#1
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Brita Reed Lucey
In this article, I employ a psychodynamic lens to describe how women's fantasies of time as standing still, which is encouraged by sociocultural forces, is used to undermine the notion of the biological clock. These fantasies, also fueled by the timeless nature of the unconscious, can lead to hesitancy in not only initiating fertility treatment but also in complying with fertility treatment recommendations. When this happens, hesitancy is often unconsciously utilized in a conflict about becoming a mother. Once these hesitancies are worked through in therapy through a focus on previous losses, fertility treatment often moves forward...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Joanne Wieland-Burston
This article presents the findings of an ongoing supervision group (founded in 1999) researching the after-effects of the Nazi period on people in psychotherapy in Germany today. The unacknowledged collective shadow hidden behind half-truths, prevarications, and silence itself prevents a genuine working through of the Nazi past. Patients' lack of knowledge concerning their families' own past leads to unconscious guilt, which often then leads to psychosomatic disturbances. But this is not only a problem in Germany...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Silvia W Olarte
The author shares a personal account of 50 years of experience practicing psychodynamic psychiatry and psychoanalysis after migrating from Argentina to the United States. Her career developed in parallel as a clinician and as an academic psychiatrist, with leadership roles in the American Psychiatric Association, the Association of Women Psychiatrists, and the American Academy of Psychodynamic Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis. After describing what constitutes the essence, substance, and form of psychoanalysis, she reviews the historic shift within psychoanalysis in the United States from intrapsychic dyadic practice with selected patients to the application of psychodynamic concepts to everyday psychiatric care of patients with complex morbidities in multiple clinical settings...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Jeffery Smith
The gold standard of scientific medicine is using knowledge of underlying processes to shape treatment. This has previously not been possible for psychotherapy, but with the science of memory reconsolidation, requirements for change can be more precisely defined and can improve psychotherapeutic technique by focusing on three areas: the activation of maladaptive implicit learning, the provision of disconfirming information, and attention to transmission between consciousness and limbic memory. Overall, better understanding of processes helps liberate psychotherapy from rigidities dictated by set methods...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Edward Ross, César A Alfonso
The authors describe the clinical relevance of the psychiatric concept of bidirectionality when caring for persons with comorbid disorders, and they propose a psychodynamic framework to guide the treatment of persons with vision loss and blindness. Since persons with vision loss have an increased risk of depressive and anxiety disorders, they recommend targeted screening, integrated services, and a biopsychosocial approach to clinical care. The psychoanalytic concept of aphanisis, first described by Ernest Jones and later developed by Lacan and Kohut, is briefly discussed...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Elizabeth L Shapiro
Access to one's healthy aggression is critical for both patient and therapist. On the patient's end, the ability to access and modulate aggression is fundamental to the establishment of healthy self-esteem and the capacity to sustain relationships and pursue life goals. On the therapist's end, access to aggression allows for the setting of a secure therapeutic frame and the subsequent conduct of the deep work of therapy. Conversely, lack of access to aggression creates burdensome and problematic situations that may subvert the treatment...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Richard B Corradi
Erik Erikson gives us a comprehensive psychosocial schema encompassing the life cycle from birth to death. In elucidating key issues at each life stage-the epigenetic crises-he defines important parameters of development that distinguish between the normative and the pathologic. Individuals at any developmental stage can be evaluated with respect to these fundamental milestones.

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Milton Viederman
An approach to a once-weekly, or bimonthly (every second week), ongoing psychodynamic psychotherapy is described. The detailed description of individual sessions is intended to show the process of the uncovering of unconscious phenomena using this approach, though the therapies described are not complete. Important changes that have already occurred are described. The approach is characterized by a direct method of discovery of early painful situations that underlie specific problematic experiences in the present...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Milton Viederman
The purpose of this paper is to focus on an aspect of psychodynamic psychotherapy that includes psychoanalysis to illustrate the important element in the psychotherapeutic relationship called recognition. This involves an emotional sharing with the patient of the importance of particular life experiences that he has had and as such this not only cements the relationship but becomes the substrate of change and an internalization of the therapist that persists after the end of treatment. This interaction parallels the experience with a responsive mother able to echo the infant's experience...

"La Cura" is one of the tracks in Franco Battiato's L'Imboscata album (1996), the 19th published by the Italian composer and songwriter, who died 3 years ago. In the lyrics several references to psychiatric terminology appear. The purpose of this article is to consider the lyrics of the song from psychodynamic and mental health care perspectives and offer associations that reflect the process of forming a therapeutic alliance with patients.

JOURNAL ARTICLE
John G Cottone
This case report details the treatment of a longtime psychodynamic psychotherapy patient, with a particular focus on a ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) session, and how the progress achieved during this session compares with the literature on KAP. The patient is a 54-year-old woman with a history of multiple traumas, including sexual assault and life-threatening physical injuries, as well as a recent diagnosis of primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). For most of her life, she relied on extreme idealization of important people in her life as her primary defense mechanism, helping her to maintain physical and psychological survival...

Indonesia, a country with a vast population of approximately 275 million people on over 17,000 islands, currently has 1,221 psychiatrists nationwide. Psychodynamic psychiatry and psychoanalysis are integral to the practice of psychiatry in Indonesia, primarily because of the charismatic influence of Bachtiar Lubis, who trained in Canada in the early 1960s. Upon his return to Indonesia, Bachtiar Lubis supervised a generation of psychiatrists, including two of this article's authors, who carried on his pedagogical work...

When Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, most people felt helpless, fearful, and demoralized while health care workers put their own lives at risk to support and heal others. The uncertainties expressed by experts and the ambiguous and protracted nature of the pandemic compounded the sense of frustration caused by the scarcity of protective equipment and effective medications. This combination of factors led to exhaustion, burnout, and moral injury. As a result, mental health practitioners worldwide realized that health care staff needed to stay motivated and resilient...

The experience of patient suicide can have a profound impact on clinicians, yet there are limited opportunities for them to express and process their emotional responses. We organized a reflective group session for psychiatrists in Singapore who had encountered patient suicides. Ten psychiatrists participated, with five in the "inner" group (those who had experienced patient suicide) and the remaining five forming the "outer" group. Led by a senior psychiatrist trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, the inner group shared their reflections on patient suicides, while the outer group provided their insights thereafter...

REVIEW
Tomas Lindegaard
Psychedelic substances have a long history of use in traditional healing and religious ceremonies worldwide and are increasingly being investigated for their possible therapeutic usage. However, there is still a lack of consensus regarding how best to characterize the psychological effects of psychedelics and how they bring about the positive therapeutic outcomes observed in clinical studies. The aim of this article is to review available evidence from quantitative and qualitative studies on psychedelic-assisted therapy, as well as neurobiological studies, in relation to the hypothesis that psychedelics facilitate the emergence of emotionally charged unconscious material, originally proposed by pioneering psychedelics researcher Stanislav Grof...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

The concept of pensée opératoire (operational thinking) was introduced by French psychoanalysts in 1963 and a decade later was included as an essential component of the alexithymia construct as formulated by the U.S. analysts John Nemiah and Peter Sifneos. Despite a large body of research on alexithymia, the pensée opératoire component is not well understood, especially among clinicians and researchers who are not familiar with French psychoanalytic literature. In this article we clarify the definition and metapsychological conceptualization of the concept, review findings from some relevant empirical studies, and critique a recent proposal for redefining the alexithymia construct that departs from the original understanding of pensée opératoire...

Psychoanalysis has long lost its historical influence on U.S. academic psychiatry. Psychoanalytic theory, however, provides us with a rich and remarkably comprehensive knowledge of human development, both normative and pathologic. This article describes a psychoanalytic concept that enriches our understanding of the mind and its disorders: Freud's structural hypothesis. This core concept provides a theoretical foundation for understanding the clinical features of both neurotic and personality disorders. It also informs a psychodynamic psychotherapy...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Deborah Lin, Luke Zona, Erin Seery
Over the years, the psychiatric inpatient treatment paradigm has shifted to more brief stays focused on acute stabilization and psychopharmacologic-focused interventions, rather than individual psychotherapeutic engagement. Unfortunately, this has allowed patients with complex interpersonal dynamics, particularly borderline personality disorder, to slip through the cracks of effective treatment. This can contribute to repeated inpatient admissions, where both patients and clinicians feel trapped in a maladaptive, unhelpful cycle...

Several evidence-based psychotherapies for personality disorders have been developed in recent decades, including transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), a contemporary model of psychodynamic psychotherapy developed by Otto Kernberg. Kernberg established Group TFP (TFP-G) as an alternative or adjunct treatment to individual TFP. Although not yet manualized, TFP-G is used in publicly and privately funded mental health services, including outpatient clinics, subacute hospitals, therapeutic inpatient units, partial hospitalization services, and rehabilitation services serving people with borderline personality...
