ABSTRACT This study seeks to further elucidate the internal worlds of sexually abused “looked-after” children using quantitative and psychodynamic qualitative methods. It employs Story Stem Assessment Profile (SSAP) data to explore representations of self and other within a latency-aged (5–10 years) sample who are “looked-after” and were known to have experienced historical sexual abuse (SA). The SSAP’s coding system is harnessed for comparisons of SA children with both generic maltreated (MALT) and normative (COMM) groups, and a psychoanalytically informed thematic analysis of the narrative data is undertaken to shed light on unconscious patterns of representation. Eight codes that were statistically significant for the SA group were explored alongside three key qualitative themes (blurred boundaries, sense of threat and sound). The study presents considerations for future research and clinical intervention by illustrating how the impact of sexual abuse can manifest in children’s internal worlds.

ABSTRACT As the outgoing editor-in-chief of The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, I offer my reflections upon the seventy-fifth volume as I look back at the inception of the series in 1945, and my impressions about then and now. While there are most certainly remarkable differences in the zeitgeist, both in terms of culture, the larger social polity, and shifts in psychoanalytic interests, there are also similarities between these two eras which link them in surprising ways.

ABSTRACT This special section dedicated to papers concerned with change processes in psychodynamic child and adolescent psychotherapy poses a set of interesting questions. What makes an intervention psychodynamic? How do we measure psychotherapy process? How can we bring psychodynamically-oriented treatment to a wider community, especially those that would not otherwise have access? These questions highlight the rich dialogue that can take place when we draw on psychoanalytic constructs and techniques to inform clinically relevant research, and then extrapolate these, to bring treatment to where they are desperately needed.

ABSTRACT This paper addresses major changes that occurred in the analytic discourse between the author and her patients, following the catastrophe of 9/11. The author, an immigrant analyst, discusses new realizations she developed about herself during this period. She offers clinical examples to illustrate that an analyst’s brutal honesty with herself, about difficult feelings that sometimes come to light as a result of external events, allows her analytic patients to reach parts of themselves that might otherwise have been kept concealed in the analysis.

ABSTRACT The bombings of the World Trade Twin Towers, New York, on September 11th, 2001, marked a turning point in American history. This paper explicates on the impact that this terrorist act on American soil had on an emerging nascent and complex multicultural identity. Informed by both my personal and professional life, the analytic work with Marianna, a young adult, sheds some light on internal and external factors that contribute to a feeling of safety in a world that feels increasingly unsafe.

ABSTRACT Despite Ralph Greenson not being a child analyst, his two papers on the analysis of a gender-disordered boy offer a heuristic opportunity to consider current controversies in child analysis. Thus, his material is examined in terms of current considerations about how to understand and work with such disturbances, the distinctions between being a developmental object and providing a corrective emotional experience, the role and place of play in clinical technique, the analyst’s role as a real object, and the importance of promoting a sense of self-agency in child analysis. Greenson’s relatively sophisticated dynamic formulation of the boy’s gender issues is contrasted with his unidimensional technical approach with its deemphasis of insight into and articulation of the boy’s internal/subjective world. This approach limited the boy’s opportunity to achieve insightfulness and to terminate analysis with a sense of self-agency. It also could have left him vulnerable to later depression during adolescence because he never realized or mastered the complex emotions, conflicts, and relationship with his parents that contributed to his wishes to be and act like a girl. Instead, he altered his behavior to comply with his analyst’s wish that he act in a stereotypically masculine way.

ABSTRACT This paper traces the history of child psychoanalytic education, with emphasis on Anna Freud’s vision of training as inseparable from observation and research, from the issues of children’s education and upbringing, and from service to marginalized families. Historical obstacles to the formalization of child training – lack of parity for non-medical practitioners, organizational hierarchies, negative attitudes toward child work – are reviewed, as well as the pathways by which leaders in the field ultimately surmounted these hindrances, allowing child psychoanalytic centers to develop and create novel training models. In conclusion, the author draws from this complex history to propose a number of potential future directions that might help revitalize contemporary training programs.

ABSTRACT This paper considers how a psychoanalytic approach is positioned to listen empathetically to gender variance. Sexuality for children and adolescents is a site of both intense curiosity and fluidity and it is not unusual for an intensive interrogation of subjectivity to be directed through questions of gender and sexuality. But psychoanalysis diverges from advocacy-based and affirmative approaches today by approaching gender identity as informed by a question that is driving a gender-based answer. Hence, it allows time in analytic work for a question to emerge that a gender position or identity may be answering. This is an ethical approach that supports a space for desire that is not altogether reducible to identity, and is premised on the impossibility of satisfactorily reconciling mind and body in all forms of identity.

ABSTRACT In 2018, the IPA and the APsaA changed their training requirements for graduation for child and adolescent candidates. The modified standards permitted constituent societies and institutes who followed the traditional Eitington training model to offer their candidates the choice of treating one or more of their supervised cases at a frequency of 3 times per week, rather than the traditional four or five times per week. Controversy over the issue of frequency had preceded this change and has continued after the change. The author attempts to discuss all sides of the debate, addressing the benefits and the costs of each level of frequency. In the absence of good research on this question, the author asked experienced child analysts and some candidates to weigh in with their experiences and opinions. Some areas of consensus as well as areas of disagreement emerged.
