    Area of Science:

    • Psychoanalysis
    • Psychology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • The Watergate investigation brought nationwide attention to the burglary of a Los Angeles psychoanalyst's office.
    • This psychoanalyst was believed to be treating Dr. Daniel Ellsberg, a key figure in the Pentagon Papers leak.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate patient reactions to a significant public event (the Ellsberg Affair break-in) within the psychoanalytic setting.
    • To indirectly explore psychoanalytic practice through patient responses to external socio-political events.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire was distributed to members of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
    • 861 psychoanalysts provided voluntary information on their patients' (5,074 total) reactions to the event over an eight-week period.

    Main Results:

    • A high percentage of analysands did not mention the office break-in during the study period.
    • Only 84 out of 861 analysts reported any patient material related to the event.

    Conclusions:

    • The lack of patient discussion may stem from the nature of the analytic setting or analysts' potential defensive avoidance of the topic.
    • The study offers insights into how psychoanalytic practice interacts with and potentially filters significant public events.
