April 3, 2020 — Conceptualization / Treatment Implications

[45 pages]

44 pages of reading.

Socarides, D.D.; Stolorow, R.D. (1984) “Affects and Selfobjects” Ann. Psychoanal., 12:105-119

Socarides and Stolorow in Affects and Selfobjects, bring to our discussion of borderline and narcissistic fragmentation experiences the language of self-psychology and highlight the experience of affect modulation / tolerance. They propose that selfobject functions pertain fundamentally to the affective dimension of self-experience, and that the need for selfobjects pertains to the need for specific responses to varying affect states throughout development; responses that that allow for the differentiating, synthesizing, modulating, and cognitively articulating emergent emotional states and thereby to the overall experience of the “self”.

Robbins, M. (1996) “The Mental Organization of Primitive Personalities and its Treatment Implications”, JAPA, 44(3):755-784

In The Mental Organization of Primitive Personalities and its Treatment Implications, Michael Robbins encourages us to think of more primitive personalities as differing in qualitative rather than quantitative ways and that assumptive errors along these lines lead to technical approaches that may be regressive or promote what Winnicott described as an analysis with the false self.

Both articles propose analytic technique(s) stemming from their unique conceptualizations of mental organization / self-experience. How do these resonate with your experience? Please bring clinical material.
