211 The IJP “Key Papers” series brings together the most important
1 psychoanalytic papers in the Journal’s eighty-year history, in a
2 series of accessible monographs. The idea behind the series is to
3 approach the IJP’s intellectual resource from a variety of perspec-
4 tives in order to highlight important domains of psychoanalytic
5 enquiry. It is hoped that these volumes will be of interest to psy-
6 choanalysts, students of the discipline and, in particular, to those
7 who work and write from an interdisciplinary standpoint. The
8 ways in which the papers in the monographs are grouped will vary:
9 for example, a number of “themed” monographs will take as their
30 subject important psychoanalytic topics, while others will stress
1 interdisciplinary links (between neuroscience, anthropology, phil-
2 osophy etc., and psychoanalysis). Still others will contain review
3 essays on, for example, film and psychoanalysis, art and psycho-
4 analysis and the worldwide IJP Internet Discussion Group, which
5 debates important papers before they appear in the printed journal
6 (cf. www.ijpa.org). The aim of all the monographs is to provide the
7 reader with a substantive contribution of the highest quality that
8 reflects the principal concerns of contemporary psychoanalysts and
911 those with whom they are in dialogue. This latest volume within

viii SERIES PREFACE
111 the “Key Papers” series identifies, reproduces, and discusses the
2 most influential psychoanalytic papers produced in each decade
3 since the IJP began. By “influential” we mean papers that not only
4 made an important individual contribution to psychoanalytic
5 knowledge at the time, but also went on to influence the develop-
6 ment of psychoanalytic thinking and concepts. The objective of this
7 and future volumes in the “decades” collection will be to provide
8 an overview of the development of psychoanalysis, as articulated
9 through its principal scholarly journal.
10 We hope you will find this and all the “Key Papers” mono-
1 graphs rewarding and pleasurable to read.
