A brief note on Ingrams's (1997) concept of interiorization
Article Abstract:
The concept of interiorization reveals Douglas H. Ingram's insight into the pyschoanalytic process and the therapist-patient relationship. Interiorization occurs when a patient is able to create a safe mental space in which to internalize the dialogue of the therapy session. The analyst should track the level of interiorization, making sure it is used for transformation and does not increase the patient's sense of unease and oppression.

A dream of a bonobo solution: discussion of "'As far as possible': discovering our limits and finding ourselves" by Samoan Barish and Judith E. Vida
Article Abstract:
Psychoanalysts resist teamwork because close relationships can create erotic drives and uncomfortably charged fantasies. The integration of such drives and fantasies into the psychoanalysts' personalities may create a freer and more effective clinician. The bonobo apes, for example, use sexuality to reduce conflict and their females are especially effective creating cooperative social bonds.
