AbstractIn this piece I discuss the early years of Psychoanalytic Perspectives; how the first issues of the Journal were organized; the origins of the Creative Literary Section; my work on “Notes from the Creative Literary Editor” in every issue; calls to the worldwide psychoanalytic community for poetry and stories from the creative unconscious; and summaries of topics for the section such as “From Painting into Words,” “From One Unconscious to Another,” “People in Analysis,” “Mothers of the Milky Way,” “Dreams as Poetry,” “The Art of Thomas Ogden,” “Letters to Dearest Mother from Famous Writers,” “D.W. Winnicott: The Unexpected Poet,” and “Creativity and Madness.”Keywords: creativitycreativity in psychoanalysisdreamsimagerypoetryunconscious Additional informationNotes on contributorsBonnie ZindelBonnie Zindel, LCSW, is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York, and a supervisor, faculty, and training analyst at National Institute for the Psychotherapies (NIP).

R. Kabasakalian-McKay
In response to Eric Schwartz’s creative and timely paper, this discussion focuses on three points: First, that analytic patients of this social and cultural moment call upon us to reformulate even relatively recent understandings of—to use Stephen Mitchell’s phrase—“what the patient needs,” agreeing with Schwartz that contemporary analytic subjects are liable to be much more deeply and consistently troubled by the social realm and their places within it. Second, the concept of implication is put forward here as a way to elaborate and deepen our understanding of what is called for in the kind of intersubjective meeting that Schwartz illustrates. Third, this discussion takes up some additional considerations in applying Schwartz’s proposed adaptation of a Fairbairnian model in understanding the role of ideology in psychic structuring; concluding that in acknowledging subtle, multiple, and conflicting feelings and attachments in ourselves, we may inhabit our complex implication in ways that further the kind of responsive intersubjective engagement that our patients and our moment ask of us.

Rachel Altstein, K. Perlman
On the 20th anniversary of Psychoanalytic Perspectives, Rachel Altstein and Karen Perlman, as Co-Editors-in-Chief, look back to the very first published issues of their journal to find the early seeds of its philosophy and mission that remain at the heart of the current iteration of the publication. They introduce new features that retain the ideology of the old, specifically that of giving voice to analytic writers from the sidelines of psychoanalytic publishing who are not on the traditional roster of frequently published writers. Another new feature, “Second Look,” pairs a current writer with a classic paper for a contemporary rereading, imagining a dialogue across time. The three unique sections of Perspectives that privilege creative writing, memoir, and interview are described, lauded, and committed to anew. Reflecting on what it means to edit, and what it means to edit psychoanalytic papers specifically, Altstein and Perlman also think about the priority of preserving voice and the notion of refraction in the process of an editorial interaction with texts.

E. Schwartz
This paper considers the developmental implications of being subjected to macro social, cultural, political, and economic systems. Drawing from social and critical theory, the author proposes an object tie to the broader social dimension. When this tie is threatened by harsh social realities, there is an attempt to protect it through the activation of internalized ideological schema. Clinical examples are provided to demonstrate how patients and therapists bring ideology into the treatment room, and how the application of an “ideological lens” may move beyond interpersonal transference dynamics to facilitate the reorganization of “social object” relationships.

The author, Submissions Editor of Psychoanalytic Perspectives for the past five years, surveys the several reasons he likes reading analytic writing as much as he does. He cites its usefulness as psychoanalytic companion, psychoanalytic supervisor, and midwife of an aliveness that is its own reward.
