When I was invited to give this plenary address I surmised that people would be interested in learning about my research. The invitation also offered the opportunity to place my research in the broader context of research in psychoanalysis, a complex and even controversial subject. What you will hear is my attempt to present that context in the form of a discourse among friendly antagonists. My research will be introduced at an appropriate point so that its relevance to the larger picture of research in psychoanalysis can be evaluated.
On a rainy August afternoon, somewhere near Amagansett, three psychoanalysts gather in the summer home of Professor di Sapienza, an academic colleague who is a psychologist knowledgeable in the philosophy of science.
Dr. Case is a staunch believer in the primacy of the clinical situation as the bedrock of psychoanalytic science.
