PD Dr. Michael Wolf, Dr.Michael Axel
Blockveranstaltung, Babelsberger Straße 14- 16, Raum 302
Vorbesprechung und 1. Termin: 29.04.2000, 14 18 Uhr
Das Ziel der Lehrveranstaltung ist ersten die Erarbeitung des theoretischen Konzepts der Psychologie des Selbst von Heinz Kohut und dessen Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten zu/mit anderen Strömungen/Schulen innerhalb des psychoanalytischen Paradigmas. Darauf aufbauend folgt zweitens eine Vorstellung und Diskussion der Anwendung dieses Ansatzes im klinischen Bereich. Drittens wird gezeigt, dass die psychoanalytische Selbstpsychologie auch und insbesondere geeignet ist Phänomene außerhalb des klinischen Bereichs, in der sogenannten angewandten Psychoanalyse oder analytischen Sozialpsychologie zu erklären.

Ornstein P H: Conceptualization and treatment of rage in self psychology, in: Journal of Clinical Psychology 55, 1999 March, number 3, 283-293
This article presents a self-psychological understanding and treatment of anger. Angry reactions are based on various types of injury to self-esteem, and on disappointments in those one holds in special esteem-such as early caretakers and later important others. When these injuries and disappointments are massive--traumatic--the ensuing angry reaction is especially intense and often destructive. Treatment addresses the patient's vulnerability, the soil on which all these forms of anger arise, through an empathic entry into the subjective inner world of the angry or enraged individual rather than through direct confrontations. Empathic entry leads the therapist to the sources of anger, often precipitated by inadvertent, unempathic responses in the therapeutic encounter. Accepting nonjudgmentally, understanding uncritically, and explaining patiently the meaning and origin of the anger may lead to the amelioration of the vulnerability that gives rise to the anger.

Rowe CE Jr.: The concept of resistance in self psychology, in. Am J Psychother 1996 Winter;50(1):66-74
Self psychology views resistances as protecting a vulnerable self. Resistances are seen as efforts to maintain levels of organization that patients have achieved within the context of their traumatic life situation. Patients feel able to move forward in the treatment when the importance of their need to maintain their developmental position is understood. This view is in contrast to the traditional view of resistances as treatment interferences that must be overcome as they defend against awareness of impulses and allow for unconscious instinctual gratification.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy, in which a seemingly caring and concerned mother is simultaneously harming her child, can best be understood in terms of the mother's need for a relationship with a physician that is rooted in a profound sense of early abandonment. This understanding broadens the definition of perversions. The infant in this sadomasochistic interaction is dehumanized and is used as a fetishistic object to control the relationship. The author's literature review and case report provide the basis for his exploration of the historical, cultural, and psychological factors that both contribute to the development of the syndrome and conspire to deny its reality.

The authors propose to clarify concepts of emotional attunement and failures of attunement in early development derived from theoretical and clinical work (Kohut) and infant psychiatry (Stern). Early attunement failures are experienced as shameful by the infant/child, and without repair they form a nidus for later destructive adult interpersonal relationships, "social blindness," and depression. The authors present a case illustrating these ideas. The role of empathic attunement experienced in the unique setting/structure of psychotherapy emerges as the single critical variable for a successful outcome.

Garfield DA, Tolpin M: Selfobjects in psychosis--the twinship compensation, in: Am J Psychother 1996 Spring; 50(2):178-93
Psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who work with psychotic patients often encounter unusual clinical phenomena. In this article, a certain kind of phenomena is described, wherein the patient refers to a body part of the therapist as being owned by the patient. This "body part borrowing" or "merger" can be explained by the classical and object relations schools in terms of part and transitional object concepts. These diagnostic formulations will then guide therapeutic intervention. Newer concepts, from the psychoanalytic school of self psychology, particularly that of the twinship selfobject experience, provide for a more effective intervention in these complex clinical situations. Certain psychotic responses, in these cases, delusional misperceptions, can be viewed as the patient's attempt to stave off empathic rupture and fragmentation. "Body-part borrowing" in the treatment setting thus serves as a twinship selfobject compensation; it attenuates the unbearable affects generated by empathic failure. In this article, we offered clinical vignettes to illustrate these processes in two patients with psychosis and one with neurosis. We then offered various suggestions for clinical intervention based on a selfobject understanding of these phenomena.

This paper traces the evolution of the self-psychological view of depression from its roots in classical psychoanalytic theory and technique. Self psychology differs significantly from classical psychoanalysis in its theoretical understanding and its technical handling of the transferences and aggressive tendencies of depressed patients in psychotherapy or psychoanalysis.

Rodin GM: Somatization: a perspective from self psychology, in: J Am Acad Psychoanal 1991 Fall;19(3):367-84
Somatization is a complex phenomenon that occurs in many forms and diverse settings. It is not necessarily pathological and may be found in a variety of psychiatric disorders. Much of the psychiatric literature has focused on patients with conversion disorders and hypochondriasis. Psychoanalytic theories regarding such conditions were largely based upon concepts of drive, conflict, and defense. The perspective from self psychology, with its emphasis on subjective experience and the sense of self, may further enhance the psychoanalytic understanding of somatization. Individuals with disturbances in the stability and organization of the self may present with somatic symptoms and disturbances in emotional awareness. Somatization in such cases may be the experiential manifestation of a disturbance in the cohesion of the self and/or may result from defensive operations to ward off affect. The latter may be prominent when affective arousal triggers the psychological threat of fragmentation. Somatization may diminish in such individuals when a self-object relationship is formed that bolsters and consolidates the sense of self. The integration of affect into ongoing subjective experience may also be an important aspect of psychoanalytic treatment in such patients.
Bachar E: The contributions of self psychology to the treatment of anorexia and bulimia, in: Am J Psychother 1998 Spring 52(2):147-65
This article reviews the contribution of self psychology to the treatment and understanding of anorexia and bulimia. It tries to show that the unique conceptualization of self, selfobject relations, and this theory's conceptualization of resistance and defenses constitutes a therapeutic stance which especially fits the therapeutic needs of eating-disordered patients. Clinical vignettes illuminate three main issues exemplifying the opportunities and dilemmas that this new development in psychoanalytic theory brings to the fore in the treatment of eating disorders: (1) empathy with deeds and attitudes of the patient that the therapist finds difficult to empathize with; (2) empathic understanding "from within" from an experience-near stance vs. experience-distant interpretation "from without"; (3) self, selfobject relations with food and as a result of progress in therapy, with human beings.

Recent research on psychological and social factors that facilitate creativity indicates that clinicians can play important roles in fostering innovations crucial for national economic and social well - being. New research evidence indicates that individuals who carry increased liability for certain psychiatric illnesses, such as bipolar disorder (and possibly other disorders such as schizophrenia, as well) may tend to have unusual potential for creative accomplishment-- particularly if they do not themselves have severe symptoms. Clinicians' professional skills give them special opportunities to nurture unusual creative potential in such individuals by using various approaches, ranging from more sensitive use of medication to creating special occupational niches in which unusually talented but psychologically vulnerable individuals can flourish. Clinicians are also needed to catalyse interdisciplinary reforms of occupational and educational institutions to remove authoritarian and harshly competitive conditions that discourage creativity and replace them with new social settings that actively foster innovation. Therapists, therefore, have important cultural roles to play in fostering creativity, not only through traditional professional roles, such as treating patients referred to them, but also through more "practice" ones, such as matching individuals with creative temperaments to optimal social settings, or inventing new social organisations. To fill these roles properly, therapists will themselves have to become more innovative in recasting their own professional identifies and responsibilities.

The changes in psychoanalytic self psychology since its origination by Heinz Kohut are described as differences in three branches: the traditional, the intersubjective, and the relational. Each claims both a distinctiveness and a major influence within self psychology. These are described and contrasted. It is suggested that an effort to integrate all three is premature, and that they will continue to grow separately.
Lichtenberg JD, Wolf E: General principles of self psychology: a position statement, in: J Am Psychoanal Assoc 1997;45(2):531-43
In the more than twenty-five years since Kohut formulated a psychology of the self, the basic theory has undergone many revisions and additions. In the course of broadening from a focus on narcissism and empathy into a general theory of normal and pathological development, self psychology has taken so many different directions that the question can be asked, Does self psychology remain essentially a single theory with different descriptors--a theory of a self-selfobject matrix, a theory of intersubjectivity, a theory of motivational systems, and so on? A concise statement of general principles is intended to contribute to a dialogue between advocates of the views presented here and those who hold different views of theory and practice, within and without self psychology.

Heinz Kohut: His Enduring Influence Today
Abstract:
This paper is an appreciation of Heinz Kohut and his "Self Psychology" , and an attempt to evaluate the impact and evolution of Kohut and his "Self Psychology" to 1994. Heinz Kohut made a decisive break from Freudian drive theory in the mid-1970s, after twenty-five years of clinical and theoretical work at the heart of the American psychoanalytic establishment. Why was it Kohut who made this break? Why then? What has this generated? In sum, signs of new hypothesis generation, creative utilization and integration of self-psychology with other lines of thought are apparent. Evidence suggests that self-psychology's influence has permeated broadly in psychology
