The writing of this paper was inspired by observations that public discourse, political policymaking, internet barking, and even conversation within psychoanalytic institutes too often relies on signaling affiliation at the expense of dialogue and discovery. Such flag waving stops rather than promotes conversation. Too many of us seek safety and resonance within familiar groups, where a kind of intellectual inbreeding can limit growth. “Penetrating Language” argues that foundational principles of psychoanalytic listening and engagement continue to offer an attitude and an orientation to finding out sorely needed in so much of today’s fraught communication.
Sylvia Steinert LCSW is in private practice in Ridgefield, CT, and Murray Hill, NYC. She is faculty supervisor and instructor at the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (WCSPP), where she served as executive director from 2021-2025.

Learn about our extensive training opportunities for Fall 2025 in: Child, Adolescent, Parent Psychotherapy
Our program weaves together the study of individual child & adolescent, and parent development through understanding the impact of psychological histories, relational patterns, intergenerational effects, and changing social contexts and constructs. Training is based on a psychodynamic, relational orientation to change, integrating parent guidance and advice as needed.
We welcome all mental health practitioners, whether your work is exclusive to children & adolescents, primarily serves adults or some combination. We never forget that there is, after all, a child’s history within each adult and the challenge of growing within every child, adult, and parent.
