We are very pleased to present this Special Issue of PSW featuring six scholarly papers originally presented at the 2019 AAPCSW National Conference: Intrigue, Insight, Inquiry: Through Today’s Psychoanalytic Lens. In addition to being thoroughly vetted prior to acceptance at the Conference, each paper was also subject to a separate peer review process by this Journal. The substantive focus and mission of the 2019 conference was described as follows: In these multilayered and challenging professional times, how can we sustain excellence in clinical theory and practice? Our challenge is in safeguarding core values—individual dignity, respect for diversity, social justice advocacy—as we embrace innovations in psychoanalytic knowledge. The papers in this issue reflect distinct associations the authors had to the overarching conference theme and demonstrate both breadth and creativity. The wide range of topics includes:

Abstract Therapists’ internalized analytic communities, like other internal or imagined communities, consist of attachment figures’ representations, with which they share the same ideals and beliefs, interests, and boundaries. These internal analytic communities, emerging as a “third presence” in therapeutic interactions, facilitate the development of therapeutic processes, enhance therapists’ sense of safety and their identification with other professionals, and share their therapeutic responsibility. This notwithstanding, therapists sometimes experience anxiety associated with contradictions between their internal analytic community and individualistic parts of their professional selves. Besides familiarizing the supervisees with updated theoretical convictions and practices, the supervisor’s role includes helping them to assimilate their own version of the analytic community through negotiating their inner contradictions. Several positions are suggested to facilitate supervisors’ capacity to help their supervisees to construct and assimilate an integrated internal analytic community that is capable of validating the supervisees’ professionality and strengthening their authority and self-experience as analytic therapists.

Abstract Treatment can be powerfully informed by the exploration of psychodynamic concepts. Yet, many graduate social work programs struggle to adequately examine these ideas. Psychodynamic practice has transformed from a framework of long-term private practice, which requires multiple sessions a week, to a contemporary framework that can integrate into any modality, frequency, setting, and length of treatment. Literature on the psychodynamic approach has not been effectively incorporated into most current graduate programs. This article addresses this gap in social work education by advocating for graduate-school coursework focusing on—at a minimum—the concepts of (a) the unconscious, (b) transference, and (c) countertransference. In the following pages, we offer a synopsis of current graduate-level coursework, and an examination of psychodynamic thinking, including its base of evidence and value in contemporary treatment. This article explores an integrative approach to training and practice. We argue that understanding these fundamental psychodynamic concepts creates a more nuanced, deeper, and impactful treatment and that training in this area is beneficial to all social workers.

Abstract This article examines the Imago couple therapist’s work through Winnicott’s concepts, such as holding, mirroring, and, especially, the capacity for concern. Drawing on vignettes from couples in treatment, I demonstrate methods employed by Imago therapists to encourage the expression of each spouse’s “true self” and enable the emergence of Hendrix’s “hidden,” “denied,” or “lost” self. The “manic defense” concept will elucidate the couple’s “exits” that serve to avoid intimacy, and destruction of the object. Negative and positive emotional reactions of the therapist are discussed. The opportunity for a corrective experience is also examined in light of neuropsychological research.

Abstract Despite the advent of the neuroleptic drugs in the 1950s, schizophrenia continues to cause widespread economic burden and disability. Various psychoanalytic scholars have offered theories of schizophrenia as a mental illness, and research has consistently demonstrated psychotherapy’s effectiveness as a component of schizophrenia treatment. The contributions of the late Italian-American psychiatrist Silvano Arieti are reviewed here as an example of a unified biological and psychodynamic approach to schizophrenia. Clinical techniques for working analytically with schizophrenia patients are reviewed. Implications of an integrated approach to the disorder are discussed within the current climate of mental health.

Abstract This article provides a basic psychological conceptualization of racial trauma. It considers how seemingly minor instances of bias or discrimination can lead to posttraumatic reactions, the proportions of which can be hard to understand from the outside. I propose to describe this non-extraordinary event of racially biased treatment as the discriminatory gesture in order to emphasize its fluidity and pervasiveness as an interpersonal event. Being the subject of a discriminatory gesture represents a unique source of trauma, particularly because it derives its destructive power from its occurrence in a wider contemporary context of pervasive racism, white supremacy, and the historical context of slavery.
