This paper reviews the major publications on direct analysis, examines the events that brought it into contact with a hostile mass media, and reassesses the contribution of the approach to psychotherapy. With certain reservations, Rosen is adjudged to have been an outstanding clinician who pre-empted modern attitudes to the treatment of psychotic individuals, but the theoretical basis of his work, about which his closest collaborators were tellingly unable to fully agree, fails to provide an adequate account of how it helped those who were mentally ill.}, language = {en} } @article{Bacciagaluppi, author = {Bacciagaluppi, Marco}, title = {Aggressiveness and violence in Bowlby and Fromm.

This preliminary paper reports the major findings of an extensive data gathering project in China that gives us a basic outline of the trends in the reception of Fromm. We conducted several literature searches between June 2012 and May 2013 using different online databases, mostly China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database KNS (CNKI). This paper offers a categorization of the more than 800 contributions of Chinese authors, discusses the most important results, compares Fromm's very extensive reception in China to other countries and makes suggestions for future projects. While we initially expected Fromm to be invoked for criticism of Western capitalism, his views on how to cope with >the predicaments of modern man< are mostly used to underpin critical comments on mismanagement in China itself. In this way Fromm is used as a source of inspiration and creativity in theoretical matters as well as in practical questions, and also to comment on the spiritual and emotional development of the individual in modern China. There are, furthermore, extensive Chinese debates on Fromm's concepts of >social character<, >the nature of man<, >escape from freedom<, >alienation<, >Marxism as humanism< and >the art of love< and there is an interesting reception of Fromm's concepts of psychoanalysis and social psychology in literature and art studies. Fromm's humanistic and humanistic-ethical contributions are particularly appreciated with reference to their importance for theory and practice - even though there is a fair amount of criticism of Fromm in China as well.}, language = {en} } @article{Zimmer, author = {Zimmer, Manfred}, title = {Erich Fromm in China.

His reconstructions of his first three years of life, reported in his letters of October 1897 to Wilhelm Fliess, are subject to their own reconstruction. He had just repudiated seduction trauma as an exclusive etiology of psychopathology. Freud was then in the throes of an intense transference-countertransference relationship with Fliess, with reactivated unconscious conflict and developmental challenge. The reconstructions of his nursemaid, of his reactions to the birth and death of his first sibling, and of seeing his mother >nudam< require re-evaluation and revision in the context of contemporary psychoanalytic theory and new knowledge. While the specific reconstructions are of continuing interest, the methodology of analytic inquiry into early childhood and parenting transcends the inevitable limitations of the infancy of psychoanalysis. The concept of reconstruction potentiated the development of psychoanalytic thought, although with recurrent controversy, especially concerning retrospective meaning, psychic reality, and historical reality.}, language = {en} } @misc{Bollas, author = {Bollas, Christopher}, title = {An Interview with Arne Jemstedt}, series = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 24 (No. 3, 2015), pp. 182-188.}, journal = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 24 (No. 3, 2015), pp. 182-188.}, language = {en} } @article{Bolognini, author = {Bolognini, Stefano}, title = {The opening address of the President of the IPA to the symposium participants}, series = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 24 (No. 1, 2015), pp. 10-11.}, journal = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 24 (No. 1, 2015), pp. 10-11.}, abstract = {The opening address highlights the themes of beginnings, separations, and continuities and their various permutations, as they relate to the life of Sigmund Freud, and to the human condition in general.}, language = {en} }
