Something about education makes us nervous. In fact, Sigmund Freud accords to education and civilization the development of various neuroses and unhappiness. Yet to imagine this view, the narratives of education must be conceived broadly as the means of both expressing and encountering reality and phantasy. All at once, the time and reach of education...

Between 1942 and 1944, a series of “Extraordinary Meetings” occurred in the British Psychoanalytical Society in London over the future direction of child psychoanalysis. The integrity of the Society would be at stake, because a crucial decision that members would face was whether a single society could hold conflictive theoretical orientations to psychoanalytic practice and still recognize itself.

Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s and Adam Frank’s (1995) introduction to the writings of psychologist Silvan Tomkins invites readers back into the transitional space of “theory kindergarten.”1 Not coincidently, the thought of this archaic space can only be proposed by a theory of psychology. And, true to its dissonant spirit, their first use works with the force of something like a swipe. They write: “You don’t have...

Long after the Controversial Debates between Melanie Klein and Anna Freud, something fortuitous emerged to exceed its formal resolutions. Twenty years later, there was a moment of agreement—recognition, really—that gave pause to their adversarial relations. This did not occur face-to-face but was recorded through the small regard of mutual citation. They met through a shared topic that, in its very literal qualities, ...
