"Masked dissociation": the many faces of technology
Am J Psychoanal. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.1057/s11231-024-09439-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfter briefly explaining the concepts of dissociation and repression and discussing the new interest that the concept of dissociation has acquired within the actual psychoanalytic panorama, the author explains the concept of a dissociative continuum and presents Peter Goldberg's theory on somatic dissociation.

At-one-ment and twoness are not opposites
Am J Psychoanal. 2024 Feb 25. doi: 10.1057/s11231-024-09434-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper explores how at-one-ment and twoness interact in the clinical setting. Namely, how the unconscious mode of knowing the other intuitively from the inside, by becoming at-one with them, interacts with the conscious-rational mode of knowing about the other from the outside; how experiencing the other's experience as one's own, rather than like one's own, informs (and is informed by) the common clinical stance of twoness, in which analyst and patient meet as separate persons. Through clinical illustrations, I argue that thes...
