Psychoanalysis, having been situated on the borders of natural and social sciences and humanities as well as the crossroads of Romantic, modern and postmodern historical conditions, continues to inspire and learn from extremely rich human imagination, thought and experience. This volume brings together leading scholars and practitioners from different parts of the world who present unique insights into the field of pschoanalysis. It forms novel dialogues between different psychoanalytic orientations as well as the particularities of diverse sociocultural and historical contexts.
