Abstract

This Collection, Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society, Papers, 1940s -- 1960s, contains formal documents reflecting the business functioning of the Society in the framework of the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Institute and Society, commonly known as the LAPSI. The corpus of documents overall comprises the minutes of business and scientific meetings, memoranda and schedules of courses with Curricula. The Papers of the Society provide for a comprehensive understanding of how the LAPSI functioned in the above-named period. They are indispensable for the understanding for the History of LAPSI and for the evolution of the psychoanalytic courses taught by the Training School of the LAPSI.

Scope and Contents of the Materials

The corpus of the documents of this Collections largely contains official records related to all business and scientific matters of the Society and Institute. These documents comprise the series of minutes and correspondences related to the actual meetings, would it be a regular, an annual business meeting or a scientific meeting. Especially interesting is a continuing integration to the Curricula of the courses in metapsychology and of the newly ramified theories of post-Freudian Psychoanalysis. The Training School in Analysis has integrated them in the Curricula.

The sub-collections of the curricula and of the yearly selected courses well reflect on how the conceptual approach to the core of Psychoanalytic Theories had been changing over the Time. We can see that in 1940s and in the early 1950s, the selection of the courses, taught at the Training School, largely reflected the Freudian Theory in Psychoanalysis with some insignificant deviations. Then by the end of the 1950s and in the 1960s, the courses taught by the Training School would include the theories from the contemporaneous Psychology, largely it was the Ego Psychology, Meta Psychology and some alternative psychoanalytic theories in the post-Freudian psychoanalysis.

In other words, the Training School adopted and incorporated into the teaching process the modern version of Psychoanalysis. Although the frontiers have been expended, the iconic Freudian theories and postulated had not been altered or abandoned. The Freudian Theory remained the fundamental premise for teaching of Analysis while the study of the new scientific works have been incorporated in curricula. That would maintain an unbiased perspective for the contemporaneous then psychoanalytic science.

Collection Historical Note

Bibliographical and Historical Note,

Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society was a continuation of the former Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Study Group. The Society inherited the existing structural construct and continued the pattern in professional activity of its predecessor. The Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Group despite the enormous efforts on the part of Dr. Ernst Simmel and his colleagues had not been recognize by the APA as a constituent psychoanalytic society. The question of the lay analysis, as it was perceived by the APA, never received an impartial treatment on the part of the medical majority of this guiding and governing organization (APA). Scientific lay analysis stood against the medicalization of psychoanalysis and in this regard it confronted medical bureaucracy and commercialization of psychoanalytic science.

In this light, the Society played a crucial role continuing its unwavering standing in support of scientific analysis versus the rigidity of then propagated medicalized analysis. Eventually, the scientific approach had prevailed and the Society continued to function as the core of the ultimately established new institution, Los Angeles Institute for Psychoanalysis. In 1946 the Institute was recognized by the American Psychoanalytic Association. In 1967, according to the new By-Laws, the name of the oldest Californian psychoanalytic establishment had been changed to Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (LAPSI).

The post-Split (1950) Society and Institute did not act in defiance to the ramified theories of the Psychoanalysis. While remaining loyal and truthful to the classical principles of Freudian Psychoanalysis, the scholars and analysts of the Society and Institute did not defy or ignore the ramifications of the Psychoanalytic Science. They accepted as faith accompli the new theories in Metapsychology, the Kleinian modifications of the psychoanalytic elements, the Kohutian Self Psychology, as well as the new trends in Child Analysis.

They, however, stood firm on the premise of traditional Freudian postulates in teaching and training process. They have given an indisputable priority to the classical Freudian Psychoanalysis at least for the time being. Then, the Classical Psychoanalysis remained overall the theory and has not been juxtaposed to the applied psychotherapy. The second however became integrated into the teaching and training curricula, but only as the secondary subjects of practicality.

We can conclude that LAPSI in the period between the 1960s and 1990s continued to maintain unyielding commitment to the scientific principles of teaching, training and research. The evolution of teaching and in a broader sense ontology of the Science of Psychoanalysis has been well demonstrated in the series of Curricula, beginning from 1946 and is traced her to 1969.

Two evocatively profound documents from this Collection by-and-large epitomized a discursive vicissitudes that the Society and Institute had gone through. These documents were issued correspondently in the 1960s and in the 1970s. Both documents evinced the often externalized arduous introspections and vexations whether or not the scientific direction their authors have chosen had the future.

These two documents are RG-05.77, Los Angeles Institute for Psychoanalysis, academic year 1965-1966, Schedule of Courses and RG-05.78, Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, principles of teaching and training, ca 1976. Perhaps then indistinctively, for the given Time, but through the prism of our nowadays’ vision we can see how the enablement and integrity of Psychoanalysis has been preserved. It has been preserved in the see of hundreds of alternative sub-theories and applied methodologies. For without an incredible solid scientific foundation, notably the Theory of Psychoanalysis, all its scientific deviations hardly could have a chance to function.

As the archival and research entity, this Collection demonstrates the mundane work of the Society and Institute. It also reflects on the teaching process and principles exercised by the Training School of LAPSI and by the analyst of the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. y Dr. Kandelin, June 1965

Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (1950s -- 2005)

Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society evolved from the former Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Study Group. Countless effort of Dr. Ernest Simmel and his colleagues to establish a recognizable by the APA institution often then not rendered a little success owing to the never resolved at the time controversy of the scientific but lay analysis versus medicalization of psychoanalysis. In this light, the Society played a crucial role as unwavering standing for the loyalty of scientific analysis versus rigidity of personalities who propagated only medical analysis. Eventually the scientific approach had prevailed and the Society continued to function as the core of the ultimately established Institution, LAPSI, recognized by all standards of the APA. This Collection demonstrates the mundane work of the Society and Institute. It also reflects on the teaching process in time offered by the Training School of LAPSI.

Biographical Note

The Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society was a factual nucleus of the eventually established Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Institute and Society, commonly known as LAPSI. The Society remained an integral part of the new post-Split organization, namely the Institute. Formally the Society comprised all membership and confirmed the committees. The LAPSI, as a psychoanalytic institution comprised the Training School, the Society and a number of committees. The Society in the course of time becomes lesser official term for the LAPSI, however it always remained its integral part. All business and scientific meetings were held by the Society. The training process in the Analysis, although held, by the Training School, headed by the Dean, was also reflected in the corresponding documents of the Society, namely the Curriculum and schedule of courses
