HANS LOEWALD AND THE EMERGENCE OF CONTEMPORARY FREUDIAN PSYCHOANALYSIS
Instructor: Seymour Moskovitz, PhD WEDNESDAYS, January 30, February 6,13,20,27 March 6, 13, 20 @8-930 pm, IPTAR Conference Room
This eight-week course will examine Hans Loewald’s writings and their influence on contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. Loewald’s role as both an extender and modifier of tradition, a “radical conservative,” will be explored. While firmly rooted in Freudian theory and the structural model, Loewald’s work will be viewed as providing a platform for considering interaction with others as constitutive of mind. Loewald’s seminal contributions to our understanding of psychic reality, internalization, object relations, memory, language, the Oedipus Complex, and sublimation will be examined, with particular attention to his theory of therapeutic action, adding the analyst as new object to traditional views of transference and repetition. The seminar will include both original papers by Loewald, along with appraisals, appreciations, and critiques of his work by major contemporary theorists. Original unpublished correspondence from the Loewald archives will be used to highlight and enrich our understanding of the historical context of his contribution.
