Can we ‘stand inside’ new thoughts, rather than outside, looking at a closed box? This innovative and interdisciplinary collection aims to answer this question by broadening the way we look at and work with psychoanalytic ideas. By examining these ideas through the lenses of other disciplines, the contributors reveal what can be found when ‘boundaries’ are breached and bridges are built in psychoanalytical thought.

Additional Information
Judith Edwards here calls upon international analysts, psychotherapists and other professionals to explore the concepts of ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ in psychoanalysis, boldly challenging existing boundaries. The book emphasises the importance of listening across disciplinary lines and crossing frontiers within psychoanalysis itself. Edwards presents this original and global research with authority, showing us how these fields intersect and produce new understandings that allow us to grow and benefit from new perspectives.
