신현근 박사: 자아심리학과 현대정신분석

Ego Psychology vs Modern Psychoanalysis 자아심리학과 현대정신분석 Spotnitz, H (1976) Eco Psychology: Theory and Practice By Gertrude and Rubin Blanck Foreword by: Nathaniel Ross New York: Columbia University Press, 1974 ix + 395 pp Mod Psychoanal , 1:107-109 Neither Kohut nor Kernberg, from whom the Blancks derive their “technique of working with the more severe pathologies [p 6],” discuss this resistance, which presumably explains the authors' failure to formulate an operational concept for dealing with it consistently in these terms This is unfortunate, because the inability to comprehend and resolve narcissistic transference resistance blocks the cure of the severely disturbed patient In psychotherapy, the Blancks state, positive transference is “of greater importance than in psychoanalysis [p 135] ” This statement applies only to therapists who react with anxiety to the manifestation of negative transference because they do not know how to deal with them And in a chapter devoted to the rationale of differentiating psychoanalysis from psychotherapy, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the following statement appears “For some psychotherapy patients regression and fantasying are undesirable, and if patients are found to be subject to these on the couch, they are better treated sitting up [p 129] ” This is correct if the therapist is anxious or if the patient cannot tolerate the couch Having the patient sit up is a way of joining the narcissistic patient's resistance (Spotnitz, 1976, p 109)
