ABSTRACTThe article explores the metaphor of the “Greek chorus” as an image of the position of the analyst who, in the analytic field model, reverberates and returns the emotional content, sometimes slightly modified, so that the patient can listen to his or her own voice and enact a movement of transformation. That of the chorus, a voice made up of several voices, is also an antimoralistic, non-superegoic position, in which the analyst recognizes that he/she can accommodate the most diverse perspectives, emotions, and thus emotional truths that belong to the human. The authors show the relationship of their model to tragedy and, through clinical vignettes of both adults and children, they illustrate the technique of the analytic field in the light of this metaphor. The chorus corresponds to the we, to the overcoming of the I/you split made possible by interpretation.

摘要本文将“希腊合唱队”比喻为精神分析者的位置形象,在分析场模型中,精神分析者将情感内容(有时稍作修改)回响和返回,从而使患者能够倾听自己的声音,并做出转变的动作。合唱的声音,由几个声音组成的声音,也是一种反道德的、非超我的立场,在这种立场上,分析者认识到他/她可以容纳最多样化的观点、情感,从而容纳属于人类的情感真理。作者展示了他们的模型与悲剧的关系,并通过成人和儿童的临床小片段,他们在这个隐喻的基础上说明了分析领域的技术。合唱对应于“我们”,对应于“我/你”分裂的克服,这种分裂通过解释而成为可能。分析师的干预为他/她与患者共同创造的合唱发出声音。关键词:戏剧剧本、梦境评论、解释、披露声明作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。注释1“三次我试图用胳膊搂住他的脖子,三次他的鬼魂从我空虚的双手中逃离,就像一阵微风或一个飞翔的梦”(奥德赛11,206-208)参见:Civitarese (Citation2008)、Civitarese and Ferro (Citation2020)、Civitarese (Citation2021、Citation2022);2 .

ABSTRACTThis paper challenges the strictures in psychoanalysis that seem to decry creativity. Sanford Meisner, a renowned theater teacher, trained actors to perform the same script night after night with an unpredictable sense of freshness. This complex accomplishment was achieved through improvisation. These improvisations relied on imagination and creativity. Meisner’s approach afforded intense, affective engagement between two or more actors. The script created the context for interaction, while improvisation created the affective engagement that was unpredictably different with each performance. The case of Roberto demonstrates how Meisner improvisations afforded a creative entry into Roberto’s feelings of detached isolation. Through these improvisations, impasses in the treatment were transformed. New dimensions in the analyst/patient connection unfolded, and new understanding of the source of the patient’s protracted, detached, isolated, depressed states emerged. Roberto’s discovering new-found satisfaction not only with his analyst but in all relationships supports the value of improvisation as a creative contribution to psychoanalysis.KEYWORDS: Affective engagementcreativitydepressed statesMeisner improvisationpsychoanalysisunpredictability Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Additional informationNotes on contributorsArthur A.

摘要本文对精神分析学中似乎谴责创造力的狭隘观点提出了挑战。著名戏剧教师桑福德·迈斯纳(Sanford Meisner)训练演员们以一种不可预测的新鲜感,日复一日地表演同一个剧本。这一复杂的成就是通过即兴发挥实现的。这些即兴创作依赖于想象力和创造力。迈斯纳的方法在两个或更多的演员之间提供了强烈的、情感的接触。剧本创造了互动的环境,而即兴创作创造了每次表演都不可预测的不同情感投入。罗伯托的案例展示了迈斯纳的即兴创作如何为罗伯托的超然孤立感提供了创造性的入口。通过这些即兴创作,治疗中的僵局得到了改变。分析师/患者关系的新维度展开了,对患者长期、分离、孤立和抑郁状态的来源有了新的理解。罗伯托不仅对他的精神分析师感到满意,而且在所有关系中都发现了新的满足感,这支持了即兴创作对精神分析的创造性贡献。关键词:情感投入;创造力;抑郁状态;迈斯纳即兴创作;作者简介:arthur A.

Mark O’Connell
ABSTRACTAs both a therapist and an actor, O’Connell proposes that: 1) The artforms of acting and psychotherapy share the same core goal: to invite another person to embody a range of their humanity; and 2) Both artforms rely on the same core action to realize that goal – to listen. By listening to clients the way actors listen to their scene partners, O’Connell suggests that clinicians can maximize how we use our most essential instrument for therapeutic engagement: ourselves – particularly in terms of our implicit/nonverbal communication, or “subtext.” He emphasizes that listening like an actor is always the key to performing the art of therapy, no matter what “kind” of therapist we are, and no matter how our “scene work” takes place, (e.g. on “stage” or screen). Anecdotes from both therapy and acting are used to illustrate his ideas.KEYWORDS: Listeningimplicit communicationuse of selfmultiplicity of selfimprovisationacting Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 Wallace Shawn’s essay “Why I Call Myself a Socialist,” inadvertently but beautifully illustrates Philip Bromberg’s idea of multiplicity of self (Bromberg, Citation1998) through the lens of acting: “Contrary to the popular misconception, the actor is not necessarily a specialist in imitating or portraying what he knows about other people. On the contrary, the actor may simply be a person who’s more willing than others to reveal some truths about himself” (Shawn, Citation2011).2 Of note: Robin Weigert is the descendant of prominent psychoanalysts, including her father, Wolfgang Weigert and her grandmother, Edith Weigert, who wrote about psychotherapy as a creative art (Weigert, Citation1964).3 In contrast, a few years later I was told to “butch it up,” by a gay director no less, while rehearsing a production of Romeo & Juliet in which I played Romeo.

{"title":"Listen Like an Actor: The Key to the Performing Art of Therapy","authors":"Mark O’Connell","doi":"10.1080/07351690.2023.2257583","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/07351690.2023.2257583","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTAs both a therapist and an actor, O’Connell proposes that: 1) The artforms of acting and psychotherapy share the same core goal: to invite another person to embody a range of their humanity; and 2) Both artforms rely on the same core action to realize that goal – to listen. By listening to clients the way actors listen to their scene partners, O’Connell suggests that clinicians can maximize how we use our most essential instrument for therapeutic engagement: ourselves – particularly in terms of our implicit/nonverbal communication, or “subtext.” He emphasizes that listening like an actor is always the key to performing the art of therapy, no matter what “kind” of therapist we are, and no matter how our “scene work” takes place, (e.g. on “stage” or screen).
