Example text
I first became interested in psychoanalytic theory as a government major at Oberlin College, while writing a senior thesis on the political theory of Freud. My own dynamics are sufficiently Freudian that I found his writing utterly compelling. Several books by his protégé, the psychologist Theodor Reik, were in bookstores at the time, and I began to devour them. After graduating, I moved with my husband to Brooklyn, where it dawned on me that Reik was still alive and in Manhattan. I became intrigued with the idea of meeting someone who had been so close to Freud and had written so movingly about the human condition.
Pine (1990) likened the different viewpoints in psychoanalysis to the proverbial blind men and elephant: “The complexity of the human animal is sufficiently great such that we gain in our understanding by having multiple perspectives upon it” 20 PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY (p. 4). The perspective represented in this book is synthetic in the spirit of Pine’s observations. The reader is entitled to know something about my own identifications, affiliations, allegiances, and assumptions. In deference to compelling arguments made by numerous contemporary writers that one cannot be unbiased but can at least acknowledge biases that are conscious, I will try to describe and account for my own point of view.
Our talents and inclinations as practitioners are varied enough to encompass many different kinds of work. From my perspective as someone who cringes when authoritarian procedures are purveyed as the essence of psychoanalytic therapy, an accidental benefit of the fact that analysis is no longer intellectually dominant in medicine, clinical psychology, and social work is that only those students with genuine psychoanalytic affinities will now be likely to seek analytic supervision and training.
