Abstract Individuals with eating disorders (ED) use their bodies to dissociate need and desire, thus maintaining their autonomy from other human beings. Desire is dissociated and concretized in the body, where it is ruthlessly controlled and attacked. In addition, the preoccupation with food and the process of eating (or not eating) substitute for a relationship with a needed, self-regulating other. For these reasons, it is difficult for ED patients to access desire in treatment. A dangerous enactment can arise, in which the patient’s dissociated desire can evoke the analyst’s dissociated neglect, which helps perpetuate the patient’s dissociation of desire, in an endless cycle. Strategies for accessing the patient’s desiring self-states are discussed, particularly the importance of acknowledging the healthy, self-defining functions of the patient’s ED behavior.

Abstract This essay draws on a clinical vignette reproduced from a treatment with Philip Bromberg and carried into my clinical work, illuminating his creative use of enactment. The ongoing vitality of his insight carried over three decades and two analytic engagements.

Abstract The contributions to this special volume are but one holographic sliver representing the ways in which Philip M. Bromberg influenced psychoanalysis. To give voice to the many that he touched would require a never-ending issue of Contemporary Psychoanalysis. So, for now, this special edition brings you a slice. Bromberg’s ideas are among the most influential bodies of work written by any interpersonal/relational analyst and his teachings, supervisions, and writings collectively speak to his belief in profound affective possibilities for human relatedness.

Abstract Initially informed by concepts related to dissociative experience via the notion of Sullivan’s ‘not-me’ (1953), Philip Bromberg went on to craft a relational psychoanalysis built upon the foundation of a multiple self-state theory of mind that grew from his discussions with Stephen Mitchell and also from his attention to the literature and treatment of dissociative identity disorder (DID). Although he never claimed to be treating DID, the reader is invited to form their own opinion about the reach of Bromberg’s work. Additional concepts related to Bromberg’s perspectives, such as “relational traumatology” and the notion of the “participant-witness,” are briefly explored. Clinical vignettes illustrate these concepts.
Philip Bromberg最初通过Sullivan的“非我”(1953)概念了解了与分离体验相关的概念，他在与Stephen Mitchell的讨论以及对分离性身份障碍(DID)的文献和治疗的关注中发展出了多重自我状态心理理论，并在此基础上建立了关系精神分析。尽管他从未声称自己在治疗DID，但读者可以就布朗伯格的研究范围形成自己的看法。与Bromberg的观点相关的其他概念，如“关系创伤学”和“参与者-证人”的概念，被简要探讨。临床小品说明了这些概念。

Abstract In this brief essay I describe in a very condensed way what is, to me, the heart of Philip Bromberg’s work: the creation of the mind from the affectively charged events of the interpersonal field, and the rootedness of therapeutic action in the analyst’s emotional responsiveness to the enactment of the patient’s structuralized dissociations.

Abstract This essay addresses some of Philip Bromberg’s ideas regarding “other ways of knowing” as important, implicit communications that can yield information about early attachment(s), and relational ruptures. Because they convey meaning through the senses and not through spoken language, they potentially serve as a means of perceptual symbolization. Bromberg privileged implicit knowing in his clinical work, and considered art in all of its manifestations, as well as dreams in their embodied/imaginal qualities, to be central to procedural memory and implicit relational knowing.

In Begin Again, Eddie Glaude, a Professor of American Studies at Princeton University, utilizes mainly the nonfictional work of James Baldwin (1924–1987) in order to explore the nature of racism and the responses to it in the United States primarily from 1955 to the present. He states that a major catalyst for the book was his belief that exploring the trajectory of Baldwin’s life in relation to the issue of racial oppression served as a way to try to deal with his sense of betrayal with “the election of Donald Trump and the ugliness that consumed my country” (p. xvii). His book is not a conventional scholarly work since it is a synthesis of autobiography, biography, literary criticism, and historical commentary. Moreover, it does not pretend to be a neutral, objective account. For, Glaude makes it clear that he is emotionally immersed in the issues he addresses, which is evident when he states that “today we confront the ugliness of who we are” (p. xxviii). According to Glaude, “That ugliness isn’t just Donald Trump or murderous police officers or loud racists screaming horrible things. It is the image of children in cages with mucus-smeared shirts and soiled pants glaring back at us” [p. xxviii). The book, then, is a highly personal account of how Glaude struggled to understand Baldwin’s life and work in an attempt to understand the current racial crisis centering on the relationship between White people and Black people. Because of its personal

Yarom’s (2015) book, Psychic Threats and Somatic Shelters: Attuning to the Body in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Dialogue, is her second publication with Routledge. Her first, Matrix of Hysteria (2005), also explores bodily manifestations in psychoanalysis, as part of her discussion of this historically-laden concept. This time, however, it seems to be Yarom’s aim to keep from restricting these manifestations to any diagnostic criteria or any single theory. Instead, she places them at the center of attention in the consulting room. The present book is a skillful interlacing of the body of knowledge and thought about the body in psychoanalytic theory but, most of all, it is a wellreasoned manifesto of the importance of body-attuned practice. The book consists of two parts. The first part, “Somatic Shelters,” contains eight chapters and serves as an anthology of bodily manifestations in the clinical setting. It describes different utilizations of what Yarom terms “somatic shelters:” ways of using the body when the mind fails, when one’s alpha function and/or relational context is inadequate. According to Yarom, being in a somatic shelter is a way to both avoid psychic experience and, at the same time, communicate its pain through the ‘coded’ language of physical phenomena or medical conditions. The first two chapters, “Subjects in Sight, Sound and Touch” and “Subjects in Smell and Taste,” demonstrate Yarom’s claim that all the senses are at work in the consulting room and that we should not dismiss any sensory input, however embarrassing, unpleasant or seemingly unimportant. Her claim is a kind of Freudian dictum
