Editor's Introduction

The oldest free-standing psychoanalytic journal in North America, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly is published every January, April, July, and October. Each issue contains from six to eight original articles, a section of in-depth book reviews, and a unique series of abstracts summarizing selected international journals and correlations with the neurosciences. A special section of the Quarterly is devoted to the examination of clinical process from a variety of viewpoints, utilizing presentations of case material.

An independent journal with a strong clinical focus, the Quarterly is not wedded to any one school of psychoanalytic thought. Its editorial goals are to encourage and publish the most rigorous original papers from North America and around the world, representing all contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives on the theories, practices, research endeavors, and applications of adult and child psychoanalysis.

Editorship of the Quarterly has recently been assumed by Dr. Henry F. Smith. Past Editors have included Drs. Jacob Arlow, Dale Boesky, Sander Abend, and Owen Renik.

	Don't miss our republications of classic Quarterly articles from earlier decades in all four issues of 2007 and the first issue of 2008. Each of these articles is discussed by two or three of today's leading psychoanalysts in a section called "Anniversary Classics and Controversies."
