The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child is recognized
as a preeminent source of contemporary psychoanalytic
thought. Published annually, it focuses on presenting
carefully selected and edited representative articles
featuring ongoing analytic research as well as
clinical and theoretical contributions for use in the
treatment of adults and children.
Initiated in 1945, under the early leadership of Anna
Freud, Kurt and Ruth Eissler, Marianne and Ernst Kris,
this series of volumes soon established itself as a
leading reference source of study. To look at its
contributors is to be confronted with the names of a
stellar list of creative, scholarly pioneers who
willed a rich heritage of information about the
development and disorders of children and their
influence on the treatment of adults as well as
children. An innovative section, The Child Analyst at
Work, periodically provides a forum for dialogue and
discussion of clinical process from multiple
viewpoints.
Our newly created website offers a unique feature for
its readership. Readers are invited to post comments
and queries to the author of a featured paper in the
current volume which will be responded to by the
author; this creation of a conversation makes for an
active forum of exchange. The aim is to convert the
reading of papers from the mere acquisition of
information to an interactive and potentially
transformative dialogue.
