Until now, the narrative tradition has been the main methodology for portraying and formulating human action and interaction, and little has been written about the dramatic approach to life, disorder, and therapy. Since the essence of drama is action, dialogue, character, and emotion, it is time to give drama its due. The author proposes a methodological concept - dramatology - analogous to narratology, to highlight the dramatic method of investigating action and interaction in life, disorder, and therapy. Breuer and Freud presented both aspects of dramatology: dramatization in dream and fantasy, and dramatization in act, focusing on the person. This approach was elaborated by psychoanalysts with an interpersonal orientation, focusing on the person and speech as action. Dramatology is applied to exploring ongoing patient-therapist interactions as reality and as transference. Analyzing unconscious and latent dramatization in dream, fantasy, and enactment with free association is enhanced by utilizing clarification and confrontation, focusing on the manifest and mutually observable expressive form and style of actions and enactments, defenses and resistances, and the discharge and meaning of emotions. Dramatology puts forward a new paradigm for psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis.}, language = {en} } @article{Lothane, author = {Lothane, Zvi}, title = {The analysand and analyst team practicing reciprocal free association: Defenders and deniers}, series = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 19 (No. 3, 2010), pp. 155-164.}, journal = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 19 (No. 3, 2010), pp. 155-164.}, abstract = {By 1900, Freud had formulated an original and operational method of psychoanalytic treatment and research: the technique of free association.

In recent years, free association as a method has been variously misrepresented, misunderstood, and denied by some schools of psychoanalysis.

It focuses on the two basic modes of communication in any dramatic situation: (1) the nonverbal transfer of feelings and emotions, originating in the preverbal period of the love relationship between mother and child, and (2) the interchange of words and thoughts that develops with the acquisition of language. The early nonverbal mode of communication is the basis for proposing to rename Freud's concept of psychic reality >emotional reality.< On this view, emotional reality is seen as the primary fact of psychological life versus thoughts expressed in words as the derivative fact. Developmentally, emotions and ideas become united in complexes combining the emotional coloration of ideas and the ideational content of emotions. From the perspective of methodology, Freud, his followers, and his critics all conflated theories of disorder and theories of treatment. At the beginning of his journey, Freud was dyadic and interpersonal in formulating a unified theory of disorder and a method of treatment. In later years, he formulated monadic and intrapersonal theories of disorder while remaining interpersonal in his method of treatment, contributing to conflicts among the various psychoanalytic schools.}, language = {en} } @article{Lothane, author = {Lothane, Henry Zvi}, title = {Sabina Spielrein's Siegfried and other myths facts versus fictions}, series = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 24 (No. 1, 2016), pp. 40-49.}, journal = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 24 (No. 1, 2016), pp. 40-49.}, abstract = {Sabina Spielrein's life events became known to posterity through a private correspondence with Freud and Jung, and through her diaries.

Furthermore, the alleged >scandal< was no public matter: it turned out to be no more than a personal quarrel.

The narratives of Schreber father and son were misdescribed, misdiagnosed, and misinterpreted, errors have been uncritically copied by commentators ever since. Freud's theory of homosexuality as a cause of paranoia has not stood the test of time. In 1963 Niederland himself stated that the data he collected on Schreber father and son do not explain Schreber's second illness. A further misconception was to totalize both Schreber as person and the content of his book as psychotic, controverted by the fact that Schreber recovered by 1897 and the book is a creative essay with a profound moral message. Schreber's hermaphroditic fantasies were neither homosexual desires toward psychiatrist Flechsig nor morbid delusions but images of an identification with or compassion for his wife who suffered repeated miscarriages and stillbirths. The author revisits the description, diagnosis, dynamics, and deontology of Schreber's story from the perspective of dramatology and narratology and adds new information and insights.
