Lineage
Amanda’s own psychoanalysis traces back directly to Sigmund Freud through an extraordinary lineage. It begins with Lillian Delger Powers, analyzed by Freud and supervised by Ferenczi, who treated Hyman Spotnitz. Spotnitz then treated Gerald Lucas, who treated Amanda’s training analyst in his Transference and Resistance Workshop. This chain ties Amanda back to history’s greatest psychoanalytic minds in a deeply personal way—after all, one’s training analysis is the cornerstone of psychoanalytic training. Amanda is truly grateful for this heritage and hopes to contribute to its legacy with respect and insight.
