Charles Brenner:

Yesterday I learned that he died. As we all do, I feel a great loss both personally and to psychoanalysis. Here is what I said about Charlie last month:

THE IDENTITY OF PSYCHOANALYSIS

AND PSYCHOANALYSTS

Psychoanalysis has been in a constant uninterrupted debate about its identity as a discipline and as a social institution. This paper considers the place of science in psychoanalysis, on the one hand, and the hermeneutic nature of our discipline, on the other. The aim is to articulate a typology of psychoanalytic knowledge that characterizes psychoanalysis as a form of therapy, an intellectual movement, and a theoretical system. This typology considers psychoanalysis as a thought collective that influences its members by exchanging and maintaining ideas. To a well-rounded psychoanalytic thinker or practitioner one must be able to move easily among three realms of knowledge – the humanities, the social sciences and the natural sciences.

An Evening with Sylvia Brody, Ph.D.
 
Sylvia Brody, Ph.D., a most distinguished psychoanalyst and developmental researcher, came to prominence with her books documenting her observational, clinical, and theoretical studies on maternal behavior and child development. Among her contributions were Patterns of Mothering (1950), Anxiety and Ego Formation in Infancy (1970), Mothers, Fathers, and Children: Explorations in the Formation of Character in the First Seven Years (1978) and the follow-up study of the sample at eighteen years, Evolution of Character (1992). This body of work served to vividly demonstrate the significance of the child’s earliest experiences on emerging character structure and ego and superego functioning. In 2002, Dr. Brody published The Development of Anorexia Nervosa; a second edition came out in 2007.
