The strange talks about the psychoanalytic identity

Authors

  • Gerd Böttcher

Abstract

Many psychotherapists think that psychoanalytic training is connected with a specific psychoanalytic identity. The author also describes a matrix of the relevant vectors, which determines the identity debate. The author also outlines the historical development ofthe last hundred years connected with the most important phases of collegial and professional relationship as well as of herewith connected separation and splitting. The talking and writing about the psychoanalytic identity is described as odd because identity is more then only a term. In contrast to that he describes identity as a process. The author understands the development of the psychoanalytic identity threatening as a process of growing identity, separation and development.

Keywords Psychoanalytic identity, Freud, Ferenczi, threatening of identity, IPV, DPV, identity as process, “Schieboleth”, function of identity
