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.
