For Freud, the "thing presentation" and "word presentation" coexist in the mind to mediate the relationship. The thing presentation alienated from the word presentation is trapped in the unconscious and so is once more removed. For Marx, appearance mediates between knowledge and reality. Appearance bound in ideology is, too, once more removed. These mediating links display striking parallels in the work of Freud and Marx. The objects of investigation differ-intrapsychic dynamics vs. social productive relations-but only as aspects of the same reality. Unlike the wise men studying the elephant, Freud and Marx are not blind to the rest of the beast. Contained within their total theories are rather solid scientific foundations. Freud shows that the self is not entirely transparent to consciousness. Marx points out how forces and relations of production give form to culture and politics. Then, there are some less solid extrapolations. Innate aggression cannot explain war and the proletarian revolution did not occur first in advanced industrial Europe. Separating the solid foundations from some less solid extrapolations has been the task of many readings and interpretations of both. Jacques Lacan "reads" Freud and Louis Althusser "reads" Marx attempting to claim as their own the theorist they know through the original work in spite of his intermittent falls into scientism, ideology and other fallacies they weed out in the reading. 1 In his second book, System and Structure-Essays in Communication and Exchange, Anthony Wilden looks in some depth at the paradigm creators (Freud and Marx) and at the "readers," the paradigm refiners and expounders. In doing so, 1 he reconceptualizes social and psychic reality. If the test of a theory is in the facts it explains best, Wilden's task in reformulating the reformulations is to explain better more facts about this psycho-social reality. He makes an impressive attempt to find and fill the loopholes in previous attempts so as to develop a theory complex and flexible enough to aid us in understanding and controlling the reality of which we are part. Wilden's forte is exegesis. His first book, The Language of the Self, is a scholarly and comprehensible translation and commentary of a sample of Lacan's anything but laconic text. 2 Lacan calls for a return to Freud. He feels that the problem with psychoanalysis is not the theory of Freud but the reductionism and distortions of Freud's interpreters and followers. He would rather see the candidates in psychoanalysis get lost for a while in the labyrinths of Freud's collected works than that they

Pursuant to two federal consent decrees, the Department of Corrections greatly reduced the population in administrative segregation and established a step-down mental health treatment unit for the prisoners excluded from administrative segregation. This article describes and discusses not only the process of enacting the changes but also the outcomes, including the large reductions in rates of misconduct, violence, and use of force. Keywords: supermaximum security; administrative segregation; classification; use of force; mental health step-down unit Between the 1970s and the 1990s, the prison population in the United States multiplied several t...

In general, it is the biases that therapists are unaware of or unwilling to confront in their personal relationships, a part of the countertransference, that are problematic in psychotherapy. A clinical vignette is presented, illustrating the application of this generalization to couples therapy.

Topics covered include the plight of prisoners with serious mental illness and therapeutic issues such as finding sufficient time and space to accomplish quality clinical work. The role of prison rape in the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in victims is also discussed. It is suggested that changes are needed in the entire criminal justice system. Nonviolent offenders should be diverted to noncorrectional settings where they can receive help for their problems, which often involve substance abuse and chronic unemployment. In addition, more mentally ill offenders need to be diverted to noncorrectional treatment settings. It is also suggested that the issue of gender needs to be addressed in discussions about treating male prisoners. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
