COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Psychobiography probes the conscious and unconscious inner life of the individual. Childhood, conflict, coping mechanisms, creativity, interpersonal relations, parental messaging, personality development, trauma, and unconscious motivations are central areas of concern. Just as the psychoanalyst examines the day residue of the patient or client, the psychobiographer starts with primary sources on the subject while listening for signs of the unconscious revealing early cathexis and trauma. Neither lead with theory but instead keep the possibilities in mind made conceivable by a vast clinical and psychohistorical literature. The emotion and life patterns of the subject are what draw the most probing questions. With living people, the possibilities that are raised can be reinforced or rejected more readily than with historical personages. Empathetic listening to the evidence and the mechanisms of defense are invaluable instruments in deepening our knowledge of lives. Dreams, the parapraxis, and countertransference are crucial tools of the psychobiographer who must be a diligent researcher. This course will help clinicians to understand intergeneration elements impacting your patients. There will be an emphasis on psychoanalytic and research methodology. The course will be taught with a focus on case studies of a variety of influential individuals. Writing a psychobiography is optional but encouraged.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this course, its participants will be able to:

  • Analyze and apply the basic principles of psychobiography.
  • Apply what’s been learned to write psychobiography at some point in their career if desired.
  • List primary sources (autobiographies, diaries, memoirs, government documents, contemporary references by associates) first.
  • Analyze these primary sources chronologically to the extent that the sources will allow to get a sense of the personality and veracity of the subject.
  • Use the countertransference to the subject as a vital tool as the analyst does with the patient. (For example, when I several times typed Al Bore rather than Al Gore, I listened for the message as an analyst I did for my patients. Similarly, when I dreamt I was Jimmy Carter’s analyst, I learned some more about my countertransference as well as the fact that I thought he could use an analyst.)
  • Write about the subject with empathy even if it is difficult because of preconceived feelings and thoughts.
  • Write with empathy or consider not critiquing a disliked subject, for emotional, moral, and political reasons. (As a presidential psychobiographer, I do not have this luxury.)
  • Analyze your subject with openness. Avoid psychopathologizing.  and use the special insights, techniques, and knowledge learned in psychoanalytic training as an instrument of empathy and insight rather than as a way of feeling superior to the subject.
  • List all you know regarding the childhood (where possible), especially if there are strong negative feelings regarding the subject. (For example, in writing and teaching about Hitler and Nixon I could not easily find ways to empathize with the adult, but I could feel for them as children.)
  • Assess secondary sources (biographies, dictionaries, newspaper, textbooks) and compare and contrast them with primary sources.
  • Write about and explain the origins of the unconscious motivations of the subject.
  • Assess indications of repetition compulsion in the life of the individual being researched.
  • Critique of patterns of transgenerational transmission of behavior and trauma as has been well-documented in the families of Holocaust survivors.
  • Analyze the difference between what the subject says and does.
  • Discuss the interpersonal relations of the subject.
  • Compile and assess while immersed in researching the psychobiographer’s relevant day and night dreams. If this is a major project, the psychobiographer’s significant others may be noting or complaining that too much time is being spent emotionally away from them. (A wonderful Charles Darwin biographer dedicated his last book to his wife and daughters who lived with him, “while I lived with Charles Darwin.”)
  • Use theory while not leading with it. Before completing the research, consider what psychoanalytic theories provide the most insight. (While in a case presentation seminar during my psychoanalytic training, it was revealing that each of the five analytic candidates had somewhat different theoretical notions as to the most relevant diagnosis.)
  • Utilize clear non-technical language readily available to the layperson.
  • Use your instructor as a resource for publication should you choose to write a psychobiography. Consider submitting it to the refereed journal Clio’s Psychethat your instructor edits, or another one that he can recommend.
  • Demonstrate to colleagues the invaluable insights of psychobiographical methodology and psychoanalytic training applied to the world around us.

Paul H. Elovitz, PhD is a historian, psychoanalytic researcher, and author of about 400 publications, covering presidential psychobiography, teaching, documenting the field of psychohistory, and much more. Before becoming a founding faculty member at Ramapo College, he taught at Temple, Rutgers, and Fairleigh Dickinson universities.  He is trained as a psychoanalyst and practiced for almost 30 years before retiring to devote more time to scholarship and teaching. In 2019, his psychoanalytic institute honored him with the title Research Psychoanalyst. His recent edited volume, The Many Roads of the Builders of Psychohistory (2021), contains autobiographies of 32 contributors to the field, four biographies, and one interview. It is written as a companion volume to The Making of Psychohistory (2018). Dr. Elovitz is planning now an edited volume of the lives of psychobiographers in conjunction with the establishment of the psychobiography research subgroup of the Psychohistory Forum.
Dr. Paul H. Elovitz is a founding member and past president of the International Psychohistorical Association (1978-) who continues to serve on its leadership council after presenting at all 44 annual conferences. In 1982 he founded the Psychohistory Forum to nurture psychohistorical research and continues to head its Executive Board. It has virtual and in-person meetings in New York City, as well as at international conferences. Since 1994, Psychohistory Forum started publishing its scholarship with Clio’s Psyche, of which Dr. Elovitz is the Editor-in-Chief. Currently, with a colleague from South Africa, he is starting an international psychobiography research and publication group.

FORMAL POSTGRADUATE PSYCHOLOGIAL EDUCATION

For five years I took a program of courses at the New Jersey Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis (NJI)—a charter member of the National Accreditation Association for Psychoanalysis (NAAP).  These seminar courses met on alternate weeks for 1-1/2 hours.  Papers were required in most courses after the second year.  Almost all of the professors had doctoral degree.  After the completion of the five-year program of course work, I took another several years of courses and seminars.  With nine psychoanalysts I was in control analysis (case supervision), typically for a year or more with each of them.  This was for a total of over ten years and was invaluable training.  For nine months I volunteered at the , Rockland Psychiatric Hospital.  For many years I worked in the NJI Low Cost Clinic while starting my own psychotherapy practice.

V.      SCHOLARSHIP

A. EDITORIAL LEADERSHIP

Background:  I founded Clio’s Psyche: Understanding the “Why” of Culture, Current Events, History, and Society in 1994 and have been its editor-in-chief since then.  There have been over 50 special issues, 17 special features, and 16 symposia since the publication’s founding.  I conceived of, mostly solicited the authors for, and have been the lead editor for over 60 of these.  This scholarly quarterly has a comprehensive system of double-blind refereeing with referees not necessarily coming from the field of psychohistory.  (Among the Ramapo community Former Acting Provost Edward Cody, former History Convener Carter Meyer, and Professor Ronald Hayashida and Carter Jones Meyer are examples of three such Ramapo colleagues who have refereed for it.)  In the fall issue of 2018, there were 22 articles on the psychology and history of sexual violation and its condemnation, including a symposium article by me, entitled “Awakening from the Nightmare of the Subjugation and Violation of Women.” Below are several highlights of my editorial work followed by the list of special issues, special features, and symposia reflecting my editorial leadership. (Note that I consider editorship to be my most important contribution to scholarship.)

The authors I work with and publish come from:

Adelphi University, Ankara University, Appalachian State University, Boston University, Brandeis University, Case Western Reserve University, Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Central Connecticut State University, Colorado State University, CUNY (The City University of New York), CUNY Graduate School, Drexel University, Duquesne University, Fordham University, George Mason University, George Washington University, Harvard University, Jacksonville State University, Kansas State University, LIU (Long Island University), Loyola Marymount University (LA), Macquarie University (Australia), Marquette University, Marshall University, Mary Washington University,  McGill University, Michigan State University, Montclair State University, Northwestern University, Ohio University, Open University [Milton Keynes, UK], Open University of the University of Helsinki, Pacific University, Pacifica Graduate School, Princeton University, Rutgers University, Santa Clara University, Santa Cruz University, Seton Hall University, Shippensburg University, SUNY—Stony Brook University, SUNY—University of Albany, Suffolk University, Thomas Jefferson University, Truman State University, UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), University of Arizona, University of California—Berkeley, University of California—Davis, University of California—Irvine, University of California—San Diego, University of Chicago, University of Colorado, University of Colorado—Boulder, University of Connecticut, University of Denver, University of Essex (England), University of Haifa, University of Helsinki [Finland], University of Johannesburg (South Africa) University of Leicester (UK), University of Maryland, University of Massachusetts, University of Massachusetts—Boston, University of Michigan, University of Nevada, University of New South Wales (Australia), University of North Carolina, University of Oklahoma, University of Oslo, University of Pittsburgh, University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), University of South Carolina, University of South Florida, University of Texas—Houston, University of Toronto, University of Virginia, University of Waikako (New Zealand), University of Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Vanderbilt University, Willamette University, Yeshiva University, York University (Toronto, Canada),

The 72 publications listed in Part II below are in reverse chronological order and exclude all of my more numerous (about 314 publications in Part III) in Clio’s Psyche—a refereed quarterly journal.  Since it is debatable if websites should be listed as publications, despite the enormous time they take to build, readers can go to cliospsyche.org to answer this question to their own satisfaction.  In past personnel reports to Ramapo College I have indicated which journals are refereed.  A longtime editor of the Journal of Psychohistory reports that it was refereed throughout his editorship.  The editors of The Psychohistory Review and Mentalities reported them to be refereed.  Though the years many of my articles have been invited, but I only recently began keeping a record of this and therefore do not list most of them as such.

   Additional Publications

(In Clio’s Psyche: A double blind referee’s journal)

I’m including my psychobiographical interviews and memorials except for the shortest

In memorials there is a balance between respecting the recently deceased, many of whom were my friends or respected colleagues, and portraying their personalities and lives accurately.  While eliminating most short psychobiographical we inclined publications, I’ve left in some because I thought they provided some valuable insights into the psychobiographical process.  I have to say that I do not remember the particulars of the early articles so I may have included or excluded some inappropriately.
