{"title":"The self as erotic striving","authors":"John Hanwell Riker","doi":"10.1080/24720038.2023.2278775","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/24720038.2023.2278775","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn this paper I show that the “narcissistic libido’ out of which the self emerges is best conceived as de-sexualized eros, for this is the kind of energy that can love ideals, love ourselves (self-esteem), and love connecting with others (selfobjects). I draw upon Plato and the late Freud to amplify how seeing the self’s energy as eros allows us to understand the self as daimonic, aesthetic, and developmental—a striving to attain evermore complex versions of itself. Eros is also an “experience-near” way to conceive of the self’s energy, as we immediately know when we are feeling intensely erotic about an activity, another person, a work of art, etc. I will further show how eros can be transformed into sexualization and narcissistic rage when the self is traumatized, thereby explaining why selves have these two kinds of by-products when traumatically injured. Conceiving of the self’s energy as eros gives us an important way to come to know our selves: we are what we love.KEYWORDS: ErosKohutnarcissismPlatoself psychologysexualization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Quoted by Lear (Citation2005, p. 196). Note that while Freud adopts Plato’s notion of eros as longing to unite with wider forms of connectedness and its seeking of harmony, he does not follow Plato into his mystical realms. That is, he does not think that eros is only fully satisfied when united with the eternal, ethereal form of Beauty.2 See Jane Ellen Harrison’s Themis (Citation1912/2010) for an account of who the daimones were in ancient Greek ritual practices that existed before the invention of the polis.3 For a full development of this Freud/Kohut comparison, see Riker (Citation2017), ch. 4.4 Plotinus in the Hellenistic Age and Ficino in the Florentine Renaissance were two philosophers for whom the Symposium was crucial, and both these philosophers deeply influenced their ages and subsequent epochs.5 Also see chapter 6 of Strozier, et. al.’s The New World of Self.6 Eros has a number of doppelgängers, including infatuation and mania. See Ch. 5 of Riker’s Exploring the Life of the Soul for an exploration of these erotic look-alikes.Additional informationNotes on contributorsJohn Hanwell RikerJohn H.

It asks how these hidden self-states can find the light of day and suggests that one way is through fictional creative writing. The author shares a piece of fictional writing in which an elusive character—Isobel—appears. This ethereal and fictional manifestation occurs in the context of excruciatingly painful relational experiences in which the narrator describes repetitive and painful struggles for transformation. Speculative attempts to understand the meaning of the fictional material reveal an emerging forward edge and a fledgling sense of agency. But more. It elaborates how the creative writing process offers a different kind of lens through which to locate, elaborate, see, experience and be empathic with our own and, by extension, with our patients’ hidden self-states.KEYWORDS: Agencyalter-ego selfobject experiencefictional creative writingforward edgehidden self states AcknowledgmentsI would like to thank the members of my writing groups whose presence and comments—editorial and otherwise helped this piece of writing: Sarah Mendelsohn, Heather Ferguson, Jan Chess, Dan Perlitz, Margy Sperry, Chole Thata and Carolyn Hart.

It involves a dialogue between different facets within myself and between me and you, the reader, which has emerged in the “traumatic world that people existentially share with, and hide from themselves and each other” (Togashi & Kottler, Citation2021).Additional informationNotes on contributorsAmanda KottlerAmanda Kottler, M.A. (Clin.

The process of achieving and communicating empathic understanding, however, is complex and multiply determined. Understanding on a theoretical level the rationale for employing an empathic mode of observation and response does not necessarily mean that one knows how to do so effectively. To help bridge this gap between theory and practice, the author offers a series of concrete, experience-near suggestions or principles for enhancing empathic understanding and responsiveness. Starting with Kohut, several writers have stated their belief that empathic resonance is a skill that can be developed through training and learning. The author references these previous efforts and adds to them here by defining several choice points and subtleties of how we respond that can make empathic communication more effective. These suggestions emerged from the process of training and supervising mental health professionals in all disciplines and thus are presented as a resource not only for clinicians, but also for teachers and supervisors.KEYWORDS: Empathic communicationforward edgeorganizing principlessubjective experienceteaching empathysupervision Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 More detailed reports of the use of self psychology theory in short term treatment can be found in Gardner (Citation1991, Citation1999).2 Descriptions of additional procedures by which other authors have described how non-verbal, bodily sensation and posture can facilitate empathic understanding and communication can be found in the work of Brothers and Sletvold (Citation2022, Citation2023) and Nebbiosi and Federici (Citation2022).3 At the time Miller’s article was published, homosexuality was still considered pathological and was included as a diagnosis in the DSM. There has been considerable criticism of Miller’s understanding and treatment of homosexuality from our contemporary perspective. Nevertheless, I believe that much of his article remains valuable for its informative examples of how Kohut understood the concept of responding to the forward edge. For a contemporary perspective on the homoerotic aspects of Jule Miller’s case, see Janna Sandmeyer (Citation2019).4 An extended discussion of this case can be found in Gardner (Citation2020).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJill GardnerJill Gardner, Ph.D. is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Chicago, Illinois.

This analyst-patient relationship inspired Heather to make essential changes in her lifestyle. These changes were curative for both the analyst and the patient. The discussion highlights three main issues. The first is leaps from the analytic frame, Different forms of leaps, starting with those defined by Freud and continuing with current analysts, demonstrate various modifications of the frame. The second issue is the question of who is responsible for the transformation of trauma. When the analyst remains faithful to her ideals, she can be inspired by a vast range of idealized selfobjects, human and nonhuman. The perception of an idealized selfobject is neither dependent on external conditions nor on actual actions. The patient can then expand her mind in a similar way. The third issue focuses on the expansion of the scope of selfobject experiences in times of turbulence and stress. We may consider that in such times the mind can be inspired by the selfobject function of nature, art, imagination and virtual possibilities. In our times, universality and interconnectedness fulfill a major role in informing our lives. Our minds are constituted by a global ecology that shapes our subjectivity.KEYWORDS: Countertransferencecovidexpansion of the mindidealized nonhuman selfobjectsleaps from frame Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 First page of a letter from Sigmund Freud to Carl Jung during his holiday to Italy with Ferenczi, 24 September 1910.

Often a worded response (as opposed to an embodied registration, a facial expression or verbal pause or accent, for example), can feel to those we work with as robbing them of the power of their efforts in treatment that we are witnessing and trying to recognize. The worded response can feel like a usurpation of agency serving the narcissistic needs of the analyst over those of the patient.

She writes about her understanding of the symptoms, how she bore the accompanying anxiety, and what the mutative forces were that led to the patient relinquishing the symptom and progressing forward. Mutative factors included the creation of a relational home, ongoing awareness of forward edge meanings of the patient’s behaviors (including the potentially lethal symptom) and the establishment of deep mutual trust, both generally and specifically in the patient’s capacity to know what he needed in order to grow. These factors helped the patient integrate his sense of shame and self-loathing. The therapist’s deep trust in the patient’s sense of what he needed as she guided the treatment deepened the bond between them and created the paradoxical sense of both intensity and calm that the patient longed for. This paper details dreams that illustrate the nature of the therapeutic relationship and the patient’s internal experience. The therapist details her own experience in the co-transference in this highly charged case. Overall, this paper will help therapists to recognize, connect with, and protect traumatized patients, while not being distracted by the frightening symptoms themselves.KEYWORDS: Forward edgeheightened affective momentlethal symptomsrelational homesustained empathic immersiontrauma Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsDenise R.
