Spaces lived in, spaces left behind.
Spaces hardly known, spaces deftly mined.
Spaces beyond classification, spaces well-defined.
Spaces of the body, spaces of the mind.

IPA Publications Committee

The International Psychoanalysis Library, published under the aegis of the International Psychoanalytical Association, is the product of the editorial policy of the IPA Publications Committee: to serve the interests of the membership and increase the awareness of the relevance of the discipline in related professional and academic circles, and to do so through a continuity of publications so that the benefits of psychoanalytic research can be shared across a wide audience.

The focus of the Library is on the scientific developments of today throughout the IPA, with an emphasis within the discipline on clinical, technical, and theoretical advances; empirical, conceptual, and historical research projects; the outcome of investigations conducted by IPA committees and working parties; selected material arising from conferences and meetings; and investigations at the interface with social and cultural expressions.

Special thanks are due to the editors, Maria Teresa Savio Hooke and Salman Akhtar, who have developed this important material, on previously neglected aspects of such an important topic, into a book, and to all the contributors for their dedicated work.
