Nina Searl (died 1955) was one of the earliest British child psychoanalysts, who came by way of the Brunswick Square Clinic to become a member of the British Psychoanalytical Society.〔Lisa Appiganesi/John Forrester, ''Freud's Women'' () p. 353〕 She was analysed by Hanns Sachs.〔P. J. Graham, ''Susan Isaacs'' (2009) p. 167〕 Among her supervisees was John Bowlby;〔(Nina Searl )〕 while she also helped train D. W. Winnicott and Susan Isaacs. ==Theoretic contributions== During the twenties and thirties, Searl published a number of theoretical contributions, on subjects ranging from childhood stammering to depersonalization.〔Fenichel, p. 653〕 She explored childhood phantasies of bodily destruction,〔Fenichel, p. 44〕 as well as the repeated flight to reality where the individual seeks reassurance again and again that underlying fears are indeed imaginary, without ever reaching full reassurance.〔Fenichel, p. 484〕 Perhaps her most significant contribution was however her article on technique of 1936, which has been described as a neglected classic, anticipating much later work on ego resistance in analysis.〔(Fred Busch, 'Neglected Classics' )〕 While previously Searl had been closely associated with the movement around Melanie Klein, the article aroused considerable hostility from Kleinians, in a way anticipating the later Controversial discussions〔Louis S. Berger, ''Issues in Psychoanalysis and Psychology'' (2002) p. 273〕 - hostility which ultimately resulted in Searl leaving the psychoanalytic movement.〔Martin S. Bergmann, ''Understanding Dissidence and Controversy in the History of Psychoanalysis'' (2004) p. 313〕 Searl's downplaying of the role of theory in the article - "The function of theory is to help the analyst's weakness on extra-analytical occasion and is of use to the patient only in this indirect fashion"〔Quoted in Bergmann, p. 313〕 - may have contributed to this hostility; though again it can be seen as anticipating later positions such as those held by Joseph J. Sandler. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nina Searl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
