Authors: The Psychoanalytic Review
Information for Authors
The Psychoanalytic Review publishes peer-reviewed contributions to the literature on
psychoanalytic theory and practice, including interdisciplinary applications that
advance psychoanalysis as a body of knowledge and therapeutic discipline. Articles
report original research on relevant theoretical questions; clearly communicate newclinical hypotheses, observations, or approaches; advance issues within psychoanalytic
education; and enhance overall understanding of human behavior.
The Psychoanalytic Review accepts in-depth psychological manuscripts from all schoolsof thought on a wide range of theoretical, clinical, and cultural concerns. Researchmethodologies may be quantitative or qualitative, as well as based on individual cases
when persuasively applied to a general topic within the journal’s purview. On occasion,
articles and concurrently published commentaries on articles are invited, as are articles
for Special Issues on dedicated topics. The Psychoanalytic Review also critiques
pertinent books and films.

Manuscript submission
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the Editor atThePsychoanalyticReview@npap.org.
Articles will be accepted only if they are contributed solely to The Psychoanalytic
Review. The Editor should be notified if the article has already appeared in a foreignlanguage journal or has been submitted elsewhere. The journal does not typically
republish material and will not consider for publication in the journal any material
previously published online—whether self-published on an author site or a research siteused by a university or society, such as IJP Open—since there are no clear criteria for
distinguishing which is the article of record or for enforcing publication rights.
The journal follows a double-blind peer review process. Authors should send themanuscript as an attachment in Microsoft Word or a Word-compatible format, with aseparately attached blind copy that has the name(s) of the manuscript’s author(s) incitations and references replaced by AUTHOR.
Often a paper is accepted contingent upon revisions required by reviewers, or theretyping of references in the style of this publication. Authors are responsible for thesechanges as requested by the Editor.

A complimentary copy of the issue in which the paper appears will be sent to the author.
The opinions and views of the contributors do not reflect the viewpoint of the editors or
the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP).
There are no fees or charges associated with publishing in the journal.

when presenting case material. See, e.g., Clifft, M. A. (1986), Writing about
Psychiatric Patients: Guidelines for Disguising Case Material, Bulletin of theMenninger Clinic, 50(6),1–13 (posted on the Guilford website); and Kantrowitz, J. L.
(2004), Writing About Patients: I. Ways of Protecting Confidentiality and Analyst’s

Text documentation: Citations in the text of the manuscript should provide theauthor’s name and, in parentheses, the year of the original publication of the paper orbook. Example: “Freud (1914) said . . .”If the author’s name does not naturally appear in the sentence of the text, place inparentheses the author’s name, followed by a comma and the year of the original
