Influential Papers from the 1940s (Psychology,
Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy), ed. by R. D. Hinshelwood, Routledge, 2005
The 1940s was a time of great change in the psychoanalytic
world. The war sounded a deathblow to continental European psychoanalysis and
the death of Freud at first brought uncertainty over the future of
psychoanalysis but ultimately led to greater creative freedom in exploring new
ideas and theories. These years marked the birth of post-Freudian issues. There
was a reflective attitude towards psychoanalysis itself, caused by Freud's
death and the diaspora of analysts. There were new debates on the relations
between psychoanalysis and subjects such as philosophy and biology. There was a
good deal of freedom to review metapsychology, and ideas such as the
development of group therapy, now established, were starting to take root.A new
generation of analysts began to emerge at this time, those who would become
highly significant in the development of British psychoanalysis and the
object-relations school in later years. The 1940s was the first post-Freudian
decade and the most British decade of the International Journal. They marked an
abundance of new ideas and new individuals that would grow to leave their mark
on the subsequent decades.
Influential Papers from the
1950s (Psychology, Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy), ed. by Andrew C. Furman, Routledge, 2003
The 1950s were a pivotal era in psychoanalysis. It was a time
when psychoanalytic attention turned from the exploration of the internal world
to the external. The influence of object relational ideas grew on various
issues and Kleinian ideas gained a stronger foothold in North America. There
were numerous contributions on the subject of countertransference from varying
psychoanalytic schools of thought. Early preoedipal experiences between child
and mother moved to the forefront of analytic theory, coupled with a growing
recognition of the critical importance of this relationship on subsequent
development. There was a burgeoning interest in serious personality
disturbances.The first of the IJPA Key Papers Series: Papers from the Decades,
this is an indispensable volume packed with classic texts that are as relevant
today as they were in the 1950s, a pivotal era in psychoanalysis. They are
essential reading for anyone connected to or interested in
psychoanalysis.Contributors:Michael Balint; W.R. Bion; John Bowlby; Paula
