  • Title: Otto Rank: beginnings, endings, and current experience.
    Author: Novey R.
    Journal: J Am Psychoanal Assoc; 1983; 31(4):985-1002. PubMed ID: 6399295.
    Abstract:
    I have traced the theories of Otto Rank as they appeared in his major technical writings. Against this background, I have discussed references to Rank in past and contemporary psychoanalytic literature. This paper describes three important contributions of Rank--his birth trauma theory, leading to his theory of the birth of the self; his emphasis on present experience (forerunner of the current "here-and-now" theory); and his writings about the creative potential of the termination process.
