This year we have the pleasure to introduce Jeremy Holmes as a guest publisher. He is a topclass representative of Psychoanalysis himself and he succeeded in getting contributions of real value about the presence and the future of Psychoanalysis from authors who instigate a lively development of Psychoanalysis. In his Editorial 'towards a secure theoretical and evidential base for psychoanalytic psychotherapy' he gives an introduction and an outline of this collection of psychoanalytic writings which are not written for psychoanalysts but for all psychotherapists who want to know more about today's Psychoanalysis, who want to do notional steps towards it, maybe for to break with old prejudices, to become more open again for psychodynamic ideas or to ascertain similarities that are much bigger then assumed until now.
