Andrew Eig’s “Self-Defeating Aggression and the Need for Rough-and-Tumble Play in an Adult Psychoanalysis” brings to life therapeutic action in the noninterpretive, playful register. In this discussion, I highlight Eig’s creative use of self in dialogue, which serves to downregulate his patient’s protective defensives and overwhelming affect states, while also acknowledging the potential dangers in playful engagement, particularly around race, class, gender, and histories of disenfranchisement. In a spontaneous, embodied moment, Eig engages in movement before a session and accesses a reverie from his wrestling days, creatively discovering an imaginative and empathic link to his patient and their mutual desire for emotional contact. In doing so, he models a sensibility that invites the reader to consider their own personal idioms in adult treatment.
Andrew Eig的《成年人心理分析中的自我挫败攻击和对粗暴和翻滚游戏的需求》以非侵入性的、好玩的方式将治疗行动带到了生活中。在这次讨论中，我强调了Eig在对话中创造性地使用自我，这有助于降低患者的保护性防御和压倒性的情感状态，同时也承认了参与游戏的潜在危险，特别是在种族、阶级、性别和被剥夺选举权的历史方面。在一个自发的、具体化的时刻，Eig在训练前进行了运动，并进入了摔跤时代的遐想，创造性地发现了与他的病人以及他们对情感接触的共同渴望之间富有想象力和同理心的联系。在这样做的过程中，他塑造了一种情感，邀请读者在成人治疗中考虑自己的个人习惯用法。

What does it mean to feel like a hole—to be a hole? This evocative metaphor could represent the ruin of existence that once was, or could refer to something that has never been. Is it a state to be defined, filled, or surrendered to? In the past few decades, the accent in contemporary psychoanalytic thinking about therapeutic action has shifted (though not exclusively) from accurately interpreting the truth of what was, to participating in the experience of what is, and what could be. Assaying this ontological trend, Ogden (2019) identifies a shift in a focus from the interpretation of dreams (Freud) to the experience of dreaming (Bion) and from interpreting the meaning of play (Klein) to playing (Winnicott). It is in this very spirit that, Vitalization in Psychoanalysis; Perspectives on Being and Becoming, seeks to further understand the experience of being unalive as well as the process of becoming enlivened through psychoanalytic action. In this edited volume of papers, coeditors Amy Schwartz Cooney and Rachel Sopher spotlight a dimension of relational psychoanalysis that is interested in the matter of what self psychologists have described as attention to the

It is argued that the contemporary psychoanalytic concept of the self provides a foundation for a modern ethic. The self is founded on the empathic recognition by the other who is seen as a subject in her own right. Therefore, the authentic self that realizes its potential is inherently empathic. But those who do not grow up in an empathic environment do not develop the capacity for empathy toward others or themselves and are likely to commit unethical acts. It is argued that the causation is also reversed. Those who commit unethical acts inflict damage upon the self, just as damaged selves are likely to become unethical. The need to disavow the ethical transgression leads to splitting and a weakened self. Without the experience of being empathized with by an other seen as a subject, the subjectivity of the self is arrested and becomes objectified. So, the foundation of ethics for the Western World may be found in the very sense of self. This may be called an ethic of inclination, as opposed to an ethic of imposition. The self who is free to pursue its authentic desires and goals will be ethical in pursuit of its destiny. In this ethic, the other’s subjectivity is recognized and appreciated for what it is even if the other is an opponent or enemy. The source of ethical behavior is self-realization.

This paper traces my personal experience of a missed opportunity with a patient as it reverberates within me across decades. I discover that my experience is transformed, in part by the process of writing, from dissociation to guilt, then to curiosity and regret. Regret is presented as a more complex emotion than guilt in that it is less characterized by self-reproach and reflects some measure of acceptance along with disappointment and sadness. Writings of Aron, Josephs, Searles, Slochower, Winnicott, and others are employed in the development of this theme.

A Review of From Sign to Symbol: Transformational Processes Reading Joseph Newirth’s From Sign to Symbol, Transformational Processes in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, and Psychology feels a bit like having an engaging conversation with a vastly learned teacher. Newirth’s style feels almost conversa-tional, an informality which belies the breadth of knowledge and scholarly acumen behind his work. In this review of his accessible, rich book, I will emphasize what I feel are his most creative contributions and use my own experience from a first career as a dance/movement therapist working with the memory impaired to demonstrate the applicability of Newirth’s scholarship to extra-analytic realms.

Y. Greenberg
The memories and the visual images of 9/11 are embedded in the public psyche as remnants of a collective trauma, and this collectivity can serve to create a common ground and an intersubjective space for trauma work. In addition to emphasizing the importance of enactive witnessing and recognition in the healing process, I discuss in this paper the impact of trauma, including that of 9/11, that has been experienced from afar, as I was living in Ohio on September 11, 2001. I will also address the impact of experiencing a traumatic event from a physical distance on trauma work, using the concept of “distance” both literally and figuratively. The clinical illustrations provided all involve witnessing 9/11 on a television screen. Each vignette illustrates how the images themselves can be used as actual screens on which to project earlier trauma history. Similarly, part of the clinical work was done from afar. Telephone and virtual therapy at certain times facilitated both disclosures and, paradoxically, enhanced feelings of closeness. The analyst’s engagement in the process of witnessing facilitated connection to dissociated areas of experience, but enactive witnessing brought cohesiveness and clarity to the fragmentation caused by trauma and lack of early recognition. The clinical stories illustrate how this engagement enabled both participants to enliven deadened, dissociated parts of the self.
