytic
focus with the actuality of social interactions as explicated by
developmental research have been obstructed by a 'confusion of
tongues' between linear and dynamic models. In keeping with a
tendency to conceptualize complex phenomena in terms of primary
oppositions rather than integrative dialectics, there appears to be
an underlying ambivalence towards valuing nonverbal versus verbal

Dear Mr Lyons,

I think that a structural difference between the two should be better recognized than seems to be the case: autism would be an aspect of monadic psychic structure, whereas AS could better be understood form considering dyadic structure. Both structures refer to subject rather than ego, as can easily be seen from the respective ways individuals can or must relate to speech and language.

Yes, this is the fundamental precept of psychoanalysis--it's not so
much what actually happened, but the nature of the fantasies that develop
in relationship to what happened.

Psychoanalysis is about unconscious fantasy, and the impact of
unconscious fantasy upon behavior.

I agree. Psychoanalysis must turn to the study of the shared
psychological processes that give rise to social institutions, and the
manner in which unconscious fantasy is played out on the stage of reality.

My dear colleagues,

There is an investigation currently in
http://www.egroups.com/message/akhnaton/1011
that you may be interested in contributing to.

We know that Freud was very curious about the way Akhnaton behaved with
his father. As Karl Abraham suggested Akhnaton may have intended to kill his
father as Oedipus, yet in a symbolic way. In the refered post an
Egyptologist presents how this symbolic way could have been <<the expunging
of the name ot the Aton from his father’s cartouche.>>
Beside, we know that another psychoanalyst has underlined the role of the
Name-of-the-Father in the Oedipus Complex.

In the present time, our understanding works the way the signified is
under-standing the significant.

something (not ‘for’ me, you, Daniel, Adrian, Zenon etc… in this case, but)
‘for’ the word ‘Environment’.
The study post#892 & picture

explains how the ‘under-standing’ of the ‘Unconscious’ significand comes
by ‘Z’ reflection from the ‘Environment’ significand (meanwhile the
‘environment’ meaning is changed too).

There has been considerable scientific scrutiny of PA theory over the years
and the support of a number of PA propositions. This work has gone on in
areas of motivation, development, cognition and affect. While frequently the
names of the constructs are changed, there are many studies in social
psychology, infant developmental research, motivation etc. which support pa
principles.

>Now personally, I prefer psychoanalytic and other "depth" approaches since
they value that which is human in people,
rather than treating people as machines. But that's simply my value, and I
don't expect that to be shared by others if they have different tastes.<

Well, that's where we now are in the contemporary world of "mental

they are human beings.

As some have pointed out, psychotherapy research is so complex, as there are
so many factors to control for. However, there was a similar debate about 2
years ago on the clinical psychology forum, also involving Dr. Eisman and
others including myself. At that time, I posted specific references from
controlled research (including meta-analyses) showing that, overall, therapy
identified as "psychodynamic" or "psychoanalytic" was just as effective--from
a symptom reduction framework--as other forms of therapy identified as
"interpersonal" and "cognitive-behavioral" and others. And that's my
summation of all of the research--psychoanalytic therapy is no better and no
worse than other

This is so merry, I just have to put in my two cents: I notice there have
been no Freudians involved in the fray. Could it be that Freud died in l993
as suggested by Time magazine? I don't think so. True heroes are hard to
kill. I think the silence is due to the fact that Eisman is Adolph
Friedlander--he who hates to be ignored. Eisman sincerely believes he can
out think Freud, but unconsciously longs for even a kick from the master.
The real intellectuals in this e-community are experiencing sadistic glee at
Eisman's expense simply by ignoring

I hardly ever get posts from this list. Suddenly I receive one out of the
blue from Dr. Eisman who makes a puzzling remark about social workers.
Several other listmembers ask him to explain this remark and he replies with
contemptuous remarks, as comfortably as though we all exchanged posts
regularly. For me it has been jarring. Happily, numerous other posts have
eloquently defended the value of post-Newtonian thinking (science not being
what it used to be these days!) and the art of therapy. 

[More ...]

Dr Eisman continues in his angry attacks on "types" of which he disapproves,
be they "social work psychoanalysts" or "lit-crit types" (his terms). He
seems to forget that he is writing about people, not "types", and that these
people, the vast majority of whom he does not know and who have never harmed
him, don't deserve his evacuating upon them.

There are times, remarkably enough, when problems do not call for
surgery, nor medicine, nor statistical verification. A place remains,
and I dare say will always remain, for poetry, literature, art, and
compassion. When I feel troubled, I would rather seek these than the
assistance of the empiricist. And at my work, I would rather offer them,
as best as I can, than pretend that multivariate analysis can explain
the dilemmas of human existence and relationship.

Another message was posted earlier this afternoon which made far worse
criticism of some sexual machinations within psychoanalysis than those
made by me. Why was this person not attacked? For the record, and to
preserve my status as Alexander Stein's "sophomoric bigot", I believe
the behavioral descriptions in this other message (I haven't asked the
writer permission to quote her) to have merit. 

[More ...]

Dr Eisman misrepresents my perspective.

I simply don't say what he attributes to me.

I do, however, question his certitude that he and those he selectively
accredits with being "scientists" have an indisputable corner on a truth
beyond subjectivity.

I also question the science underlying his contemptuous caricature of female
psychoanalysts with training as clinical social workers.

>I refer to studies which include appropriate controls and statistical
methods-<

I myself was trained in experimental social psychology However the
notion that the only valid way of obtaining empirical information about the
world is through studies involving "controls and statistical methods" is
antiquated.

This definition rules out approximately 70% of social science,
including anthropology, history, much sociological research, not to mention
volumes of research based on clinical data.

Yes, indeed! As long as "patients" are treated by psychoanalysts as
sufferers of diagnosable mental illnesses, than my criticism about the
lack of scientific verification is relevant. Personal testimonials would
not qualify as such scientific verification.

I believe that I am well acquainted with research in psychoanalysis. I
may be wrong. In any case,
I refer to studies which include appropriate controls and statistical
methods-the kind of research common in the field of psychology-when I
refer to research. I do not include literature reviews (as opposed to
meta-analyses) or case histories or the kind of stuff

An invitation to speak on a subject of my choice allowed me to write
about two of my heroes in the light of the Kleinian concept of 'the
depressive position', which is as good as it gets in Kleinian
metapsychology. I examine the lives - the tribulations, achievements
and relationships (especially the marriages) - of Abraham Lincoln and
Nelson Mandela and also reflect on the concept of stoicism as a
potential philosophical equivalent for the depressive position. The

Dear Friends

I am familiar with Freud's literature Art. Freud is the European heritage.
Europe has very rich art which attracts many scholars and artists.

Freud wrote literature of culture. One is *Der Moses des Michelangelo*,
another is *Eine Kindheitserinnerung des Leonardo da Vinci*. We can see
their art works in European museums.

*The Virgin and Child with St.Anne* at Louvre in Paris.

_Kleinian Studies_ is a new ejournal. Its scope is any writings
relating to Kleinian theory and practice, including clinical
practice, but it has a wider brief which includes object relations.
By 'Kleinian' the editors mean the work of Klein and those influenced
by her work. We are also interested in the domain of groups,
institutions, history, literature, film, culture and any other sphere
where these ideas may be found helpful. We also welcome constructive
criticisms of Kleinian and object relations approaches.
Submissions can be articles, reflections, opinions, personal
reflections, poems, literary or film criticism. If

On 10/23 I sent out a request for information regarding a book I am working
on, "Freudian Dream Interpretation for Poets." Unfortunately, I made a
mistake in phrasing which led to confusion. I am working on a chapter
dealing with the compulsion to repeat. I need to know if there have been
any reports of dreams which relive the trauma of electric-convulsive
therapy. If someone in a position to know has never heard of such a thing,
that, in itself, would be useful information. If someone has verifiable
information about the existence of even one such dream, that

Dear Colleagues:
I am trying to write a book called "Freudian Dream Interpretation for
Poets." It is sort of a guidebook for poets who insist on exploiting dreams
and mythology but are getting tired of embarrassing themselves. I am not a
psychoanalyst, but I have been a worshipful admirer of Freud for the past
thirty-six years, and I am always trying to make sure I understand his
theories clearly. Can anyone tell me if people who undergo
electric-convulsive therapy have post-traumatic dreams about it, and if
they do not, is there a widely-accepted theory as to why that should be?
