      36. Object Relations, in the psychodynamic field, focuses on relationships, initially that between the carer, usually mother, and child. We carry persons we have known inside us, and have an idea, an image, and entity within us, which is a representation of the people, of mother. That image is called an “object.” We are not objectifying people; we live in a dual, fluid world of internal and external relating. If we focus on a particular feature of a person, that image in us is called a “part object.” Then we have a limited view of the person. D. W. Winnicott developed the insight further, in his psychotherapeutic work with children, with the idea of the “transitional object,” the child’s comforter, a blanket or toy, and what that external object signifies in our inner world, the presence of mother, say, even when she is elsewhere. It helps us to bridge the gap of absence. It gives security when anxious. It facilitates the stage of separating and becoming more autonomous. In any caring relationship, the carer becomes, for a time, a transitional object. An awareness of our inner objects helps us to form less incomplete relationships. See Howard, Psychodynamic Counselling, 11–12, 48; Gomez, Introduction, 1–2, 92–93.

      37. Frank Lake’s reputation faltered for a time; for some because he was a Christian; for some because early on he used LSD to access early memory, even though once the connection with pathological conditions was known, he gave up using it as soon as did everyone else, psychiatrists at the Tavistock Clinic, for instance. His standing should remain high. His insights, theoretical and practical, are of such worth.

      38 A classic study joining psychoanalysis, history, and faith is Erik H. Erikson, Young Man Luther, risking “that bit of impurity which is inherent in the hyphen of the psycho-historical as well as of all other hyphenated approaches” (13). Of particular importance is Ulanov, Finding Space. A useful study of writing across disciplines is found in Miller, “Crossing the Border’; and a useful reader is Rollins and Kille, Psychological Insight into the Bible. Of interest is Watts et al., Psychology for Christian Ministry; and Buckley, Where the Waters Meet; and Mace, ed., Heart and Soul re: philosophy; and Fiumara, Other Side of Language; and re: literature, D. R. Davis, Scenes of Madness; Knights, Listening Reader; re: opera, Cordingly, Disordered Heroes in Opera. In relation to faith, Verhagen et al., eds., Psychiatry and Religion; Wilber, Marriage of Sense and Soul. In relation to theology, Ghiloni, “On Writing Interdisciplinary Theology.” In relation to art, psychiatry, and brain science, the works of Eric R. Kandel; and Jonah Lehrer, Proust Was a Neuroscientist. In relation to biblical criticism, Wayne G. Rollins in Glas, et al., eds., Hearing Visions. A searching example where the general psychodynamic approach is sympathetic is Kalsched, Trauma and the Soul.
