Postmodern Self Psychology, the last volume of the Progress in Self
Psychology series under the editorship of Arnold Goldberg, charts
the path of self psychology into the postmodern era of
psychoanalysis. It begins with Goldberg's thoughtful consideration
of the several tributaries of self-psychological thought in the
decades after Kohut and continues with Mark Gehrie's elaboration of
"reflective realism" as a self-psychological way out of
epistemological quagmires about the "essential reality" of the
analytic endeavor. Clinical contributions offer contemporary
perspectives on clinical themes that engaged Kohut in the 1970s: a
study of the effect of "moments of meeting" on systems of
pathological accomodation; a reappraisal of empathy as a
"bi-directional negation"; and an assessment of the diverse
clinical phenomena that justify a prolonged "understanding only"
phase of treatment. The theory section of Volume 18 comparably
charts the movement of self psychology toward a postmodern
sensibility. Contributors reappraise intersubjectivity theory as a
contextualist treatment approach consistent with dynamic systems
theory; return to Kohut's concept of selfobject relationships, with
special attention to the separate subjective and intersubjective
components of selfobject experiences; and develop one of Kohut's
early ideas into a theory of "forward edge" transferences that
strengthen normal self-development. In all, Volume 18 is a richly
insightful progress report on the current status of self psychology
and a fitting capstone to Arnold Goldberg's distinguished tenure as
editor of the Progress in Self Psychology series.
