Dr. Benveniste's reference to Konrad Lorenz's cranes is very felicitous. Although I met Lorenz when he came to Topeka as a Sloan visiting professor, I was familiar with his ducklings but not his cranes. We are like cranes but we also attack each other directly, for example, my attacks on self-psychology and relational psychoanalysis. There was also the attack on the NAAP regarding treatment frequency as essential to the definition of psychoanalysis, notwithstanding the fact that the NAAP saw transference and resistance as central, which according to Freud made them psychoanalysts. And to their credit, they were able to establish a license for psychoanalysis, something the establishment was never able to accomplish. Dr. Benveniste cites the papers of William Grossman, who was my most important mentor on psychoanalytic theory. Grossman was able to show the underlying structure of Freud's papers and the centrality of both constitution and experience. Applauding Dr. Benveniste's own contributions to psychoanalytic thought and history would require its own tome.
