The Elusive Good Object with Lynne Zeavin at NYPSI
By Categories: EVENTS, Psychoanalysis

NYPSI’s 1028th Scientific Program Meeting: The Elusive Good Object with presenter Lynne Zeavin, Psy.D. and discussant Richard Zimmer, M.D.

The Elusive Good Object Presenter: Lynne Zeavin, Psy.D. Discussant: Richard Zimmer, M.D.

There are two distinct ways in which Melanie Klein writes about idealization. Insofar as she maintains that “The whole of [the infant’s] instinctual desires and his unconscious phantasies imbue the breast with qualities going far beyond the actual nourishment it affords,” and her increasingly stressed conviction that the libidinally invested breast, when introjected, forms ‘the core of the ego’, Klein is suggesting that the original good object must be experienced as ideal. Nothing less than this would adequately address ‘the whole of [the infant’s] instinctual desires.’ In this view, the infant projects his entire loving capacity, as well as his capacity for pleasure, onto the object and this is then introjected, together with the object’s actual goodness, to become his very core.

The Friends of the Brill Library invite you to an evening with Donald Moss, MD, the author of At War with the Obvious: Disruptive Thinking in Psycho-analysis (Routledge, 2017).

The author situates each chapter of At War with the Obvious at the border between common and psychoanalytic sense. Cumulatively, the book argues that in order for psychoanalysis to retain its original vitality, it must continuously work against becoming “common sensical”.Common sense – clinical and cultural – almost invariably obscures the uncommon/unconscious determinants that would expose its insufficiencies. The most pointed expression of this border tension may be in the chapter, “The Insane Look of the Bewildered Half-Broken Animal.”

Copies of the book will be made available for purchase for $35 at the event.

Donald Moss, MD is a faculty member of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, and is in private practice in New York City. He is also a member of the Green Gang, a four-person collective that studies the relationships between the human and non-human environments. He is currently the Continue reading Meet the Author: Donald Moss at NYPSI

SHE CAN’T SAY “NO”

The powerful challenges of treating a middle-aged, self-effacing, masochistic woman who tended to be a doormat in relationships will be described with a focus on the many trials such a treatment presented. The therapy lasted for two and a half years with a disappointing outcome and illustrates the dyad’s enactments and some of the difficulties of working with a highly defended, “neurotic” patient.
