Abstract

T his is the second of the journal’s two special issues sampling highlights of the proceedings of the International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology’s 2014 International Conference in Jerusalem. The conference theme was “Where Do We Feel at Home? Perspectives on Belonging and Not Belonging.” Although a division between the two issues may appear arbitrary, since the themes in both overlap, it would not be inaccurate to say that the preceding issue had a stronger focus on the explorations of the concepts of “home” or “feeling at home,” with an accent on its complex meanings and manifold consequences in the unique context of the conference—Israel and its environs. This current issue explores the theme of “belonging and not belonging” in various experiences and understandings that are less connected to location and more to specific personal and therapeutic issues. The first two articles, by Maxwell S. Sucharov and Margy Sperry, respectively, aim at developing and applying theoretical conceptualizations for both authors’ autobiographical experiences. Maxwell Sucharov uses a complexity sensibility, narrative theory, and unconscious narrative to explore his historical cultural situatedness and its influence on his personal and analytic identity. He demonstrates how trauma-informed personal histories may cause the creation of rigid narratives that ignore complexity, reduce the other to debasing stereotypes, and prevent any constructive dialogue. Sucharov aspires to change and maintain an alternative historical cultural narrative, one that is more complex, humane, and deeply respectful to and responsible for the other. In his clinical vignette, he soberly reminds us that the effects of historical, cultural trauma are deeply rooted and never fully transformed. Their presence continues to lurk below, ready to surface at times of fear and vulnerability. Like Sucharov, Margy Sperry reminds us that our experience is situated in specific sociocultural and political contexts that shape our knowledge as well as our lack thereof,
《何处有家的感觉?》特刊简介“归属与不归属的视角”,第2部分
这是该杂志两期特刊中的第二期,精选了2014年在耶路撒冷举行的国际精神分析自我心理学协会国际会议的会议记录。会议的主题是“我们在哪里有家的感觉?”关于归属和不归属的观点。”虽然这两个议题之间的划分似乎是武断的,因为两者的主题都是重叠的,但说前一个议题更侧重于探索“家”或“家的感觉”的概念,并强调其在会议的独特背景下的复杂含义和多重后果——以色列及其周边地区——是不准确的。本期杂志探讨了在不同的经历和理解中“归属与不归属”的主题,这些经历和理解与地点的联系较少,而更多地与具体的个人和治疗问题有关。前两篇文章分别由麦克斯韦·s·苏恰罗夫和玛吉·斯佩里撰写,旨在为两位作者的自传体经历发展和应用理论概念。麦克斯韦尔·苏恰洛夫运用复杂感性、叙事理论和无意识叙事来探讨他的历史文化情境及其对他个人身份和分析身份的影响。他展示了受创伤影响的个人历史可能会导致刻板叙述的产生,这种叙述忽视了复杂性,将对方贬低为贬低的刻板印象,并阻止任何建设性的对话。Sucharov渴望改变和维持另一种历史文化叙事,一种更复杂、更人道、对另一种文化深刻尊重和负责的叙事。在他的临床小品中,他冷静地提醒我们,历史和文化创伤的影响是根深蒂固的,永远不会完全改变。他们的存在继续潜伏在下面,准备在恐惧和脆弱的时候浮出水面。像Sucharov一样,Margy Sperry提醒我们,我们的经验是建立在特定的社会文化和政治背景下的,这些背景塑造了我们的知识,也塑造了我们对知识的缺乏,
