“…The American Heritage Dictionary (1972) defines nostalgia as a 'longing for things, persons, or situations that are not present'. It is basically a longing for a perceived 'utopian' past (Bassin, 1993;Batcho, 1998) without the actual acceptance that it is gone (Kaplan, 1987). Nostalgia has been found to affect old and young alike (McCann, 1941), and it appears to be not only a longing for a past which has been personally experienced, but it also represents a longing for a 'lost past paradise' (Peters, 1985) which one has never actually been experienced (Stern, 1992).…”

“…There is an increasing use of nostalgia in the marketing of consumer goods (Baker and Kennedy, 1994). A good example of this can be seen in the attempt to 'reenact the reunion' with the lost past with appeals of 'vintage retro' (Bassin, 1993), traditions, rituals, and the ideal images of the American community. One can easily see these attempts in the use of the songs of the 1960s and 1970s and the strong emotional connections made between the past and such products as automobiles, hamburgers, and soft drinks.…”

Academic work involving nostalgia has shown it to evoke a basket of emotions. This paper proposes a conceptual model that links nostalgia to charitable giving. We argue that the nostalgia evoked by certain NPOs (not-for-profit organizations) is likely to have a bearing on both emotional and familial utility derived by the donor. This in turn is likely to drive the donor commitment to the NPO. Thus by evoking nostalgia, certain NPOs are likely to emotionally engage their current and potential donors, which could facilitate the creation of long-term intimate relationships between them and their donors. However, the extent to which the NPO can evoke nostalgia is likely to depend upon the nostalgia proneness of the donor, the emotional importance of the past experiences evoked by the NPO, and the characteristics of the NPO such as the extent to which the NPO can alleviate the feelings of alienation, discontinuity, and the need for authenticity experienced by the donor. The paper provides a series of research propositions and proposes a research agenda.

What is the role of gender in transference? This article outlines some aspects of gender and gender construction that may potentially affect analytic space. Relational and classical notions of intersubjective, intrapsychic, and the analytic third are explored for ways in which they both converge and diverge and shed light on the reciprocal interplay between gender and transference. A clinical vignette illustrates theoretical considerations, highlighting the jointly created elements of genderlinked transferential configurations within a female-female dyad.Lily, a bright, insightful, and affectively alive 23-year-old patient, repeats in current relationships facets of her experience of sudden abandonment by a father with whom she shared a close, warm relationship until he left the family when she was 11 years old. Her boyfriend, Michael, has been perpetually involved in various unsavory legal and interpersonal entanglements and often proves himself untrustworthy and unreliable. Although Lily is not deaf to the echoes of negative aspects of her relationship with
