The title of the book is a prelude to multifaceted elaborations on significant changes in psychoanalytic work. Almost overnight, psychoanalysis began to display its resilience, adapting itself to operate under a state of siege imposed by an invisible yet deathly virus. As the title declares, these changes generated a new way of life for psychoanalysis, which continued to go on living in covidian life. Organized in six distinctive parts, Psychoanalysis and the Covidian Life at times appears to be a guide for mental health practitioners working under unusual conditions. It manages to expand the theoretical and technical repertoire needed for processing a traumatizing biological event that affected communities across the globe. The contributors offer a much-needed attempt to conceptualize collective and individual distress, including the social/political context in which the pandemic emerged, its effect on the therapeutic setting and the frame, and the immediacy of the clinical realm. The different chapters of this seminal book weave a rich tapestry of this covidian life. Sixteen psychoanalysts from across the world reflect on a biological event and its aftermath as it impacted theoretical and clinical domains. International perspectives complement each other, resulting in a comprehensive record of practicing psychoanalysis during the last two years.

In this, she follows Bion (see footnote seven)—who “draws our attention to the idea that the unconscious is not [only] an already existing entity, but psychic work enables it” (xvii)—and Freud (1919h)—who argued in The Uncanny that the affect of the unheimlich “exceeds the interpretations, creating an estrangement from the quotidian but in doing so gives words to an experience that is immense and exceeds verbal language” (xvi). Kaul’s discourse weaves dialectically around the uncomfortable, humbling conclusion that the domain of psychoanalysis, which many once believed to be exactly and fully knowable via empirical observation, is now only indicated—i.e., partially intuited and constructed—by unconscious intraand intersubjective processes that help determine the terms within which psychic representations are given shape. Since we may not be able, completely or with certainty, to know the contents of our psyche or that of our patients in regard to the unrepresented and ineffable, we must depend upon psychoanalytic models and theories that can help us to “approach a mental life unmapped by the theories elaborated for the understanding of neurosis” (p. 37, see footnote seven). And we must live our lives—and practice psychoanalysis— between “the inadequacy of language to capture experience and the compulsion to use it” (p. xvi). HOWARD B.

The first of these concerns the place of this concept in psychoanalytic theory and practice, particularly taking note of its limited presence in the psychoanalytic literature of the British School of psychoanalysis. My argument is that the concept and phenomena of identification has been preferred to that of identity in the discourse of British Object Relations and considers why that might be the case. The second issue concerns the salience of the concept of identity in contemporary political and cultural debate, as this has come to denote differences of a socially-constructed kind such as those of race, gender, ethnicity, and religion. In this context, the idea of identity has become an important point of reference in much recent psychoanalytic thinking. The significance of this development will be considered in its relevance for psychoanalytic and wider social practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":46869,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalytic Quarterly","volume":"92 3","pages":"435-461"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138463530","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}
