Rudnytsky gives us a detailed account of Ferenczi’s controversial analysis of Elizabeth Severn in what may well be seen as a landmark case in the history of psychoanalysis, comparable to that of Anna O., Dora, and the Wolf Man. Written in a lively, engaging style and citing numerous sources—many of which are unpublished and some of which were inaccessible to scholars until recently—Rudnytsky presents an insightful commentary on the time in which Ferenczi’s bold experiments in psychoanalytic technique and modifications in theory put him at loggerheads with Freud, helping to alter the course of history in the process. The book is divided into three sections, titled “Conceptions,” “Contexts,” and “Consequences,” respectively. In “Conceptions,” Rudnytsky explores the lives of Elizabeth Severn and her daughter Margaret, with frequent references to Elizabeth’s book, The Discovery of the Self (published shortly after the termination of her analysis and Ferenczi’s untimely death in May 1933), and to Margaret’s unpublished letters to her mother. In “Contexts,” he examines the interactions within the small cluster of analysands who congregated around Ferenczi in Budapest, most notably Clara Thompson and Izette de Forest, who helped propagate Ferenczi’s ideas in the United States. In “Consequences,” Rudnytsky presents a detailed critique of the dispute over theory and technique which strained the personal relations between Ferenczi and Freud nearly to the breaking point and","PeriodicalId":46869,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalytic Quarterly","volume":"91 1","pages":"632 - 637"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41761946","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}

Using Freud’s emphasis on the importance of dreams as a form of thinking, the author links the work of Friedman and Weber and extends it in doing a close reading of a specific passage by Freud, showing that the precarious nature of metapsychology is understandable as a form of paradigmatic logic.

Such a renegotiation lends itself to the formation of bastions, as described by Baranger and Baranger (1969); attention to these bastions demonstrates that the psychoanalytic process continues and can deepen. An extended clinical vignette is presented to illustrate. If a more broadly defined functional frame is considered, not only may the frame be used as a clinical tool in a more nuanced way, but in addition, aspects of the traditional narrowly defined frame may be seen to contribute to the formation of bastions that, unaddressed, could impede the analytic process.","PeriodicalId":46869,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalytic Quarterly","volume":"91 1","pages":"63 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41402269","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}

Over the next few months, with the input of my Associate Editors, the project grew to include the many disturbances that stemmed from the precarious political moment, as well as from the pandemic itself. In this issue, we see the first group of thoughtful and incisive papers that resulted. The second group will appear in the April 2022 issue of the Quarterly. Past historical events that surely reverberated through the psychoanalytic community have often failed to find broad expression in the analytic literature. World War II, for example, was represented by only a few articles and book reviews in the Quarterly, exploring wartime stress and fugue states (Fisher 1945; Jones 1945; Ross 1948) and the nature of the propaganda issued by both totalitarian and democratic states (Kris 1943; Saul 1942). And pandemics have been much less written about, in any genre, than wars. In Pale Rider (2017), a study of the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic and its inscription in memory, Spinney observes that, although the so-called Spanish flu killed at least 50,000,000 people across the globe—many more than the number claimed by the First World War— the pandemic has left few testaments in literature or elsewhere, in contrast with the vast literature emanating from the war. Spinney attributes this difference in part to the footprint of each of the events in space and","PeriodicalId":46869,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalytic Quarterly","volume":"91 1","pages":"1 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48827554","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}

The last two chapters are about taking responsibility. Putting Coetzee’s literary work to use, Lear forces both himself and the reader to take responsibility—namely, responsibility for injustice. This involves the moral challenge posed to us in owning racism and inequality, and in refusing any attempts to assign these ignoble qualities to others and thereby absolve ourselves. In short, the essays in Wisdom Won from Illness are delightful, thought provoking, engaging, and, in Lear’s own words, committed to life. As he sets out to share his journey from philosophy to psychoanalysis, he writes, “I began studying Aristotle in my twenties, and what captured my imagination was not only the brilliance of his thinking, but also his commitment for life. He was for it” (p. 3).
