	Archival Description of Psychoanalytic Psychology
		Psychoanalytic psychology is a specialty of professional psychology distinguished by its body of knowledge and methods of treatment.
		These include courses and seminars in which attention is paid to theory building in psychoanalysis and the specific contents of the psychoanalytic personality theories: traditional Freudian theory, the British school of object relations, contemporary theories of the construction of the self and its disorders, and ego psychology focusing on patterns of normal development.
		Psychoanalytic training includes a focus on current controversies that exist in the specialty, along with completion of supervision and a personal training analysis that provides rich knowledge about the use of the psychoanalytic psychologist's self as tool in the work to be done.

	Psychoanalytic theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychoanalytic theory is a general term for approaches to psychoanalysis which attempt to provide a conceptual framework more-or-less independent of clinical practice rather than based on empirical analysis of clinical cases.
		The term often attaches to conceptual uses of analysis in critical theory, literary, film, or other art criticism, broader intersubjective phenomena (for example, those broadly conceived as "cultural" or "social" in nature), religion, law, or other non-clinical contexts, sometimes signifying its use as a hermeneutic or interpretative framework.
		Theory can be so expansive a container as to include the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, who believed psychoanalysis ultimately radically reductionist and strongly opposed the psychiatric institutions of their time.

	Psychoanalysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Today psychoanalytic ideas are imbedded in the culture, especially in childcare, education, literary criticism, and in psychiatry, particularly medical and non-medical psychotherapy.
		Psychoanalytic constructs can be adapted and modified to both age and managed care through the use of play therapy such as art therapy, creative writing, Sand Tray Therapy, storytelling, bibliotherapy, and analytical psychodrama.
		Psychoanalytic theory will be applied in more preventative ways, such as educating parents on how to best meet the needs of the child and enhance the child's development and growth.

	The IJPA - Discussion paper
		Psychoanalytic psychotherapy utilises interpretation, but with patients with severe psychopathology, for many of whom this is the treatment of choice, clarification and confrontation occupy a significantly larger space than interpretation per se, and interpretations of unconscious meanings in the ‘here and now’ a larger space than interpretation in the ‘there and then’.
		Psychoanalytic psychotherapy thus does not dilute the ‘gold’ of psychoanalysis with the ‘copper’ of support, but maintains an essentially psychoanalytic technique geared to analyse unconscious conflicts activated in the transference within a modified framework, spelled out and explicitly agreed to by the patient in advance.
		Like psychoanalytic psychotherapy, supportive psychotherapy is carried out in ‘face-to-face’ sessions, and has the advantage of considerable flexibility regarding its frequency, from several sessions per week, to one session a week, or one or two sessions per month, according to the urgency of the patient’s present difficulties and the long-range objectives of the treatment.

		Winnicott's theory is especially innovative regarding his conceptualization of the psychic space between the mother and infant, neither wholly psychological or physical, which he termed the "holding environment" and which allows for the child's transition to being more autonomous.
		Psychoanalytic theory, historically, has based its findings on the clinical observations of persons who are suffering from some kind of psychological disorder.
		The influence of humanistic theory is particularly evident in Kohut's Self Psychology, which melds together psychoanalytic and humanistic approaches of theory and practice.

	Doug Davis: A Theory for the 90s
		The pre-psychoanalytic theory of traumatic etiology was a significant advance in epidemiological thinking and remains an important model for studying the effects of early emotional experience on personality development and adult psychopathology.
		The early theory claimed to have identified the distinctive (logically necessary) cause of the common neuroses, while the second claims to be a universal psychology of personality development.
		This new theory reassessed the relative contributions of hereditary and of early environmental causes of psychopathology (Freud, 1896a) and specified the childhood erotic experiences which were precursors to the adult neurosis (Freud, 1895, 1896a, 1896b, 1896c, 1898).

	Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Developmental Psychology - APA Books
		Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Developmental Psychology explores the growing areas of mutual influence between psychoanalytic theory and the study of human development--the impact of object relations theory on the study of infant-caretaker attachment being only one significant example.
		The empirical research examined in the volume highlights the expansion of psychoanalytic theory from infant and child development to a life span view, recognizing important developmental milestones throughout adolescence and adulthood and into the realm of aging.
		The book's contributors extend psychoanalytic theory into a variety of areas: mother-infant interaction, the evolving concept of "illusory mental health," the function of cognition and affect in creativity, and the increasingly clear role of hostility in suicide among younger and older adults.

	Major Themes & Assumptions of Psychoanalytic Theory
		Firstly, it is important to understand that psychoanalytic theory was not designed as a personality theory per se.
		In addition, psychoanalytic theory provided a new approach to psychotherapy, thus it provided new treatment techniques for psychological problems that had previously puzzled doctors and others.
		Unlike other personality theories, the psychoanalytic theory is relatively cohesive (e.g., the Biological Theory consists of many different, separate ideas, models and theories).

	INTRODUCTION - PSYCHOANALYTIC AESTHETICS: THE BRITISH SCHOOL BY NICOLA GLOVER
		Although he has ingeniously applied an aspect of psychoanalytic theory of erotogenic zones to aesthetic enjoyment and preference, he counters this by saying that there are many ways of appreciating the 'soft' and the 'crunchy'.
		One of his main contentions is that most attempts to apply psychoanalytic theory to aesthetics have suffered from a tendency to equate psychoanalysis with one or two isolated remarks from Freud's early work, namely to equate art with neurosis.
		Their theories are also well-equipped to address the nature of the aesthetic encounter and the artist's interchange with his medium.

		Through his extensive work with patients and through his theory building, he showed that factors which influence thought and action exist outside of awareness, that unconscious conflict plays a part in determining both normal and abnormal behavior, and that the past shapes the present.
		It is, in addition, a method for learning about the mind, and also a theory, a way of understanding the processes of normal everyday mental functioning and the stages of normal development from infancy to old age.
		As a general theory of individual human behavior and experience, psychoanalytic ideas enrich and are enriched by the study of the biological and social sciences, group behavior, history, philosophy, art, and literature.

	Finlay (background) - Post-Modernizing Psychoanalysis / Psychoanalyzing Post-Modernity Before Emancipation
		Psychoanalytical discourse, to do so, would have to venture into the realm of ontology -- the nature of being of things such as the subject, and the realm of -- epistemology -- the study of how we know things, such as how psychoanalysis can know the subject.
		His theory grows out of this clinical practice of discourse, to elaborate an alternative to the post-modern theory of the subject in discourse and in history on the basis of clinical discursive practice.
		The genius of Winnicott's practice and theory of psychoanalytical discourse lies in the fact that it did not refuse the observations of post-modernism concerning the nature of the subject and discourse.

	Psychoanalytic Theory Handout - Literary Schools Of Criticism
		The purpose of psychoanalytic criticism is to show that literature is structured by complex and contradictory human desires and power relations, not just by authors’ spontaneous ideas.
		One type of Psychoanalytic theory simply tries to determine the psychological factors that determine the behavior of characters and thus the plot of the novel.
		Another, more complex type of psychoanalytic theory seeks to determine not only the psychological motivations of characters, but also the motivations of the author in determining the psychological make up of each character.

		Although Freud's theories were at first disputed, his work became the foundation for treating psychiatric disorders by psychoanalysis.

	FREUD.LEC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Freud believed, and many people after him believe, that his theories about how the mind worked uncovered some basic truths about how an individual self is formed, and how culture and civilization operate.
		Psychoanalytic literary criticism--or at least the kind that's based on Freud's ideas--often fits better with the humanist models of literary production than with the structuralist and post-structuralist models.
		They take place roughly between the ages of 2 to 5, though Freud was often revising his estimate of the ages when these stages occurred; later psychoanalysts argue that the oral stage begins soon after birth, with the first experience of nursing, and that the phallic stage ends somewhere between ages 3 to 5.

		The article "Transference, Schema, and Assimilation: The Relevance of Piaget to the Psychoanalytic Theory of Transference", by Paul Wachtel, was published on The Annual of psychoanalysis, 1981, 8, 59-76, and reprinted in "Action and Insight", by Paul Wachtel, 1987, New York: Guilford Press.
		Both theories suggest that man is not stimulus-bound, that he does not just reflexly respond to external stimuli, but rather selectively organizes and makes sense of new input in terms of the experiences and structures which define who he is.
		I regard as soundly based on clinical observation such central psychoanalytic tenets as that patients regularly show rather substantial distortions in their perceptions of the analyst; that such distortions are personally meaningful and related to the person's history; and that they are in important ways the product of unconscious conflicts and fantasies.

		The course will examine a theory in relation to the work that preceded it, and indicate what future theoretical developments are hinted at, or allowed for, by the theory under examination.
		It comprises the radical core of psychoanalysis, an inner nucleus supplemented, but never surpassed, by all subsequent theory." These are the words of the course instructors who teach Freud's original model of the mind not as dead history, but as a living text and conceptualization from which springs their own understanding of the human mind.
		We turn our attention in the development of psychoanalytic theory to what are known as Freud's "metapsychological papers." On the way to the structural theory, Freud examined narcissism and its ancillary topics: narcissistic erotism, paranoia, sadism, masochism and melancholia.

	WINNICOTT'S POTENTIAL SPACES: USING PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		What I hope to do here is provide an overview of how the psychoanalytic theory of D. Winnicott may offer fresh insight into the crises of the subject in the late twentieth century.
		In his theory of creativity then, Winnicott allows for and demands that the full weight of environmental factors be considered in the development of the subject.
		While the psychoanalytic insights into language, for example, that presently dominate our studies have provided many insights into the nature of communication and of the subject in general, I believe that we have thus far addressed only a part of a much more complex experience.

	lit theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Theory, by and large, reconnects literature with other areas of knowledge, not to find 'the meaning' of the text (which is largely what old criticism tried to do) but to explore the cross-currents between, for example, fictions and psychoanalysis, capitalism and realism, sexuality and writing, perception and literary form.
		This is a practical theory course, and the main aim is to acquire the skills necessary to begin applying theory to the study of literature.
		Freud’s theories of identity and consciousness are very much concerned with the body and with family relations - the body becomes a primary irreducible site, and gender is largely constructed from the body or through terms derived from the body.

	FAIRBAIRN'S STRUCTURAL THEORY
		The theory of structure is the key issue in defining psychoanalysis in general, and in distinguishing between psychoanalytic theories in particular.
		Virtually all psychoanalytic theories have accepted a metaphor for psychic growth which has been borrowed from biology: growth is defined as movement through progressive levels of structural differentiation and complexity.
		The upshot of Fairbairn's theory is that healthy development is not dependent upon the establishment of endopsychic structures, but rather that such internal structural differentiation is a clearly pathological, albeit unavoidable, schizoid phenomenon which, to varying extents, diminishes the functioning of all human beings.
