- Self Psychology:
The journal focuses on self psychology, emphasizing the development and dynamics of the self in therapeutic contexts. It explores concepts such as selfobjects, narcissism, and empathy, providing insights into how these elements shape therapeutic relationships. - Intersubjectivity:
A significant theme in the journal is the exploration of intersubjectivity, which examines the mutual influence between therapist and patient. This includes discussions on relational dynamics and the co-creation of therapeutic experiences. - Cultural and Societal Contexts:
The journal addresses the impact of cultural and societal factors on psychological practices, including discussions on diversity, trauma, and the effects of contemporary issues like the COVID-19 pandemic and wartime experiences. - Clinical Practice Innovations:
There is a consistent focus on innovative clinical practices that incorporate theoretical advancements, such as integrating somatic approaches, trauma-informed care, and socio-cultural perspectives into psychoanalytic practice. - Empathy and Emotional Connection:
Empathy remains a core area of exploration, with research focusing on its role in therapeutic settings, the continuum of empathic experiences, and the emotional connections that facilitate healing.
Trending and Emerging
- Trauma and Resilience:
Recent publications have increasingly addressed trauma, particularly in the context of global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts. This trend underscores a growing recognition of the need for trauma-informed approaches within psychoanalysis. - Somatic and Embodied Approaches:
There is a rising interest in somatic and embodied practices in psychotherapy, reflecting a broader movement towards integrating bodily awareness into therapeutic work. This trend emphasizes the importance of the physical self in psychological healing. - Cultural Diversity and Social Justice:
Emerging themes related to cultural diversity, social justice, and the impact of systemic inequalities on mental health are becoming more prominent. The journal is increasingly engaging with topics that explore how cultural contexts shape psychological experiences. - Relational and Community-Based Approaches:
The journal is trending towards relational and community-based therapeutic strategies, emphasizing the importance of social connections and community in fostering mental health and well-being. - Innovative Clinical Practices:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Psychoanalytic Techniques:
There seems to be a decline in papers focusing on traditional psychoanalytic techniques, with less emphasis on classical Freudian methods and more on contemporary adaptations that prioritize relational dynamics and cultural contexts. - Metapsychology:
Papers addressing metapsychological concepts have become less frequent. The shift towards more practical and relational approaches indicates a waning interest in theoretical frameworks that do not directly address the therapeutic process. - Individualistic Approaches:
There is a noticeable reduction in the focus on individualistic perspectives in psychoanalysis. The journal is increasingly embracing relational and intersubjective frameworks, moving away from isolated accounts of psychological phenomena.
