In her treatment with Joseph Breuer, Pappenheim invented what she called “Chimney-sweeping,” the procedure of tracing a symptom back to its origins using free association. After her treatment and several subsequent hospitalizations, Pappenheim went on to become a pioneer of German-Jewish social work, a leading feminist, campaigner for women’s rights, and protector of unwed mothers and orphans. I have obtained multiple documents that reveal aspects of her life that have been unappreciated. She was cured not just by her psychoanalytic treatment, but also by realizing her intellectual gifts via her writing and by changing the society that was making her ill. In these ways, she resembled Harry Stack Sullivan, the founder of interpersonal psychoanalysis. Both faced a major crisis in late adolescence and went on to create environments that insulated victims of prejudice and allowed them to flourish.","PeriodicalId":46058,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Psychoanalysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44265039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paul and his wife Fran have been not just family, but warm and generous family. There aren’t too many people, including good friends, one can feel free to call and say, “I want to come to Stockbridge and spend a few days with you,” and invariably receive “Of course” as a reply. It is difficult for me to write about Paul in any context other than that of a deep and loving friendship. So, I will write about Paul the person, the dear friend, more than Paul the author and psychoanalyst—although, of course, they are intertwined. I live in California. Therefore, much of our contact was by phone. During the last year of Paul’s life we spoke on the phone about three or four times a week. During that time, Paul’s remarkable courage in facing his deadly illness was matched by his continuing and undiminished zest for life. Although he did not deny death, he did not wait around for it. Virtually every time we spoke Paul would excitedly tell me about some new stimulating book or article he was reading or some interesting ideas with which he was playing. He was always enthusiastic and excited about something. Our conversations were not mainly about his illness and treatment. After Paul brought me up to date on these matters, we went on to talk about many things: ideas, projects, the latest joke, family news, and we engaged in playful zaniness. Playful. That is certainly a word that characterized Paul. If playfulness is a mark of a good life—and I think it is—Paul certainly knew how to lead a good life. I think Paul’s success as a therapist was, at least in part, attributable to his natural ability to be playful, to the freedom of his imagination.","PeriodicalId":46058,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Psychoanalysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46925444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, we focus on the question of exhibitionism. First, we describe our therapeutic setting: a psychoanalytic psychodrama group. Then we study the case of Fernand, an exhibitionist. The treatment revealed that Fernand was desperately seeking attention: from others, thanks to his professional skills as a repairman but also and especially, in a transgressive way, through his exhibitionism. We show how exhibitionism can condense, externalize, and project on to others, the enigmas of sex and generational differences. We then examine whether psychodrama is a tool that can be used to illuminate Fernand’s fantasies hidden behind his exhibitionist act. Finally, we wonder to what extent providing patients with the opportunity to play out their own story in a therapy, using their own body under the scrutiny of others, may help the exhibitionist to see themself in their own complexity.","PeriodicalId":46058,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Psychoanalysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45848321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
