Licensed psychoanalyst, New York State Board of Education.
David Hoddeson finds his double perspective in literature and psychoanalysis especially useful in this interdisciplinary era of feminist, gender, class, identity and ethnicity studies.
His current scholarly priority: Psychoanalysis, Literature and Culture,
an anthology that retraces the proliferation of evolving psychoanalytic findings into our subsequent cultural discourses. Other scholarly projects in progress include a psychobiography of Ernest Hemingway as cultural icon, artist and psychoanalytic case.
Recent conference presentations and publications include: an invited review of a National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis symposium, “Music and the Music of Psychoanalysis;” Chair and invited speaker at the American Psychological Association’s “Meet the Author” symposium, devoted to the first biography of Heinz Kohut; and Special Editor and contributor to two issues of American Imago devoted to the phenomenon of transference in the shaping of biographical creation.
David Hoddeson teaches courses in Modernism; Psychoanalysis/Literature/Culture; Biography, Autobiography and Memoir; nonfiction; The Nonfiction Novel; and Modern and Contemporary English and American Literature.
