The questions of what psychoanalysis is, and does, and who can and
should practice it, remains key within the modern profession. Has
the invaluable material packed into Freud's The Question of Lay
Analysis (1926) been underestimated by contemporary psychoanalysis?
This book explores how the issues raised in this paper can continue
to impact contemporary Freudian theory and practice. The chapters
examine why the arguably litigious nature of the paper might be
contributing to its neglect and underestimation. The editors of
this book put forth a hypothesis: is there an underlying, still
unrecognized, but heartrending factor underlying the century-old
quarrel between "lay analysts" and what might be described as
medically or psychiatrically trained analysts? They then brought
together a selection of major contemporary psychoanalytic thinkers
from around the world to attempt to bridge the seemingly
unbridgeable gap between medical and non-medical analysis, using
The Question of Lay Analysis as a central pivot. The work of the
key figure, in social and historic terms, on this issue, Theodor
Reik, is also duly honoured. On Freud's "The Question of Lay
Analysis" will be of great interest to all psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists.
