“Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis” is one of the prominent psychoanalytic publishing ventures of our day. It will comprise dozens of books that will　serve as concise introductions dedicated to influential concepts, theories, leading figures, and techniques in psychoanalysis　covering every important aspect of psychoanalysis.

The length of each book is fixed at 40,000 words.

The series’ books are designed to be easily accessible to provide informative answers in various areas of psychoanalytic thought. Each book will provide updated ideas on topics relevant to contemporary psychoanalysis – from the unconscious and dreams, projective identification and eating disorders, through neuropsychoanalysis, colonialism, and spiritual-sensitive psychoanalysis. Books will also be dedicated to prominent figures in the field, such as Melanie Klein, Jaque Lacan, Sandor Ferenczi, Otto Kernberg, and Michael Eigen.

Not serving solely as an introduction for beginners, the purpose of the series is to offer compendiums of information on particular topics within different psychoanalytic schools. We ask authors to review　a　topic but also address the readers with their own　personal　views and contribution to the specific chosen field.　　Books will make intricate ideas comprehensible without compromising their complexity.

We aim to make contemporary psychoanalysis more accessible to both clinicians and the general educated public.
