Steven’s discussion opens what I consider to be a crucial discourse not only in self psychology, but also in contemporary psychoanalysis in general. In my view, the evolution of self psychology has resulted in two separate but intertwining themes: The value and limits of the concept of the selfobject and the relationship between conceptualization and the concrete experience of psychoanalysis. Although I only explicitly addressed the former in my article, Steven adroitly noted that I am implicitly raising the question of how one uses theory in psychoanalysis without “draining psychoanalytic work of its vital character.” These are both important questions, but they should not be conflated. The purpose of the article is to consider the development of empathy in the analytic process and to assess whether limiting the transference to any of the varieties of “selfobject” experience can result in the ability to be empathic. Included in that concern is the issue Steven raised as to what type of concept is most appropriate for psychoanalysis. Steven and I are in agreement that any notion of the analyst as function is to wiped off the analytic slate. However, for me that is only the start. Of course I agree with Steven that we should be careful to use concepts that retain the life blood of the emotional sturm und drang that we call psychoanalysis. And that was a leitmotif in my article. But, I want to say more than that. The deeper issue is whether seeing the transference solely through the lens of the selfobject conceptualization limits the analytic aim of developing empathy. Because the selfobject is never a person with her own experience, the patient does not make contact with the analyst’s mind and, therefore, the move to empathy is problematic. So, I am concerned not only with avoiding rarefied conceptualizations that Kohut termed “experience distant,” but also, and more importantly in this article,","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2014.917466","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60007136","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}

At any moment of use, a substance can have emotion-regulating qualities and may even appear to be a symbolic substitute for a person or a function (a theory at the heart of the self-psychological approach to compulsive substance use). However, addiction—as opposed to use—is a state that happens over time and represents a loss of choice. It is my belief that far from being a symbolic act, addiction is an anti-symbolic state, plucking an individual from a narrative mode of being, which requires a human context and a broad, dynamic sense of time, to a conditioned mode or a somatic feedback mode, which relies largely on positive and negative reinforcement and tends to narrow temporal horizons. A tenet of this article is that a rigidly narrow subjective sense of time, what I call “low temporal bandwidth,” is the most prominent feature in a person’s vulnerability to addiction, a feature linked to a conditioned mode of being, as opposed to a narrative mode. This article traces some of the early relational pathways to low temporal bandwidth and explores how a new human context in therapy, centered on the elaboration of emotional states into narratives, can allow for more flexible, dynamic temporal bandwidth that often dramatically loosens the pull of addiction.","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2014.917468","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60007261","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}

The Bonds of Empathy: Beyond the Selfobject Concept 共情的纽带:超越自我客体概念

It is argued that Odysseus’ decision cannot be accounted for within the framework of a selfobject conceptualization. By using Odysseus’ decision as a signature indicator of the healthy self, Kohut went beyond the selfobject in defining mental health, albeit without an explicit acknowledgement of so doing. The thesis of this paper is that Odysseus was empathic with his son, and such empathy is inextricably linked to the development of self. Empathy being a goal of a self psychological analysis, it follows that there is a gap between such an aim and the use of the concept of the selfobject as the crux of therapeutic action. If transferences are limited to their selfobject forms, conceptual tools are lacking for the development of empathy because selfobjects are not experienced as subjects of experience. Because capacity for empathy requires making contact with the analyst’s subjectivity, analysis must go beyond the selfobject transferences to achieve the goal of developing the capacity for empathy. The clinical implications of this view are drawn out and illustrated with the analysis of a depressed man.","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2014.917464","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60007303","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}

How might the analyst nurture an experience of emotional connection while also respecting the patient’s sense of agency in how she might need to regulate that experience? In the foregoing articles, Steven Stern describes how a sense of connectedness was struggled with, how it emerged, and how it was transformed between him and his patient Linda. Discussants David Wallin and Donna M. Orange offer alternate views of the challenges that Stern and Linda faced, suggesting different clinical paths. This epilogue compares and contrasts their formulations. First, how might we understand the trajectory of Stern and Linda’s relationship? In particular, how might we understand Stern’s formulation that his patient was “connection-resistant?” Did she resist connection, or was she trying to ward off the sense of weakness and vulnerability that she expected would accompany it? In his reply, Stern formulates that Linda sought not only a sense of connectedness, but also a sense of personal power. That she stayed nine years with Stern and nine with the analyst before him suggests that she is good at connection, but perhaps not the intensity or consistency of connectedness that Stern assessed she needed and that he wanted to provide. What in their relationship might have made it difficult for him to feel connected to her? On the first day of treatment, Linda said, “I want someone who can hold my feet to the fire. I can be controlling and slippery” (Stern, this issue, p. 180). This metaphoric statement captures much of the complexity and challenge inherent in this case. It conveys Linda’s experience in sustaining connection through being controlling and slippery while also conveying her desire to give up this controlling-slippery strategy. Her statement reflects the confidence she already has in her new therapist, that he might engage in","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2014.917463","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60006679","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}

Orange, and David Wallin address the clinical challenge of working with patients with whom the analyst finds it difficult to connect. These articles were originally presented as a plenary session at the 2013 International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology Conference in Chicago. Inspired by the conference theme of “Forms and Transformations of Connectedness,” Stern envisioned and organized this panel, titling it “Reaching the Difficult-to-Connect-With Patient.” At the conference, there emerged a vigorous discussion among the panelists, and between the panelists and the audience. The spirit behind this publication is to extend that dialogue. In addition to the three articles presented at the plenary, this set of articles includes a new reply by Stern to the two discussants. In the first article, Stern presents his nine-year treatment of a woman, Linda, whom he formulates as resistant to the kind of deep connection that he believed necessary for her to accomplish what she was seeking in treatment. She told him, “I want to feel vulnerable and connected” but warned she could be “controlling and slippery.” Stern responded to her plea that he should hold her “feet to the fire” and not let her slip away. They engaged in a struggle and, ultimately, an affective bond emerged when Stern least anticipated it. His open account of the clinical process provides the basis for thoughtful and engaging discussion.","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2014.917457","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60007048","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}
