Psychology of the Self Online > IJPSP

Welcome to the new International Journal of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology (formerly Progress In Self Psychology) web page! The IJPSP, a peer-reviewed quarterly publication, is the official publication of the International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology and is dedicated to the exploration of contemporary psychoanalytic self psychology and related areas. The IJPSP publishes original articles, plenary presentations, commentaries, editorials, and brief communications. In addition, our Book Review section offers in-depth reviews of recent literature in our field. Subscription to the IJPSP is obtained through the publisher or as a benefit of membership in the IAPSP.

The work of Heinz Kohut and his colleagues provides the basis of what has become one of the most prominent sectors of the international psychoanalytic community. The IJPSP celebrates this spirit by offering a forum for the interpretation of the essence of self psychology along with its continued reinterpretation and expansion. This includes recognition of the interplay of ideas between self psychology and other contemporary paradigms in the wider psychoanalytic community. In this spirit, the IJPSP is committed to offering a high level of scholarship, theoretical creativity, the illustration of sound clinical practice, and a diversity of ideas.

The IJPSP web page now offers a powerful search engine, a listing of the Table of Contents of each volume, and an Author's Index to assist you in your research needs. The page provides Submissions Guidleines, including a direct way of submitting manuscripts and an easy means of contacting the IJPSP Editors and Staff. Included here also are links to web pages of interest to clincians and researchers.
