Elizabeth Auchincloss and Eslee Samberg, co-editors-in-chief of “Psychoanalytic Terms and Concepts,” a volume co-published by Yale University Press and the American Psychoanalytic Association, present the challenges encountered in editing a psychoanalytic dictionary in this age of theoretical pluralism and postmodern challenges to “authority.” The editors describe the strategies they employed in their management of “point of view” and give specific examples to illustrate the political issues they negotiated in defi ning terms and concepts. They also place their project in context by describing the political issues that have shaped the history of psychoanalytic lexicography from its beginnings. |
