The Pragmatism of Ego Psychology
Journal of Analytic Social Work, 1992Co-Authors: Dale R. MeersAbstract:Glaring contradictions in psychoanalytic theory and methods contribute to our surrender of patients to psychopharmacological psychiatry's genetic pretensions and dedication to sedation. Disputing orthodoxy, psychiatric psychoanalysts have more often substituted fratricidal invective for clinical and theoretical clarifications. If psychoanalytic social work is burdened by fewer martyrs, we may attempt clarifications that defeated our predecessors. With that intent, Ego Psychology is reviewed, first, in order to clarify the relationship between theories of pathogenesis and clinical methods of treatment; second, to outline the common theoretical denominators of all psychoanalysts; and third, with the intent of initiating a continuing, systematic scientific dialogue.

The changing place of the dream in psychoanalytic history, Part I: Freud, Ego Psychology, and the interpersonal school.
Psychoanalytic review, 2002Co-Authors: Robert C. Lane, Max HarrisAbstract:One of the major strands woven into the fabric of psychoanalysis was Freud’s use of the interpretation of dreams for his self-analysis. As a result of his own insights, he was destined to favor dreams and consider them the main avenue to the unconscious, placing them in an exceptional position. It seemed that in the beginnings of psychoanalysis, dream analysis and psychoanalysis were synonymous, and thus hard to differentiate from each other. However, no one today would claim that psychoanalysis and dream analysis are synonymous. As we look at the more than 100-year history of psychoanalysis, what stands out is how the place of the dream in psychoanalysis has mainly waned. The radical shift in how psychoanalysis is done raises questions about why this occurred. At least part of the answer can be found within the history of psychoanalysis itself. We can trace some of the change to shifts in Freud’s own thinking, which opened up new approaches to analysis such as Ego Psychology, and to the challenge posed by the interpersonal school to his understanding of dreams. If we look at Ego Psychology, one of the things that stands out is the repercussions for dream analysis when there was a shift from Freud’s emphasis on uncovering repressed infantile sexual wishes through free association to an emphasis on analysis of Ego defenses (A. Freud, 1936) and an emphasis on strengthening

Cognitive Ego Psychology and the psychotherapy of learning disorders
Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy, 1995Co-Authors: Jack L. Herman, Robert C. LaneAbstract:The single most common referral problem in middle childhood and adolescence is academic underachievement and learning failure. Yet, the term “learning disorder” lacks specificity as a diagnostic entity and offers no guidelines for psychotherapy. An appreciation of the developmental processes by which the undifferentiated, unstructured, self-less and objectless newborn becomes a more fully developed, self-sufficient individual, capable of adaptive functioning and formal academic learning is encompassed in contemporary psychoanalytic conceptions of the separation-individuation process. This theory provides an organizing, theoretical base for diagnosis and treatment of learning disorders. Based on these conceptions, we discuss therapeutic techniques which are appropriate to the level of developmental arrest at each of the phases of the separation-individuation process.

Modern Ego Psychology.
Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 1999Co-Authors: Eric R. MarcusAbstract:This paper reviews the history of Ego Psychology, describing problems in the theory that have perhaps contributed to subsequent theory development and theoretical splintering. The present status of Ego Psychology is then described, with a focus on broadly accepted general principles. A proposal/prediction is then made regarding efforts to integrate the main schools and splinter groups. It is argued that the Ego's method of synthesizing aspects of experience will help integrate divergent metapsychological viewpoints.

Ego Psychology theory
Comprehensive Handbook of Social Work and Social Welfare, 2008Co-Authors: Eda G GoldsteinAbstract:Gaining recognition in the United States in the late 1930s and 1940s, Ego Psychology focuses on a person's Ego functions, defenses, sense of mastery, coping capacities, and life cycle stages. It also draws attention to the impact of interpersonal relationships, the environment, and the culture on human functioning. Biopsychosocial assessment, mobilizing client strengths, and the client-worker relationship are at the core of Ego-oriented intervention, which utilizes psychological and environmental techniques. Ego-oriented intervention has been applied to diverse problems and populations and its proponents have attempted to integrate many of the ideas and principles of culturally sensitive, affirmative, and empowering interventive approaches. There is increasing evidence for the utility of Ego psychological interventions and Ego Psychology is still popular today among social work practitioners. Keywords: Ego Psychology; Ego-oriented intervention; clinical social work practice
