s I look forward to our program in collaboration

with the Virginia Psychoanalytic Society in Charlottesville next month, with its varied emphasis on applications of analysis, I feel prompted to reflect on the discipline of applied psychoanalysis. What exactly, one might wonder, is applied analysis? Whatever it is, one might also ask, is it a legitimate extension of psychoanalysis proper, and, if so, from what sources does it derive its legitimacy? Does it have foundations more solid, for instance, than the irresistible parlor game of the psuedo-analysis of everything and everyone in sight indulged in by students of the field? What a relief that this is limited only to students! In fact I think these questions may have relevance to the American College of Psychoanalysts beyond the content of our forthcoming program. After all, as Robert Michaels’ recent presentation on the history of the relationship between psychoanalysis and psychiatry made clear, one of the most important applications of psychoanalysis has been to psychiatry. For some of us, without

this application, psychiatry would seem an empty, mostly dehumanized shadow of itself. For many, however, psychiatry, especially in recent times, minus psychoanalysis and its applications seems like a good idea. On the other hand, holding in mind WH Auden’s vision of Freud as a “climate of opinion,” we might wonder whether a psychiatry free of many applications of psychoanalysis is even conceivable in our post-Freudian era. At first glance applied psychoanalysis seems readily definable. If psychoanalysis is a particular clinical situation that utilizes the method of free association and the concepts of transference and resistance to elucidate unconscious motivations and content, then applied psychoanalysis must be something else that puts to use some of what we are able to glean from this clinical situation. The “something else” seems to cover a lot of territory. Recent programs of the College have included presentations on Gerald Edelman’s neural Darwinism; Paul Ekman’s studies of universal facial expressions of emotion; Vamik Volkan’s, Ira Brenner’s, and others’ explorations of the interdigitation of historical catastrophes and intrapsychic life; and William Singleterry’s considerations of the relevance of neuroscientific insights to psychotherapy with patients with disorders within the autistic spectrum. In all of these instances, we can easily observe the application of ideas that are at home in the

Volume XLVIII 2013 Summer Newsletter The American College of Psychoanalysts

psychoanalytic clinical situation to wide ranging fields of study. For us as psychoanalysts, the contents of these presentations seem enhanced in value and validity insofar as they are consistent with our clinical experiences and findings. Larger truths than the ones accessible to any single method by itself seem implicit in such convergences. I think that there is a kind of epistemological interaction at work here. The arrows of validation and insight go in both directions. Just as findings from psychoanalysis inform our understanding of development, biography, neuroscience, and the social history of various human travesties, so do studies in these areas illuminate our clinical investigations. We do not have to look far to find examples of this bi-directional influence. As Freud shifted from his early seduction theory to the intrapsychic emphasis of the topographic model, he applied all sorts of findings from other fields to the clinical situation. These included pre-analytic studies of dreams, findings of folklorists, his own self analysis (a particularly interesting area of applied analysis), Kraft Ebbing’s sexological studies, and much else. George Makari has off ered a rich discussion of Freud’s extra analytic sources (Revolution in Mind, The Creation of Psychoanalysis, 2008). Freud’s later explorations of religious and obsessional phenomenon, not to mention the dynamics of the Oedipus complex, owed much to his explorations of the anthropology of his day. Robert Paul has off ered a fascinating update of the importance of Freud’s anthropological studies for his understanding of clinical psychoanalytic findings in Moses and Civilization: the Meaning behind Freud’s

Myth (1996). My own explorations in applied analysis in recent years have centered on opera. This has included presentations and discussions with varied groups, some very analytic, some much less so, and has often included collaboration with musicologists. In this endeavor, covering territory from Mozart to Berg, I have often found analytic hypotheses to be enriched and clarified by contributions from many outside the field. In a recent discussion of Don Giovanni at the American Psychoanalytic Association meeting, I observed as John Muller from Julliard articulated an interpretation of the Don as a sort of impersonal instinctual life force to a room full of spellbound analysts. Perhaps drive theory is still with us after all, even if often absent from the formulations of analysts. It is in the spirit of the mutual influence of clinical psychoanalysis and other disciplines of study that I anticipate our meeting in Charlottesville. Perhaps it would be possible to have a rich understanding of Freud’s two principles of mental functioning without Jeff erson’s concept of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” but for me the two go hand in hand. As for Ingmar Bergman and Persona, my own late adolescent experience of his films certainly reinforced the developing sensibilities that enabled me to find The Interpretation of Dreams revelatory a few years later. On the question of the application of psychoanalysis to understanding marriage, we might as well try, along with everyone else. Why not join this very old conversation? It seems clear to me that there will be much food for analytic thought in our meeting with the Virginia Psychoanalytic Society.

EDITORIAL NOTE David Dean Brockman, M.D.

his Spring issue of the Newsletter will contain a new feature that is designed to stimulate a lively intellectual dialogue within the membership. The Newsletter Editors have considered for some time posting a discussion of a question about what makes psychoanalysis, as practiced and conceptualized by psychiatrists, unique? This subject arose after many discussions about teaching psychoanalysis to psychiatric trainees and about how a medical model informs clinical thinking. The Editors invited Drs. Elio Frattaroli and Nathan Szajnberg to begin a discussion. Once published, the discussions will continue among the members of the College. Please send your responses and commentary to us. It is our fervent hope to stimulate our members to express their views on the selected topics as a way to strengthen and enhance intellectual interest in our field and most particularly in the College in the interim between our annual meetings. This spring meeting in Charlottesville as conceived by our President Dr. Beaumont, the Program Chair, Dr. Drew Clemens, and with the help of Drs Jerome Blackman and prior President Vamik Volkan in conjunction with the Virginia Psychoanalytic Society is not only most creative but promises to be one of the most exciting ever, not only from a psychoanalytic view, but also from an historical, political, and botanical perspective all of which remind us scientifically minded persons of who we are as clinicians, healers, and learners. A topic that has occupied me for some time is the matter of aff ective disorders of anxiety and depression. We can begin with Edward Bibring’s idea of the psychological experience of “ego helplessness” and Freud’s idea of “traumatic

flooding” of the psyche or an increased cytokine genesis in our several billion neuronal connections. Furthermore, it appears that traumatic long-term memories are stored in the temporal lobe amygdyla structure. This primary repository source of those over-whelming flooded aff ective associative experiences in the entire mind is what I think we mean by trauma. When one memory is accessed it seems all or most other pathological memories are mobilized at the same time. It is as though a stack of ‘pancakes’ (of bad memories) is integrated into a massive overwhelming and flooding of the brain (mind’s) capacities to resist splitting and regression. Prime examples are grief and mourning the loss of a spouse, parent loss in childhood, childhood sexual abuse, or victimization by major natural physical catastrophes. Onset of anxiety in all its psychological and physical manifestations when not dealt with successfully leads to withdrawal and depression. This somewhat skeletal and primitive outline is how I am approaching this topic by directing our attention to a metaphorical frame as well as a neuroscience frame of reference within our use of a psychoanalytic vocabulary. It goes without saying that there is a spectrum of disorders along a broad chart consisting at one end of organic disorders and at the other end primarily psychological disorders and many mixed forms in between. I welcome comments from our members to expand our understanding of aff ective disorders.It is very interesting that our meeting will be held in the Boars Head Inn that calls to memory the Tavern by the same name in Shakespeare’s play King Henry IV, part II, Act II, Scene IV.


DISCUSSION OF WHAT IS PSYCHOANALYSIS?

David R. Edelstein, M.D.

Continued on page 5

he Newsletter editors have considered, for some time, posting a discussion about what makes psychoanalysis, as practiced and conceptualized by psychiatrists, unique? This subject arose after many discussions about teaching psychoanalysis to psychiatric trainees and about how the medical model informs clinical thinking. The editors invited Elio Frattaroli and Nathan Szajnberg to begin this discussion and both wanted to first define their views of psychoanalysis itself. The editors are publishing their succinct descriptions of psychoanalysis and invite our readers to use these succinct descriptions as a basis for their own comments on the unique characteristics of psychoanalysis as practiced and conceived by psychiatrists. Please send your comments to the editors.

What Is Psychoanalysis? by Elio Frattaroli Psychoanalysis is a treatment that promotes the emotional healing and growth of one person through an intersubjective process between two people. It posits that emotional suff ering and symptoms are caused by our need to remain unconscious of certain vital but potentially destabilizing emotions. This need begins in early childhood as an adaptive response to trauma from without—via dissociation of intolerable aff ect; and to innate transgressive emotional impulses from within—via repression and projection of anxiety-provoking emotion. These dissociated aff ects and repressed emotions then develop over time into organized motivational complexes— integrating attitudes, beliefs, expectations, needs, desires, fears, hopes, aspirations, motives, purposes and personality tendencies—that are essential to our vitality. Eventually, our need to keep these emotions unconscious—rejecting, disowning or being otherwise intolerant of them in ourselves and/or in others—produces a condition of alienation and disconnection from self and others that interferes with emotional growth and inhibits our ability to work, play, and love. Psychoanalysis heals this condition of alienation

and disconnection by facilitating the patient’s natural tendency to become conscious. Through her quality of attention—her empathic, accepting non-judgmental listening—the analyst maintains an intersubjective condition of safety in which the patient can become curious about, pay attention to, become aware of and try to put into words the subtle flux and flow of his moment-to-moment inner experience (the method of free association). The patient’s eff ort to notice and put into words all aspects of his inner experience amplifies the natural tendency of unconscious emotions to become conscious as feelings. But in addition to this internal tendency toward consciousness (the progressive path of healing and growth), unconscious emotions also exert a drive-like externalizing pressure toward action and interaction, which serves the conflicting need to remain unconscious (the regressive path of safety and stability). So when a disturbing emotion threatens to emerge into consciousness, it produces anxiety, which then automatically activates our externalizing personality patterns (defenses). These patterns serve to “discharge” the emotional pressure in action and interaction, thereby minimizing anxiety and the need for consciousness; ie. they enact our disturbing emotions so that we don’t have to feel them. Psychoanalysis, on the other hand, encourages us to feel our disturbing emotions so that we aren’t driven to enact them. There is thus an inevitable conflict between the inner movement of unconscious emotions toward consciousness that psychoanalysis fosters and their outward movement toward discharge/enactment that energizes the personality tendencies of both patient and analyst. This movement toward enactment opposes or resists the process of becoming conscious. It keeps us alienated from ourselves and disconnected from others by projecting the emotions that disturb us into other people who then disturb us. This projection is not only an intrapsychic but an

intersubjective process. In trying to communicate his experience in words, the patient also produces non-verbal expressions of unconscious emotion (transference) which provoke emotional reactions (countertransference) in the analyst. Biologically the patient’s aff ect evokes a mirroring aff ect (or defense against it) in the analyst. Psychologically the patient projects (transfers) his disowned emotion into the analyst, whose task is first to notice the aff ective pressure and become conscious of and accept the emotion within herself; second, to use this self-awareness to understand the patient’s unconscious transference experience (his attitude, expectation, desire, fear, etc.); and third to respond in an empathic, non-judgmental way that helps the patient notice first his inner experience of anxiety and safety-maintaining resistance and second the disturbing emotion against which the resistance is directed. The analyst has resistance too, however, so she will often remain unconscious of her countertransference emotions while enacting them with the patient in a self-reinforcing interaction where the analyst’s unreflective response (or non-response) tends to confirm the patient’s transference expectations and reinforce his resistance (his stability-maintaining condition of alienation and disconnection). Such enactments continue (are repeated) until they become disturbing enough that either the patient or the analyst notices them as resistance and can then begin to focus attention on the emotional experience that is being resisted. Whether or not the patient can become conscious of and accept his most disturbing transference emotions depends largely on whether the analyst can become conscious of and accept her mirroring countertransference response to these emotions. What is healing about this intrapsychic and intersubjective process of becoming conscious is not the self-awareness per se but the self-acceptance it entails—the patient’s acknowledgment of and compassion for aspects of himself that he had previously hated or been ashamed of (supported by the analyst’s compassion for these same aspects in herself and in the patient). This healing experience of self-acceptance and of being accepted inevitably leads to greater acceptance of and compassion

for others. Moreover, by decreasing the patient’s need for compulsive unconscious enactment, it expands his capacity for intimacy and for free moral (compassionate) choice. Intrapsychically, the overall process resolves a conflict between two levels of self-experience: the biological and the personal, the It and the I. When unconscious aff ects—operating at the biological level—threaten to become conscious feelings at the personal level, they disrupt our personality and sense of self (causing anxiety), so we instinctively repress or dissociate them and projectively enact them. Healing (making whole) entails reconnecting (or connecting for the first time) with these disowned unconscious emotions—getting in touch with them as fully conscious feelings, attitudes, desires and values that we accept as part of ourselves, part of being human. In doing so we transform the biological into the personal, instinctive enactment into free moral choice. In the words of Freud’s compelling aphorism, “Where It was, there shall I become.” It’s like the Pinocchio story: Getting in touch with our disturbing emotions, making the unconscious conscious, transforms us from neurobiological puppets into fully human beings.

Thoughts on Psychoanalysis: by Nathan Szajnberg

For my psychoanalytic work both with children and adults, fundamental principles are building autonomy, that is self-rule, freedom balanced with responsibility, ability to depend and be depended upon, to play (with the seriousness that children have about play) and a multi-layered sense of development. To achieve creativity means to harness eros to psyche, to have love infuse reason, and reason to modulate passion. Development is both the normative achievements of life that unfold from infancy, and the unfolding of treatment in an at-times, unpredictable, yet also understandable series of stages. Treament, following Aristotle, should have some beginning, middle and end, even if at times the middle is muddled. Being surprised (both analyst and analysand) can be a sign


of the coming alive of a dormant inner life. Self-rule, autonomy, means a sense of ruling oneself with some sense of freedom rather than feeling ruled by the buff eting winds of the outside world and those of our inner lives. In fact, it often means developing a better radar for the inner storms and waves and tides that is an achievement of analysis. By sensing both inner and outer streams, we can better choose and pilot the craft of our life and navigate our way through life. We learn to navigate whether winds come abeam or aft; to handle the doldrums, to know how to rudder, put up or take down sails, even to take the wind out of our jibs when we feel our lives getting out of control. Analysis means forging an alliance between eros and psyche; a marriage in which our passions enliven our thinking; our thought reign in our passions when needed.

Knowing our unknown selves, those parts of ourselves that are both hidden, but show telltale signs, or those parts of our selves that are underdeveloped, remains a part of psychoanalytic work. This knowledge both contributes to sensing our inner landscape, but also to better sense the ways in which others overlap, or impinge, or add to our inner territory. If one thinks of play and playfulness in ways that children do -- a serious enterprise, a practice “working” -- then to work and to love are good endpoints to treatment. On the other hand, Ticho wrote that treatment and life goals are diff erent and psychoanalysis should achieve treatment goals. Like some catalyst, such treatment goals unleash the capacity for life goals, first knowing what they are, then how to pursue them.
