Modern Psychoanalysis [antikvár]

This book was undertaken in 1964 at the request of the Board of Trustees of The American Academy of Psychoanalysis, and under its sponsorship. The American Academy of Psychoanalysis was founded in 1956 to promote the progressive, scientific development of psychoanalysis by furthering communication among psychoanalysts of all viewpoints and their colleagues in other disciplines in science and in the humanities for the purpose of inquiring into the phenomena of individual motivation and social behavior. Additional purposes were to encourage and support research in psychoanalysis, and to foster the acceptance and integration of psychoanalysis in universities and medical schools. Its record over the past eleven years is an eloquent tribute to the success of these aims. The published proceedings of The American Academy of Psychoanalysis Meetings which appear in the annual volumes Science and Psychoanalysis, edited by lules Masserman, reflect, more than anything I can say, the vitality of the scientific spirit in psychoanalysis that The American Academy of Psychoanalysis has catalytically fostered. I am deeply grateful to my colleagues in the Academy for their encouragement and support in bringing this volume into being.
