Paul and I knew each other for more than 65 years and we were close friends for much of that time. Paul and his wife Fran have been not just family, but warm and generous family. There aren’t too many people, including good friends, one can feel free to call and say, “I want to come to Stockbridge and spend a few days with you,” and invariably receive “Of course” as a reply. It is difficult for me to write about Paul in any context other than that of a deep and loving friendship. So, I will write about Paul the person, the dear friend, more than Paul the author and psychoanalyst—although, of course, they are intertwined. I live in California. Therefore, much of our contact was by phone. During the last year of Paul’s life we spoke on the phone about three or four times a week. During that time, Paul’s remarkable courage in facing his deadly illness was matched by his continuing and undiminished zest for life. Although he did not deny death, he did not wait around for it. Virtually every time we spoke Paul would excitedly tell me about some new stimulating book or article he was reading or some interesting ideas with which he was playing. He was always enthusiastic and excited about something. Our conversations were not mainly about his illness and treatment. After Paul brought me up to date on these matters, we went on to talk about many things: ideas, projects, the latest joke, family news, and we engaged in playful zaniness. Playful. That is certainly a word that characterized Paul. If playfulness is a mark of a good life—and I think it is—Paul certainly knew how to lead a good life. I think Paul’s success as a therapist was, at least in part, attributable to his natural ability to be playful, to the freedom of his imagination.

Abstract The concept of therapeutic action among most schools of psychoanalysis has solidly progressed from the original Freudian catharsis-insight model to an intersubjective-insight perspective. This article will focus on the re-conceptualizations of therapeutic action that have evolved over the past 80 years in interpersonal psychoanalysis and among many other psychoanalytic orientations. A clinical example will follow to illustrate an intersubjective-insight model of therapeutic action.

Abstract This article examines a therapeutic experience with sexual offenders as part of compulsory treatment. More specifically, we focus on the question of exhibitionism. First, we describe our therapeutic setting: a psychoanalytic psychodrama group. Then we study the case of Fernand, an exhibitionist. The treatment revealed that Fernand was desperately seeking attention: from others, thanks to his professional skills as a repairman but also and especially, in a transgressive way, through his exhibitionism. We show how exhibitionism can condense, externalize, and project on to others, the enigmas of sex and generational differences. We then examine whether psychodrama is a tool that can be used to illuminate Fernand’s fantasies hidden behind his exhibitionist act. Finally, we wonder to what extent providing patients with the opportunity to play out their own story in a therapy, using their own body under the scrutiny of others, may help the exhibitionist to see themself in their own complexity.

Abstract This article proposes a distinction between “faith” and “trust,” within psychoanalysis. It puts forth the idea that one’s faith might be thought of as an inborn quality that promotes the feeling that the future holds within it more possibilities than those already encountered and allows the individual to develop and move forward. On the other hand, trust is an acquired quality, shaped within the mother-infant dyad, and is experience-based. Both trust and faith play a significant role in a patient’s ability to use their analysis to better their lives, albeit each holds a different function, complementary to one another. The author suggests that “there is no such thing as a patient” (apart from the analyst’s faith). The analyst’s capacity to have faith in the patient’s possibilities holds, within it, the dialectic tension between oneness (faith) and twoness (trust), acting as an “alpha function of faith.”
