Moral Psychology,” are beautiful and rich displays of Lear’s intimate experience and knowledge of Loewald’s contributions to the field. The last two chapters are about taking responsibility. Putting Coetzee’s literary work to use, Lear forces both himself and the reader to take responsibility—namely, responsibility for injustice. This involves the moral challenge posed to us in owning racism and inequality, and in refusing any attempts to assign these ignoble qualities to others and thereby absolve ourselves. In short, the essays in Wisdom Won from Illness are delightful, thought provoking, engaging, and, in Lear’s own words, committed to life. As he sets out to share his journey from philosophy to psychoanalysis, he writes, “I began studying Aristotle in my twenties, and what captured my imagination was not only the brilliance of his thinking, but also his commitment for life. He was for it” (p. 3). This inspiration exudes from the pages of this book.

In this paper, the author describes a process, renegotiation of the frame, that emerged as he contemplated with his patients the continuation of work together in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such a renegotiation lends itself to the formation of bastions, as described by Baranger and Baranger (1969); attention to these bastions demonstrates that the psychoanalytic process continues and can deepen. An extended clinical vignette is presented to illustrate. If a more broadly defined functional frame is considered, not only may the frame be used as a clinical tool in a more nuanced way, but in addition, aspects of the traditional narrowly defined frame may be seen to contribute to the formation of bastions that, unaddressed, could impede the analytic process.

L. Lafarge
Many months ago, soon after COVID-19 took hold in North America, I put out a call to members of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly community to try to observe the changes associated with the pandemic, with the hope that we could find some valuable lessons for psychoanalytic thought and practice from the events that had already caused much harm. Over the next few months, with the input of my Associate Editors, the project grew to include the many disturbances that stemmed from the precarious political moment, as well as from the pandemic itself. In this issue, we see the first group of thoughtful and incisive papers that resulted. The second group will appear in the April 2022 issue of the Quarterly. Past historical events that surely reverberated through the psychoanalytic community have often failed to find broad expression in the analytic literature. World War II, for example, was represented by only a few articles and book reviews in the Quarterly, exploring wartime stress and fugue states (Fisher 1945; Jones 1945; Ross 1948) and the nature of the propaganda issued by both totalitarian and democratic states (Kris 1943; Saul 1942). And pandemics have been much less written about, in any genre, than wars. In Pale Rider (2017), a study of the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic and its inscription in memory, Spinney observes that, although the so-called Spanish flu killed at least 50,000,000 people across the globe—many more than the number claimed by the First World War— the pandemic has left few testaments in literature or elsewhere, in contrast with the vast literature emanating from the war. Spinney attributes this difference in part to the footprint of each of the events in space and

A pandemic’s reach is broad, deep, layered—both as an infectious agent and as the psychological force that will be explored by the author in this paper. The disorder it creates and the sorrow it leaves in its wake can be found in traces of its existence that remain in written works generated in the time after the pandemic is thought to be over. The author draws from creative texts by imaginative writers and Freud written in the period after the 1918-1920 pandemic. This paper is intended to create an experience in reading that introduces ways in which we can look for the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic in our own writing.

G. Civitarese
The pandemic has been such a dramatic experience that it has newly illuminated the factors that can transform Hegel’s necessary “infection”—a permeability to the other and the intersubjective foundation of the ego—into a contagion that alienates the subject. The dialectic between these two kinds of otherness represents what is truly at stake in any encounter—i.e., mutual recognition. Therefore, despite the terrible load of concreteness and suffering that bears directly on psychoanalysis, the theater of analysis still stands, so that the “tales of COVID-19” should also be listened to as fictional, that is, as unconscious communications in the here and now.

A libel placed on the very existence of trans children... is what passes for a rational object of “debate” among adults every day in the media, online, in schools and clinics, and in the social milieu in which trans children must find a way, despite all the odds [against them], to survive, to grow, and to endure.... [Trans children are] subject... to being dismissed as unreal or brainwashed... as if such determinations are not procedurally genocidal in their holding open the world where trans life would be violently extinguished in the first place.

For Theodore Shapiro, psychoanalytic process remains primarily a linguistic event, still the talking cure. The use of words “reveal[s] and render[s] accessible that which until then had been cast in nonlinguistic derivatives of action and symbolic representation” (p. 195). We learn words first, then build thoughts with them. Through thoughts, we learn life. In naming things and feelings, we get to know them. Through dialogue, we get to know one another. As Shapiro notes, “Language is a means of bridging the gap between two subjective participants” (p. 87). He states that our interpretations are acts of naming by which unconscious fantasies are placed in the realm of ego control by turning them into language. Translation of wishes and fantasies into inner and outer speech allows for control of behavior related to them. That is why so many of the papers in this collection concentrate on understanding the development and structure of language. Shapiro’s attention to words is evident in his writing style. It is clear, direct, and rational—without much adornment. This approach makes his arguments even more compelling. Shapiro emphasizes that, since psychoanalysis is essentially the study of symbolic systems, a knowledge of semiotics and linguistics is important. After all, “we are a profession of word users” (p. 87). In many of his papers, he emphasizes that our listening and speaking should be understood and studied within the frames of syntax (the organization of

In light of the 2020–2021 pandemic and consequent necessity for radical changes in psychoanalytic treatment, the author discusses transference-countertransference, resistance, and the analytic setting, among other themes. In particular, the author explores how elements of regression induced in patient and analyst during times of external challenge sometimes obscures elements of unconscious conflict and fantasy that analysis mobilizes and can help to elucidate. He explores an element of the analyst’s work with his own resistance to learning about what this catastrophe means psychologically to our patients and to those trying to help them. Three illustrative clinical vignettes are present and discussed.

Orthodoxy and heresy in psychoanalysis continuously interact with and inform each other according to a principle of mutual influence. Greenberg’s seminal contributions to psychoanalysis reflect his commitment to a ceaseless dialectical tension between orthodoxy and heresy. The analyst’s heresy/orthodoxy matrix is suggested as a way of conceptualizing this tension, one that is applicable to the personal and intellectual journey of every analyst. Resisting adjudication as well as enduring and being enriched by cacophony are among the guiding principles of Greenberg’s vision of comparative psychoanalysis and an explicit focus in his most recent work. In my reading of Greenberg, maintaining an optimal tension between orthodoxy and heresy is a core intellectual value.
