Originally published in 1983 Reflections on Self Psychology records
the development of a powerful initiative to alter psychoanalytic
theory and practice, and an evaluative questioning of this
initiative. It presents a dialogue that developed at the Boston
Symposium of 1980 between vigorous proponents of self psychology,
equally energetic critics, and many participants between these
polar positions. This book attempts to capture within its pages not
only the content of what was presented, explored, and evaluated in
Boston, but also a sense of the people, about 1,000 strong, who
exchanged their ideas on and off the podium - and the remarkable
spirit of open inquiry that invigorated these proceedings. The
book, as was the meeting, is organized to explore four subjects:
the development of the self: infant research; the implications of
self psychology for psychoanalytic practice; self psychology and
psychotherapy; and the implications of self psychology for
psychoanalytic theory. The final section of the book is devoted to
an essay by Heinz Kohut that provides an integrated response to the
issues and criticisms raised in the course of the symposium. This
essay while based on extemporaneous responses by Kohut during
different phases of the meeting, is, in its written version, a
cohesive, carefully revised, and edited statement prepared in the
mellowing period following the meeting and before Kohut's untimely
death.
When the late Heinz Kohut defined psychoanalysis as the science of
empathy and introspection, he sparked a debate that has animated
psychoanalytic discourse ever since. What is the relationship of
empathy to psychoanalysis? Is it a constituent of analytical
technique, an integral aspect of the therapeutic action of
analysis, or simply a metaphor for a mode of observation better
understood via 'classical' theory and terminology? The dialogue
about empathy, which is really a dialogue about the nature of the
analytic process, continues in this two-volume set, originally
published in 1984. In Volume I, several illuminating attempts to
define empathy are followed by Kohut's essay, 'Introspection,
Empathy, and the Semicircle of Mental Health.' Kohut's paper, in
turn, ushers in a series of original contributions on 'Empathy as a
Perspective in Psychoanalysis.' The volume ends with five papers
which strive to demarcate an empathic approach to various areas of
artistic endeavour, including the appreciation of visual art.
Volume II continues the dialogue with a series of developmental
studies which explore the role of empathy in early child care at
the same time as they chart the emergence of the young child's
capacity to empathize. In the concluding section, 'Empathy in
Psychoanalytic Work,' contributors and discussants return to the
arena of technique. They not only theorize about empathy in
relation to analytic understanding and communication, but address
issues of nosology, considering how the empathic vantage point may
be utilized in the treatment of patients with borderline and
schizophrenic pathology. In their critical attention to the many
dimensions of empathy - philosophical, developmental, therapeutic,
artistic - the contributors collectively bear witness to the fact
that Kohut has helped to shape new questions, but not set limits to
the search for answers. The product of their efforts is an
anatomical exploration of a topic whose relevance for
psychoanalysis and psychotherapy is only beginning to be
understood.

The World Library of Mental Health celebrates the important
contributions to mental health made by leading experts in their
individual fields. Each author has compiled a career-long
collection of what they consider to be their finest pieces:
extracts from books, journals, articles, major theoretical and
practical contributions, and salient research findings. Leading
psychoanalyst Joseph D. Lichtenberg is one of the most experienced
and best respected psychoanalysts working in the US at present. In
A Developmentalist's Approach to Research, Theory, and Therapy, he
provides the reader with an opportunity to track the development of
his conceptions in three realms of psychoanalysis: Infant studies
and developmentalist perspectives on the life cycle Theoretical
contributions to self-psychology Motivational clinical
contributions Joseph Lichtenberg is a hugely influential name
within US Psychoanalysis circles; this is the first collection of
the seminal papers from his very long and distinguished career.
In psychoanalysis, enlivenment is seen as residing in a sense of
self, and this sense of self is drawn from and shaped by lived
experience. Enlivening the Self: The First Year, Clinical
Enrichment, and the Wandering Mind describes the vitalizing and
enrichment of self-experience throughout the life cycle and shows
how active experience draws on many fundamental functional
capacities, and these capacities come together in support of
systems of motivation; that is, organized dynamic grouping of
affects, intentions, and goals. The book is divided into three
essays: Infancy - Joseph Lichtenberg presents extensive reviews of
observation and research on the first year of life. Based on these
reviews, he delineates twelve foundational qualities and capacities
of the self as a doer doing, initiating and responding, activating
and taking in. Exploratory therapy - James L. Fosshage looks where
therapeutic change is entwined with development. There are many
sources illustrated for enhancing the sense of self, and Frank M.
Lachmann pays particular attention to humor and to the role that
the twelve qualities and capacities play in the therapeutic
process. The wandering mind - Frank M. Lachmann covers the
neuroscience and observation that "mind wandering" is related to
the immediacy of the sense of self linking now with past and
future. Throughout the book the authors' arguments are illustrated
with rich clinical vignettes and suggestions for clinical practice.
This title will be a must for psychoanalysts, including trainees in
psychoanalysis, psychiatry residents and candidates at
psychoanalytic institutes and also graduate students in clinical
and counselling psychology programs.
