Reviews
'This series brings together the most important psychoanalytic papers in IJP's 80 year history, in a series of accessible monographs. The idea behind the series is to approach the IJP's intellectual resource from a variety of perspectives in order to highlight important domains of psychoanalytic inquiry. It is hoped that these volumes will be of interest to psychoanalysts, students of the discipline and, in particular, to those who work and write from an interdisciplinary standpoint. The ways in which the papers in the monographs are grouped will vary: for example, a number of "themed" monographs will take as their subject important psychoanalytic topics, while others will stress interdisciplinary links (between neuroscience, anthropology, literature, philosophy, etc., and psychoanalysis). Still others will contain review essays on, for example, film and psychoanalysis. The aim of all the monographs is to provide the reader with a substantive contribution of the highest quality that reflects the principal concerns of contemporary psychoanalysis and those with whom they are in dialogue.'- From the Series Editors' Preface
