ABSTRACT
Jay Greenberg, PhD is a training and supervising analyst at the William Alanson White Institute and editor of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. He is co-author with Stephen Mitchell of Object Relations in Psychoanalytic Theory, and author of Oedipus and Beyond: A Clinical Theory. In 2015, he received the Mary S. Sigourney Award. Dr Greenberg has a rigorous and incisive mind, and he clearly enjoys grappling with the many issues of modern psychoanalysis, both theoretical and clinical. He talks about the enormous impact having children has had on him. Dr Greenberg describes how he’s much more interested in facilitating a particular attitude towards people’s own minds, how they think, how they process experience, and he illustrates this with the case example of the young woman who couldn’t hold on to her own train of thought.
