Resisting adjudication as well as enduring and being enriched by cacophony are among the guiding principles of Greenberg’s vision of comparative psychoanalysis and an explicit focus in his most recent work.

Debate about whether trans childhood exists needs to stop. Such debate is cruel and it is damaging. The sooner we stop entertaining a multiplicity of opinions as to whether trans childhood is of “delusional intensity,” the closer we will be to ending the conversion practices Gender Dysphoria licenses, if not models—and the closer we will be to exploring how to work with trans children rather than against them. Lest “conversion therapy” sounds excessive, ask yourselves this: if, as the Evanses advocate, we see childhood transness as an epidemic in need of explanation, containment, and treatment, what will stop us from seeing trans adults as grown-ups who didn’t get “good” (i.e., gender-corrective) therapy? It’s not hard to see where the Evanses’s and Bell’s positions lead: to the eradication of transness overall. The Evanses dedicate their letter to protesting the Journal’s choice of me as reviewer and the title of my essay. My position, they write, demonstrates “significant bias” because I am “unable to hold... complexities.” But my saying that there is nothing psychoanalytic about conversion therapy is neither an idiosyncratic nor a fringe position: it is literally the position adopted by the IPA itself. “Psychoanalytic technique,” the IPA’s position statement reads, “does not encompass purposeful attempts to convert or change an individual’s sexual","PeriodicalId":46869,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalytic Quarterly","volume":"91 3","pages":"601-604"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40672552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This surprised me as he had not published anything for some years, and I was unaware that he had been working on anything new. Finding a memoir in that envelope multiplied my surprise many times over. Charles Brenner was one of the last people I expected to write about himself. In the more than half century in which I worked with him and shared a warm friendship, I never heard him spontaneously utter a word about his private life. And, if asked directly about any part of it—a rare occurrence as all who knew him understood his reticence to speak about anything personal—his answer would be brief and nonspecific. He would share a general statement such as “things are fine” or “the family is doing well,” but nothing more than that.

The conversation covers a wide array of Bolognini’s important and creative contributions, while it concurrently puts him in dialogue with contemporary colleagues, positioning him in relation to some of the most pressing controversies now engaging psychoanalytic scholarship and practice. In particular, I am referring to what some have referred to as an emerging paradigm change, characterized by a move from the epistemological to the ontological in psychoanalysis, one in which the how, the experience, the withness of the analyst in sharing the patient’s inner world and suffering has taken center stage in discussions of therapeutic action. One of the most salient characteristics of Bolognini’s thinking, both in this conversation and elsewhere in his writings, is its quintessentially integrative nature, drawing from and making use of virtually every major psychoanalytic theory, in several languages and multiple geographical locations, while tactfully calling out the pitfalls of an overreliance on any single theory or model scene.

Goldberg for his thoughtful and stimulating discussion of the conversation I had with Dr. Stefano Bolognini. In particular, I will focus on the last section of Goldberg’s remarks, “Controversy—Toward a New Paradigm?” in which he queries me directly. In the course of more than a century of psychoanalysis, we have witnessed a multiplication of theories, schools, models, and techniques. Our discipline proceeds by juxtaposition rather than by objective verification, as others do. Concepts and models are hardly ever disavowed; instead, they fall into disuse—only to be taken up again at other times, perhaps, and in other parts of the world. So why did I “hound” Bolognini with a series of questions regarding a new paradigm? Because in all the world’s cuisines, salt and sugar are used; no cooking tradition exists without one or the other of these ingredients. It is the different amounts used that guarantee an infinite variety of dishes around the world. Understanding and experience, Goldberg argues, should not be too sharply polarized, but inevitably they are blended by different analysts and analytic traditions in ways that make the transcripts of sessions quite different, to the point that we wonder to what extent the same work is being done.
