This book, the first in the series "Contemporary Freud: Turning
Points and Critical Issues," is published for the International
Psychoanalytical Association. Each book in the series presents a
classic essay by Freud with discussions of the essay by prominent
psychoanalysts from several countries. Analysis Terminable and
Interminable is considered Freud s clinical legacy, summing up his
sense of the potential and the limitations of psychoanalysis as a
therapeutic technique. Though many have regarded this essay as
pessimistic in tone, it has also been lauded for its realism and
for its hard-headed look at why therapy s actual outcome must
always fall short of the ideal. The contributors to this volume
discuss Freud s essay from many viewpoints. They place it in
historical perspective (written in 1937, it reflects Freud s
exposure to the savagery of Nazism), situate it in terms of Freud s
personal suffering (the death of loved ones, the chronic pain of
cancer), and relate his insights and observations to the major
theoretical issues of the period. Most important, this volume
relates Freud s essay to current issues in technique and to
controversies arising from different theoretical perspectives. An
introduction to the volume, written by Joseph Sandler, Ethel
Spector Person, and Peter Fonagy, provides a succinct overview of
the material. The book will be an invaluable teaching tool for
psychoanalytic therapists of diverse backgrounds."
