The following three papers were presented at the American Psychological Association, Division of Psychoanalysis, Annual Spring Meeting, 2005, at the Waldorf Astoria, New York. It was a Section V (Psychologist-Psychoanalyst Clinicians) Invited Panel, chaired by Dr. Robert Prince. The title of this Invited Panel was “Swimming Against the Paradigm Tide: Practicing Analysis Today.” This panel was a continuation of the theme of two Section V invited panels offered in 1996. The first, at the Division 39 Spring Meetings in New York, was titled “The Death of Psychoanalysis: Murder, Suicide or Rumor Greatly Exaggerated,” and the second, at the Annual APA meeting in Toronto, was “Is Psychoanalysis in Crisis? Looking Inward and Outward for Direction.” These panels were expanded into an edited volume, The Death of Psychoanalysis: Murder, Suicide or Rumor Greatly Exaggerated, which was published in 1999 The 23 papers in that volume constitute a kind of before to the after of today's panel, which looks at the effects on us practitioners of the “impossible profession” of sliding down the far slope of the chronological arc suggested by the title of Hale's 1995 book, The Rise and Crisis of American Psychoanalysis.
The following papers by Drs. Robert Prince, Marylou Lionells, and David Anderegg appear with the generous permission of Dr. Joseph Reppen, Editor of Psychoanalytic Psychology.
