The Idea of the Past: History, Science, and Practice in American Psychoanalysis (Psychoanalytic Crossroads, 1) - Softcover
The advancement of psychoanalysis in America has reached an impasse. Scientists are pitted against hermeneuticists, theorists against practitioners, and narrative truth against historical truth, reflecting and refracting the role of the past in theory and therapy through a host of competing approaches. Leonard Lamm argues against the impossible task of unifying psychoanalysis into a homogenous discourse, proposing instead the acceptance of a pluralist model in which different modes of discourse are applicable and appropriate in different circumstances.
This innovative work sets out to unravel the opaque idea of the psychoanalytic past as expressed in countless theoretical voices, from object relations to Lacanianism to ego psychology. Dr. Lamm redraws the map of American psychoanalytic argument and takes a fresh look at current debates on narrative truth, metapsychology, and the role of the past in psychoanalysis.
A thoughtful model emerges in which historical, scientific, and practical discourses and constructions of the past do not compose a hierarchy in psychoanalytic understanding. Instead, they are voices in a conversation in which they may differ without disagreeing.

About the Author:
Leonard Jonathan Lamm received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the New School for Social Research. He also holds advanced degrees from Princeton and the University of London. Prior to his work in psychoanalysis and psychology, Dr. Lamm taught political theory at the University of Texas at Austin. He practices in New York City.
Review:
"Combines a clinician's shrewd understanding of the realities of psychotherapy and a scholar's pleasure in tracing the intricacies of psychoanalytic theories of explanation. In his conversational and witty style, the philosophy of social science comes to life." (Donald J. Cohen,M.D., Director, Yale Child Study Center, Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Psychology, Yale University)
