April 25, 2022 — American Independent Psychoanalysis: Being Centered Upon
[10 pages]
Loewald is one of the most beautiful and thoughtful writers in the analytic cannon. Donna Orange, also a good writer, swoops through some of Loewald’s most famous writing. Loewald’s ideas on internalization (very developmentally based) address some of the most important psychological processes around dealing with loss and growth. In one of my favorite passages in analytic literature he says, “The child begins to experience himself as a centered unit by being centered upon.” *
