We
are glad to announce the issue of the last book published
in English by Edizioni Frenis Zero:"INFANT RESEARCH
AND PSYCHOANALYSIS" edited by Giuseppe Leo,
writings by Beatrice Beebe, Karlen Lyons-Ruth, Jeremy P.
Nahum, Elisabet Solheim, Colwyn Trevarthen, Edward Z.
Tronick, Lauriane Vulliez-Coady. Collection "Borders
of Psychoanalysis", Frenis Zero publisher, Lecce
2018, pp.273.
This
book has the hard task to cover an interdisciplinary
area in which psychoanalysis has to deal with infant
research. The development of infant research
methodologies is illustrated in the present book by the
contribution written by Beatrice Beebe, whose
‘journey’ leads us through the ‘creating’ of a
discipline with its creators, her traveling companions,
such as Daniel Stern, Frank Lachmann, Joseph Jaffe and
many others. Trevarthen’s chapter is a discussion of
his work with T. Berry Brazelton, passed away on March
2018. Brazelton used his trust and enjoyment of innocent
company to greet a newborn infant as a friend, and he
showed that the baby is read to share friendship with
mother and father, giving them joy. Brazelton’s belief
in innate human nature transformed pediatric care and
early diagnosis of developmental disorders, guiding
treatment, not ‘of’ the baby, but ‘with’ him/her
as an individual with unique expressions of vitality.
The last two chapters, instead, deal with clinical
implications of infant research. Tronick’s
contribution focuses on mother-infant dyad as well as on
analyst-patient one, conceived as open dynamic systems,
capable of meaning making, in which coherence is at best
imperfect, and coordination alternates with mismatching.
In open dynamic systems messiness itself is inherent to
the process of meaning making because of limitations in
their capacity, «their different time scales, the many
polymorphs of meaning that have to be integrated, and
because of the many kinds of meaning making processes»
(including affective, cognitive, memorial, linguistic,
bodily and psychodynamic meaning making processes, such
as a dynamic unconscious, projective identification and
transference). «Dyadic states of consciousness»
Tronick writes in the chapter «are joint creations and,
as such, bring together the messy, unpredictable and
inchoate features of two individuals’ state of
consciousness, not just the messiness of one». But
meaning meaning processes and security making ones,
though normally overlapping each other, are not the same,
and this heterogeneity between motivational systems (Lichtenberg
et al., 2011) can cover the heterogeneity of
psychopathological conditions. Lyons-Ruth and
colleagues’ chapter is focused on the representational
world of the mother, particularly on the assessment of
mother’s representation of role-confusion in her
relation with her child. The authors call attention to
the dimension of sexualisation in the relationship, a
high indicator of role-confusion. This emerging body of
work points to the importance of being alert to
indicators of role-confusion in the clinical setting.
The findings can inform and enrich counselling and
psychology practice by familiarizing clinicians with how
to listen for indicators of role-confusion while talking
with parents about their relationship with the child.

Book "FUNDAMENTALISM
AND PSYCHOANALYSIS", Giuseppe Leo (Editor),
Prefaced by Vamik D. Volkan, writings by Lene Auestad,
Werner Bohleber, Sverre Varvin, Linden West. Collection "Mediterranean
Id-entities", Frenis Zero publisher, Lecce 2017,
pp.214.
The
collection “Mediterranean Id-entities” is devoted to
publish books in order to investigate the role of
Mediterranean cultures from a psychoanalytic point of
view, in front of the anthropological transformations
concerning human societies and social institutions in
the contemporary world. This book has the hard task to
cover an interdisciplinary area in which psychoanalysis
has to deal with fundamentalism as a social phenomenon
and therefore with ‘bordering’ disciplines (such as
religion history, transcultural studies, cultural
anthropology) often with epistemologies that for origin
and history appear to be incomparable to it. Lene
Auestad intends to integrate the psychological analysis
of the subject with its social embedding. She
investigates the importance of the social unconscious
and its effects on the prejudiced intentions of the
individual apart from its own active interpretations.
She highlights the importance the psychoanalytical
approach provides in understanding the unspoken,
unconscious contents of the social phenomena and how
much the socially critical approach is able to enrich
the analytical view which merely focuses on the subject
regarding the effects of the social consensus. While
Auestad’s scrutiny aims at the social convention’s
role as an agent affecting the individual’s deeds and
thinking, Linden West’s contribution draws on
‘psycho-social’ understandings, combining
psychoanalysis and critical theory, as well as the work
of John Dewey, to interrogate Islamic fundamentalist
groups in a post-industrial city. It explores processes
of self-recognition in groups and paranoid-schizoid
modes of functioning, in which unwanted parts of self
and of culture are split off and projected on to the
other. The world is correspondingly divided into good
and bad, pure and impure. John Dewey makes a crucial
distinction between processes of democratic education
and closed groups, which is what fundamentalist groups
are, by reference to the quality of relationship to the
other, and to experiential and narrative openness.
However, it is also suggested that fundamentalism is
ordinary, in that each of us can feel out of our depth,
at times, and we may grab at ideas promising truth and
nothing but the truth, which is ultimately illusion.
Except not everyone reaches for a Kalashnikov, which is
where individual biographies matter for subtler
understanding of difference within commonalities.
Fundamentalism has increasingly become a part of the
political discourse in Western countries and is to a
large degree associated with Islamic Jihadism.
Fundamentalism has, however, been a concern in all
religions, and Werner Bohleber in this book discusses
its connections with violence in monotheistic religions.
Fundamentalism is also a concern in professional
organisations and in this book Sverre Varvin discusses
the relation between fundaments for a science and
fundamentalism in psychoanalysis. This is related to
general trends of fundamentalism in religious and
political contexts. A central question is how adherence
to fundamentals, understood at basic principles for a
profession or a religious-political movement, may
develop into fundamentalism and how this may develop
into more violent forms. Psychoanalytic understanding of
mass psychology and unconscious processes at group
levels are developed in this book by each of the
outstanding authors in order to understand present
Islamic and other forms of fundamentalist movements in
the European context.
5) "NEUROSCIENCE
AND PSYCHOANALYSIS", G. Leo (ed.), prefaced by
Georg Northoff, writings by David Mann, Allan N.
Schore, Robert Stickgold, Bessel A. Van Der Kolk,
Grigoris Vaslamatzis, Matthew P. Walker, Collection
"Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience", Frenis Zero
Publisher, Lecce 2014, pp.300, € 49,00.
The
book gathers some papers concerning the dialogue between
neuroscience and psychoanalysis. Following the
Introduction written by Georg Northoff, concerning the
possibility of overcoming the highly impasse generating
contraposition between localizationism and holism, G.
Vaslamatzis deals with a “Framework for a new dialogue
between psychoanalysis and neurosciences”. In this
chapter the author describes three points of
epistemological congruence: firstly, dualism is no
longer a satisfactory solution; secondly, cautions for
the centrality of interpretation (hermeneutics); and,
thirdly, the self-criticism of neuroscientists. David
W.Mann in his contribution “The mirror crack’d:
dissociation and reflexivity in self and group phenomena”
tries to show how reflexive processes generate each of
three levels of the human system (self, relationships,
group) and integrate them one to another, while
dissociative processes tend throughout to pull them
apart. Health and illness within the self, the
relationship and the group can be understood as special
states of the dynamic equilibria between these cohesive
and dispersive trends. In “Sleep, memory and
plasticity” Matthew P. Walker and Robert Stickgold
outline a review of the researches following the
discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM)
sleep, and specifically of those that began testing the
hypothesis that sleep, or even specific stages of sleep,
actively participated in the process of memory
development. The last two chapters, “Clinical
implications of neuroscience research in PTSD” by
Bessel A. Van Der Kolk, and “Dysregulation of the
right brain: a fundamental mechanism of traumatic
attachment and the psychopathogenesis of PTSD” by
Allan N. Schore, demonstrate how the psychopathology of
traumatic conditions can be a fertile field of dialogue
between neuroscience and psychoanalysis.

The
use
of
the
analyst
as
a
developmental
object
can
occur
in
all
analyses
but
has
been
linked
historically
to
technique
applicable
primarily
to
developmental
pathology.
It
has
also
suffered
by
its
confusion
with
the
concept
"corrective
emotional
experience."
This
paper
attempts
to
correct
that
confusion
as
well
as
to
clarify
the
mechanisms
by
which
the
analyst
as
developmental
object
contributes
to
structural
change.
To
highlight
the
unique
roles
of
the
developmental
object
in
therapeutic
action,
clinical
material
is
presented
contrasting
the
use
of
the
analyst
as
a
developmental
object
with
that
of
the
analyst
as
transference
object.
To
achieve
this
goal,
this

The Friends of the Brill Library
invite you to an evening with
Janice S. Lieberman, author of Clinical
Evolutions on the Superego, Body
and Gender in Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2018).
The value systems and
problematic morality of many of
today's leaders have affected
what is being heard in the
psychoanalyst's consulting room.
These leaders' blatant disregard
for the truth, their
normalization of deception, of
"alternative facts",
their greed, have parallels in
the thoughts and conduct of
certain patients who are in
psychoanalytic treatment today.
Media idealization of "the
body beautiful" and of the
acquisition of expensive homes
and objects, of what is on the
surface, have made the
traditional exploration of
the "inner life" a
challenge.
This book contains a series of
papers Lieberman has written in
the past 25 years that include
her observations of how changes
in values and norms of behavior
in "the world out there"
have influenced what is heard in
the consulting room. She writes
about "a new
superego". Deception
abounds and often goes
unpunished. She has observed an
increase of greed and envy and
an enhanced emphasis on the body
and its appearance. Traditional
gender roles have been
challenged in fortuitous ways,
but a certain amount of chaos
and confusion has ensued.
Relationships are found and
maintained using technology.
Many feel lonely, empty. There
are parallels for this in
several artists' lives and in
their work. She writes about
clinical dilemmas and their
resolution in working with
today's patients.
Dr.
Lieberman will be reading
passages from her book, in
particular from the chapter
"Loss of Integrity in
Contemporary Culture and
Contemporary Psyche".
Her book is available for
purchase on the Amazon and
Routledge websites, and Dr.
Lieberman will be happy to sign
copies at the event.

NYPSI Extension Course:Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy of Cancer
Patients
This course will provide the
therapist with an introduction
to psychoanalytic psychotherapy
for cancer patients and their
families. The first session will
address the unique challenges
for the therapist of
helping the patient face cancer
at various stages of the disease.
Death anxiety in both the
patient and therapist has tended
to result in avoiding this
painful discussion in
psychotherapy at all stages of
the disease. Session two focuses
on how countertransference
avoidance of death can best be
managed by interventions that
are based on empirical studies
and forty years of clinical
experience. These new
interventions can now permit the
therapist to be fully present
for the dying patient. Session
three will highlight the
challenges facing the spouses of
dying cancer patients, including
preparation for death and
managing grief and mourning. A
video "The Courage to
Survive: Facing the Loss of Your
Soul Mate" will illustrate
the psychoanalytic treatment of
a spouse during the terminal
phrase of his wife's illness and
after her death.

About the Book
Modernism,
creativity, the freedom to grow as
a "free and self-reliant
human being" - with these
beliefs, Anna Freud, the youngest
daughter of Sigmund Freud, and
Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham, the
youngest daughter of the great
American artist Louis Comfort
Tiffany, founded Vienna's Hietzing
School in the mid-1920s. To Erik
H. Erikson who taught there, it
was "the best possible school"
and today its true significance,
as both the teachers and the
students remember it, comes to
life in this lushly illustrated
book. Four historic photographs of
Sigmund Freud are showcased here
for the first time, along with
never-before-seen vintage
photographs and unpublished
archival material. Nine essays,
written expressly for this volume,
confirm the depth to which
interwar Vienna's commitment to
social democracy formed the
backdrop for a Freud/Burlingham
modernist psychoanalytic platform.
Bringing together the historic
Freud and Tiffany legacies as
never before, this lively book
restores Hietzing to its rightful
place in the history of so many
ideas with which we are still
working today.
Dr.
Danto's book is available for
purchase on the Barnes and Noble,
Karnac, and Routledge websites.
She will be happy to sign copies
at the event.
About the Film
Drawing
on a wealth of still and video
archival materials, this 15
minute digital exhibit brings to
life the fascinating
intersection of psychoanalysis
and education. Out of the
cultural and political ferment
of inter-war Vienna emerged the
Hietzing School, founded in the
1920s by Anna Freud and Dorothy
Tiffany Burlingham. The original
impulse, however, occurred in
Budapest, on September 28, 1918,
when Sigmund Freud asserted that
"the conscience of society
will awake." Anna Freud was
present for one of the most
consequential papers of Freud's
career, and from that day
forward, she pursued a life of
teaching and discovery that
merged psychoanalysis, research
on child development and
programs designed to meet the
educational and psychological
needs of the young child. The
breadth of the film's images
come from a range of private and
public collections in Europe and
America, and narrative is drawn
from her own writing on theory
and practice, from the 1920s
through the 1960s, from Vienna
to London.
Elizabeth Ann
Danto is
emeritus professor at
Hunter College - City
University of New York,
and an independent curator
who writes and lectures
internationally on the
history of psychoanalysis
as a system of thought and
a marker of urban culture.
