The therapist optimally expands her listening perspective to include implicit communications of bodily experience in order to deepen the empathic process and create new therapeutic opportunity. Principles from infant research, neurobiology, progressive establishment of a collaborative, contingent dialogue and sustaining an intention unfolding process inform the integrative approach illustrated in this paper. Psychoanalysis is a process of learning by doing a multimodal fitting together process through dialogue that is continuously implicit and intermittently verbal. The analyst must actively facilitate and scaffold implicit and explicit dialogue with the goal of fitting together and creating new experience.KEYWORDS: Collaborative contingent dialoguedyadic expansion of consciousnessfitting togetherforms of vitalityimplicit domainintention unfolding process Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsScott M.

{"title":"Toward a queered psychology of the self: Empathy and passability from the margins to the center","authors":"Sam Guzzardi","doi":"10.1080/24720038.2023.2251545","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/24720038.2023.2251545","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTBeginning with Kohut’s classic 1959 paper on the subject, empathy has been conceptualized as a process of finding something in one’s self (introspection) that has resonance with one’s experience of the other. This paper, inspired by advances in queer studies, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the Black American theater, identifies the limitations of this understanding. By putting Kohut’s ideas about empathy in dialogue with French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard, Black American playwrights Jeremy O. Harris, Michael R. Jackson, and James Ijames, and the author’s own clinical experience, a queered empathy is theorized that relies less on self-reference and more on passability. The theoretical and clinical implications of this shift are explored, and the possibilities for a queered Psychology of the Self that contain a heightened possibility for responsiveness to marginalized experience are suggested. The hope of this paper is that the reader, from a multidisciplinary perspective, will be inspired to imagine a psychoanalysis and Self Psychology for all that has the potential to flourish for generations to come.KEYWORDS: EmpathyKohutLGBTpassabilityqueerSelf-Psychology AcknowledgmentsI would like to thank Willa France for her thoughtfulness and attention to the ideas in this article, and for her support more broadly for the intentions behind this project.

{"title":"Discussion of “Getting beyond ourselves: The transformative potential of awe” by Margy Sperry","authors":"Maxwell S. Sucharov","doi":"10.1080/24720038.2023.2246514","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/24720038.2023.2246514","url":null,"abstract":"Sperry has written a very gripping and timely paper. Furthermore, repeated readings disclosed the paper to be surprisingly complex and multi-layered, a paper that admits to at least two and possibly more discourses. I say surprising because my initial reading brought forth the most surface aspect (by surface I do not mean superficial) a paper that constitutes a coherent and well-organized linear discourse in two parts. In Part One (statement of the problem), Sperry expounds on the tragic realities of climate change, realities that flow from a misguided anthropocentric view, a view that “skips along hand in hand with colonialism, industrialism, and capitalism.” (Sperry, 2023, p. 563) and a view that disconnects us from the other-than-human. Sperry begins with her moving personal encounter with climate change, and how she and many others “flip flop between panic and numb complacency.” Sperry draws on the works of multiple authors who expound on the complexities of climate psychology, a discourse that well explains both why we got to this place and to the collective responses/non-responses that appear to leave us in “hopeless collapse.” Sperry is careful to include herself as complicit in the problem. Sperry then follows with the central question of this paper: “What will motivate us, collectively and individually, to change our attitudes and lifestyles? How do we . . . ‘actively unlearn’ the anthropocentric values that are literally killing us?” (Sperry, 2023, p. 565). This question is followed by a moving personal account of Sperry immersing herself more directly with nature out of which came an emerging sense of wonder for the world around her, a sense that offered a possible pathway out of the above apparent collective impasse. Part Two (Possible solution of the problem): This part constitutes a thorough and welldocumented account of the new science of awe, an experiential state that promises transformative power on how we experience our world, especially the sense of vastness beyond our “small self” reconnecting us to the other-than-human world, perturbing our assumptions and “expands our horizons . . . [challenging] us to actively unlearn anthropocentrism” (Sperry, 2023, p. 567). Sperry’s account of the phenomenology of awe is both gripping and compelling, Sperry ends with an example of a patient experiencing awe in the context of her encounter with the eyes of a giraffe. My initial reading therefore disclosed a clear and straightforward account of the dangers of climate change, its origins in colonialism, individualism, and anthropocentrism, the human phenomenological/psychological response, both collective and individual, a response that appears to lead to impasse, followed by the central question: Is there","PeriodicalId":42308,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalysis Self and Context","volume":"212 1","pages":"578 - 581"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76973149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This response summarizes their experience and focuses on a significant pattern that stands out amongst the many ordeals: the impact of multiple, simultaneous, and cumulative losses which combine, becoming a “complex-context,” a disturbing addition to stress on relational connections. The implications of this are explored along with the way self-experience is affected. These therapists offer poignant glimpses into the difficulties of being a “Relational Home” to patients when both are thrown into a collective tragedy. We in the US, may wish to respond in kinship, in turn becoming their Relational Homes, but we must then in addition to understanding the existential phenomenology that is integral to all human lives, find analogs relevant to their gritty experience: uncertainty about basic survival, ruination of home and other symbolic objects, brutal intrusions including the news of atrocities, and the terrifying destabilization of familiar selfhood. Using an intersubjective-systems theory perspective on working with trauma I offer a possible way that we in the USA can derive analogs from recent American experience.","PeriodicalId":42308,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalysis Self and Context","volume":"34 1","pages":"416 - 426"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90550701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
