Abstract

206 BOOK REVIEWS included, and by considering Fromm’s model for living in combined communities, modeled on accepting the diverse subjectivities of others. Friedman helps us do so. In closing, I can imagine—it is thinkable, that is, after reading this compelling biography—that a psychoanalytic institute of a given school and stripe might some- day exist where candidates are required to be analyzed by a training analyst representing a different school than the one in which they wish to train. I can foresee an institute that is no longer based on a model of duplication—of candidates who are encouraged to slavishly follow their training analyst and teachers. I can imagine an institute where the creative process is fostered by modeling the acceptance that members of institutes with differing orientations are entitled to be “subjects in their own rights” (Covitz, 1997), that is, practitioners with fealty to their own thinking, theoretical guideposts and gods.
