Upcoming "Why Psychoanalysis?"
451 West End Ave., Suite 1J
New York, NY 10024-6200
I have chaired the Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Psychoanalysis & Literary Criticism at APSA since 1984 and I chair the subcommittee on University Forum of the APSA Program Committee for bringing together psychoanalysis and academia. I serve on the Center’s Long Range Planning and Training Analyst Committees.
I have published extensively about difficulties in patient and analyst in their encounter. I have written about feelings, needs, and vulnerabilities in analysts at work. My writing has focused on pathological dependency, sexualization, perversion, schizoid states, narcissism, negativism and hopelessness, and regressive temptations.
