Reviews Freud's case study in obsessionalism, >The Rat Man<, and discusses the positions on aggression held by M. Klein, D. W. Winnicott, and E. FROMM. It is suggested that aggression as instinct, reaction, or embedded in individuation has theoretical and clinical reality. The degree of health or pathology in aggressive experience is seen as a function of previously learned patterns and innovation in current interpersonal experience. Destruction is viewed as a pathological aggressive expression of any level of development.
Discussion of E. Menaker, >Acts of Will: The Life and Work of Otto Rank< by E. James Lieberman
(1986)
The author gives students of the Interpersonal approach (to psychoanalysis) an understanding of how Interpersonal psychoanalysis came to be and how its tenets evolved from the particular histories of the early Interpersonalists, histories that were shaped by the cultures of the countries these analysts came from, by world events, and by individual family backgrounds. He (argues that) the understanding of Interpersonal theory and technique is enlivened and enriched by some acquaintance with the varied personal and professional experiences of those analysts who are generally considered the pioneers of the Interpersonal tradition in psychoanalysis: Harry Stack Sullivan (1892-1949), Sandor Ferenczi (1873-1933), Clara Thompson (1893-1958), Erich FROMM (1900-1980), Frieda FROMM-Reichmann (1889-1957), Karen Horney (1885-1952).
