This article revisits aspects of a life-threatening illness I endured over twenty years ago, reviews responses to my paper on this topic, and offers personal recommendations to currently sick analysts and to our analytic institutes and societies. It emphasizes the ineffable, undocumentable, non-verbal aspects of my work with psychotic patients, and the profound empathy I found in them, which seemed to exceed that of less disordered patients. They were not strangers to chronic terror. I became a fellow traveler. Paradoxically, I felt that they were not so encumbered with denial and avoidance of death as are more functional people. My teacher and friend, Jerome Frank (1961), in his classic text Persuasion and Healing discussed the universal features of psychotherapy. While he wrote about those members of a community designated as healers, I was impressed by my patients’ efforts to heal me, to act as my shamans or therapists. Frank says, “The success of a psychotherapist depends in part on his really caring about the patient’s welfare, and the odds are that he can invest more of himself, other things being equal, in patients he can like and respect, if not for what they are, then for what they can become” (p.130).

The American Academy of Psychoanalysis is undergoing an identity crisis at this time, which is at least to a large extent a function of the whole current identity crisis in the field of psychoanalysis itself. In order to better understand this crisis, in this article I have first reviewed a similar situation which occurred in the history of classical Greece. Plato's famous Academy underwent a progressive deterioration and disintegration and fragmentation, until it ended up merely the handmaiden of another discipline, Christian theology, for a thousand years. I then propose that the identity crisis in psychoanalysis today has to do with our failure of nerve in the teeth of the abusive behavior of insurance companies regarding the payment for psychoanalysis and the current cultural ambience demanding "fast-fast-fast" relief. I call in this article for a return to Freud's basic principles as a focus for our identity. Of course we cannot ignore new discoveries in neurobiology if they are well established, or what we learn from the study of enactments in the here-and-how of the analytic procedure. Certainly the findings of Freud that are contradicted by firmly accepted empirical findings in neurobiology and other disciplines call for revision of some of his ideas, as do his mistaken views on the psychology of women and on certain other topics such as art, religion, and evolutionary biology. But this should not be permitted to blur our continuing focus on the fundamental principles of the clinical practice of psychoanalysis as Freud developed them over his lifetime. In this article I briefly reviewed those basic principles and proposed that we employ them as the basis for our identity as psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychiatrists. It represents a failure of nerve to drift this way and that with current fads and with the continuously deteriorating ambiance of our culture as the world slides into rampant global capitalism. Franz Alexander said years ago that psychoanalytic psychotherapy is one of the last remnants of the humanistic ideal, focussing on the individual unique person and his or her transcendent possibilities as well as maladaptive pathology. This article represents a clarion call for a debate on the identity of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and what it stands for, which can only be clarified if we have a sharp focus on what we basically mean by "psychoanalysis." As Saul Bellow puts it (Atlas, 2000) in discussing the disappointing current situation for the arts and the humanistic disciplines, the intelligent public is waiting to hear from these disciplines what it cannot hear from pure science: Out of the struggle at the center has come an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and what this life is for...the individual struggles with dehumanization for the possession of his soul, (p.462).

Three dramatic conflicts emerge from Sandor Ferenczi’s Clinical Diary, when the Diary is analyzed as if it were a literary text. Using the interlocking symbols of the threshold and the impasse as an Ariadne’s thread to guide us through the Diary’s complexities, we can trace Ferenczi’s journey to intense self-awareness in the penultimate year of his life. These three conflicts are (1) the conflict between Freud and Ferenczi, (2) the conflicts experienced by Ferenczi and his patients in his work in mutual analysis, and (3) Ferenczi’s internal conflicts uncovered in the process of mutual analysis, resulting in his discovery of what I call “the maternal defense.” “The maternal defense” is an elaborate constellation, developed by Ferenczi over the course of his life to protect him from acknowledgment of his unconscious hatred and fear of women. Excavation of this defense created space ample enough to contain ambivalent feelings toward both women and Freud. Traditionally, the threshold is a “symbol of transition and transcendence . . . the function of the threshold is clearly to symbolize both the reconciliation and the separation of the two worlds of the profane and

I am very honored to participate on this panel this evening and am particularly grateful to Ann Louise Silver for her wisdom in arranging this panel as the opening session of a scientific program of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis. I feel both fortunate and saddened to be on this panel. I feel fortunate for the opportunity to engage in this polylogue and share some of my own thoughts with you, and I feel saddened because Robert Pyles, the president of the American Psychoanalytic Association, could not participate because of a long-standing commitment for this evening. I send you both his greetings and good wishes as well as his sincere regrets that he could not be here. I would also like to stress that my comments here this evening, like at any other scientific discussion, are my own personal opinions and do not reflect any “official” position of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Obviously, I shared my ideas with my colleagues at the American after I wrote them. Thus, these comments are not a joint production nor, in fact, influenced by any discussion with anyone else. I am stressing this point because my paper has a very simple conclusion—a recommendation, as a matter of fact. My conclusion is that there is only one way to effectively implement a joint endeavor on credentialing psychoanalytic institutions, and eventually individual psychoanalysts. I will argue that for credentialing to occur, all of us will have to shift our focus. We need to shift away from a political orientation to a scientific orientation. It seems to me that up to now we have needed to pay a great deal of attention to political considerations because of the
我很荣幸今晚能参加这个小组特别感谢Ann Louise Silver她的智慧安排了这个小组作为美国精神分析学会的一个科学项目的开幕式。我既感到幸运，又感到悲伤。我很幸运能有机会参加这次演讲并与你们分享我自己的一些想法，我感到很难过，因为罗伯特·派尔斯，美国精神分析协会的主席，因为今晚的长期约定而不能参加。我谨向你们转达他的问候和良好的祝愿，并对他不能到场表示诚挚的遗憾。我还想强调，我今晚在这里的评论，就像在任何其他科学讨论中一样，是我个人的观点，并不代表美国精神分析协会的任何“官方”立场。显然，在我写完这些想法后，我与《美国人》的同事们分享了这些想法。因此，这些评论不是共同发表的，事实上也没有受到与任何人讨论的影响。我之所以强调这一点，是因为我的论文有一个非常简单的结论——实际上是一个建议。我的结论是，只有一种方法可以有效地实施对精神分析机构和个人精神分析师进行资格认证的联合努力。我认为，要想获得认证，我们所有人都必须转移注意力。我们需要从政治导向转向科学导向。在我看来，到目前为止，我们需要对政治考虑给予极大的注意，因为
