ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The initial motivation for this book is to be found in the need to estab-
lish a creative debate about psychoanalytic ideas and to explore simi-
larities and differences between two major psychoanalytic thinkers:
Klein and Lacan. In 2010, Catalina Bronstein and Bernard Burgoyne
decided to organise a series of dialogues comparing and contrasting
some main psychoanalytic concepts as they have been developed in
these two schools of thought, and invited prominent analysts from
both the Kleinian and Lacanian traditions. These new dialogues were
a continuation of the Klein–Lacan Dialogues of the mid-1990s, which
were held under the aegis of the Higher Education Research and
Information Network in Psychoanalysis (Therip). The idea was
welcomed and supported by the Psychoanalysis Unit at University
College London, by Therip’s management committee, by the Centre
for Psychoanalysis at Middlesex University, and by the Royal College
of Art. The New Dialogues took place at UCL between October 2010
and June 2011, and we owe many thanks to Professor David Tuckett
and Professor Peter Fonagy for their generous support for this project.
We would like to make special mention of Nicola Harding’s assistance
with the organisation of the Dialogues.
