Over the course of his distinguished career, Edward Weinshel has
been a moral and intellectual force in contemporary psychoanalysis
and an outspoken opponent of current trends in and out of the field
toward dehumanization and deindividualization. Commitment and
Compassion in Psychoanalysis, under the editorship of Robert
Wallerstein, brings together 14 of Weinshel's major papers. The six
clinical papers reprinted in this collection address the
kaleidoscope of common personality organizations and propensities
which, in their extreme variants, motivate individuals to seek
psychoanalytic assistance, covering topics that include "neurotic
equivalents" of necrophilia, negation, lying, "gaslighting"
(brainwashing), perceptual distortion during analysis, and
inconsolability. These clinical expositions are supplemented by
eight theoretical papers in which Weinshel gives expression to the
metapsychological paradigm of ego pyschology as it existed in the
70s and 80s. Four of the papers from the early 70s cover "the ego
in health and normality," the transference neurosis, and various
aspects of the training analysis. The remaining four papers,
published between 1984 and 1992, chronicle Weinshel's notion of
resistence as the clinical unit of the psychoanalytic process, his
elucidation of specifically "psychoanalytic change" as it grows out
of the psychoanalytic process, and his affirmation of modern
conflict theory in the face of theoretical pluralism. Carefully
edited by Robert Wallerstein and including an introductory essay by
Leonard Shengold, Commitment and Compassion in Psychoanalysis
brings to contemporary debates the voice of a principled exemplar
of the psychoanalytic calling. Balancing intellectual acuity with a
profoundly caring temperament, and augmenting respect for the
psychoanalytic tradition with a flair for original ideas, Edward
Weinshel speaks to all who wrestle daily with the burdens,
challenges, and healing promise of the impossible profession.
