“It is moving to read a work emphasizing the emotional contact of work with psychosis. Whatever the importance of medical intervention, human need for feeling links cannot be underestimated. Lives Interrupted provides a warm heart, caring mind, and imaginative reflection touching pain and wounds filled with longing and aching creativity. The editors and contributors bring out atmospheric conditions that further potential healing and growth. It emphasizes psycho-social elements that touch heart and mind and a felt sense of what may be possible.”

Psychoanalytic Studies seeks psychoanalytically informed works addressing the implications of the location of the individual in clinical, social, cultural, historical, and ideological contexts. Innovative theoretical and clinical works within psychoanalytic theory and in fields such as anthropology, education, and history are welcome. Projects addressing conflict, migrations, difference, ideology, subjectivity, memory, psychiatric suffering, physical and symbolic violence, power, and the future of psychoanalysis itself are welcome, as are works illustrating critical and activist applications of clinical work.
