Here, two young prodigies, David Helfgott, the pianist, and Nina, the fictional ballerina, portray a vulnerable idealizing selfobject transference between father and son and a crippling merger/twinship selfobject transference between mother and daughter. Furthermore, the films demonstrate how the two young artists serve as potent stabilizing influences for each of their same sex parents. An intrinsic maturational need in each young artist is vividly thwarted by the bound up nexus of each parent and child dyad. After comparing and contrasting the two films and the psychotic fragmentation which evolves, we postulate what environmental supports and what selfobject experiences are necessary for the child caught in this kind of psychological configuration to survive into adulthood.","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2016.1107413","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60010215","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}

Some books of this kind, which have been important to me, are E.B. White’s Elements of Style, Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird, and Natalie Goldberg’s Writing down the Bones. All of these writers dispute—and in their writings belie—the notion that words are cheap and can never capture the depth of human experience. Now I’ve added Suzi Naiburg’s Structure and Spontaneity in Clinical Prose to this group and am about to write it a rave review. What makes Naiburg’s book special is that she is not only a writer and writing teacher, who loves reading and writing, but she’s also a psychoanalyst who knows our particular field and literature well. It seems that she’s read and absorbed everything. Moreover, she has a deep and detailed understanding of good analytic writing—its structures and stylistic modalities—which she beautifully expresses, illustrates, and makes accessible to her readers. She even provides exercises that promote lively and conscious prose, prose that accurately reflects who we are and what we want to say. Because Naiburg has directed this book particularly to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists—a group responsible for spectacularly arid and turgid literature—she explicates with nuanced understanding how clinicians can relive and vividly capture their experiences in writing. And strewn throughout the book are excellent analytic writing samples as well as follow-up exercises. Thus, we can profitably use what she has","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2016.1107426","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60010551","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 conference theme was “Where Do We Feel at Home? Perspectives on Belonging and Not Belonging.” Although a division between the two issues may appear arbitrary, since the themes in both overlap, it would not be inaccurate to say that the preceding issue had a stronger focus on the explorations of the concepts of “home” or “feeling at home,” with an accent on its complex meanings and manifold consequences in the unique context of the conference—Israel and its environs. This current issue explores the theme of “belonging and not belonging” in various experiences and understandings that are less connected to location and more to specific personal and therapeutic issues. The first two articles, by Maxwell S. Sucharov and Margy Sperry, respectively, aim at developing and applying theoretical conceptualizations for both authors’ autobiographical experiences. Maxwell Sucharov uses a complexity sensibility, narrative theory, and unconscious narrative to explore his historical cultural situatedness and its influence on his personal and analytic identity. He demonstrates how trauma-informed personal histories may cause the creation of rigid narratives that ignore complexity, reduce the other to debasing stereotypes, and prevent any constructive dialogue. Sucharov aspires to change and maintain an alternative historical cultural narrative, one that is more complex, humane, and deeply respectful to and responsible for the other. In his clinical vignette, he soberly reminds us that the effects of historical, cultural trauma are deeply rooted and never fully transformed. Their presence continues to lurk below, ready to surface at times of fear and vulnerability. Like Sucharov, Margy Sperry reminds us that our experience is situated in specific sociocultural and political contexts that shape our knowledge as well as our lack thereof,","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2015.1073992","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60009184","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}

Special attention is paid to trauma informed historical narratives that drastically reduce complexity and resort to simplistic and binary distinctions. Drawing from autobiographical memories, the author brings a dialogic interpretive lens to his own historical cultural narrative passed down to him as a postwar Diaspora Jew. We come to see that this narrative is soaked with the trauma of the Holocaust, creating a rigid narrative that ignores complexity, reduces the other to debasing stereotypes, and is closed off to dialogue. The author continues with his lifelong dialogic struggle to transform and maintain a historical cultural narrative that is more complex, more humane, and embodies a deep respect and responsibility for the other, a transformation inseparable from his psychoanalytic growth. The author concludes with a clinical vignette that serves as a sober reminder that the wounds of historical cultural trauma run very deep and that the narratives they spawn are never totally transformed. They remain an underground presence as slumbering ghosts, ready to surface at those moments when we feel frightened or vulnerable.","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2015.1073993","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60009826","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}

Seen through the lens of Brandchaft’s conceptualization of “systems of pathological accommodation,” in-depth, clinical vignettes from the analytic journey with her Italian patient, Antonio, illustrate the process by which the emergence of unspeakable traumas, embedded in his mother-tongue language world, bring into the foreground these unforeseen paradoxes. This awareness creates much turbulence in their analytic relationship. Ultimately, however, long-held convictions about their mutual experiences of belonging and not belonging are redefined, and significantly transform their ways-of-being in the world. In conclusion, the analyst describes the emergence of disavowed words and phrases particular to her own history and subsequent realization that paradoxically, none of us is truly monolingual. This in turn, raises questions about why the psychoanalytic world has privileged English: is this is a manifestation of ethnocentricity, or perhaps a means by which we sustain our ties with our psychoanalytic forebears, who, as survivors of the Holocaust, have disavowed horrific, unspeakable memories by silencing their own as well as their patients’ mother tongue?","PeriodicalId":91515,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychoanalytic self psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15551024.2015.1073995","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60009839","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}
