Joseph D. Lichtenberg, M.D.: Synthesizer Extraordinaire: A Conversation with Joseph D. Lichtenberg at His Home in Bethesda, MD, April 11, 2021.

A little over five weeks before Joseph Lichtenberg's death, I conducted an interview to discuss Joe's new ideas about the importance of tracking a sense of power in patients' experiences and in clinical interactions. At the time, we were aware that Joe was dying and his time was short. He also wanted to hear from me concerning my experience at the time we had first begun a supervisory relationship 33 years ago. He shared his impression of me from that time. We go on to discuss a few of his contributions, especially the concepts of wearing the attribution and the joint construction of model scenes – concepts that have become part of the contemporary psychoanalytic lexicon. Finally, we discuss Joe's legacy to psychoanalysis involving a way of thinking and a willingness to shift if a better idea emerges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
