Why was Stephen Mitchell interested in Hans Loewald? (ChatGPT, 2024-10-17)
Stephen Mitchell, a central figure in the development of relational psychoanalysis, was deeply influenced by Hans Loewald for several reasons, primarily due to Loewald’s innovative approach to psychoanalytic theory and practice. Mitchell saw Loewald as an important bridge between classical psychoanalysis and the more relational, intersubjective models that Mitchell himself would go on to champion.
Here’s why Mitchell was interested in Loewald:
1. Relational Dynamics and Intersubjectivity:
One of Loewald’s key contributions was his emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a dynamic and mutual interaction between the analyst and patient. Loewald moved away from the traditional, one-person model of psychoanalysis, where the analyst remains a detached observer, and instead saw the analyst as actively engaged in shaping the patient’s experience. This aligned closely with Mitchell’s own focus on relational psychoanalysis, which stresses the mutual influence and co-construction of experiences within the therapeutic relationship. Mitchell appreciated Loewald’s idea that transformation in therapy emerges from this relational engagement.
2. Transformation in the Therapeutic Process:
Loewald’s concept of the therapeutic process as a transformative experience was central to his work. He viewed psychoanalysis not merely as a method to uncover repressed material but as an opportunity to transform the patient’s psychic structure. Mitchell found this appealing because it emphasized psychic growth and development, aligning with his own belief in the transformative potential of therapy. Mitchell admired Loewald’s idea that psychoanalytic work could lead to a more integrated and authentic self, rather than simply resolving symptoms or conflicts.
3. Integration of Classical and Contemporary Psychoanalytic Thought:
Loewald’s work served as a bridge between Freudian drive theory and object relations theory, as well as more contemporary ideas about intersubjectivity. He did not reject classical theory but reframed it in a way that allowed for greater flexibility and integration with new developments in psychoanalysis. Mitchell was attracted to this integrative approach because his own work sought to reconcile classical psychoanalysis with newer relational perspectives. Loewald’s work provided a model for how one could honor the insights of the past while also moving beyond their limitations.
4. Developmental Perspective and the Role of Language:
Loewald’s emphasis on language and communication as central to psychic development resonated with Mitchell. Loewald saw the process of becoming conscious, and thus achieving psychic integration, as fundamentally tied to language, relationships, and communication. For Mitchell, who was deeply interested in how early relational experiences shape psychic development, Loewald’s ideas provided a sophisticated framework for thinking about the interaction between the internal world and interpersonal relationships.
5. A New Understanding of the Unconscious:
Mitchell was also interested in Loewald’s reconceptualization of the unconscious. Loewald saw the unconscious not just as a repository of repressed desires and conflicts, as Freud had, but as a dynamic, creative aspect of the psyche that is in continuous dialogue with consciousness. This aligned with Mitchell’s relational view of the mind, where the unconscious is not a static place but a realm actively shaped by interactions with others and the social world. Loewald’s view supported Mitchell’s vision of a more fluid, interconnected understanding of the mind.
6. Human Growth and Potential:
Both Mitchell and Loewald were deeply interested in the human capacity for growth and change. Loewald’s optimistic view that individuals could achieve a greater sense of vitality and integration through therapeutic work paralleled Mitchell’s emphasis on the importance of human potential. Mitchell saw Loewald as a theorist who offered a hopeful vision of psychoanalysis, one that centered on creativity, transformation, and relational connection.
In summary, Stephen Mitchell was drawn to Hans Loewald because Loewald’s ideas offered a relational and transformative perspective on psychoanalysis. Loewald’s work, which blended classical psychoanalytic concepts with more modern, developmental, and relational ideas, resonated with Mitchell’s own efforts to reimagine psychoanalysis as a field focused on mutual engagement, growth, and the co-construction of psychic life within relationships.
What’s Hans Loewald’s contribution to psychoanalysis? And what’s the significance of his learning from Heidegger in making his contribution to psychoanalysis? （ChatGPT, 2024-10-17)
Hans Loewald (1906–1993)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Loewald
Loewald was born in Colmar, then Germany. His father, who died shortly after his birth, was a Jewish physician with an interest in dermatology and psychiatry; his mother was a gifted musician, who played the piano. Loewald did medical training in Germany - where he also studied philosophy with Martin Heidegger, who would influence him with his theory of language[2] - before taking a medical degree from Rome University in 1935.[3] He practiced psychiatry in Italy until 1939, before moving with his family to the United States.[4] There he became fascinated by Freud's theory, in which he rooted all the features of his own thinking. He did not want to create a new psychoanalytic terminology, but, although he used Freud's terms, he gave them radically new meanings.

Q: Why was Stephen Mitchell interested in Hans Loewald?
Hans Loewald is regarded as one of the most significant psychoanalytic theorists of the 20th century, particularly for his efforts to synthesize traditional psychoanalysis with contemporary philosophical ideas. His contributions are noteworthy in the areas of developmental theory, the therapeutic process, and the nature of the unconscious.
Key Contributions:
1. Reconceptualizing Freud’s Theory of Internalization:
Loewald rethought Freud’s model of internalization, the process through which external experiences and relationships become internal mental structures. He suggested that internalization is not just about incorporating external objects (such as parental figures) into the psyche but involves a more complex dynamic process. This helps integrate the conscious and unconscious aspects of the mind, promoting psychic growth and transformation.
2. Object Relations and the Role of Language:
He placed significant emphasis on the development of the mind in relation to others (object relations theory), and how language mediates these relationships. Loewald saw language as crucial in transforming unconscious processes into conscious thought, allowing for greater mental integration.
3. Therapeutic Process:
Loewald advanced a view of psychoanalytic therapy as a transformative process. He argued that the analyst-client relationship should not be seen as a neutral, detached engagement but rather as an interaction that could create new psychological realities for the patient. This interaction, when successful, reactivates the processes of internalization and integration that may have been disrupted in earlier development.
4. The Unconscious:
He conceptualized the unconscious not simply as a reservoir of repressed instincts but as a more dynamic and generative force, integral to the vitality and creativity of the psyche. He viewed the process of becoming conscious as a gradual differentiation between conscious and unconscious mental life, rather than a sharp split.
Influence of Heidegger:
Hans Loewald’s engagement with Martin Heidegger’s existential philosophy had a profound influence on his psychoanalytic thought, particularly in relation to the following aspects:
1. Being and Time:
Loewald’s view of the unconscious as a dynamic force was partly shaped by Heidegger’s notions of time and being. In Heidegger’s philosophy, time is not a linear sequence of events but an existential structure through which human beings experience their existence. Loewald incorporated this idea into psychoanalysis by viewing psychic life as evolving over time, where the past, present, and future are not separate but interconnected. This understanding of temporality enriched his view of internalization and psychic development.
2. Authenticity and Human Existence:
Heidegger’s focus on authenticity and the nature of human existence influenced Loewald’s thinking on the development of the self. For Loewald, psychoanalysis is not merely a method of resolving symptoms but a path toward a more authentic existence, where unconscious processes are integrated into a fuller, more dynamic sense of self.
3. Bridging the Gap Between the Past and the Present:
Heidegger’s influence helped Loewald challenge the classical psychoanalytic tendency to view the unconscious as stuck in the past. Instead, Loewald saw the unconscious as something that is alive in the present and capable of transformation. This allowed him to approach therapeutic work as a creative and forward-moving process, not just a recovery of past traumas.
In summary, Loewald’s contribution to psychoanalysis was to rethink the nature of the unconscious and the therapeutic process in ways that were more fluid, developmental, and focused on integration. Heidegger’s existential philosophy helped him shift from a static, deterministic view of the psyche to a more dynamic, evolving understanding of human mental life.

Negativity vs Vitality: The Last Chapter of the Psychology of the Self (否定生命抑或禮讚生命： 自體的心理學的最後一章)
Abstract:
自體的心理學，緣自自體心理學，非僅止于自體心理學。基于自體的心理學的心理治療，就是五合一，回到自然，回到歷史，存在治療，批判的心理治療，後結構主義的心理治療。這個自體，走過一百三十七億年前的宇宙生成，物的誕生，四十六億年前的太陽地球形成，三十億年前，生命的誕生，以至生命演化，以至五點四億年前的寒武紀大爆發，以至人類作為物種，七百萬年前從猩猩分支歧出，以至五至十萬年前，智人走出非洲，以至走過更新世，漫長的石器時代，開花結果于舊石器時代晚期，以至來到全新世，以至離開營火洞穴的狩獵採集，開始農業文明，以至來到銅器時代，鐵器時代，以至文字的誕生，以至軸心時代，以至三百年前的工業革命，以至來到人類世的今日。上述這個漫長的旅程 （物
—> 生命 —> 意識 —> 自覺意識），從宇宙誕生，到原子生成，到星系形成，到生命居然在宜居帶的行星地球，奇蹟般的發生，到走過五次物種滅絕的壯麗演化，到人種開始歧出，人類與其他眾生歧出的關鍵是，人類有自覺意識（所謂意識的演化，意思是說，眾生有意識，但唯人有自覺意識）。自覺意識，就是我的誕生，就是認同的誕生，就是末那識的誕生，就是我執的誕生。此前無所謂否定，一切都是禮讚，此後則否定大于禮讚。簡單講，N vs V，節點如下，自覺意識是 N>V，鐵器時代是 N>>V，軸心時代是 N>>>V，工業革命是 N>>>>V，人類世是 N>>>>>V。而自覺意識之起，就是惡的誕生，意思是說，此後惡大于善，每況愈下。至此，你可以理解，自體的心理學，的最後一章，是排山倒海的 N，和奄奄一息的 V。但是，這時，那個人，猶願 V > N，意思是說，死不足畏，生大于死。意思是說，猶願禮讚生命 （affirmation of life)。禮讚的路，就是車行 （van life) 的路，就是自由的路。此時，自體的心理學的心理治療，就是菊次郎十六式，就是巖中花樹療法，就是船子擺渡療法，就是無心無意，被事件事件。

Foucault defines Dispositif in his 1977 "The Confession of the Flesh" interview, in response to question, "What is the meaning or methodological function for you of this term, apparatus (dispositif)?"
- "What I'm trying to pick out with this term is, firstly, a thoroughly heterogeneous ensemble consisting of discourses, institutions, architectural forms, regulatory decisions, laws, administrative measures, scientific statements, philosophical, moral and philanthropic propositions–in short, the said as much as the unsaid. Such are the elements of the apparatus. The apparatus itself is the system of relations that can be established between these elements."[2][3]

Terrorism and Tyranny: Trampling Freedom, Justice, and Peace to Rid the World of Evil First (James Bovard, 2015)
James Bovard has written for The Wall Street Journal, Playboy, the American Spectator, The New York Times, Reader's Digest, The New Republic, The Washington Post and Newsweek. He is one of Washington's most controversial journalists.
James Bovard (b 1956)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bovard
Bibliography
- The Farm Fiasco. ICS Press, 1989. ISBN 1558150013 Reason magazine declared, "Over the past few years Bovard, in a series of newspaper and magazine articles, has contributed more than anyone to the public's understanding of our farm program madness. With this book, he presents the ultimate Everyman's defense of a free market in agriculture."[13] The Washington Post noted, "Although [The Farm Fiasco] may sound like a critique of Soviet farm policy, in fact it is American programs at which James Bovard has taken aim."[14]
- Fair Trade Fraud: How Congress Pillages the Consumer and Decimates American Competitiveness. Palgrave Macmillan. 1992. ISBN 0312083440. A Wall Street Journal review declared, "Bovard offers a smashing condemnation of American trade policy and exposes the corrupt core of protectionism and the absurdity of Congress making trade more 'fair' by making it less 'free'. ... (shows) how arbitrary and ultimately counterproductive and restrictive our trade practices are."[15]
- Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty. Palgrave Macmillan. 1995. ISBN 0312123337. A Wall Street Journal review declared, "Bovard's unrivaled research has resulted in a virtual encyclopedia of modern government abuse."[16] The American Spectator declared, "A remarkable book – 400 densely packed pages about the mounting war on property and contract, the tyranny of taxation, and the growth of federal power in the guise of expanding our rights. In this field, Bovard is surely the leading researcher in the country.... brilliant."[17]In a 1998 Vanity Fair article on "Shredding the Bill of Rights," novelist Gore Vidal quoted extensively from the book, "In James Bovard's 1994 book, Lost Rights, the author has assembled a great deal of material on just what our law enforcers are up to in the never-to-be-won wars against Drugs and Terrorism, as they do daily battle with the American people in their homes and cars, on buses and planes, indeed, wherever they can get at them, by hook or by crook or by sting."[18] A 2012 National Review article declared, "Lost Rights exposé of the threat posed by an emerging bureaucratic police state remains a true classic."[19] The book won the 1995 Mencken Award for Best Book. [20]
- (1996) Shakedown
- Freedom in Chains: The Rise of the State and the Demise of the Citizen. Palgrave Macmillan. 2000. ISBN 0312229674. The Los Angeles Times labeled Freedom in Chains "a chilling indictment of the U.S. government."[21] The Wall Street Journal declared, "Never has so much theoretical error and concrete folly been collected and juxtaposed so well under a single cover. Mr. Bovard consistently illuminates the connection between faulty political ideals and specific policy disasters."[9] Publishers Weekly declared, "Bovard is well-read and makes entertaining use of Rousseau, Hegel, Hobbes (he's very fond of Leviathan) and other thinkers. He's also consistent and intellectually honest enough to follow his own ideology to its logical conclusion about, for instance, marijuana (legalize it, he says). Few readers will agree with Bovard that the dominant spirit in America today is one that idolizes the state, but most will find that he makes a rousing theoretical case against statism."[22]
- Feeling Your Pain: The Explosion and Abuse of Government Power in the Clinton-Gore Years. Palgrave Macmillan. 2001. ISBN 031224052X. A Wall Street Journal review declared, "Feeling Your Pain is an eloquent and blistering indictment of the politicians and bureaucrats who, armed with taxpayer dollars and the coercive power of law, have done so much damage to individual lives, and society at large, in recent years."[23] Insight Magazine commented, "In his powerful new book 'feeling your pain,' free-lance investigative reporter James Bovard takes on the whole eight years of the Clinton/Gore era and details the administration's misuse of power and its enormously successful effort to expand the role of government in our lives."[24][25]
- Terrorism and Tyranny: Trampling Freedom, Justice, and Peace to Rid the World of Evil. Palgrave Macmillan. 2003. ISBN 1403966826. A Boston Globereview declared ""Terrorism and Tyranny is a scathing account of the war on terrorism... Bovard is a bipartisan scourge... His lively fury at government incompetence keeps the pages turning quickly... Most riveting."[26] Publishers Weekly declared, "Journalist Bovard, who has written for the 'Wall Street Journal' and The American Spectator, among others, looks at the post–September 11 policies and actions of the government and finds them sorely lacking.... Meticulously documented from contemporary news accounts, this rant against Bush's "aura of righteousness" may well leave readers as angry as its author."[27] 'The Washington Times' declared, "The author has synthesized and organized a vast amount of information, yet he presents it in an accessible, reader-friendly way. It is rare to read such a well-documented study that flows so smoothly.... Terrorism and Tyranny" is a timely, troubling book, exhaustively and impeccably researched and documented."[28] The Washington Post noted, "The controversial author of Feeling Your Pain takes on Bush, the war with Iraq and the official drive to protect 'the homeland.'"[29]
- The Bush Betrayal. Palgrave Macmillan. 2004. ISBN 1403968519. Publishers Weekly declared, "Writing from a libertarian perspective, Bovard (Terrorism and Tyranny, etc.) offers a fierce critique of the presidency of George W. Bush, focusing on restrictions on liberty and expansion of government.... It is notable as a comprehensive attack on the administration from a less-often-heard place on the political spectrum."[30] An American Conservative review declared, "With the thoroughly researched and footnoted style that has become his forte, and with the heavy doses of relevant anecdotes and dry humor that have become his trademarks, the author has compiled a virtual almanac of American political abuse."[31]
- Attention Deficit Democracy. Palgrave Macmillan. 2006. ISBN 1403971080.The American Conservative declared, "In nine books and hundreds of articles, the libertarian muckraker James Bovard has returned repeatedly to three themes: government repression, government incompetence, and government deceit. All three go under the microscope in his newest tome, Attention Deficit Democracy, but the focus is on the deceit-and, even more, on the deceived."[32]Publishers Weekly declared, "Bovard describes problems in painstaking detail.... those looking for a rousing refresher on the merits of skepticism will find it here in spades."[33]
