In his new volume of selected papers, Fred Busch—arguably America’s leading modern ego psychologist—treats readers to a glimpse of the breadth and depth of his writings, which largely focus on clinical technique. This book contains fifteen chapters of previously published papers, most of which appeared over the last twenty years either in Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association or in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. Busch’s thinking is notably coherent, his clinical advice highly practical, and his writing remarkably clear and concise. While some might deem these qualities a sure sign of simplistic thinking, I beg to differ. In a word, Busch’s writing is accessible, which is why I routinely recommend his papers to candidates interested in learning more about the psychoanalytic method. Those familiar with Busch’s work will recognize such themes as the value of working at the surface—within the neighborhood of what a patient is able to recognize as a manifestation of his own mind (Chapter 3)—and the dangers of doing otherwise, of attempting to interpret deep psychic content that lays beyond the patient’s conscious awareness. Busch believes deep interpretations run the risk of leaving patients amazed and impressed (mystified) by the analyst’s acumen yet clueless as to how he/she arrived at such a conclusion. Busch argues, if the patient cannot track the analyst’s thinking it isn’t as likely he/she will advance to the point of being able to engage in self-analysis once analysis is over.

dissolution of traditional monotheism. I find this analysis to be highly problematic, since it presupposes that the only variable in the development of a civilization that manages to generate a cohesive unified sense of self is religious, and monotheistic religion at that. It therefore eschews any possible relevance that other cultural phenomena may contribute to the mix. From this perspective, gender, ideology, ethnicity, economic modes of production, etc. are completely absent from this analysis—as is that most Freudian of concepts, overdetermination. As he finalizes his book, Kaye proposes some limitations to Freud’s clinical objectives—limitations that I imagine Freud himself wouldn’t oppose. Readers have enough to draw from in Kaye’s text to reach their own conclusions on this matter. All in all, Kaye succeeds in rescuing a particular contribution by Freud, which he states like this:

aspects are clearly addressed by the author. Levine uses the termmyth making to describe the constructions that his mind makes and that are stimulated by the relationship with his patient. In this way, a narrative is initiated. Words resonate with emotions, which in turn mobilize aspects with a representation deficit at the same time as they are attracted by already constituted symbols. Representations are created that mend the deficient areas, recalling that the constructions made by the words are less important than the emotions that are being shared in the here and now of the session. This expansion of the capacity to dream and think will travel in unforeseeable directions and will have no end. Just as there will be attacks on connections and on the symbolization processes— fruit of destructive drives that are always present. The richness of the themes addressed by Levine extends to the question of truth, autism and ASD, mind-body relationships, and psychosomatics. Levine offers us a text that is creative and stimulating. At the same time as he discusses his own ideas, he takes us on a pleasant stroll through important aspects of contemporary psychoanalytic thinking, connecting authors from different latitudes and detailing their similarities and differences. The clinical examples aid in deepening these ideas. The author’s ability to present complex ideas in a clear way, but without losing any depth, provides fertile ground for the reader who feels like a co-creator of the text. I am certain that reading this book will make the reader feel emotionally and intellectually enriched.

Howard L. Kaye has written an engaging and remarkably well-researched book on the social and cultural interests of Freud, going a long way to sustain the importance of Freudian thought in non-clinical fields. While the reader is not obliged to agree with all of Kaye’s conclusions, the rigorousness of his research and argument compels one to take them seriously. Freud As a Social and Cultural Theorist is comprised of ten chapters and a conclusion. The first chapter is a brief introduction into the central inquiry of the book: is Freud developing a biological or social view of humankind? Unequivocally, Kaye asserts that “Freud...must be read as we would a Marx, Durkheim or Weber...with the same sensitivity to development, ambiguity, and nuance which the totality of their work requires.” (p. 12). He goes on to argue this point throughout the book. After taking the reader through an overview of Freud’s initial psychoanalytic discoveries such as defense, infantile sexuality, and moving beyond the seduction hypothesis, Kaye begins an exploration of Freud’s social, cultural, political, and religious interests. To my mind, what is truly original here is the manner in which the author manages to almost constantly alternate between Freud’s theoretical works and personal epistolary. In this way, Kaye evokes a conversation in the reader’s mind

Emily Dickinson” is aptly titled. We experience Ogden’s associations, feelings, and his evocation of experience in reading two poems. It is an important part of this book because he embodies his aliveness in a setting with these poets. He invites us into his internal setting as a reader and how he is coming to life in the reading room—an experience related to coming alive in the consulting room. In a previous work (see footnote 1), Ogden cited Stoppard’s elegant definition of poetry as a literary form that simultaneously expands meaning as it contracts language. In this chapter, Ogden embodies a parsimony of language as he illustrates his responsiveness to patients. This volume itself enacts so beautifully the feeling of coming alive in the consulting room, an effort to live and create in potential space. My internal, ongoing conversations with Thomas Ogden over the years were once again enormously deepened. I am grateful to him as a clinician, theoretician, and, as I wish to emphasize again, a revolutionary student of tradition. STEVEN COOPER (NEW YORK, NY)

Psychoanalysis, Borgogno holds “only brings change if the analyst ‘is’ good, in the double sense of good as a ‘professional’ and good as a ‘person’” [Citing Racker (1958), p. 152]; and he seems hopeful that—having accompanied him on this very personal journey of remembrance—the reader’s experience will include an understanding of what Borgogno’s version of “being good”means.

Michael J. Diamond, a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies, has successfully integrated a wealth of theory and clinical evidence about the gender development of boys as they become men. He identifies with the West Coast version of the American independent tradition. He is quite grounded in modern Freudian theory and has added to and embellished Freud’s legacy with today’s pluralistic ideas and concepts. Bion, Lacan, British object relations, relational theorists, and others are frequently invoked. Diamond has authored more than ninety articles and three books, and his work is widely cited when the subject of male gender comes up. The reader encounters, on the very first pages, a wealth of accolades and praise by eight prominent psychoanalysts who took on the considerable task of reading this book. This book is dense and encyclopedic. Practically every sentence is loaded with concepts, old and new, that pertain to how male gender identity develops over time. Diamond delineates the path by which a boy becomes a man (mensch). Freud described his understanding of female development as the dark continent. With the advent of feminism in the late 20th Century, many psychoanalysts put light on female development. Diamond and others have explored the other dark continent, that of male development.

Ofra Eshel of Israel brings a wealth of clinical and theoretical background to this exploration of what she describes as analytic oneness, arguing for its centrality in current psychoanalytic praxis. Eshel is a training and supervising analyst of the Israel Psychoanalytic Society, vice president of the International Winnicott Association, and the founder and head of the postgraduate track “Independent Psychoanalysis: Radical Breakthroughs” at the advanced studies of the Program of Psychotherapy, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University. As she says at the outset, the book traces her theoretical and clinical development over the course of a long career—a career focused on working with very severe pathology, difficult-to-treat patients, and treatment-of-last-resort situations in both institutional settings and, as her career developed, in a more familiar, analytic office practice. A truly impressive body of work extending over thirty years, much of it previously published, is now gathered in one volume that, as the title announces, is centered on tracing the evolution of her analytic oneness concept as the core of psychoanalysis. This organization of the book allows the reader to follow along with her as she discovers, describes, reflects on, and refines her understanding of this central idea. Alongside this opportunity to grasp what is a conceptually nuanced and sophisticated perspective on our analytic task, we come to know Eshel’s remarkable spirit, style, tone, and sensibility.
