Incoherence in the Iraq War Narrative and the Concept of Collective Attachment. 伊拉克战争叙事中的不连贯与集体依恋的概念。
Pub Date : 2015-01-01
Antigonos Sochos

As a major function of ideological and institutional frameworks is to provide security to the social group, by constructing ideologies and socio-political institutions, social groups also construct their objects of collective attachment. When social debates are conducted openly and freely, they are informed by secure collective attachment representations leading to effective and group-protecting action. When they are conducted in the context of social domination they are informed by insecure collective attachment representations, leading to ineffective and group-compromising action. The decision to invade Iraq in 2003 seems to have been informed by insecure collective attachment representations defining an incoherent social narrative and an ineffective protective strategy.

由于意识形态和制度框架的一个主要功能是为社会群体提供安全,社会群体也通过构建意识形态和社会政治制度来构建其集体依恋的对象。当社会辩论公开和自由地进行时,他们会得到安全的集体依恋表征的信息,从而产生有效的群体保护行动。当他们在社会统治的背景下进行时,他们被不安全的集体依恋表征所告知,导致无效和群体妥协的行动。2003年入侵伊拉克的决定似乎是由不安全的集体依恋表象所决定的,这种表象定义了一种不连贯的社会叙事和无效的保护策略。

Dr. Rudolph Binion: professor, mentor, psychohistorian. 鲁道夫·比尼恩博士:教授、导师、心理历史学家。
Pub Date : 2015-01-01
Jacques Szaluta

As the title of my paper indicates, Dr. Rudolph Binion was my professor, mentor, and a leading psychohistorian. My paper in memoriam to Rudolph Binion is intended as both a retrospective and an introspective account of my relationship with him, as he had a pivotal influence on me when he was my professor at Columbia University. His help and influence continued after I left graduate school. In my paper I also deal with the enormous stresses of navigating through graduate school, for those students whose goal was to earn the Ph.D. degree. Some examinations were dreaded, For Example The "Examination in Subjects," popularly called the "Oral Exam." The "incubation" period was long indeed, frequently averaging nearly ten years, and it was an ordeal, as the rate of attrition was very high. There is then also the question of "ego strength" and that of "transference" toward the professor. Graduate school is indeed a long and strenuous challenge. I took a seminar in modern French history, a requirement for the Master's degree with Professor Binion, which was consequential for me, as he taught me to be objective in writing history. Professor Binion was a demanding and outstanding teacher.

正如我论文的标题所示,鲁道夫·比尼恩博士是我的教授、导师,也是一位著名的心理历史学家。我这篇纪念鲁道夫·比尼恩的论文,意在回顾和反省我与他的关系,因为当他还是我在哥伦比亚大学的教授时,他对我产生了关键的影响。在我离开研究生院后,他的帮助和影响仍在继续。在我的论文中,我也谈到了那些以获得博士学位为目标的学生在研究生院的巨大压力。有些考试是可怕的,例如“科目考试”,通常被称为“口试”。“潜伏期”确实很长,通常平均接近十年,这是一种折磨,因为损耗率非常高。然后还有“自我力量”和对教授的“移情”的问题。读研的确是一项漫长而艰苦的挑战。我参加了比尼恩教授的法国现代史研讨班,这是攻读硕士学位的必修课,这对我很有影响,因为他教我在写历史的时候要客观。比尼恩教授是一位要求苛刻的优秀教师。

Privatization and Psychoanalysis: The Impact of Neo-liberalism on Freud's Tool of Social Justice. 私有化与精神分析:新自由主义对弗洛伊德社会正义工具的影响。
Pub Date : 2015-01-01
Scott Graybow, Jennifer Eighmey, Sharon Fader

The paper outlines the historical links between psychoanalysis, social progressivism and the political Left. It then details the process by which those links were undone such that today psychoanalysis and mental health services in general are alienated from their radical roots. The paper posits this process of alienation is continued today via the neo-liberal phenomenon of privatization, which has profound implications for clients seeking mental health treatment especially those of minority status or who are economically oppressed. Today, access to effective mental health treatment is linked to one's economic status, and people of all class backgrounds seem less likely to receive mental health interventions that promote awareness of the oppressive political and economic forces they face. The paper includes two clinical vignettes illustrating the inequalities that are inherent to the privatized mental healthcare system. The paper calls for a return to the ideals and practices of the progressive psychoanalysis that defined the inter-war era of the last century.

本文概述了精神分析、社会进步主义和政治左派之间的历史联系。然后,它详细说明了这些联系被解除的过程,以至于今天的精神分析和心理健康服务总体上偏离了它们的根本根源。本文认为,这种异化过程通过私有化的新自由主义现象在今天仍在继续,这对寻求心理健康治疗的客户,特别是那些少数民族或经济上受压迫的客户具有深远的影响。今天,获得有效的精神健康治疗的机会与一个人的经济地位有关,所有阶级背景的人似乎都不太可能接受精神健康干预,从而提高他们对所面临的压迫性政治和经济力量的认识。这篇论文包括两个临床小插曲,说明了私有化精神卫生保健系统固有的不平等。这篇论文呼吁回归进步精神分析的理想和实践,这种理想和实践定义了上个世纪两次世界大战之间的时代。

Political Leaders and Psychohistorical Approaches in a Time of Borderline Polarization. 边缘两极分化时代的政治领袖与心理历史研究。
Pub Date : 2015-01-01
Dan Dervin

Since the breakup of the Soviet Empire in 1989, followed by Yugoslavia, many otherwise secure countries have been collapsing and splitting apart. The maps in the Middle East are continually being redrawn, more often than not, in blood. Scotland is poised to break away from the UK, Catalonia from Spain, and here at home several states toy around with secession. Much of this turmoil on the macro level seems to dovetail with my present focus on the micro. Whether the two are related in some fashion is tantalizingly beyond the present scope. In this paper my micro-purpose is to delve into the deeper recesses of our public life and explore the intra-psychic fissures. The key concept for this quest is a relative newcomer to psychoanalytic nomenclature: the borderline. Coming to the fore in the 1970s, the term addresses the widespread splitting both within the self and in relationships, manifest in either-or, all-or-nothing ideation, along with an impulsivity that further distances actions from consequences. These and related features-are conducive to an anything-goes politics of us-against-them. Richard Hofstadter's 1965 "paranoid style," of political leaders is recalled and modified to a borderline-mode factored into a psychohistorical dynamic which construes politicians as delegates for group-fantasy. Recent presidential elections offer a rich field for testing the aptness of this approach. Then, after brief detours into how Freud and Darwin disrupted polarizing forces in their own cultures, we revisit political turmoil during the Woodrow Wilson years for historical similarities and differences in which repeated recourse to purity serves as a bridge word. The inquiry closes with reflections on how psychohistory may avoid pitfalls in further probing this vexing state of affairs and primes the reader to ponder whether the disaffected young males drawn to ISIS are functioning on borderline levels. If so, we have a plausible bridge between macro and micro realms.

自1989年苏联帝国解体以来,许多原本安全的国家都在崩溃和分裂。中东的地图不断被重新绘制,更多的时候是在流血中。苏格兰准备脱离英国,加泰罗尼亚准备脱离西班牙,而在国内,有几个州在玩弄分裂的游戏。宏观层面的动荡似乎与我目前对微观的关注不谋而合。这两者是否在某种程度上有关联,目前尚不清楚。在本文中,我的微观目的是深入到我们公共生活的更深层次,探索精神内部的裂缝。这个探索的关键概念是一个相对较新的精神分析术语:边界。这个词在20世纪70年代出现,它指的是自我内部和人际关系中普遍存在的分裂,表现为非此即彼、全有或全无的观念,以及一种将行为与后果进一步拉开距离的冲动。这些和相关的特征有助于我们对抗他们的任何事情的政治。理查德·霍夫施塔特(Richard Hofstadter) 1965年提出的政治领导人的“偏执风格”被回忆起来,并被修改为一种边缘模式,这种模式被纳入一种心理历史动态,将政治家视为群体幻想的代表。最近的总统选举为测试这种方法的适用性提供了一个丰富的领域。然后,在简要介绍了弗洛伊德和达尔文如何在他们自己的文化中打破两极分化的力量之后,我们重新审视伍德罗·威尔逊(Woodrow Wilson)时代的政治动荡,寻找历史上的相似之处和差异,其中反复求助于纯粹起到了桥梁作用。调查结束时,作者思考了心理历史如何在进一步探究这一令人烦恼的事态时避免陷阱,并促使读者思考,被ISIS吸引的心怀不满的年轻男性是否处于边缘状态。如果是这样,我们就在宏观和微观领域之间架起了一座看似合理的桥梁。

Exceptional achievement and early parental loss: the phaeton effect in American writers, presidents, and eminent individuals. 杰出的成就和早期失去父母:美国作家、总统和杰出人士的辉腾效应。
Pub Date : 2015-01-01
Lionel G Standing, Shari Aikins, Brent Madigan, Willa Nohl

This study explored predictions made from Lucille Iremonger's Phaeton theory (1970), which argues that individuals who show exceptional personal achievement in certain fields frequently have experienced childhoods that were marked by parental loss through death and desertion. Three groups were examined: eminent American writers, presidents of the USA, and the 100 Americans who were judged by Life magazine to have been the most influential in 20th century society. Bereavement was common in the childhoods of these outstanding individuals, but was also high, or even higher, for those individuals who achieved somewhat less eminence (less successful writers, and presidential also-rans). More than half the total set of the presidents and also-rans were orphans. Eminent Americans showed substantial although lower levels of parental loss, and nearly three-quarters had experienced difficult childhoods that were marked by some form of loss. Eminent Americans, like the presidents, tended to be first-borns; they also showed elevated levels of divorce, suicide, and name changing. The results provide support for the Phaeton theory, but suggest that the child's struggle to overcome other losses than bereavement may also promote eminence, as may the presence of significant mentors.

这项研究探索了Lucille Iremonger的Phaeton理论(1970)的预测,该理论认为,在某些领域表现出非凡个人成就的个体,往往经历了因死亡和遗弃而失去父母的童年。研究考察了三组人:著名的美国作家、美国总统,以及被《生活》杂志评选为20世纪社会最有影响力的100位美国人。在这些杰出人物的童年中,丧亲之痛很常见,但对于那些不太出名的人(不太成功的作家和总统候选人)来说,丧亲之痛也很高,甚至更高。总统和落选者中有一半以上是孤儿。杰出的美国人虽然失去父母的程度较低,但却表现出相当大的程度,近四分之三的人经历过以某种形式的失去父母为特征的艰难童年。杰出的美国人,比如总统,往往是长子长女;他们的离婚率、自杀率和改名率也有所上升。研究结果为法厄顿理论提供了支持,但也表明,孩子努力克服丧亲之痛以外的其他损失,以及重要导师的存在,也可能提升他们的卓越性。

To Look or Not to Look: The Backward Engineering of Atrocity. 看还是不看:暴行的逆向工程。
Pub Date : 2015-01-01
Howard Stein, Allcorn Seth

The organizational concept of "backward engineering" is used as a hermeneutic device to illuminate processes that were employed to implement the Holocaust. Here we study how rationality can be used in the service of irrationality. In particular, rationalized, engineered and bureaucratically organized inputs, throughputs, and outputs contain unconscious processes embodied in the engineering of atrocity. The process of the "conversion" of experiencing subjects into disposable objects is examined. Finally, the psychodynamics of the inability to look backward and take apart the vast supply chain leading to the actual killing are examined. An understanding of organizational psychodynamics contributes to the psychohistorical study of atrocity on a vast scale.

“落后工程”的组织概念被用作一种解释学手段,以阐明实施大屠杀的过程。在这里,我们研究如何利用理性为非理性服务。特别是,合理化、工程化和官僚化组织的投入、产出和产出包含无意识的过程,体现在暴行的工程化中。考察了体验主体“转换”为一次性客体的过程。最后,对无法回顾过去、无法拆解导致实际杀戮的庞大供应链的心理动力学进行了研究。对组织心理动力学的理解有助于对暴行进行大规模的心理历史研究。
